Domineering CEO: Girl, A Night With You Is Enough To Bribe Me

|| IRIS's POV ||

" I hope, your sister is doing okay."

I slid next to him, keeping a safe distance. He gave me a slow hum, still busy on his ipad. Ever since the kiss happened, I maintained a professional gesture to communicate between us. As much as it was my plan to seduce him, kissing him was a big deal. I didn't want my organization to think that I betrayed them especially him. Yet the news of his sister's odd accident made me worried. His sister, Rose was a sweetheart. I watched her interviews many times. She seemed pure-hearted, someone who was just born unlucky to be a part of this family. She openly said that she had no interest in politics. I just prayed that they didn't target Rose in this dirty game.

Mr.President looked me up in my eyes. For a second, his lazy stare raked on my body. My cheeks flushed in embarrassment. I knew that I was looking more than a seducer. Mr.Scott suggested that I wear something hot and pretty for today's evening. Mr.President had a small party with some big shots. As his female companion, Mr.Scott hoped that I would look the best in the party. For this matter, I should thank my bestie. Daisy, my friend did everything for me. She made me wear this pitch black short dress with a V neck shape. A pearl necklace adorned my throat.

He took his eyes off awkwardly. After an exhale, he replied, not meeting my eyes anymore,

" She is strong. She will be fine. You should be careful these days. I am suspecting that someone is targeting my people."

My stomach tightened into a knot after he regarded me as his people. I felt helpless and puzzled with my emotions. What will he feel if he finds out that I was the reason behind everything?

He added, returning his burning eyes on me again,

" Also..stay close to me as much as possible. I don't want you to get hurt like my sister. After tonight, they will definitely target you."

I shot him a blank stare. Was this really the rude president of the USK nation?

Artemis had always been said that Xavier was the name of terror. Despite being the youngest president, he had shady sides. He said that he had hands with powerful gangs and military. Then why did I feel like he was being concerned?

I replied with a small smile, hiding my obvious nervousness,

" Ye..Yes..got it.."

_________

" Wow! Mr.President finally has a girl."

A woman in short hair approached us with a sneaky smile. Her eyes stayed on me for a few seconds before shifting on Mr.President. We arrived at the party less than an hour ago. The party was extremely private as only thirty people were invited here.

Mr.President smirked, raising his cup to toast with the middle aged lady,

" Yes! She is my secretary!"

I let my fake smile, greeting the woman who definitely looked jealous. Gosh! Was everyone so into Mr.President? The lady was at least five years older than him. She was a smart woman with short white hair.

Someone called Mr.President from the other side. He went in the direction, leaving me all alone with the lady. She said with a chuckle, sipping her wine,

" You lucky girl! Do you know how many girls he rejected in the past as his secretary?"

I shook my head politely, keeping my ears sharp. I wished to listen to every conversation here. Maybe I would grab some useful information. The lady continued with a snort, keeping her eyes on Xavier Gray,

" Plenty! I was one of them as well but he declined. Tell me, was I so unworthy than you?"

Please! Was she trying to embarrass me?

I replied with a smile, grabbing another glass from the passing waiter,

" Umm..Maybe he likes younger than him."

Her smile dropped and I had the best satisfaction after walking away from her. She stood there infuriated but I had already found a corner to stand. As I continued to sip my wine, my gaze fell on a man who appeared familiar. When the man fully turned, I was electrocuted.

He glared at me back with the same intensity. It was none other than Michael. I was assigned to kill him last year but luckily he was saved. Michael was a renowned gang leader in New York. I wondered what he was doing at the private party.

My heart began to race quickly. I just prayed that he didn't recognize me. The following moment, Mr.President appeared next to me, asking in a low voice,

" Try to act close with me. These people still have doubts about us."

I compelled his words with a weak smile but all the time, Michael was watching me close. Being nervous around my enemy, I took a moment to go back to the restroom. Probably Artemis would be able to tell a solution. Just when I tapped on my phone to dial his number, Michael entered the restroom, holding a gun,

" Well..well.. What a surprise, Lady Mirana! I never thought it would be so easy to find you. Tell me..Who is your next target now? Xavier Gray or others?"

I blurted, clutching my phone tight,

" Leave me alone, Michael. I am not here for you."

He chuckled, triggering his gun,

" Nor was I but how could I let go of you when you almost killed me?"

I glared back at him in rage. Such a mess would destroy my whole plan. If Mr.President heard us, I would be dead as well. Michael continued aiming the gun. Just when I thought that his bullet was going to take my life, another fire was shot from the other side.

Michael laid flat on the ground. But the next moment,I faced the most unexpected person. Mr.President rushed in, holding me in his arms,

" Iris, are you okay? This fucker actually dared to target you. I am sorry. I shouldn't have left you alone."
