"That's impossible!"
"Then don't believe me if you don't want to. Anyway, shouldn't I be asking you your first question? Why did you leave the penthouse?"
His eyes softened as he sighed. He also knelt in front of me and held both my hands.
"I got an emergency call, sweetheart, and I had to go there."
"Don't you have an assistant? You have Denise and Andrew, right?"
"Yes, but I want to personally check what happened."
"Hmm..." I just nodded, although disappointment still knocks on the back of my head. "You haven't answered my question, what brought you here?"
But he said nothing, he just stared at me.
"Okay, you can leave now. I still have to finish my work---
"No, fix your things and we're going out!" He stood up and put his hands in his pockets.
"No! I will stay and finish my papers. You can go if you want."
I heard him breathe harshly and the next thing he did really surprised me. He saved the reports on the screen and closed my computer, then took all my personal things on the table and shoved them inside my bag.
My mouth was hanging in mid-air as I watched him doing it. He also arranged the books and folders in front of me, took my jacket and my car keys from the drawer.
"Wear this." He didn't even wait for me to say something as he put my jacket on my shoulders. "Come on, I already have a reservation in a restaurant---"
"Wait! I said I won't go with you!" I tried to pull my hand, but he only tightened his grip. "Daniel....ahh! Oh, my God, put me down! What are you doing?"
"You can always tell me if you don't want to walk, sweetheart and I'll carry you." And he started walking towards the door with me hanging on his shoulder.
-'What is wrong with this man as he loved to carry me on his shoulder, forgodsake!'-
"Fine! I'm going with you, just put me down!" I said gritting my teeth.
"No! You better stay there." And he slapped my butt like he did yesterday when he carried me to the penthouse.
"Ouch! Why are you always slapping me? Are you a member of BDSM?" I asked unconsciously, and it's too late for me to take it back as he gave me a humorous laugh that echoed throughout the studio.
"You're really driving my imagination wild, sweetheart."
And he chuckled again that caught the attention of the students and even Craig.
"But if you want, we can go into those things, you just have to tell me."
"Oops... what kind of things are you talking about? I can help if you want."
I heard Craig's voice, so I tried to look at him.
"Shut up!" I glared at him.
Everyone was watching us even when Daniel opened the door of his car and literally threw me in the
Passenger seat.
"Where are you taking me this time?" I asked when he's finally seated in the driver's seat.
"I told you I booked a reservation in an exclusive restaurant and we will have dinner together."
"Hmm... so now you're going to have dinner with the woman who has nothing to do with you." I smirked.
"Sweetheart, if you don't keep your sweet mouth from talking, I swear, I'm going to cancel our reservation and take you to the penthouse instead."
"And what are we going to do in your penthouse?" I don't know but the kind of smirk he gave me sent shivers like the ones I felt last night.
"I will ravish your body like what I did last night and make you scream my name again."
Memories of what happened suddenly rushed back to my head which turned my cheeks into a thousand shades of tomatoes.
"Anyway, if you would ask me, I would rather have you as my dinner than to eat in a fancy restaurant tonight. What do you think, sweetheart?"
I gulped as my heart stopped its beat for a few seconds.
"Uhm...I ---let's go!" He raised an eyebrow. "I mean let's have dinner and bring me back to the studio." I said avoiding his gaze.
