“Okay, sir,” she muttered, and I nodded. I meant to hold her, but it was impossible to do so, especially as on our way down, multiple people embarked and disembarked, and at least at any time, two of them knew who I was.
Eventually, we were out of the building and in the back of my town car, and soon we were on our way to the airport. She remained silent as she stared out the window, and all the more, I couldn't wait for us to be together in the privacy of the plane. She was unhappy. I knew she didn’t exactly want me to comfort her, but I wanted to.
She was learning and she was getting immensely better, and I needed to commend her more often for that. Eventually, we arrived at the tarmac, and Raul tried to take her bag, but she refused.
“It’s incredibly light,” she told him, and together we boarded the plane. I loved being here. It was the first big purchase I had made after my first half a billion from investments. The firm needed it for speed, especially as our partners and reach began to grow, and most importantly, it ensured that I could have private moments like this to myself in the sky.
Chicago wasn't too far, but in these hours between, I was excited to spend a bit more time with her. Soon the doors were closed, and we took off, and I gave the instructions for the cabin crew not to bother us after serving appetizers.
She ate slowly and carefully as she stared out of the window, and I couldn’t help but watch her. She was so graceful when she was outside, but I knew exactly how wild and filthy she could get, and of course, how messy she could get as well.
We were alone now, and there was no reason to be apart, so I put aside my appetizer and called out to her.
“Hannah?” I called. She instantly turned around and looked at me. She smiled slightly, but it was nowhere near as bright as the ones she gave George.
Yes, I was jealous, which made very little sense, but I couldn't help it. I wondered when we would be comfortable enough with each other for her to laugh as loudly as she wanted with me. My being so stern and being her boss was definitely not helping matters, I was at least sure of this.
“Come over here,” I said. At first, she seemed not to be certain of what I was asking her, and then she understood. Setting her plate down, she rose to her feet, but I reminded her to bring it along. She did but was so nervous she hit her head overhead.
I hoped she was okay, but I couldn't help my amusement and that she wasn’t happy about it when she noticed, although she tried to hide it. She soon arrived and sat by my side, and I stared at her. She bore it until eventually I took the food from her.
“I’m not done with that,” she said, and I nodded.
“Yeah, you are. We’re alone now. You don’t have to be so stiff.”
At this, she instantly smiled, the kind that maybe was close to what she gave George. It was so beautiful I was fucking struck. I watched her, and she did the same to me.
And then she spoke.
“Why did you ask me to come with you? Would George really not have been better?”
I smiled at this but couldn't help but look away.
“I need George,” I said, and the smile instantly wiped away from her face. I leaned back into the seat and put my arm on the seat behind her.
“I need George, but I want us to have the time away. Hopefully, this issue with Haansbro will be rectified quickly and successfully, and then we’ll have the time away together.”
“The time away together,” she said, as though testing how it sounded in her mouth. And then she nodded. “Alright.”
“Does that sound good to you?” I asked, and she nodded.
“It does.”
“I know we’ve been intimate, but being in that same work environment can make things remain too formal between us.”
At this, she laughed out loud, however, her hand quickly slapped across her mouth. I was startled but still amused at the same time.
“What was that?”
She turned to me then, a bit shocked at her reaction. And then slowly, when she was convinced she had herself back under control, she removed her hand from her mouth.
“I, uh… I’m sorry. I don’t know what that was.”
“No?” I shook my head, refusing the cookie-cutter explanation. “You knew exactly what that was. Explain.”
She sighed then, but eventually, she spoke.
“It’s not just the environment.”
