Darling, only I can be your man

chapter 11

“What can I do for you sir?” Ariana preferred to keep things professional.

Without turning around Michael said, “Why are behaving so distant?” Michael was not happy about

her attitude towards him.

“I don’t understand with you mean.” Ariana decided to play dumb.

Michael responded rhetorically, “Have you ever?”

“…” Does he have to be so tyrannical?

When Michael did not hear any response, he turned around and made few big strides to get to her.

Ariana stepped back unconsciously so he stretched out his long arm to hold her by the waist and pull

her to him. As her body collided with his, then he went in for a kiss. Ariana felt her body went weak and

for a moment she forgot to resist. Michael’s kiss was so powerful that it did things to her. Ariana felt

ashamed to know that her body did not refuse his kiss but instead enjoyed it.

Michael did not released her until they were both out of breath. Ariana beat his chest angrily once

she was calmed, “Are you out of your mind? This is a workplace.”

“You are like an angry little Rabbit when you are mad. Do you know that?” Michael looked down on

the little woman and laughed out loud. Ariana blushed at his comment. That made Michael even

happier.

“Can you tell me why did you call me in here?” Ariana asked impatiently.

“Can’t I call you? You are going to be my woman after all.” He shrugged his shoulder shamelessly.

Ariana blushed even more and turned her face away ‘This man is a hooligan’.

“Come and have lunch with me.” He finally said seriously.

“I do apologize Mr. Matthews but I promised to accompany someone else for lunch today.” Ariana

responded with no sincerity. She really would prefer eating by herself than eat with people she barely

knew. Thinking about it, she barely knew anyone.

Michael instantly gotten angry, “Ariana, you are quite popular with men.” He remembered seeing

an employee holding her hand in the morning.

“What does that supposed to mean?” she really couldn’t understand him.

He responded sarcastically, “I saw you in the cafeteria hand in hand with another man. Do you

care to explain?” he was really angry about it this morning, he could hardly focused.

Ariana thought back to the cafeteria when Kevin held her hands. She did not felt like explaining

anything, “That is none of your business.”

“It is my business if I have the power of firing him.” Ariana looked at him with her mouth agape.

“Why would you do that, is that even necessary?” Ariana was annoyed of his behavior. “Could you

not do something as selfish as to fire someone without good reasoning?” Ariana asked in a pleading

voice.

Her pleading voice made the man gloomier, “Why are you pleading for him, Is he worth it?”

“…” Ariana just did not know what to say to this man. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Well for your information, I do have a good reason.” He stated flatly.

“And what is that?” she looked at him with curiosity.

“He tried to covet my woman and I cannot allow that. You now belong to me.” Ariana looked at him

with shock ‘How could this man be so confident that I will be his woman?’ Ariana did not want to say

anything more to him.

“Cancel lunch with him, if you don’t want him to lose his job.”

“Why do you have to be so difficult?” Ariana couldn’t understand why this man was behaving like a

child.

“Have lunch with me. I have ordered lunch for both of us. Alex will be here in few minutes.” He said

while pulling her to the couch. Ariana pulled back her hand. “Okay, I promise to have lunch with you but

at least let me notify Kevin that I can’t make it to lunch.”

Michael was not happy about it but he still let her go. He knew with her friend job as leverage,

Ariana will definitely come back.

…..

20 minutes later…

Michael was pacing back and forth in his office burning with rage. Alex stand close to the door,

ready to run out at any moment. He knew Michael will smash the entire office if his anger does not

subside quickly. He never knew Miss Fearon controlled the President’s emotions so quickly. Michael

had never been this angry since two years ago when his uncle attacked him.

“Mr. Matthews, maybe she forgot to come back.” Alex said shakily trying to reduce the tension in

the office but in fact he is making it worst.

“Get out! Get out if you know what is good for you!” Alex ran out of the office in time before he

heard loud noises in the office. Suddenly he thought of something and knock at the door even though

he feared for his life. There weren’t any sounds coming from inside the office at this time. Alex took his

time and open the door. “President.”

“Say whatever is on your mind Alex or get out of here.” Michael was infuriated and couldn’t believe

the little woman would disobey him like that. ‘Very good Ariana, you must be taught a lesson not to

mess with me’.

“Sir, I checked the camera footage of the company’s entrance and she went out alone. It seem as

if she was in a hurry.” Alex throat went dry and he swallowed his saliva to keep it moist. Mr. Matthew is

really scary.

‘Oh, I see. So she couldn’t wait to hook up with other men’. “So why are you telling me this?”

Michael asked as if it had nothing to do with him.

Alex blinked his bright eyes, ‘Is the President going insane now? Wasn’t he the one that made the

office a mess because Miss Fearon did not have lunch with him?’

“Sir, she is at the Dragon Hotel. We can go there.” Alex knew his boss well and even if he did not

want to admit it, he wanted to know where she is.

Michael took his jacket from the back of his leather chair and walk pass Alex. Alex hurried behind

his boss because he knew where his boss was going.

….

Meanwhile in the Dragon Hotel Restaurant

“What did you put in my drink?” Ariana was feeling hot from the inside. When she went back to her

station to send Kevin a private message through the company’s forum, Gina called and told her that

she had some news about her mother’s whereabouts and wanted to meet her.

Ariana did not want to go because she did not trust Gina, but she had no choice. She wanted to

find out about her mother and she could get another valuable information from Gina then she wouldn’t

have to be Michael’s woman.

Ariana met Gina in one of the private rooms. The food and drinks was brought in after she came

so Gina must have paid off of one of the waiters do it. “Gina, what have you done to me?” Ariana was

slowly losing her strength but she tried to stay conscious as much as possible.

“What do you think Ariana? Mr. Johnson will be your husband.” Gina said while laughing like an

evil witch.

“You bitch, I will have my revenge.” Ariana tried to get up but she stumbled. Gina easily took her to

one of the hotel rooms.

Suddenly the door opened and Ariana could faintly hear a man’s voice. Who is that? Oh hell, that

is Mr. Johnson. I have to get out of here. She tried climbing out of bed to no avail.

She fondled for her phone in her bag, she did not know who she could call. Emily was out on a

business trip. The only other person that might help her would be Mr. Matthews. Ariana did not think

about anything else and redialed his number. She did not know if the call went through or not because

it was rudely taken from her.

There were a thousand ants crawling in her body at this time and she need to be cooled down so

she started ripping off her blouse unsuccessfully. The only person she could thought of was Michael.

Before she lost full consciousness she heard Gina, “Mr. Johnson, please to take good care of my sister.

She called me for assistance but I cannot help her so I decided to call you since you will be her

husband soon.”
