TAMING MR JERKFACE: Own By An Overbearing CEO

Debby's POV

I took a deep breath and moved closer to him..... I reach for his bleeding hand.

"Andre.... calm down, come with me let me treat your wound before it gets infected" I told him...... but his gaze doesn't leave Phoebe. "You do you think you are to scold my Angel?!" He asked her.

She dared not say a word.... I guess she's too scared to speak.

"Don't blame her, Andre.... I'm her subordinate and she have right to scold me if I'm wrong.....

This angered him more and he bangs on his desk with his other hand.

"SHE DOESN'T HAVE RIGHT TO SCOLD YOU!!"

I almost flinch back but I know where this is heading, so I must stand my ground.

I held his face in my hands and nod..... a small smile on my lips.

"Yes, you are right... she doesn't have right to scold me. She was wrong, can you let her off the hook?" I asked him gently.

He doesn't say nothing.... he's simply clenching and unclenching his jaw.

I turned to Phoebe and signal her to leave.... she passed me a grateful smile and walks out, then I turn back to Andre.

"Angel... Why did you ask let her leave? She did wrong and must be punished... Go tell her to pack her things and leave, she's fired!"

I sighed and wrap my arms around his waist.... I rest my head on his chest and rub his back gently.

His body is so tensed, but relaxed when I rest my head on his chest.

"Andre, firing her won't help anything. You could have explained to her calmly why she shouldn't scold me.....

"Angel, are you defending her?" He asked.

"No, I just don't want you to leave a bad impression of you on your workers" I replied softly.

He rests his sniff my hair and kissed it, then he rests his chin on my head.

"You know... Your workers are scared of you"

"As they should!"

"No... that is very wrong, your workers should be able to communicate with you freely.... It will help the growth of your company"

We stayed silent for a few minutes... him sniffing my hair and I just hugging him.

Then I remembered his injury, I pulled away from him and leads him to a couch in his office.

"Where's your first aid kit?"

"There!" He points to a shelve.

I nod and rushed to go get it. I sat next to him and begin to disinfect his wounds... he hissed quietly and I blow it carefully.

I feel his stare at me... but I ignore him and focus on his wound.

I wrap up his wound as best as I can and smile proudly.

"It's all good now!" I said.

"Angel... you are too good for me but I'm not gonna let you go!" He said.

Hmm.... well, at least Anna's plan worked. I was able to calm him down and stop him from firing Phoebe.

I smiled at him... I see his lips quirk a little... like he wanted to smile but didn't.

My eyes moved to his desk and I sighed.

"Now you've destroyed your desk, what are you gonna use now?" I queried him.

"Phoebe will bring in a new one soon"

Just as he said it, the door open and two men came in with a brown new desk.

I rolled my eyes.... damn all the billionaires!

"I'll go get your coffee"

"No!"

"No?"

"You're gonna spill it on yourself!"

Awwwn! Is this him caring about me?

I held his hand and caress his cheek, staring in his eyes.

"I'll be extra careful this time!" I assured him and he agreed.

I lean forward and kisses his cheek and flashed him a sweet smile.

We heard a crash from where those men are arranging his desk and he whips his head towards them..... his eyes harden, like he's ready to yell at them.

I turned his head towards me.

"Hey, be nice!" He stares at me and nod.

I got up and head out..... though I felt his stare on me until I'm completely out of the office.

Seconds turn minutes, minutes turn hours and soon it's already 1:40pm...

Anna, Lucas and I are meeting at FK's by 2pm and right now I'm looking for an excuse to leave.

I sat next to Andre, watching as he does his work.... signing files upon files.

I sighed and stretch my body..... Andre stopped working and turn to me.

"Angel, are you ok?"

I shake my head.

"I...."

His ringtone cuts me off. I saw Micheal flashing on the screen, he end the call and faced me.

"What were you saying, Angel?"

I open my mouth to speak but his phone starts ringing again.

"pick it!" I told him.

He nods and picked the call.

"What?!" He growled.

I rolled my eyes..... very rude.

"I'm not coming!"

"Fine! I'm coming!" Then he hangs up.

He slams his phone on the desk and frown.

"Is everything alright?" I asked.

"Yeah.... I'm heading out but I'll be back soon" he said.

Wow! Heaven must be smiling at me.

"Don't leave our office until I get back!" He said.

I simply nod and smile.... he leans down and kissed my lips lightly.... then he heads out.

I jumped up and did a happy dance.... now I have time to meet with my friends. I will make sure to come back before Andre do.

"Debby! Over here!" Anna waved me as I walk in FK.

I rushed towards her and made myself comfortable on a chair between Anna and Lucas.

"You are 10minutes late!" Anna said with her arms crossed on her chest.

"Sorry, I was delayed by someone!"

"Someone?" Lucas asked. "You mean, Mr Knight?"

I nod and he narrowed his eyes at me.... eyeing me in a suspicious way.

"What's the deal between you two? Is he the boyfriend Anna told me about?"

Anna told him? I turned to her and glare at her..... now I'm not gonna get the end of it.

"Debby!" He called me.

I sighed.

"He's not my boyfriend, I'm just helping him get through.... a phase" I told him.

"But that's not what Anna told me!"

"Anna!!" I turned to her.

"Lucas, what did I tell you.... I said it's a long story" she defended herself...

Lucas looked between Anna and I..... I don't know if I'm seeing things but I think I saw hurt flash past his eyes.

"Lucas, trust me, he's not my boyfriend... I don't love him"

"Then why are you living with him in the same house?"

"Like I said, I'm helping him go through a phase"

Anna claps her hand and pulled Lucas's ear.

"Why are you sounding like a jealous boyfriend....." She trails off and gasp. "Don't tell me you are in love with Debby!"

I stared at her with wide eyes. How can she think that? Lucas and I can't work.... I mean, I've known Lucas all my life and I can't have romantic feelings for him.

I glanced at Lucas, he's smiling and his ears and neck has turned red..... like he's blushing.

Lucas and I?

I shudder at the thought.... it's gonna be so disgusting.

"Anna, what are you talking about? Lucas can't fall in love with me" I laughed it off as nothing.

Lucas stared at me with sad eyes.... I subconsciously move my chair away from him a little.

"Right! Anna, your plan worked!" I told her.

"I knew it will" she replied cheekily.

"What plan?" Lucas asked.

Anna wanted to speak but I signal her not too.... I don't know if what she said is right.... if he really have feelings for me.

If it's true that he has feelings for me, then telling him about our plan of taming Andre will be a problem.

It might affect our friendship.... I checked the topic and we start talking about the contest we won.
