That drew Larry's attention to her. It was then he realised she was also chatting on her phone but he said nothing.
Didn't you place yourself right in front of me so that I'll take full view of you and also see you constantly? Well Miss, you are not in anyway attracting me. Even if you place yourself right in my eyes, you are still the ugliest girl I've ever known.
He felt like bursting into heavy laughter when he saw the shocked look on Melissa's face after she read his text but he knew that would be unethical of him and also more shocks to those who have been giving him mysterious look all the while, so he restrained himself.
Joanna on the other hand, kinda noticed that the person Drew is talking to is Melissa due that she followed his looks and saw the expression on Melissa's face. This didn't make her happy. She felt more jealous and she tried to distract Drew by speaking so loud on what does not even seem to concern her but her trick seem not to work.
What nonsense! Don't get me irated and just thank your stars that we are in a meeting. If not I would have dart the mug right in front of me at you. She texted adding a very angry emoji with it.
Drew couldn't read the text immediately because he was attending to something which Melissa also was included.
Joanna was glad that they both were occupied now. So, she spread her legs that it toughed Drew's and that made him look at her. Even though the look wasn't in anyway friendly, she still liked that he looked at her.
"Sorry" she whispered with a seductive smile.
Try it. He texted Melissa.
Joanna touched Drew's thigh gently and Drew feeling her hand on his thigh, dashed her a look of 'meaning?' But instead of her to remove it she begin to caress it. Drew who didn't want yo make a scene, hit her hand off his thigh but she placed it back immediately.
Melissa who wanted to reply his text got her phone slipped off her hand to the floor.
"Sorry my phone slipped off" she whispered to Larry and quickly bent to pick it.
She didn't know how her eyes got there but she saw Joanna's hand on Drew's thigh and he was trying to shake it off. She looked up at Drew who knew that Melissa will see what Joanna was doing sharply that Larry thought she couldn't find her phone.
"Has it gone far?" He asked with concern.
Melissa shook her head and bent back to pick her phone that was her initial plan before she saw what she saw. By the time she looked up, she wore a develish grin, not minding what those around will say.
Drew wanted to talk but he shut his mouth before any words escape when he remembered where he is. He sent Joanna a malevolent look that she fret and adjusted immediately.
You are really enjoying boss. She texted.
Drew knew Joanna just opened a door for Melissa to mock him and he was angry and at the same time he wanted to laugh at the looks Melissa is giving him. Melissa's brows were dancing up and down in mockery. She twisted the edge of her lips trying not to smile.
Fortunately for Drew the meeting came to an end with Larry who gave a closing prayer that doesn't even sound like one. Drew averted immediately while his guys packed his things and ran after him. Melissa too was not left out.
"Why the rush boss?" She teases.
"Should I have waited till everyone leaves?" He asked rudely.
He didn't even slow down his steps that Melissa had to be on the run to catch up with him. She don't even care despite her been on heels. All she care about was she mock and poke nosing she wants to do.
"Never said that. But your leaving show so much hurriedness" she said in disdain.
Drew stopped abruptly that Melissa who didn't know he was going to stop hit him and was about to fall but he caught her. she quickly bounced out of his hand as if she was held by fire and she gave a pouting expression looking at him.
Drew looked at her cute face thinking she is such a pest.
"What what exactly do you want?" He asked curtly with a frown even when he clearly know the answer to his own question.
"Hey don't be harsh on me boss. It's not my fault for seeing what I saw" she giggled like a Charlie.
Drew looked at her and shook his head entering his office. He knew she is really happy. She followed him into his office.
"But sir, let's be truthful here. I understand but you two should have endured till the end of the meeting" she stylishly mocked with a serious look.
"Melissa" he called.
"Hmm" she replied with excitement.
"Get out" he asserted firmly.
She gave him a crestfallen look. "Why?" She asked like a child.
"Stop wagging that your tongue and get out of my office" he insulted.
"Don't insult me. I was only saying the truth" she said firmly.
"I don't need it. I'm free to do anything I want" he retorted.
Melissa smiled. "So, you admit that you love the touch" she teased.
Drew felt like to strangle Joanna for what she did. If not her sly attitude, Melissa won't be here poking fun at him. He was suppose to be angry at her but he wasn't. He was only devising a way to get her off his back.
"You are disturbing me young woman" he raised his voice.
"Don't shout at me. It is not my fault I saw what I saw" she stood in akimbo ready to tackle him.
"Why are you acting as if you are jealous?"
He moved to his window and saw his father's cars emerged which means, his father is around. He knew if his father meets Melissa here, he would surely want to know the in to to of the issue which he never wanted. Now he tried more to think of what could send her off.
Melissa snorted with pride. "What is there to be jealous of" she chuckled.
"If not why are you here?" He gave her a skeptic look.
"I only came to advice you no to leave someone who doesn't care where the place is but show her unconditional love" she feigned seriousness but was seriously laughing inside.
Drew knew this. "And chief adviser how is that your business?" He invect.
"Sorry if it seems like I'm prowling into your private affairs. Just wanna help" she pleaded with hypocrisy.
"Private affairs?" He scoffed. "Is all of it not your fault?" He asserted firmly.
"Hey boss! Not there. Did I tell her to touch you?" She backchat.
She knew Drew was right but she will never admit it. If she hadn't allowed Joanna to sit beside him, she won't have done what she did because it was only Melissa's seat that is close to his.
"If you were on your seat, would it have happened?" He blamed her.
"I vacated my sit because I was tired of sitting beside you and since she's not the only person in the room neither is that seat the only empty seat available, then I'm in no way to be blamed" she defended hotly.
"You were tired or just want to look at me?" He asked with scorn.
"Who us5 looking at who?" She grimaced. "Don't try to put the blame on me. You could have commanded her to leave your side but you chose to let her stay knowing fully well she loves to glue. So why lie on pretty me?" she said firmly.
Drew chuckled at her word 'pretty me'. "I think I know why you followed me" he said with a smile.
Melissa gave him a quizzical look knowing that there's always nothing good that comes out of his devilish smile, so she made herself ready for it.
"You just came to finish what she started. Isn't it?"
Melissa almost got a heart stop at his thought. She didn't even see that coming.
"What!" She shouted and her face got hot immediately.
Her blush came to view immediately.
"I think I'm ready for you. Is it caress you want? No you are too greedy" he said shaking his head, moving closer to her and she moved back swiftly. "Is it pure romance, wiid kiss or even se......"
"Shut up" she shouted.
Now it was as if she was on fire. Her blush is now reddish. She couldn't believe he could say such words to her.
