TAMING MR JERKFACE: Own By An Overbearing CEO

Writer's POV

Andre steps into the bar and look around until his eyes fell on Michael.... He's by the counter, drinking some beers. Andre took long strides towards him and taps him on his shoulder.

Michael sees him and smiled drunkenly.

"Andreee, man... you're here..." He slurs, he snaps his hand. "Hey, get me another glass!"

Andre looked at the empty bottles on the table and frown.... seven bottles gone.

"Michael, did something happen? Why did you drink so much?"

Michael chuckles.

"I.. I.. don't need... an occasion to drink, man"

Pinching the bridge of his nose, Andre threw Michael's arm around his shoulders and begin to help him out. "W-here are..." Hiccup. ".... You" hiccup. "Taking... me" he hiccuped.

"I'm taking you home" Andre replies.

"No.. no, I need more beer... beer will make me forget"

Andre doesn't know how to care for anyone, this is the utmost care... that's, taking him home.

"S-she... aborted our baby... My wife.. aborted our.. baby" he grumbled...

Andre successfully brought him outside and sat him in his car, then he rushes back inside to pay the bills.

He came back and got in the driver's seat... he turned to Michael, but he's already asleep.

He sighed.

"Next time you get your ass drunk... Make sure you call Sean not me!!" He scold the sleeping Michael. He starts the car and drove off.

********

"Thank you, Andre, for sending my husband home" Michael's wife thanked Andre after he's laid him on his bed. "It's Mr Knight.... And tell him to come see me when he's sober!" He glared at her.

The lady simply nod frighteningly.... Andre's temper is what nobody is able to keep up with.

"Take care of him, I'm leaving!"

"Oh, ok... See you Mr Knight!" She bide him good bye.

Debby's POV

"Oh my God! Lucas that's hilarious!" I said and hits Lucas's chest as Anna and I have been laughing our guts out. "Right? I was like.... grandpa take it off me, take it off me, it's gonna kill me!" He said.

Our laughter increase.... right now Lucas is telling us about one of his embarrassing moments when he was a kid. "But it was just fake snake" Anna said.

"Well, I didn't know that then... my bro told me it's real and honestly, it was so life-like"

I shake my head.... I can't believe Lucas was once a scardy cat.

I was so engrossed in our conversation that I completely forgot I was actually supposed to be in the office.

A gasp left my mouth when I mistakenly caught sight of the wall clock and saw how far time has gone.

"I'm done for!" I lamented.

"What?" Lucas and Anna asked simultaneously.

I got up and picked my purse and phone.

"I should be on my way!"

They both stared at me, feeling confused as to why I'm in a hurry to leave.

Well, having a psychopath boyfriend will make panic at every little mistake.... They won't understand.

"Where are you going? I'll drive you there" Lucas offered.

"Er....." I swallow my words.

I can't agree, what if Andre sees us together? I'm sure he's gonna kill Lucas... I'd rather not.

"Don't worry, I'll get a cab"

"A cab? That'll be expensive" he said.

"Then I'll take the bus"

He furrow his eyebrows and set his lips on thin lines.

"Are you tryna hide where you live from me? You don't want me to know?"

"Yes!" I blurt out....

Lucas blinked and clenched his jaw... seeing this I laughed nervously.

I think I was kinda too straight, I didn't mean it.

"I mean.... Where I live is not on your way".

Way to go, Debby! hm, what a lame excuse I came up with.

"I don't mind"

But I do, I almost said.... I smiled and shake my head.

"Are you scared of him?"

Ok, I think Lucas's questions are becoming too much... I mean, it's not like I'm in an interrogating room or something.

On cue, Anna taps to table and got our attention.

"Lucas, since you are so ready to be a gentleman, why not drive me home?"

"But Debby..."

"Debby's place is not far from here" she cuts him off...

She grabs his arm and begin to drag him outside, not before sending me a wink though.

Now, let's talk about me... I don't think Andre is back yet since he haven't called my phone.

But I don't think I can make it back to the office in time... maybe I should just go back to his mansion and lie to him that I'm sick that's why I left.

I smiled.... he's so gonna believe it.

Just then my phone rings, it's an unknown number... I answered it.

"Hello?"

"Debby, it's me Phoebe..."

Phoebe? Oh no! Does that mean Andre is back and he's looking for me?!

"Hey, Phoebe, is Andre back?"

"No... I just wanted to thank you for saving me earlier.... and also apologise for being rude, I'm sorry...."

I smiled.

"It's fine..."

"No, it's not" she interrupts me. "I didn't want Mr Knight to scold you that's why I wanted to scold you myself before he does... I kinda said some mean words, I'm sorry" Yeah... her words really offended me but I didn't react cause she was right... I mean, which uneducated girl gets to be an assistant in a big company such as Andre's. "Right, you aren't in your office. Where are you?"

"Oh, I almost forget to tell you.... please cover for me, if Andre ask about me tell him I'm sick and I went back home"

She gasp.

"You want me to lie to Mr Knight?"

I chuckled lightly.

"Kinda...."

"What if he finds out I lied... he's gonna fire me!"

"Don't worry, I won't let that happen"

She stays silent for a few seconds.

"Are you sure... I don't wanna lose this job, my life depends on it"

"Trust me... Andre won't fire you"

"Hm. Ok... I gotta go, Mr Knight just came in"

"Ok, ok... bye!" I hang up and sighed softly.

I should probably go get some sleep before Andre gets back home.

Writer's POV

"Angel, I'm back!" Andre called as he entered his office.

But he's surprised to meet an empty office, he rushed into the room attached to his office.

"Angel?" He called but didn't get any response.

Panickly, he rushed back to his office and check the CCTV footage.... he saw Debby doing a happy dance after he left, not too long Debby also left.

He clenched his jaw and fists.

"I told her not to leave!" He growled lowly.

He quickly reached for his phone and dialed Debby's number, but it went straight to voicemail.

After a few more tries, he frustratingly and angrily throws his phone across the office.

He pressed the intercom button.

"Get your foolish ass to my office, NOW!!"

"Y-yes, sir" Phoebe's shaky voice replied.

Within two minutes, Phoebe rushed into Andre's office with her head bowed down.... too scared to raise her head.

"S-sir... you sent.. f-for me..."

"Where's my Angel?!"

"S-she... s-she.... s-she...."

Andre got up and almost flipped his table, he was ready to yell at her.... but held himself as he recall debby's words. *Your workers are scared of you and that's very bad*

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath... he sighed and cleared his throat.

"Fucking speak without stuttering... where the fuck is my Angel?!" He asked a bit calmly this time.

Phoebe raised her head slowly and stared at him with a shock expression... this is the calmest she's ever heard him speak. "Are you gonna answer me?!" Andre asked getting agitated.

Phoebe blinked rapidly.

"She's already gone home sir"

"Home?!"

"Yes.... she wasn't feeling well so she had to leave"

Andre frown. "Sick?!"

"Yes sir"

He turns to his laptop and played the footage again.... he replayed the part where Debby was doing a happy dance.

*She doesn't look sick here* he wonders. *Well, I was gone for too long, what if she's really sick?*

"You, get someone to clean my office... I'm done for the day"

"Yes, sir"

He picked up his car keys and rushed out of the office.

Debby's POV

Andre's mansion....

I walked downstairs and followed the aroma of food, as it leads me to the kitchen.

Natalie and two other girls are busy..... some chopping onions, vegetables and potatoes... the kitchen is so big and spacious... and neat too.

Natalie sees me and a big smile spreads on her face, she quickly comes to me.

"Madam, what are you doing here? Are you hungry?"

"No... I wanna cook for Andre"

You know, since I'm pretending to be in love with him, cooking for him will make him feel my love.... I guess.

I'm ready to try anything to help him.... Well, also, I'll use this food as my thank you gift... for providing shelter.

"You wanna cook for him? No, he already told us not to let you do anything.... he'll scold us or worse fire us" "No, he won't"..

"It seems you don't know him... I've been working for him since he was eighteen and I know his temper very well"

I rolled my eyes, of course I know of his temper... after all he's fired like three people in front of me.

"Natalie, I don't need to spend eighteen years with him to know him well... I promise nobody will lose their jobs"

"But...."

"Natalie" I cuts her off politely. "Let me be honest with you... I kinda offended him today, I did something he said I shouldn't, so I wanna cook for him as an apology" Natalie stays silent and stares at me, like she's fighting with herself if she should let me or not.... I blinked my eyes innocently and showed her a cute puppy eyes. She sighed.

"Fine! But stand by your words... I don't wanna lose any of my staff!"

"Yes, yes... thank you!"

I rushed towards stove and take out a pot... But I stopped when something occured to me.

I turned to Natalie with a shy smile.

"Natalie... erm, what's Andre's favorite food?"

"He doesn't have a favorite food, he eats anything we cook provided it's sweet"

Huh? He doesn't have a favorite food? Is he human at all?

Whatever, I'll cook my favorite...... Spicy tuna!! I wore an apron around my neck and get into action.

*******

30 minutes later.....

Just as I and Natalie finished setting the table, the main door open and Andre walks in.

I rushed to him and took his briefcase from him and took off his jacket... he frown.

"Welcome, honey!" I chirped happily.

His frown deepens, I know he's surprised.

"Angel? I was told you're sick... Why aren't you sleeping in our room?" He asked.

I blinked innocently... Ok, I forgot I told Phoebe to lie that I'm sick.

"About that...." I don't know what to say.

Before I realize, he's swoop me in his arms.

"I'll take you to our room"

I simply nod. He head upstairs and enters our room, he laid me on the bed and tries to feel my temperature with his hand.

I dropped his briefcase and jacket... I held his hand and stop him.

"Honey, I'm fine"

"You're fine? So, Phoebe lied to me?!"

"No, no, she didn't lie... I asked her to tell that" he look in my eyes. "I was tired and needed some rest"

He sat on the bed and rest my head on his chest, caressing my hair gently.

"You could have rested in the room attached to our office"

"I wanted to feel warmth of our bed"

I peeped at him and noticed he's smiling. We stayed that way in silence for a few more minutes before I pulled away.

"Go take a shower, after we'll go downstairs for dinner"

He nods and got up, he head towards the bathroom.... Phew!

I head to the closet and picked out one of his PJs and laid it on the bed.

I heard the water stop running which simply means he's done bathing, I take his pj and knock on the door.... He opens it and stick his head out.

"Here, wear this"

He takes it and nod.

"Do you like it?".

"Yes" I answered...

He smiles. "Then I'll wear it" he shut the door and continue his business.

Soon, he steps out and walk towards me... he pulled me closer to himself and kisses my cheek.

"Do I smell fresh?" He asked me.

"Yes.. very fresh"

"Do you like it?"..

"Yes"

"Then I'll smell fresh for you everyday!"

Hmm... why do I feel like he's sounding like a robot? Weird.

"Let's go downstairs, dinner is ready" I take his hand and we head downstairs.

Andre look around the table and his eyes settled on the spicy tuna I made.... he quickly reached for it.

I thought he doesn't have a favorite food.... why is he eager to pick this one.

"Natalie, you finally cook something I like" he said.

I frown and turned to her, she doesn't prepare this for him? She shrug.

I turned back to Andre, he's busy stuffing his mouth.

"Andre, do you like it?" I asked him.

He nods. "My favorite!"

Well, I'm glad I made it.

"I made it" I said.

He stopped eating and glared at the tunas, then shift his glare to Natalie. He bang on the table and I wince, worrying about his hand injury.... but he doesn't seem like he care.

"What did I tell you?!" He growled.

From the corner of my eye I saw Natalie flinch back a little.

"S-sir..."

"Don't stutter! I hate it!"

"You said I shouldn't let her do anything"

"Then why did she cook?! Why did you let her near fire?!"

"Sir...."

"You're....." He cuts himself off and clenched his jaw.

His eyes shut and his chest raising and falling, like he's holding himself back.

Natalie looks at me for help.... I held his face and turned it towards me, I crashed my lips on his and kissed him shortly.

"Honey, calm down... remember I told you to be nicer to your workers"

His eyes snaps open and I almost cower away.... his eyes darkens as different emotions flashes by.

Love... confusion.... hurt... lust!

He held my head and crashed his lips on mine and continue kissing me.

I managed to wave Natalie off and concentrate on him..... if kissing me will make him feel better, then, so be it.

He lifts me off my chair onto his lap.... his kisses rough and demanding.

Like he's tryna tell me how much he wants me... how much he owns me.

He dominates my lips as he pushed me more into him.

His tongue enters my mouth and I oblige him. His hands caressing my waist, putting my body in a sudden great heat.

His kiss became intoxicating... possessive.... addicting.. making me want more.

He leaves my mouth and attack my neck, trailing kisses along my collarbone... sending shivers down my spine.

At that moment, I felt a pang of desire suddenly hits me.... I shake my head.

If

I let him continue it's gonna get out of hand and I might have sex with him.... someone I don't love.

I gave him a hard push and got off his lap. He frowns at me.

"Come back!" He ordered.

I sighed.... I feel like he's got an animal instincts just like Tarzan.... wait, maybe we are real life Tarzan and Jane!

"Angel?"

I moved closer to him and held his face.

"Let's not rush things, Andre"

"I'm not rushing.... you are my girlfriend!"

"I know.. but I'm not ready to... you know, have sex with you"

"Why? Am I not good enough?"

"You are good enough... in fact you are the best but we still have a lot to know about each other. So, let's take it slow.... ok?"

I'm scared he'll throw tantrums that I stopped him but surprisingly he nods.... wow! Anna's plan is really working.

"So, I have good news for you"

I sat back on my chair and put some chicken wings on his plate.

"Good news?"

"Yeah.... I'll go with you tomorrow to meet your parents"

He grins boyishly.

"That's good" he leans forward and kisses my forehead.

I smiled at him warmly.

"Let's eat!"

"Ok!" We continue eating.
