TAMING MR JERKFACE: Own By An Overbearing CEO

Debby's POV

I check my phone and saw it's my landlord calling. I stepped away from André and head towards the door, but his voice stops me on my tracks. "Angel? Where are you going?"

"Toilet?" I said unsure.

I continue heading toward the door, but he came in front of me.

"I have a toilet here in my office, the one downstairs is for employees" he said.

"Oh! Well... I'm also one of your employees, which means I have to use the one downstairs"

He lets out a frustrated sigh, and mutters some words under his breath.

"Baby, I've told many times. What's mine is yours, why is it so hard for you to understand?"

Just then my phone stopped ringing. I turn away from André and scoffed.

"I need to get out of here, now!"

André eyes my hand..... suspiciously glaring at the phone in my hand.

As if the phone is telepathically communicating with andré, it starts to ring.

I check and this time it wasn't my landlord calling this time, but Anna.

God, something bad must've happened.

"Mr knights, I need to get leave now!" I said.

"Why? And besides aren't you going to answer the phone?"

"That's why I need to leave, I need some privacy"

He release a dry laugh.

"Privacy?" He asks, then he look at me suspiciously, narrowing his eyes at me. "Why would you need privacy, Angel? Don't tell me you are cheating on me with whomever it is that is calling you... Or I swear, that bastard will pay with his life" Cheating on him? At least, I should be his girlfriend first before I cheat on him..... that's how it works, right?

I just stare at him in disbelief.

This guy's way too possessive.... his future girlfriend or wife is gonna go through hell.

Anyway, I don't have time for his craziness now.

I need to call Anna back and know why she's calling the same time as our landlord.

"Mr knights, I'm sorry but I have to leave now" I gather all the strength I have and push him out of the way, he lose his balance and fell.

I quickly dash out of the room before he could recover.

I just pray my landlord haven't pack out our properties and lock the door.

André's POV

I watch Debby leave the office in a hurry.

I know that call was important to her, I just wanted to know who was calling her.

She seemed worried when her phone was ringing, but that stubborn girl won't let me know anything.

Just then, I heard a knock on the door. I stood up from the ground and strides toward my chair, I sat down and arrange my suit.

"Come in" I invited whoever it is that's knocking.

The door push open and Frank walk in.

Frank is one of my few friends and the bastard whom I asked to do a background check on Debby and that Lucas guy.

"Why did you come so late?" I asked him.

He did an eye roll and help himself to a chair in front of me.

He drop a file in front of me, he wore a teasing smirk.

"Debby..... 22years old..... she's an orphan. She didn't complete her high school, so she doesn't have any qualification. She lives in Lilly valley, apartment 24..... with her roommate" Frank said. She lives in Lilly valley?!

That's the most dangerous part of this city. That place is an opposite of its name, that is where all the drug dealers and gangsters hangout and do their business.

And the apartments there are all crappy. No, I must get my Angel out of that place.

I'll bring her to my mansion, wether she likes it or not.

Then another thought strikes me. I grip Frank's arm.

"What about that Lucas guy?! Who is he?! And what is his relationship with my Angel?!"

He laughs and remove his arm from my tight grip.

"They are just friends.... childhood best friends" he told me.

Unconsciously, I released a relief breath. And a smile crept up my face.

"Now, I've answered your questions, it's your turn to answer mine" he wags his brows. "Why are you so interested in checking out this girl's background?" "She's my girlfriend" I said without hesitation.

"Your what?" He asks with a shock expression. "Wait... Since when do you start doing girlfriends?"

He stretched out his hand to feel my pulse, I pushed his hand away.

"I know what I want when I see it" I told him.

"But you once said, women are the downfall of men..... that you would never.... I mean never ever.... date or get married. Now are you going back on your words?"

"Debby is different. The first time I met her, she didn't try to flirt with me. Rather, she was shy or maybe scared, I don't know. But she couldn't meet my gaze" I smile thinking of how I met her. "She's pure, honest and isn't afraid to speak up for herself. And she's mine"

Frank stands up from his chair and shakes his head.

"Man, I bet you must under a spell. I have other things to do, I can't stay and chat with you. But we'll talk about this some other time" he said.

He shake hands with me and left.

Phew!! Lucas is just a friend to my Angel, he wouldn't be that much of a threat. But even at that, I still need to be cautious of him.

I glance at the wall clock, it's been almost twenty minutes since Debby left the office.

Why is she still not back yet?. I should go check on her.

I got up from my chair and head out to look for Debby.

This is my company and I know nothing will happen to her.... but I can't help getting worried when she's not in my eye sight.
