Chapter 197 – Beginning with a Daring Encounter

Harry glared at Jade as he had no idea what she was up to, “I’m not shy…”

“Hello! My name is Aurora, but you can call me, Aura. You’re welcome to my spa.” the lady said with a cheerful smile as she extended her hand to Harry.

“Hi! My name is Harry,” Harry said politely as he shook her hand, and let go of it almost immediately.

“Hm. Aura and Harry… There’s a nice ring to it,” Jade said with a girlie giggle making Harry give her a weird look.

Celsie who was busy tapping away on her laptop suddenly paused when something occured to her and she glanced at Benne’s office door with narrowed eyes. Since Benne was the CEO, that meant it was Benne who had put the policy about everyone leaving the company environment once it was closing hour. And it was also Benne who had banned the act of taking back office work to the house.

Why hadn’t she thought of that? That law had been put in place just the next day after she kept him waiting at the office because she was busy with work. She had to admit that he was pretty sneaky.

Once Celsie glanced at the wall clock and realized that it was almost time for lunch, she picked up her phone, ‘Hey! I hope I’m getting lunch soon?’ she texted Benne.

Benne who was in the middle of a meeting, picked up his phone when it vibrated with a text message notification, “Give me a moment,” he said as he clicked on the text.

He blinked in surprise when he read the text, and then glanced at the door in the direction of her office as he tried to figure out if she was okay. How could she be asking him for lunch when she knew that he was in the middle of a meeting?

He glanced at his phone when it vibrated once again, and this time he sighed when he read the text, ‘I’m missing you. Let’s see a movie when we get home’

What was she playing at this time? He wondered as he decided to respond to her text, ‘I’m sorry, the CEO sent me on an errand. I will have him send someone to deliver your lunch’ Benne texted back, and then dropped his phone.

Celsie giggled to herself as she read his text, “Errand indeed,” Celsie murmured.

She glanced at her office telephone when it started ringing, and picked it up, knowing that it was Benne, “Hello, sir!” Celsie greeted politely.

“Your driver just informed me that he was supposed to deliver lunch to your office. I sent him on an errand, so I’m sorry you’ll have to pick it up yourself, for today. I hope you don’t mind?” Benne asked curtly, and Celsie grinned to herself.

“I don’t.”

“Good. You should get ready. We are leaving for Oceans Airlines the moment this meeting comes to an end,” Benne instructed her, and then hung up before she could say a word.. Since she wanted to be silly, he was going to be ridiculously silly with her too.

Once Benne’s meeting ended and the others left his office, Celsie walked over to his office door and knocked on it. She waited until he gave her the go-ahead and then walked in.

“Is there a problem?” Benne asked curtly without bothering to glance at her. His gaze remained fixed on his laptop.

“When are we leaving for Oceans airlines, sir?” Celsie asked while looking around his office curiously since that was something she had failed to do each time she had entered his office the previous times.

She noticed the door which led to his mini bedroom, and also another door which she guessed led to his private elevator. It all explained how always managed to play the boss and her driver at the same time.

Benne reached into his drawer and took out one of his cars key. He set it on the table and jerked his head towards it, “Take the elevator to my private parking lot and get the car started. I will join you soon,” Benne instructed her.

Celsie walked over to his desk and picked up the car key, “Yes, sir,” she said before walking out of the office.

Once she left the office, Benne raised his head from the laptop and glanced at the door. From her behavior, it seemed to him that what she really wanted was for him to act like a different person at the office, and then as her driver outside the office, and as her boyfriend at home. It was going to be difficult, but he was going to try. He would do exactly that until she got frustrated, Benne thought with a smirk as he shut down his system and then stood up.

A few minutes later Benne got out of his private elevator with a newspaper in hand as he joined Celsie who was waiting for him beside the car. He had not gotten himself a company driver because Harry often drove the car most times they were out together, and the few times he went out alone he preferred to drive himself or have any of his household staff drive him.

Without saying a word he got into the backseat of the car, leaving her to drive the car.

It was even better for him this way. She would be his assistant and driver during work hours, and he would be her driver off work hours. It all suited him as either way he got to spend time in her company.

Celsie adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose as she got into the car. At least this was way better than having her boss hold out the car door for her. She didn’t want anyone, especially Anita to be suspicious of her relationship with him.

She glanced at him through the rearview mirror and noticed that his gaze was fixed on the newspaper he was holding. So now he has gone from trying to get her to talk to him, to completely ignoring her? Very nice, Celsie thought in amusement.

“Is there any particular reason why the car is still on one spot?” Benne asked coolly without glancing up.

“Uhm, sorry sir,” Celsie apologized and quickly turned on the car’s ignition.

Was she weird for finding this whole role-play thingy very sexy? She kind of really liked how he was being a mean boss to her right now. She was looking forward to seeing the switch from mean boss to caring driver in the evening, and then to boyfriend later at night. Now she was beginning to feel like a weirdo. Who knows? If something like this was a turn on for her, then maybe she was going to be into the whole BDSM shit too, Celsie thought with a small giggle, and then Benne glanced up from the newspaper to meet her gaze in the rearview mirror.

“Is something funny, Miss Miller?” Benne asked, trying not to sound as curious as he truly was.

“Nothing, sir. I’m sorry,” Celsie said apologetically as she quickly returned her gaze to the road. Hot!

Benne shook his head as he continued to watch her. This had to be the most silly and ridiculous punishment ever. As simple as it all looked, it was difficult, pretending to be just her boss. He paused when something suddenly occurred to him, and his lips twitched in amusement.

“You were trying to get in touch with your best friend the last time, have you heard from her yet?” He asked, setting aside his newspaper. Although she didn’t want him to talk to her as Benne her driver, he had established a kind of brother-in-law slash boss relationship with her by virtue of Sonia’s relationship with Bryan, and as such he could talk to her freely that way.

Celsie glanced at him briefly, “I have sir. Thank you,” Celsie said, wondering what he was trying to do.

“Remember what I told you at the resort development center?” Benne asked, and Celsie met his gaze in the rearview mirror.

“What was that, sir?”

“About waiting for as long as you want me to, to make you mine,” Benne said in a very confident tone, causing countless butterflies to flutter in Celsie’s belly at his words.
