Chapter Four
Mr. Briggs
“Jesus.” I watch her ass sway as she walks away from me. The thought of chasing her out the door flashes through my mind… but I don’t. I’ll leave that for later when we’re not both trapped in this building. I know if I touch her again, I’ll be putty in her hands, especially now that she walked out on me for asking the loaded question.
My instincts were right about her. I had to push her buttons to remind me what she’s all about. That shit show a few weeks ago would’ve ruined any other woman. Mia stands just as tall as she did that night, not once playing the victim when any other woman would’ve broke.
Brent is a dick. I’ve always known he can be an asshole, but for him to publicly humiliate her in front of hundreds of people and then sit back and laugh… that’s an entirely different level. The way she stood up to him got my attention, what can I say… I love a feisty woman who’s not afraid to stand her ground.
I drop a few folders in the bottom drawer and grab my car keys while I watch her leave the building on the same security monitor I watched her come in on. Once I see which direction she begins to walk, I turn it off and make the easiest decision I’ve made all day. It’s time to finish what I started and get her sexy ass in my hands.
I avoid all my employees by taking the second elevator and slip out the back door. My Escalade is parked close, so it doesn’t take me long to get on the road and spot her. Her confident stride makes my dick twitch and sends a huge smile on my face. What is it about this woman that has me acting like a damn fool?
She turns the corner before I expect her to, but I still manage to follow her. Her sudden stop and sassy reaction when she sees me pull in front of her was well worth the wait.
“What is wrong with you? Why do you insist on ruining my life today?” She places her hand on her hip with a look on her face that reminds me of that night a few weeks ago.
“Maybe we should start over.”
“No… maybe you should just leave me the hell alone. You’ve done enough for one day.” I start laughing… because let’s be honest, I can’t keep my eyes off of her and she hates me with a passion. I’m not sure I went about this the right way today.
“Look… I messed up. When I asked you what your price is… that wasn’t to actually buy you. I wanted to see what your response would be. There are women constantly after me because of my money.”
“Well I’m not one of them… In fact, I don’t remember even acting like I want you at all.” God, she’s sexy as hell when she’s mad.
“And I remember Brent saying you were only after his money. I figured I’d just find out right away.”
“I don’t need a man for money… Jesus.” She yells back at me with so much frustration that I’m sure I’ve ruined my chances with her.
“Let me make it up to you. Go on that date with me and I promise to leave you alone if you still want me to at the end of the night.”
“What about my job?”
“I’ll clear everything up at the office.” I’ll make this right for her in more ways than she can imagine if she’ll just take me up on the offer.
“I’m not even sure why I’m considering going anywhere with you.”
“Because you can feel the pull too.” I don’t say another word to her as she walks around the Escalade and climbs in the passenger seat. She doesn’t deny the pull and I take that as a win.
