We walked into the company cafeteria and I felt all those eyes piercing holes in my body. Why was everyone staring at us like that? It was my first time here. The lady who had shown me around on my first day had mentioned this place, but we never came in.
Food at the cafeteria was free for the staff, okay not entirely free but whatever subsidized price we had to pay was debited from our salary. I know, more reasons for employees to work here.
“Why is everyone staring at us?” I asked Mr. Blackwood who was walking beside me.
He chuckled. “Because I am the CEO, little bird.” He said proudly.
I scoffed and shook my head. There is no way he wasn’t a Leo, you can tell from their pride, always feeling too important.
We were given a table at one end of the cafeteria. I could tell that it was a special table, but then it only drew more attention to us. We were still in the same hall with the others but at the end of the wall and at a more decorated table, there was this beautiful red material spread on it and a flower jar in the center.
The place we were seated also had exotic chairs and enchanting lights hanging down from the roof; I guess this was a kind of VIP section.
We got seated and the waiter arrived immediately to take our order. I know I said I wasn’t hungry but being around food kind of made me crave.
“I will have Deli and Salad Wraps,” Mr. Blackwood ordered.
“Alright Sir, what about you, Ma’am?” the waiter said, turning towards me. I couldn’t help but notice that he was a handsome young man, he could have a better career, unless the pay is that enticing.
“She will have Rice and Grain Bowls,” he answered suddenly. I turned to face him with surprise, how does he know what I like?
I nodded at the waiter who left the next minute and then I turned back to Mr. Blackwood. “Smooth, but I don’t remember mentioning my favorite dishes in my résumé”
“Well, you did post it on your socials.” He replied bluntly.
My jaws dropped. “Holy Mary! You are spying on me?” I gasped, trying not to draw attention to us.
“Again, she is not here, it is just me. Also, I wouldn’t call it spying if it is public information, maybe you should limit your post visibility to your followers alone.” He mocked.
“Yen Yen Yen” I mocked in my head.
The waiter showed up with our order and another followed with two glasses and a bottle of champagne. I turned to Mr. Blackwood immediately, “Did we order that?”
He laughed softly. “Chill, I am covering the expenses.”
“Ugh!” I groaned and clenched my fist. “I didn’t say I was bothered by the price, I just want to know if a champagne by 1pm wasn’t too much.’ I retorted.
He laughed again, that annoying laugh! I feel like plunging my hand down his throat and ripping off his vocal cords.
“I am the CEO, the rules don’t apply to me and you can take it that I am giving you permission, it is not like you are going to get drunk or something.” He teased.
This man is just impossible! I didn’t want to have any further discussion with him, so I grabbed my cutleries and faced the food. I was hesitant with the first bite and I could tell he was watching me from the corner of his eyes, but the moment those grains of rice went down my throat, my eyes widened.
The food was amazing and I didn’t hesitate any further. Completely ignoring his presence, I began to fill my mouth with food… It was spicy and I had a feeling that the chef was black.
“Easy there, Princess. Just a few minutes back, you claimed not to be hungry.”
I know I have pride but this was no time to banter with him, Mr. Blackwood was beyond reasoning and I was just hungry. I will eat first and then perhaps we fight later.
There was silence between us for a few minutes and then he broke it. “So Miss Joseph,” he resumed calling me by my last name. “Have you found a solution for my Diamond problem?” he asked without looking up at me.
I paused and swallowed slowly, then I shook my head sideways, hoping that he wouldn’t get mad. He also paused eating and stared at me.
“I am sorry, I was so busy yesterday, between the accident and other work I had to do, so I didn’t have time to research the issue. But I have a few ideas though.” I quickly added.
“I don’t want a few ideas,” he mimicked, “I want a lasting solution to the problem, is that clear?”
I nodded slowly and he hummed, “Don’t forget you have till midnight tomorrow to provide me one, and I would not take any excuses,” he stated and then went back to eating.
I sighed in relief and drank from my glass. I was having champagne for the first time and honestly, it was not what I expected. I used to think Champagne burned in the heart like spirits, how naïve I had been.
We were almost done with the meal when I heard Mr. Blackwood say something unexpected. “Take off your panties.”
My jaws dropped and a grain of rice fell off my mouth. “What?” I uttered in a whisper, like I had not heard clearly the first time. I almost choked on my food and I had to quickly take another sip of the champagne.
“I said, pull your chair closer and take off your panties,” he ordered with a little grin. There was no doubt that he was up to another mischief. Was I ever going to get a break?
“Why?” I said in shock and looked around. “There are people here,” I added, already knowing the answer to my question.
“That shouldn’t bother you, Miss Owl. Just do it, there is clothing on the table, no one is going to see you.” he smirked.
Good lord! This man was crazy!!
He locked his eyes on me intensely and I knew that he meant it. I didn’t know how he would react if I didn’t do as he requested. I took a deep breath and looked around, it didn’t seem like the people on the other side of the hall were looking at us.
My heart was racing as I pushed my chair closer into the red material, then I took my right hand under the table. I began to slowly pull off my panties, it took time to get off my waist without making a scene, but the moment it got to my lower thighs, it was easy to pull it completely off.
“I have taken it off,” I replied in a whisper as I held the panties tight in my palm.
“Give it to me.” He requested
“Huh?”
“You heard me, Princess. Give it to me…” he instructed.
I don’t know if it was the champagne making me light headed and less resistant, but I did as he said. I handed my panties to him and he smiled evilly as he tucked it into his suit pocket.
I looked around again, this time I caught a few people looking in our direction, or maybe I was just seeing things. I picked up my spoon and went back to eating like nothing happened. Suddenly, I felt something caress my thighs.
I was startled by the touch and I looked down immediately. It was his leg, he had pushed one of his legs in between my legs on the chair. I swallowed hard and tried to act normal, I looked up at him and he was still eating like he wasn’t up to some mischief.
When did he even take off his shoe and socks? He had his bare foot caressing my thighs sensually. I pretended not to be affected by that move until I felt his fat toe press against my clit. I jerked and my spoon fell off my hand, drawing everyone’s attention to me.
I felt embarrassed and I could see the wicked smile on his face as he kept eating. I bent down to pick the spoon but that only pushed my body closer and his toe poked dipper into me. I gasped and dragged the clothing on the table, almost turning it over.
I quickly picked up the spoon and tried to focus on it, but he sure knew how to use those toes and navigate his way around my clit. I felt this sensation run through me whenever he rubbed the surface of my kitty with the flat side of his toe. For the umpteenth time, I almost choked on my food.
He laughed and pulled back his feet, I breathed out in relief. At that moment, I noticed a moisture between my legs.
Fuck!! He made me wet! Maxwell Blackwood is a devil in disguise!! I don’t care how long it takes, someday I am going to get even with him.
“Did I make you wet already?” he asked quietly with a satisfying grin on his face.
I was shy and embarrassed, even the Champagne couldn’t save me from that. I dropped the spoon and picked a serviette. Lunch is officially over!
