Reached #4 in Romance♡

"Wake up, Bella or you'll be late for work!" Penelope yelled from the kitchen and Isabella's eyes shot opened.

"I'm up, Gran!" She yelled back as she yawned and walked towards the bathroom. Megan and Isabella stayed up late catching on whatever was happening in their lives and Megan sounded happy as she ocassionally talked about Tyler. They went to the same college and their relationship was still blooming. It had been a week since she and Penelope were here and it had been a week since she last talked, well apart from professionally talking with him. She managed to ignore and avoid him the past week successfully but it was becoming harder every passing day. She wanted to be close with him but she couldn't as she was the one who pushed him away that day.

Isabella had a bath as she showered the night before and changed into a brown pencil skirt and black blouse. She pulled up her hair in a sleek ponytail and applied a dark brown lipstick. A little change in her dressing and makeup choice as she was fed up of the old, boring routine with no fun in her life at all. She slipped into her black heels and walked downstairs and almost moaned at the delecious smell of food.

She walked in the kitchen and saw Penelope cooking scrambled eggs and french toast. "I love you, Gran" She said as she stole a toast and stuffed it in her mouth.

"Go sit on the dining table, breakfast will be ready in a few minutes" Penelope said, smiling at her

"Where's Megan?" Isabella asked walking out of the kitchen

"She's sleeping" Penelope said. Isabella unlocked her phone and saw a message from Stefan.

Are you okay? You didn't reply my text -Stefan

She looked for any other messages and saw one You know, my feelings for you haven't changed yet_ Stefan

She frowned in confusion as why she didn't see the message earlier or why any notification didn't pop up but that was not the matter, the main concern was that he had texted her which meant he was back in town and she was not ready to face him after all these years.

Sorry for the late reply, I was busy_ Isabella

She heard footsteps nearing her so she put her phone aside and smiled at the sight of the breakfast coming towards her.

"It tastes so heavenly" Isabella almost moaned as she took a bite of the toast. It had been almost 5 years since she last ate the toasts made by her Grandmother. After finishing her breakfast, she picked up her bag, kissed Penelope on the cheek and left the house. She walked to the bus station and waited for about two minutes till the bus arrived. On the way to work, she was fidgeting continuously. There was this feeling in her heart that something was going to happen.

Just work all day and ignore that hulk of your boss her mind comforted her.

Walking out of the bus she yelled a good morning to Ellie and walked quickly towards the elevator as she was already late and didn't want to make Seth angry because it would only cause them talking more than usual, something she didn't want. She walked out of the elevator once it reached the top floor and quickly went towards his office, knocking on the door.

"Come in" his voice was thick. She walked inside and placed the cup of coffee in her hands on his table. She avoided eye contact with him as she handed him the file which she was given the day before to work on.

Just as she was about to leave the office, his voice stopped her "You're late"

She turned around and saw him resting his feet on the table while sipping his coffee. "I'm sorry, I was busy this morning" She replied calmly

"Mind telling why you were busy?" He spoke with his eyebrow raised

"Why do you care-"

"I need answer, Ms. Smith. You're late to work and you won't even answer your boss? I could fire you for that" He spoke and her eyes widened. There he was, back with his attitude and of course all that sweetness was a big fat drama as she thought.

"How could you-" Isabella started

"Answer" He spoke arrogantly. She slumped her shoulders and saw a soft look in his eyes, she wanted the ground to swallow her up because the look in his eyes was making her weak in the knees and she couldn't help but want to hug him and touch him bug she stood her ground and maintained her composure, avoiding his eyes again.

"I woke up late and then my Grandma cooked me some delecious breakfast so I got late because I was eating" She answered

"Your Grandma?" Seth questioned

"Yes, she came to visit me with Megan and now they both are staying for a few days" Isabella answered

"Is there any work for me?" She asked once he nodded

"Yeah there is, I want you to run some errands for me" Seth said "First of all, go and collect the red colored files from Mr. Brown from the Financing Department and then bring me a cup of coffee and then collect my suit from the dry cleaning which I have to wear tonight for an event"

"Okay, do I have to be with you in that event?" Isabella asked

"No, I won't be needing your assistance tonight and you'll be given off at 5, two hours early" He said while signing some papers

"Okay" Isabella said as she left his off and went straight into the elevator after grabbing her bag. She pressed the 5 button which was the Financing Department floor. Walking out of the elevator, she walked towards Mr. Brown's cabin. She knocked on the door and a 'come in' was his reply.

"Mr. Brown, I'm Isabella Mr. Anderson's PA. He asked me to collect some red colored files from you" She said to the older man who looked in his fifties.

"Ah, Miss Isabella I was just waiting for you, there are the files" Mr. Brown said handing Isabella the files. She grabbed them and walked out of his office not before bidding him a goodbye. She walked in the elevator and pressed on the ground floor button. The elevator reached the bottom floor and everyone in the lift got out. Isabella walked outside the company and made her way to the nearest coffee shop. After ordering and paying for his usual coffee, she walked in the building again reaching the top floor, she walked in Seth's office after knocking.

"Here are your files and coffee, sir" she said as she placed them on his table. Avoiding any hand or eye contact, she left his office and walked out of the company again to collect his suit from the dry cleaning. She went to the dry cleaning with Miguel and collected his suit quickly and they drove back to the company again.

Minutes later, Isabella was sitting on her chair, clicking her pen on the table. The intercom rang making her sit straight. 'In my office, now' Seth cut off the line before she even get a chance to say anything.

"You needed me?" Isabella asked once she entered the office but covered her eyes as soon as she saw the sight in front of her. She couldn't help but peek between her fingers.

"Uh, why are you not wearing a shirt?" She asked closing the office door.

"I accidentally spilled my coffee on it, can you please help me clean myself?" He asked. Isabella nodded while grabbing the box of tissues. She pulled out three of them together and hesitantly started wiping the fluid off from his chest. She bit her lip when she felt his burning gaze on her as she was cleaning. She pulled out some more tissues and bent down on her knees to clean the liquid for his stomach. She couldn't help but run a hand through his rock hard abs and he groaned. She pulled away quickly, feeling embarrassed of what just happened.

"I-I'm sorry" She said and started walking out of the office but he pulled her wrist making her turn around. She stared into his hooded eyes which were filled with hunger. She bit her own lip and stared at his face realising that she was now in for deep trouble.
