Chapter 20: You belong to me
Elijah's pov ;
It had been a grueling day at the office, and the tension in my shoulders was a constant reminder of the stress I had been under.
But the real source of my frustration wasn't the work—it was Ash. Every time I saw him, he would be surrounded by admiring colleagues, which would erupt a fire within me. They couldn't get enough of him, and it drove me insane.
It's not like I was jealous or anything. However, I brought him here to insult him, not to make him into the golden boy of the company.
"I have watched all your movies," one of the new interns said as I halted in my tracks, watching them from a distance. "You're a legend! And to think you're working in this department, just like the rest of us..."
"Oh, it's nothing, really," he smiled shyly. "I've learned so much already, thanks to the amazing guidance of you Ms. Keller."
"You're more handsome in real life," One of the female colleagues touches his arm flirtatiously.
"That's very kind of you," he turned to her, face as red as a tomato. "I can say the same about you. You're all such talented employees. And it's wonderful to see everyone being so creative."
My eyes followed her hand that was touching him, she didn't take it away and he too, didn't seem to mind it at all.
But I was fuming inside. My eyes twitched in anger and my hands clenched tightly.
I couldn't stand the thought of another woman getting to touch him. What is happening? Am I seriously jealous right now?
