Chapter 80- A Visit
Kidnapped?
Marissa stared at Rafael’s face in disbelief. This was a very immature thing to do.
"I need to be in office, Rafael. There are people who are dependent on me. You just made me an in charge and now this irresponsible behavior of mine might invite suspicions."
Rafael slowed the car and parked it on the side of the road, "Then tell them the CEO decided to make you in charge and he decided to steal you from the office... and by the way..." he turned his body in his seat to face her, "Why always worry about people?"
"Because that’s my bread and butter," she said softly, "Not everyone is born with a golden spoon in his mouth like you."
After saying it she realized she made a mistake, "I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to... look. We need to go back. Your office..."
He took her by surprise when he leaned forward to unbuckle her seat belt. Not only that but his arms snaked around her waist to pull her onto him.
She was almost on his chest, "For a moment... just for a moment, Marissa," he pleaded, "Can you please forget about the office, in charge, work, your home, kids, home chores... your car, your kitten, your puppy..." Placing her palm on his mouth, she laughed hard.
Instead of joining the laughter, his eyes just stared at her face. When her laughing fit was over, she exhaled a long breath, "What do you have in mind? Because I can forget everything but not our kids."
He nodded in understanding, and she placed both hands on his chest to move back a little to put some distance between them, "So! What’s next?" she asked settling on her seat and trying to control her accelerated heartbeat.
Just to show herself busy and to control her overwhelming emotions she took out her phone and then cursed internally partly due to frustration and partly due to embarrassment.
