Handsome, Let's Make A Baby!
Chapter 3 - Tension
This was highly unappreciated, especially since I can see my mother chatting away and laughing with my colleagues, saying goodness-knows-what.
Juliette Winters
Have you called your guys yet?
Liam Thorne
Do you know of the word 'patience'?
Juliette Winters
Patience.
Juliette Winters
The capacity to accept or tolerate delay, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious.
Juliette Winters
That word, you mean?
Liam Thorne
What, did you swallow a dictionary?
Juliette Winters
Did you swallow your patience yet?
I sighed, sitting down on the floor of the elevator.
Liam Thorne
What are you doing?
Juliette Winters
I'm sorry, is sitting on the floor illegal or something?
Juliette Winters
Let me answer you that, no it isn't.
My high heels hurt my feet after standing for a while.
Suddenly, I saw him slump against the wall and fall down, sitting in front of me.
Juliette Winters
I didn't ask you to join me.
Liam Thorne
I thought that sitting on the floor wasn't illegal.
I went to say something smart, but I decided to refrain from it.
He's my boss after all. It doesn't matter how annoying he is, I can't put him in his place like he deserves.
Liam Thorne
Why did you go silent?
Juliette Winters
Because I value my job.
Liam Thorne
You disappoint me.
Juliette Winters
I was never trying to impress you.
Liam Thorne
Many people do.
Juliette Winters
Good for them.
Liam Thorne
But you don't.
I suddenly made the mistake to look up at him.
I never noticed how green his eyes were.
His chiseled jaw, his sharp nose, and those lips.
He ran his tongue over his bottom lip unconsciously, and that was enough for me to turn away.
Juliette Winters
Do I need a reason for everything I do?
Juliette Winters
Well, if me not liking you is enough of a reason, then there you go.
Liam Thorne
But why do you not like me?
Juliette Winters
Of course, nothing is wrong with you.
Juliette Winters
My apologies, Mr Thorne.
Liam Thorne
Now you're becoming increasingly frustrating.
Juliette Winters
Glad that we're on the same page.
Suddenly, the elevator shifted and I felt us going down.
I sighed with relief, but he got up and slammed his hand against the emergency stop button, causing us to stall again.
Juliette Winters
What the heck?
Liam Thorne
I want an answer.
Juliette Winters
Are you joking? Take your finger off of it before this thing actually breaks.
Liam Thorne
I need one. Now.
I snarled at this arrogant guy who believed he could do whatever he wanted without consequence.
Juliette Winters
Fine. You want an answer? I'll give you one.
I slammed my hand against the elevator door, my face scowling.
Juliette Winters
You believe that all of this belongs to you.
Juliette Winters
The people in it included?
Juliette Winters
You're one step from becoming a tyrant king who cares more about the interior design of his palace than his people.
I placed my hand on top of his, pushing it off the button so that we could get moving again, and I suddenly saw his breath hitch.
I looked up and suddenly, I saw a face that I never believed I'd ever see.
He looked... so unusual. Something about him in that moment didn't fit with his normal personality.
Suddenly, the elevator began to move again and it pinged before Liam even had the chance to push the button to stop it.
The door opened and I walked out, right past his assistant.
He seemed dumbfounded, and immediately rushed to his boss's side.
Jason Smith
Is everything alright, Sir?
Liam Thorne
Yes. Everything is fine.
He pulled the cuff of his shirt down, walking out of the elevator and disappearing down the stairs to the underground parking space.
All while I headed straight for the one woman I didn't want left alone in my workplace.
