Chapter 6

The next morning I was told by Grandpa to leave with my husband, Luke.

So now here I was sitting in the car ready, waiting for him while he was doing God knows what.

I knew he was trying to make me late for work intentionally. Not only was he opposed to me joining the office in front of everyone but yesterday night, he tried to talk me into telling Grandpa that I wouldn't be joining the office.

But I made sure he knew I wasn't going to budge from my decision, I warned him that if he insisted on me declining the offer, I'd let Grandpa know what he said to me the first night of our wedding.

I rolled my eyes and huffed when I saw the time on my watch, according to my calculations the company was a good 20-minute drive from the mansion. We had to get there before 8 and it was already about 7:30.

A honk brought my attention to my left side. A black Range Rover was parked just beside, Luke's Mercedes, in which I was sitting.

The windows rolled down and I was met with the side profile of the man who was quite literally the subject of my dreams.

As he turned to face me, I locked my brown eyes with his blue ones, which were giving a seductive look.

Before I knew he was exiting the car and then rounding the Mercedes and then he was on my side, opening the passenger side door, “Get out”.

“I won't” I replied and turned my head away.

“Get in my car, Amara”

“And why would I do so?”

“So you don't get late?”

“No thanks. I'm fine here and I won't be late.”

“Why are you so stubborn? He is making you late on purpose so it will leave a bad impression of you on the board and if Grandpa dislikes anything, it's tardiness. So you better get out of the car, I'm taking you to the company.”

I looked at him, he was dressed in a navy work suit and a light blue tie, the suit fitting him deliciously.

When I caught the smirk on his lips, I turned my gaze away.

“You'll have a lot more time and freedom to stare at me once you get in the car, sweetheart.” I rolled my eyes at his response.

“I don't have much time, Amara, decide fast or I'm leaving you,” He said after taking a glance at his watch.

I began to think whether to take him on his offer or not. I didn't want to leave a bad impression on my first day at work, which I knew Luke wanted me to, especially because he knew I couldn't drive.

Sighing in defeat, I grabbed my purse from the back seat and climbed out of the seat as Jason held the door open for me.

Making my way over to the passenger side of his Range Rover, I felt his hot gaze on my back.

I was wearing a teal pantsuit, and the pants made my ass look good. I purposely put a little sway in my steps, knowing it would irritate him.

And it did because I heard a low grunt. Smirking, I opened the door and climbed in before securing the seat belt around my waist.

He climbed in the driver's seat after me, “You should be glad we are outside and I'm serious with work or you wouldn't be even walking straight”

That put a surge of heat running through my body because I knew he was right, I first hand experienced it after that night.

But we weren't in the same dynamic as before.

“You wish. You ain't allowed to touch me” I said smirking because it was the truth.

“Tell that to yourself baby” He muttered and I huffed in exasperation.

The ride was not that long, because not only we didn't get any traffic but surprisingly Jason was also a smooth driver.

And even more surprising was that we didn't exchange any words during the ride.

We reached the company with more than ten minutes to spare.

“Mrs. Harvey, Good Morning. The Chairman had asked me to bring you to his office. This way please.” A sweet short lady greeted me with a bouquet as soon as I entered.

I smiled and nodded in response before following her, “And please, just call me Amara”

Jason, hot on my tail.

When we reached the Chairman's office, Grandpa welcomed me and gave me a few words of wisdom, which I appreciated. He also informed me to beware of some things and fifteen minutes after that I was in a meeting with the executives and board members of the Company, where I was introduced as the new addition to both the family and company.

Following that I was briefed about my job, which was being Jason's assistant and following him through his work.

I had to work under him for some time, to gain some experience about how the business worked and make myself familiar with the company. after this period was over, I would take over a position that would let me handle everything on my own.

He already had a secretary and another assistant to get the miscellaneous work done so I was to only learn from him.

And for that, I needed to go into his office to officially start everything, as he would be the one assigning me my work.

I walked over to the area where his office was. An assistant was sitting before his office at a desk, I was about to ask him to buzz Jason and let him know I was here but before I could do that he stood up from his desk and said, “Miss Avery, Mr. Jason is waiting for you,” and then he gestured his hand towards Jason's office direction.

I knocked twice before entering, but to my surprise the office was empty.

Well, that's until I heard the click of the door lock behind me.
