Chapter 9
There was a visitor at her door and gazing at the person, her breath clogged in her throat. 'How could he be here? Did he already come to know she was the one who….'
Sapphire concealed her face with her long chestnut hair and a mask for an excuse of corona so that he couldn't see her properly.
A tall handsome man with perfect tanned skin and exquisite features was standing before her at the entrance. His broad shoulders went down to a small waist, creating the perfect V shape. His hair was almost black, and he had a deep cleft chin. His lips were sinful looking, full and heart shaped. Not the sort of lips a man should have. A Greek God encased in formal wear was a single sentence to describe him.
Unfortunately for Sapphire it doesn’t get any better. Her mother was absolutely right. He wreaked dominance, which just screamed for her attention. His large masculine frame….oh lord! Her mom would have described him as built like a brick outhouse, and she stifled a giggle. She has to keep her heart under a lock, if she wants another medal on her coat for this assignment.
"Excuse me Ms? I'm Carl Campbell, the CEO of Johnson group of Industries." He had a sly grin crafted on his features and eyes gazing down at her naughtily, already knowing quite well what was going on in her mind.
Sapphire understood he was way more supercilious than required. She nodded coming out of her trance as he waved his hand in front of her.
"I'm sorry. Actually I'm not feeling well." She lied through her teeth.
"I once again apologize. Because of heavy rain and traffic I got stuck here. There is no signal too and I need to make an urgent call. Can I use your landline?" Sapphire could only nod, overwhelmed by his imperiousness.
She moved aside from the door and showed him the landline phone situated in the corner of the sitting room. Was the pensiveness because she was standing under the same roof the mafia leader was?
Giving him privacy she walked to the bedroom and sat looking down at her royal blue track pants, hands tucked underneath her thighs, crossing and uncrossing her feet, encased in matching blue sneakers that she had worn for a brief time at the gymnasium earlier.
Her heartbeat was inexplicably high. She did not have these sort of feelings towards any man, not even towards her ex-boyfriend Carl with whom she broke up two years ago because he was too possessive and suffocating.
Sapphire curled her toes in anxiousness and bit her lip. She was breathing the same air he released. She closed her eyes, his presence wrapped around her like a blanket, the smell of his expensive cologne, fresh and clean, like the ocean. In an inhalation, she closed her eyes.This was very much unlike her.
Sapphire was always a confident, intelligent and adept woman. In the past she had made the most dangerous people surrender to the NIA and pee in their pants. CarlCampbell was intimidating her in ways she hadn't tasted so far. The aura he carried around him was powerful, dominant and with might. Was it her uncontrollable attraction or it was an undeniable fear of risking falling in a trap for him, she did not know.
