6 months later...
The wheels of his car come to a halt outside the building. I sit in the passenger seat for an extra second, recollecting my thoughts before the presentation I have to take part
in.
His hands reassuringly hold mine, giving them a quick but much needed squeeze. His touch is warming and calming as always. I shoot him a smile.
He gets out the car, walking round to my side and opening the door for me. The small gesture puts a smug smile on my face.
"Always the gentleman," I say.
"When I've got a woman like you, I can't help but be one."
I involuntarily blush and reward his sweet words with a peck on his lips. His eyes linger on me for a moment longer before he leans in for another longer, deeper kiss. My eyes widen at the gesture, but I eventually relax and kiss him back. He grins in the middle of the kiss, obviously enjoying it, so I have to be the one to pull away.
He groans. "Being a little late won't hurt anyone."
"I have to be the one who gets this company. I can't afford to mess up," I say.
"I think you're forgetting that I have an incredibly successful company too," he shamelessly brags. "But I'd still rather be here with you."
I roll my eyes and take his hand in mine, literally dragging him behind me into the building.
It's a meeting with many of the top businesspeople in the country, which is why he came with me as well. It's more like an auction of who can offer the best deal for new emerging companies to work with them.
Usually, I'm not the type to attend these degrading things where I need to beg people to work with me. But this time, the company is an engineering company that I know Eva Enterprises will heavily benefit from.
The security at the building checks us both in, and we walk towards the elevator. I press the button to call it down, aimlessly staring around the large glass and metal interior of the building.
A small gasp escapes me as he swiftly grips my waist, his large hand encapsulating me. The elevator rings, and the doors slowly open.
I'm pleasantly surprised to see that the elevator, which is already fairly small for such a large building, is empty.
"After you, my lady." He smiles, gesturing for me to go forward. I roll my eyes but smile at his continuation of being a 'gentleman.'
The building has 70 floors, and it is exhausting just to look at the buttons on the elevator.
"We're on the top floor," I tell him so he can press the button.
"We have a lot of time on our hands, then," he murmurs lowly.
"Yes, we do." I place a hand on both of his shoulders, pulling him closer to me.
My breath hitches in anticipation of his kiss. His lips haven't even touched mine, and I can hear my breathing already getting heavier. He smirks knowingly before placing quick kisses on my neck, which is exposed due to the lower-than-usual neckline of my blouse.
His hands rest on my bum as his lips travel up my neck and finally rest on mine. He kisses me twice. One is a short kiss from which he quickly pulls away, looking at my face briefly before diving in again.
The second kiss is slower, deeper, and makes my heart beat faster. My hands move so one is on the back of his neck and the other is holding his face.
I can feel the sharp bone of his jawline, which I trace with my fingers as his lips fight mine. We both try to dominate the kiss, like 2 swords clashing in battle.
One of his hands travels up and settles in my hair. I'm worried my hair will be ruffled for the meeting, but I don't care enough to ruin the moment between us.
"I can't believe you're mine," he breathes out, resting his forehead on mine.
"Better believe it." I smile and give him a small peck.

I look at the small screen in the elevator to see that we're on the 68th floor and will be arriving to the meeting soon. I look in the mirror that the elevator had and fix my dress and hair to make myself more presentable.
The top floor is one entire massive meeting room, and I can see that everyone is
already there and waiting for us as we come out of the elevator.
My face instantly goes red at the embarrassment, but he's unfazed.
"Mr and Mrs Chopra. Finally!" Mr Russo excitedly greets us.
I look around the meeting table, and everyone is already there.
Mia Alesky.
Hiroto Takahashi.
And Xavier King.
