|| Chapter Theme Song– Not Afraid Anymore By Halsey ||
[IRIS'S POV]
His gaze was fixed on me as I tried to uphold my nonchalant façade. My task was completed, and I didn’t feel like spending another moment in the same proximity as this scary man. The longer I looked into his eyes, the more I felt bothered. I looked down to smooth out my skirt and waited for him to dismiss me. However, that never happened. I was just about to ask for his permission to leave, but then his cell phone rang loudly, cutting through the thick tension that had been building between us.
Breaking his penetrating gaze from me, he looked down at the brightened screen. He accepted the call and stood up to walk over to the window to ensure the privacy of his conversation. I shifted my attention back to the laptop where the hacker’s location could still be seen, and I bit my lower lip. This was so aggravating! What was that motherfucker doing there in the first place? I continued to curse at the man for meddling in my business. Oh, it was such a good thing he wasn’t here, or I would rip his stupid head off.
Instantly, I shut down the laptop, stood up from my seat, and turned to look for the president. He was still at the window and looked deep in thought as his eyes were fixed on something outside. Not wanting to hang around any longer, I cautiously walked over to him. Staying a few feet away from him, I cleared my throat.
“Mr. President, since I’ve completed my task, can I go back to my office now? I still have other things to do.”
My voice came out calm and collected, but God only knew how much my insides were churning as the moments of silence passed. After a few minutes of just standing there, he turned around to face me. I blinked in confusion, not having the damndest idea of what he was thinking. His luscious lips curved up into an evil smirk as his eyes met mine. He seemed amused, and I swear that my heart stopped working for a moment.
“I’ve got a bad feeling about this…” I thought.
