The Broken Angel & Her Overprotective Brothers - Chapter 93
“Does it hurt?”
Kaiden asked as he softly massaged her wrist after applying the gel on her bruises.
Emily immediately shook her head in denial. She watched as his shoulders relaxed a little after her answer as if all this time he was worried about hurting her.
Her sleeves were already rolled up to her elbows and Kaiden could still see an angry bruise just above her left elbow.
“Let me call a female guard. She will help you to take care of the rest of your bruises.” He said as he took out his cell phone to make the call.
But immediately a soft and delicate hand stopped him as it wrapped its fingers around his hand which was holding the phone.
“There’s no need, Mr. Sullivan. I’ll take care of it on my own.” Emily said as she looked at the man whose eyes held the power of consuming her entirely.
For a moment, Kaiden was ready to ignore her words as his mind was filled with the images of her being in pain because of all the bruises, but then one look at her deep green forest-like eyes, and he changed his mind.
He needed to respect her wishes and decisions.
He softly nodded his head in reply as he put his phone on the table.
Mr. Kim soon appeared next to their table with a tray in his hands. The two cups of herbal tea and a plate of cookies sitting on the tray caught Emily’s attention.
“Boss, I’ll wait outside for Master Daniel.” Secretary Kim told the young CEO after giving a soft polite nod in Emily’s direction.
After their meeting at the club nearly a month ago, Secretary Kim’s instincts were telling him that if he valued his life then he needed to stay as far away from the young Miss Alessandro as possible.
Kaiden just gave a quick nod to his Secretary before he once again turned his entire attention towards the girl.
He found his fingers curling into tight fists when he noticed that his little girl was once again busy staring at his Secretary.
What was so attractive about the back of Secretary Kim when compared to his ethereal beauty?
Should not her eyes be fixed on him and not on other unimportant people roaming around them?
The thoughts that were filling the usually sensible brain of the young CEO Sullivan, could make anyone figure out the depth of jealousy that he was experiencing.
“Are you alright, Mr. Sullivan?”
Emily’s soft voice pulled him out of his dark and depressing thoughts.
As soon as he saw the worry that was present in the depths of her green eyes that were observing him keenly, he immediately felt his mood changing once again.
“I’m alright. No need to worry.” He answered with a soft smile as he watched her looking at him in confusion.
“Oh! Well…..that’s good.” Emily replied with a forced smile as she tried to understand exactly what just happened.
One moment, it felt like dark and angry clouds had taken over the sky but the next moment, it appeared like everything was back to the sunny and beautiful weather.
“I heard that you are helping Rylan and Shane with their studies. I don’t know why you decided to take on such an impossible task, but I still want to thank you for that. I’m really worried about their grades but I heard that they are actually improving.”
It’s not like he was not aware of the deal between his brother and Emily, but he did not want to appear a creep in front of her.
“I agree with you,” Emily stated with a nod as she took a sip of the aromatic herbal tea which was helping her relax.
The tea tasted just as good and unreal as it smelled.
As she settled her cup back on the table, she noticed that the young handsome man was looking at her with raised eyebrows.
She could feel the dominating and powerful aura that was surrounding him, but miraculously, she did not feel scared for even a single second.
Since she knew what he wanted to listen from her, she decided to not make him wait as she immediately said, “What I mean is that it’s really not an easy job to make the two of them focus on the studies. Sometimes, I even get scared thinking that to make the two of them focus on their studies, I’ll end up losing my own focus.”
She stopped to take a quick sip of the fragrant tea before she continued.
“But after the constant struggles of the past month, even I’ve seen the little bit improvements that the two of them are showing. We still have a lot of time before our final exams and I’m pretty sure that by that time, these two will be far much better than their current ranks.”
“If you are sure about that….then I’ll trust you,” Kaiden said as he looked directly into the deep green eyes that too were looking at him.
“Thank you.”
Emily found herself whispering as she let herself be drawn towards the ocean blue eyes that were really to bury her in their darkest and deepest corners.
She could feel the tingles that had been softly running over her body all this time, becoming more powerful.
It was like something was awakening inside her, something that not only belonged to her but also him.
“Am I that good-looking?”
The soft celebrity voice that belonged to the Supernatural sitting in front of her, succeeded in pulling her out of her trance.
As her senses returned to reality, Emily realized exactly how close she had moved to his face.
There were only a few inches between their faces and there was no doubt that she was the one who closed the distance between the two.
The realization made her jerk back as she pulled her face as far away from the handsome devil sitting in front of her, as she possibly could.
“You did not answer!”
