Temptation(37)

“Ms Summers, Mr Clark’s lunch request.”

“Yes thank you Sebastian, I will take it from here.” He gave me a strange look and almost hesitated, poor thing, I must have broken protocol or something.

“It’s fine Sebastian.” I gave him a reassuring look and got up to take the trolley from him.

“Very well, good day Ms Summers.”

Oh I liked him, he was so polite and sweet and I just wanted to give him a hug and tell him his mother would be proud! When he had left the foyer, I pushed the trolley to the door of Bryce’s office, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirrored panelling on the wall. I let my hair down and it fell nicely in waves across my back, my breasts however were conservatively covered up, so, I unbuttoned the top of the dress to reveal just a small section of my red lace bra. Being a shirt dress, I could also unbutton the bottom to allow a split which slightly exposed the lace atop my stockings when I knelt. Right let us see how this settles with him. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door, he didn’t answer right away which only added fuel to my fire.

“Yes.”

I opened the door and pushed the trolley through, Bryce and Chelsea were seated opposite each other at the lounge where we had shared our first lunch together, he’s eyes widened as I closed the door behind me.

“Your lunch Mr Clark, where would you like it?” Chelsea had her back to me and had not looked around. Smug Bitch. Bryce ran his hand through his hair giving away that my small adjustments had in fact been noticed.

“Just down here thank you Alexis.” I pushed the trolley towards him and stopped it right next Chelsea, so that it was in between her and I, from the moment I walked in Bryce had not taken his eyes off of me. Whatever it is you wanted to achieve Alexis, I think it’s working girl. I knelt down beside the trolley to retrieve the Bottle of Chandon revealing the top of my stockings, he fidgeted in his seat and uncrossed the leg he had rested on the other, I leant over to place it on the coffee table; this little manoeuvre exposed just enough of my bra which in turn made him cross the other leg over. I stood back up and was about to produce their plates when Bryce cleared his throat.

“Thank you Alexis.”

I turned to leave and flashed a triumphant expression. Yes, let this be a warning to you Mr Clark. Don’t Fuck around with me. I continued my revolve and walked to the door making sure my arse shook the absolute shit out of him and not once during my display, did I acknowledge that Chelsea was even in the room with us.





CHAPTER FOURTEEN



I closed his door behind me and leant back against it, that felt so good but it also felt childish and what moments of satisfaction I had just achieved had left me. What am I doing? I am above this shit. I decided I would take lunch myself and tie up a few loose ends which I would normally do from my desk, in person. I forwarded all calls to my mobile and got the hell out of there.

I managed to spend most of the afternoon out of the office, I thought I was home free when my phone rang, it was Bryce. Ah crap.

“Yes Mr Clark.”

“Alexis, where are you?” You tell me, stalker!

“I’m with Chris from Marketing.”

“When you’re done I’d like to see you in my office.” Shit.

“We are nearly done here.” I hung up. Who does he think he is? Yes he’s my boss but he doesn’t have any claims on me what so ever and after his cute display earlier today with Chelsea he had no right to have such a possessive tone with me, I’m not a toy and more importantly, I’m not his toy. Chris and I quickly finished up with our discussions on marketing the ‘Family Friendly’ rooms at the Promenade, he was very nice and seemed quite interested in my point of view as a Mother, I guess that was the point though.

“Thank you Alexis, you’re insight has been a great help. I’ll run a few of these ideas through an advertising submission and will contact you shortly to discuss with Mr Clark.”

“Great, thanks Chris I look forward to it.” I got up and inevitably made my way up to the Lion’s Den.

In the lift, I pinned my hair back up and double checked all buttons were fastened, I was not going to make a point by teasing him like that again. If he wanted to be the rich, playful bachelor that he was, that was his business and none of mine. I have a husband that I love and who loves me in return and I was more than happy with that. The doors opened and I headed straight for my desk, before I had even gotten half way there, he was out of his office and in the foyer.

“Alexis, a word please.” Hold ya horses. He seemed angry. Shit, I’m in trouble. I’ve really pissed him off. I diverted from my desk past him and into his office. You know what Bryce? Bring it on, I’m sick of these games as well. I put my bag on the coffee table but didn’t sit.
