Amanda went over to where Carla was sitting " Hey sweetheart, how are you doing?"
" I'm good, I guess " Carla replied tiredly.
" How are you finding this work? Too stressful? " Amanda asked, her brows etching in concern.
" Nahh I'll manage " Carla smiled, but it didn't quite reached her eyes.
Amanda smiled sadly " You'll be fine, okay? You'll get used to it with time " She assured. Carla smiled again, grateful to have met such a nice person in the company where almost all the employees seemed to mind their own business.
" Alright dear. I'll see you later. Take care " Amanda turned to go out but seemed to have remembered something so she turned back.
" Carla, have you had lunch?"
Liam looked on, watching the exchange between the women. He noticed that Carla looked taken aback by the question.
" Uh.... Not really. I'm not really hungry" She said quickly and Amanda frowned. Her stomach chose that time to betray her as it grumbled. Liam couldn't stop himself from laughing and he did. He laughed till he held his stomach in pain. He watched Carla's face flushed in embarrassment.
" It's okay, Amanda. I'll handle it from here. You can get back to work please " and he laughed some more. Amanda bade Carla bye and left.
" Why didn't you eat lunch? " Liam asked immediately the door closed after Amanda. He pinned his gaze on Carla and she looked away for a moment.
" I lost track of time " she muttered.
" No you didn't " Liam stated, not believing her for a second but chose to keep quiet.
" Anyway, I'll have lunch brought up to us now so what will have? " He asked, his hands already on the intercom.
" No.... You can't possibly..... I'm not hungry " Carla stuttered and Liam raised an eyebrow.
" I won't have that so you get to make a choice or I make it for you "
Carla sighed, resigned to her fate. " Okay I'll have hamburger and fries with water".
Liam looked surprised and impressed, " That's all?"
" Just because I get a free meal doesn't mean I'll overdo it. I'm okay with that, thanks though " She replied and the corners of her lips turned up in a smile. Liam looked at a while longer before speaking into the intercom " Have four hamburgers and fries brought up, and two bottles of water ". He replaced the receiver.
" Thank you " Carla repeated and shifted on her seat, putting her hands on the table. One of the papers fell at her sudden movement. She bent down to pick it up and in the process showed Liam her full cleavage.
The office seemed hot suddenly and Liam closed his eyes, fighting the urge to walk over to her, ripped her clothes off and took one of the creamy, white breasts in his mouth while he caressed the other. His trousers tightened and he could feel his dick rise, just thinking about her. He groaned, dreaming of how her breasts would taste.
There was a knock on the door, announcing the arrival of their food and Liam's erection doused like a cold shower, saving him face. He couldn't let anyone see him that way. Carla straightened up and on seeing the lustful look he was giving her, chose to answer the door herself. He looked like he was going to pounce on her any moment. So much had happened in one day, she thought.
She took the package from the guy, thanked him and closed the door. She took a deep breath. Liam was already seated on the couch on one side of the office. She waited for him to take his hamburger before taking hers. They ate in silence. Liam's throat tightened as he watched Carla took a bite and chewed gently. She licked away the crumbs on the side of her lips which Liam thought was sexy. God, how could she made eating alone sexy? He thought. The way she licked her sexy lips made him want to do many things to her which includes him on her, licking, biting, sucking and lots more.
Minutes later, they were done and got back to work, it was 3:25pm. The door opened and Alex strolled in, like it was his office.
" Yo man! What's poppin' ?" He didn't notice Carla on the far end of the office until she stood up to inform Liam she was done with some documents. Alex, on noticing her whispered, though Liam wouldn't call it that as everyone in the room could hear him clearly.
" Holy moly! Who on earth is that?! " He nudged Liam by the elbow and got a smack on the head.
" Idiot, don't you know how to knock? And what are you doing here? Don't you have a company to run? " He glared at Alex, who continued to gush over Carla like he hadn't heard a word Liam said.
" Oh my! She's fucking gorgeous! Liam who is she? " He nudged Liam again and Liam whisked his hands away.
" Didn't you hear what I said? " Liam ignored his question.
