Domineering CEO: Girl, A Night With You Is Enough To Bribe Me
Chapter 8
|| IRIS's POV ||
My eyes went wide in alarm. It was never our plan to appear here especially Mr.President. This huge office was full of reporters and media. By appearing here, Xavier Gray had literally risked his reputation. I warned him immediately, Alex looked stunned by his presence as well,
" What are you doing here? Go back please. I can handle him."
Mr.President only tightened his grip around me, his eyes glowing with murderous gleam. He sneered at Alex before shooting,
" I thought, you would like to switch your job into a man whore. Wanna join my club for service, Alex?"
Alex seemed terrified by his mighty presence. Probably he thought that it was easy to handle the president of the whole nation just like that. He tried to be arrogant, glaring back at Mr.President,
" You are disrespecting me, Mr.President. You don't know what I can do to your reputation.."
Mr.President cut him off, punching on his desk loudly,
" You don't know what I can do to you? Will you prefer it more if your wife finds out how you had been cheating on her with her sister?"
My mouth went dry in shock as Alex looked troubled as well. Clearly he didn't expect that Mr.President would dig out such confidential news of his life. Alex stuttered, still being an arrogant brat,
" Non.. Nonsense...You are just trying to frame me so that I don't write about your staff anymore. Let me tell you! I will write again tomorrow that you are a gay and a pussy to women."
His words turned the fury inside me. I looked back at him smugly, wishing to punch on his face but the whole office was already watching. Without thinking too much, I grabbed Mr.President by his collar and pressed our lips together into a kiss. The whole crowd gasped in uproar. I barely cared and kissed him short and rough. To my surprise, he returned the kiss more passionately. One hand holding my head, he deepened our kiss in a lovely affectionate manner.
Dead silence ascended around the room. After the kiss ended, I turned to Alex to reply to him sharply,
" I think, it's now enough for you to prove that he isn't a gay. Right, Mr.Alex?"
Mr.President looked shocked as well but he got back to his senses fast. Wrapping a hand around my waist, he added sharply, glaring at Alex who stood there, hanging his mouth open speechlessly,
" Also make yourself worthy before offering my woman. Your rat-faced attitude won't give you anything."

|| XAVIER'S POV ||
" That was a good show!"
I stumbled over my words weakly once we were back alone in the car. The whole drama of false news had died down once we kissed in the office. Multiple eyes witnessed that Xavier Gray wasn't a gay as per what Alex said always in the news.
Iris had been having a hard time facing me. After we finished the show, we sat in the car awkwardly for a while. I didn't regret being there. When I heard how Alex was giving her an indecent offer, I lost control over my temper. I couldn't clearly remember when it was the last time that I acted so recklessly. Apparently my presence there created a big mess.
Iris finally replied, her eyes watching the passing trees outside,
" You shouldn't have gone there. We have been successful but it will create more drama. The editors will now believe that we are in an indecent relationship."
I shot her a quick glance. She looked visibly upset for being kissed by me. I understood her hard. Any woman of this nation would be dying to be kissed by me. For some stupid reasons, her unhappiness pissed me off. The kiss kept playing in my mind. I would be ashamed to admit that it didn't turn me on. I had a hard time stopping kissing her. She tasted like strawberries, so soft and jelly. I wouldn't be a fool to say that I didn't enjoy kissing her. Ever since the kiss happened, she was always in my mind. It was strange how I got attracted to her from our very first meeting.
I assured her, using my casual voice,
" Money can fix everything. Your republican is safe with me. Also thanks for today. The idea was iconic."
She kept her lips shut which annoyed me a bit more. After tugging my tie off, I blurted out breathlessly, trying my best to sound rational,
" Are you upset with me for kissing you back? We are adults. It's no big deal."
Still she stayed silent the whole time. I gave her space, switching my focus on the tabloids which advertised the latest news of our project. Half an hour later, her voice pulled me in,
" Stop here. I have to get down."
She murmured 'Thank you' then got out of the car without looking at me. I still had to say something but she practically fled away from my vision. My heart grew upset by her cold behavior. When did I start fucking care about other's feelings, please?
My car started running again. I couldn't forget her face after the whole kissing drama ended. Before I could sink into my thoughts longer, my mother called me all of sudden. As soon as I picked it up, her cry from the other end,
" Xavier!!! Rose!! Rose got into a car accident! Please come back to find her at once."
My heart froze in panic. Shouting at my chauffeur, I urged to head to the hospital,
" Clover! City hospital, fast!! Faster!!"
All my thoughts blanked away. As an experienced driver for nearly five years, how did she get into an accident? Rose was always careful about driving her own car. She was praised as the safest driver in the family. I just wished that it wasn't any of my enemies again who targeted her in order to weaken me.
