Chapter: 10

ELENA

I was going through my mail when the phone rang. "Elena speaking, how may I—" A familiar voice interrupted.

"My cabin. Now." And there was a beep indicating that he had hung up. I blinked while still processing it. Did no one ever think of teaching him some manners?

"Sure!" I answered the line which was, well, dead.

I took the elevator to his floor and was very soon in front of his cabin. The CEO'S cabin was on a completely different floor, just the one above mine. He grunted a 'Come in' on knocking. Except his gaze wasn't trained on his laptop screen unlike usual. It was on me.

"How may I help you, Mr. Parker?"

Rylan's eyes twitched for an imperceptible moment, what I had picked up from our interactions, was a sign that he wasn't pleased about something. "It's Rylan for you."

"I'm afraid you're my boss here."

"And that's why you do as I say." He stated, too calmly, as if raising his voice was beneath him.

"You're infuriating!"
