Chapter 42 - Kiss interrupted (2/2)
”Haven't you read any romantic novels or seen any movies?”
”Why are you asking me this?”
”Ugh. I can't believe you.” Rachel huffed and walked away from him.
”Wait a minute. You thought your punishment was I was going to kiss you?”
Rachel's cheeks reddened at once. Daniel smirked looking at her shy face.
”Oh I didn't know you had this side too.”
”What side? I don't have any other side.” Rachel turned away from him in embarrassment.
Daniel chuckled and hugged her from behind.
”I can fulfill your fantasy for you.” He said and made her turn to him. He then leaned forward. Their lips were almost touching each other and they could feel each other's breath on their face. Rachel closed her eyes, her face became hot at once.
Daniel too was a little excited for the kiss. Even though he had been with quite a few women, he had never felt this giddy before.
The door to Rachel's office opened suddenly and her assistant walked in. Rachel pushed Daniel at once, making him almost fall. He glared at the assistant for his sudden intrusion.
The assistant had not seen what had happened when he had opened the door. But looking at his Boss fl_u_s_tered and Mr. Adler giving him an icy look, he realized that he had entered at the wrong moment.
”I am sorry, Miss Carter.” He apologized and turned to leave.
”What is it Bryan?”
”Miss Carter, your father is here to meet you.”
”Ohh. I'll see him in a moment.”
Bryan walked out, cursing himself for the bad timing. Rachel saw Daniel a little pissed and giggled.
”You look cute when you are angry.”
”He ruined our moment.”
”My Dad is here. You have to go.”
”Mr. Carter is here? That's great. I'll wait for him. Maybe we can tell him about our relationship.”
”What? No. He cannot know about us.”
”And why is that?”
”You have no idea how overprotective my Dad and my brother are. They will probably kill you and don't you think it's too early to meet my parents.”
”Relax, I was only joking. We will take it slow okay.” Rachel punched him in his c_h_e_s_t. She had thought that he really wanted to meet her parents.
”Ouch. Woman that hurts.”
The door to the room opened and Samuel walked in. The couple separated from their embrace.
”Mr. Adler, I'll mail you the details regarding the next steps.” Rachel said, trying to act cool.
”Yes Miss Carter. It will be a p_l_e_a_s_u_r_e to have your assistance.” Daniel shook her hand and walked out of her room after giving Samuel a nod.
Before walking out, he turned back to see Rachel looking at him. Her father's attention was somewhere else. So, he blew her a kiss and winked at her. Rachel's face flushed again at his gesture.
”Are you alright?” Samuel asked looking at her red face.
”I am fine Dad. Why do you ask?” Rachel was a little frightened. With his intelligence, she would not be surprised if her father had caught on what was happening between her and Daniel.
”Your face is red. Are you having a fever, dear?” He asked, worried.
Rachel took a sigh of relief. He had not suspected a thing.
”No Dad. I am alright. I think it was the spicy food I ate.” Rachel said thinking about Daniel.
”Silly girl. Take care of your self.” Samuel said.
”Anyway Dad, why are you here?” Although she was listening to her Dad speak, her mind was somewhere else. She was thinking about Daniel.
