PHOENIX'S POV
I get distracted by the icecream stall, all thr flavours...(How long has it been since I've had icecream..? probably more than 7 years now...)
Do you want some?
I hear Sebastian's voice from behind me and I immediately turn around to see him standing right behind me with a soft smile, without saying a word he went over to the stall and bought two icecream cones,
Here
He says, holding up a cone for me, I hesitate a bit but eventually take it.
Thank you...
He nods, still smiling and we sit at a bench eating it. It's been so long since I've had icecream, the taste was magical. I couldn't help but smile
You look beautiful when you smile
I turn to look at him my face turning slightly red,
Thank you...
He nods, you should smile more
(I lost my reason to smile a while back...I don't really have a reason to smile anymore...)
We eventually finished our cones and went to the next place for the meeting. We're now sitting in the next meeting room, I'm sitting on the chair next to Sebastian and the director is laying out the plan for the contract.
This won't work sir...
I say In a low voice, the director looks at me with eyes that look like that would pierce through me, Sebastian examines the sheets closer and also nods.
This rate won't work. We'll loose more money this way
The director takes a took at the file
No sir I can assure you it won't.
He said
It will. You didn't account for the interest for this
The director shakes his head again.
I can assure you Mr Ford everything will work out fine!
I can see Sebastian getting increasingly more and more frustrated, I speak up
He's right...it's won't work...you'll loose millions this way...
The director snaps his head towards me
Oh shut up! You don't know what you're talking about! I swear people now adays just hire incompetent workers who doesn't know anything!
Sebastian finally snaps,
DO NOT TALK TO HIM THAT WAY!
He yells at the director, everyone at the table goes silent, I'm a little startled by that tone and honestly a bit scared too. I see him resisting the urge to just strangle the man to death.
This deal is off!
He says as he takes my arm and drags me out of the room, still raging. We enter the parking lot and he's about to get in the driver's seat when I step Infront of him
Stop.
I say with the same authoritative tone I used when training the new recruits. He glares at me eyes still filled with rage
Liam move, I'm not going to say it twice
I stand my ground
No. I'm not moving and you're not driving when you're mad. It's dangerous.
He glares at me
I said move
I stand firm
No. Either you cool off here or give me the keys. I'll drive
He glaring at me with eyes that could set wood in fire but I spent 5 years as a drill Sargent so I wasn't going to back down too. After a couple intense moment he pulled out his keys and handed them to me, I was a bit surprised by this but I took the keys and got in the driver's seat and Sebastian got in the passenger seat. He pinches the bridge of his nose and close his eyes as he rest his head on the head rest.
SEBASTIAN'S POV
Confidence like that it's clear that he was in the army, I get in the passenger seat and rest my head against the headrest. I close my eyes trying to cool off. I feel Liam drive the car and I just keep my eyes closed. A while later I open my eyes and we're not home, it's the same spot...that same cliff top I took him too a while back. I turn to him
Why are we here?
He looks at me with those soft eyes,
You brought me here when I was overwhelmed with work, I thought I'd return the favor.
I wanted to protest but I actually thought for a while and realized all my anger was gone, replaced with a feeling of calmness around me. I turn to him
