0 Celsius: To thaw a frozen heart

Chapter 19: 12.5°Celsius

What was so dangerous about this Henry guy?

Why didn't Ronald wanted me to meet him.

Keeping my worries aside I decided to focus on my task.

I rehearsed again and again how to impress him with our business idea even though I don't know much

about business.

Finally I reached MM building and asked for Mr Henry at the reception

"2 nd door to your left...he may be busy so please knock before entering..."

I nodded and proceeded towards his door.

Calming myself down I knocked on his door lightly.

No reply

I decided to knock again a bit harder but this time I heard some noises coming from inside.

When I listened carefully I realised what was going on inside and stepped back automatically.

But as soon as I took one step back the door opened and a man with his shirts button opened and kiss

marks on his neck appeared.

He was not bad looking...instead he was handsome with his blue eyes and black hair...but the vibe he

had made me fear him.

"What!!?"

He asked in a cold voice and I found it difficult to utter a single word

"...Mr...Romano Rousso....send ...me....I..."

Instead of looking at my face I found his scrutinizing gaze on my body.

I shifted my weight from one leg to another feeling conscious.

I was simply wearing a baby pink cardigan over a white shirt..

The pencil fit skirt was showing my figure a bit but other than that there was nothing to look at.

I was simply plain and I don't think any guy will be interested in me.

"Come in"

He ordered and opened the door for me.

As I entered the first thing I saw was a very beautiful model sitting on his sofa trying to adjust her

clothes.

Her hair was entangled and she smoothened them with her hand

"Leave"

"But Henry we just starte-"

"I said leave...we will continue it later"

She was so beautiful....I couldn't take my eyes off her in admiration as she stared at me with hate.

She was gone closing the door behind her and making me fear the only man in the room.

He lighted a cigar and very elegantly placed it between his lips.

I silently stood there waiting for his permission to start.

I moved forward to hand him the file but he stopped me NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

"Keep standing there!"

He ordered and I froze wherever I was standing.

After 5 long minutes of getting ignored and standing like a statue he finally placed his phone down on

the table and looked at me.

His look made me shiver.

Making a cloud of the cigar he got up from his seat and stood behind me...

What was this man up to...?

Next I know the puff of smoke was blown on my neck behind and my body shivered with goose bumps.

I could feel his body heat radiating in waves behind me and my mind went blank.

"I am not interested in Alessandro's business proposal....these projects are worthless shits for me....but

you ....belle can be put to much use ...."

I turned around and glared at him with all the hate I could muster...

"I am here for business and I will not take any other bullshit"

I don't know how I got so much courage to speak to him like that.

But considering the fact that he disrespectful women like this boiled my blood.

"Fierce as a tigress....hmmm I like it...hunting down a challenge has always been my passion."

"Mr Henry I will like to keep it straight....the proposal is not just profitable but economically viable as

well...the incubator s to be installed will help us gain carbon credits. They cost millions and your

company is best known to invest only in those projects which save environment...I guarantee you this

investment will be one of your bests and -"

He interrupted me in between by signalling me to stop by placing his finger on his lips.

"I know Alessandro projects are always good...but he is not convincing enough...and I think that's why

you have been send here.."

"He understands my demands well and you are just according to it....so get started with pleasing me

and I may approve his proposal.."

I was shocked would be an understatement...Andro sent me here for this...

He wanted me to ...

How could he...

I know he thinks that I am a wh*** ..but this...is just unbelievable

"Strip girl I don't have whole day"

He looked at his watch impatiently as my adrenaline pumped at full throttle.

"Strip? Huh...for you...?"

"You think I am a bloody sl** who will offer her most precious thing...her soul to a fuc**** bast*** like

you!! No Mr Henry you are badly mistaken....other girls may kiss your feet but remember I will not

hesitate to kick your manhood..."

"How dare-"

"How dare you think that you will talk to me like that!! How dare you think that girls can be used

according to your wishes!! You are no man Mr Henry...no man...you are a coward who can't control

himself...you are weak!!"

He still looked calm

..I don't know how but his face was neutral to any emotions...

The nerve throbbing on his forehead and the clutching of his hands showed me how he was controlling

his anger. But I knew he could not control it much longer.

Picking up the file I decided to leave before I was killed and no body found my body.

I had spoken all my mind and nothing was left .

Except leaving I guess.

My worst fear proved true ...

He blocked my path and anger was evident in his eyes

"You can't escape after provoking the lion belle...it's time to face the consequences"

My eyes widened and on seeing the fear in my eyes he simply smirked.

I will kill you Andro!! I will kill you if I come out of this building alive!!.
