Chapter 15 Driving Her Crazy
Chapter 15 Driving Her Crazy
The office was quiet.
Natasha sat upright at her desk, her fingers flying over the keyboard.
Her hands never stopped moving, the steady clatter of keys filling the room.
The air was thick with barely contained anger.
[Percy, drop dead! I hope you get creamed by a truck and go straight to hell.
[Joelle, may her face break out so bad her fiancé bails, and she gets a nasty fungus that spreads to everyone she knows.]
Natasha typed rapidly, a twisted smile creeping across her lips.
Typing out these curses was the only thing that made her feel better.
“Ms. Whittier, what are you typing over there?” Leigh called out.
She’d knocked on the door for quite a while, but since there was no answer, she finally pushed it open and walked in with a puzzled look.
Natasha snapped out of her thoughts when she heard footsteps, quickly deleting the lines she’d typed in a fit of anger.
“Nothing. Ms. Blakemore, did you need something?” she asked, trying to sound casual.
Leigh seemed to suddenly remember why she’d come over.
“You’re supposed to be running the executive meeting in a bit, right? Why aren’t you in the conference room yet?” she
asked.
Natasha suddenly remembered there was an executive meeting this morning.
She’d almost forgotten all about it-Percy had mistaken her for Joelle last night, and it threw her off so much she nearly missed something this important.
“Thanks for reminding me. I’ll head over right now,” Natasha said.
She hurriedly tidied up her desk and walked over to the conference room with Leigh.
Today’s executive meeting was Natasha’s first time taking the lead as Jared’s assistant.
Everything was going smoothly at first.
But when Jared started speaking, Natasha found herself staring at him, almost zoning out for a few extra seconds.
Suddenly, she felt a rush of heat flare up inside her.
Her whole body grew restless and uneasy.
‘Oh no, is my old condition about to flare up again?’ Natasha thought, a wave of panic washing over her.
After storming out of Percy’s room this morning, Natasha had gone straight to the office.
She’d totally forgotten to take her meds.
And just at this moment, she had to see Jared…
She had to admit, when Jared was speaking, he had this irresistible masculine magnetism.
Natasha couldn’t help but stare at him a little longer, and suddenly, her body was aching for something she couldn’t name.
But this was the conference room, for crying out loud.
There were over twenty people here-not just her and Jared, but all the department heads.
If her condition acted up now and anyone caught on, she’d never live it down.
‘Crap, what am I supposed to do?’ Natasha’s mind spun with panic and dread.
She fought desperately to keep this crazy urge from taking over
But no matter how hard she tried to fight it off, she just couldn’t control herself.
The urge only got stronger, making her feel more and more desperate.
She licked her dry tongue and unconsciously clamped her thighs together.
While listening to the others’ reports, Jared caught Natasha’s subtle, unconscious gesture.
His gut tightened instantly.
It was like a fire had been lit deep inside him.

Chapter 15 Driving Her Crazy
Jared totally zoned out-he couldn’t hear a word the manager was saying anymore.
All he could think about was Natasha.
She was dressed in that businesslike black suit and pencil skirt.
But her gaze had turned alluring, almost entranced by him.
Her cheeks were starting to flush.
She looked so seductive, like she wanted to eat him alive.
If any other woman dared to eye him like that, Jared would’ve thrown her out of the conference room in a heartbeat.
But this was Natasha.
Instead of being annoyed, Jared was secretly pleased.
His body was betraying him, and he couldn’t help himself.
‘Shit! What the hell is wrong with me?
‘Am I catching her crazy condition or something?
‘Seriously… I want her. She’s married, and she’s my employee. This is insane,’ Jared groaned inwardly, completely losing it.
His face was getting stormier by the second, and the manager giving the report was sweating bullets, barely able to keep his voice steady.
He had no clue what he’d done to make Jared so unhappy.
The rest of the room sensed the tension too-everyone was holding their breath, not daring to make a sound.
Nobody wanted to get caught in the crossfire.
Only Natasha was still completely lost in the strange sensations flooding her body; she couldn’t care less about anything else right now.
‘Shit!
‘What am I supposed to do? I want him so freaking bad!
‘I can’t just jump Jared and tear his pants off right here, can I?’ Natasha thought, her face burning with embarrassment.
‘Oh my god!
‘What the hell am I even thinking?
‘Why do I keep lusting after my boss? Seriously, am I losing it? I could be fired!’ she groaned inwardly.
Natasha instinctively unbuttoned the top button of her blouse.
She just needed a breath of air, hoping it would help her pull herself together./
But in her desperation, she yanked too hard, and almost all the buttons on her blouse popped open at once.
Her lacy bra was now just barely visible underneath, teasingly exposed.
But so caught up in her own turmoil, she didn’t even realize that.
Jared couldn’t take it anymore.
His expression turned dark, his handsome face growing even darker.
‘She’s unbuttoning her blouse in the meeting room-seriously, who’s she trying to flirt with?’ Jared fumed inwardly.
Almost all the department heads in the room were men.
She looked absolutely irresistible right now-any man would be completely entranced.
“Meeting’s over!” Jared barked, his voice sharp and commanding.
The manager was still mid-report when Jared, furious, abruptly interrupted and ended the meeting.
The manager looked like he’d just been pardoned, quickly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.
People started filing out of the conference room.
Natasha hadn’t expected the big boss to call the meeting off halfway through.
She froze for a second, snapped out of it, and saw everyone else getting up to leave, so she hurried to stand as well.
She was planning to head back to her office and deal with the mess she was in.
But before she could make her escape, Jared called out to her, “Ms. Whittier, just a second.”

Natasha froze in place, her heart racing with frantic urgency.
“Mr. Rundell, is there something you need?” she asked, her voice trembling.
She was dying to rush back to her office and take care of her urgent need.
‘Come on, Mr. Rundell, please just make it quick, Natasha begged inwardly, her nerves stretched to the limit.
