I Am The One Who Saved You

You Smell like Vanilla

Elijah woke up at 4:30 in the next morning. She excitedly take her bath and and dressed up. At 5:30 she decided to leave her apartment and take a taxi to go to her job. She arrived at 6:20, and before going in, she went to the near store and bought her breakfast. She just waited outside the building to open while eating her breakfast.

"Eating in front of my building?"

Elijah jumped up out of surprise when she heard the voice behind her. She looked at the person who spoke.

"Oh! God!" She withdrew her sight when she recognized the man.

The person is no other than, the man with tail! And the man who took her virginity! What is he doing there? Wait, he said..

"Your building?" She looked at him again and even point her finger in the building.

"Is it not mine?" The man frowned while he's putting his hands inside his pockets.

Elijah gulped. If this is the owner of this building, then does it mean that.. He's her Boss?! The man she slept with is her boss?! But why does it look like he can't recognize her? She tilted her head out of curiosity and started to stare at him. Trying to read his mind but can't find anything in there.

"Ugh! What a bad luck!" She exclaimed but immediately covered her mouth after realizing that the man heard her. "I-I mean it's my bad luck to be seen by you while eating Sir!" She averted her eyes and look at the entrance.

"Who are you?" The man deep voice echo in her eardrums.

"Ah! Sorry for my ignorance." She fix herself. My name is Elijah Suarez, your temporary Personal assistant." She bowed her head as a sign of respect.

If this man couldn't recognize her then it's great. She has no plan of telling him anyway. All she needs is a training for her profession.

"Follow me." The man walks first so she have to follow. "Tell her what she needs to do, Joanna."

The man's back is wide. that night, she couldn't see his face clearly because of the night but now, she can tell that the man who stole her first time is actually handsome! Although he has tail. She keeps staring at his butt trying to find the trace of the tail but can't find any.

"Do you understand, Miss Elijah?" She heard the woman talking to her.

"Huh?!"

Gosh! She wasn't listening at all! First day of work and also her mistake. What a shame!

"Sorry, can you repeat that? I am actually nervous right now." She felt her nape itch a bit and the man stopped in front of her. That's why she bumped at his back.

"Ouch! Why did you suddenly stopped?!" She exclaimed.

When she realized what she did, she bite her lips and lowered her head. This mouth of her is really bad. She pinched herself as a punishment.

"You.."

"Eh?"

She feels the man presence closer to her so she raised her head. The man is standing in front of her with small distance between them. She frowned when she saw him frowned.

"Is there anything wrong, Sir?" She asked.

The memories of that night is like a teaser that playing inside her mind now. She withdrew her sight and look to other direction instead.

"Sir?" She heard Joanna speaks too.

"Nothing, let's go." The man turned his back at her and continue his walking.

But Elijah noticed that the man keeps throwing his gaze at her. She shut her eyes out of frustration. Did he recognize her now? Should she ask him instead?

"No!" She said in her mind. She simply shook her head too.

"Are you not used to use elevators?" The man suddenly whispered in her ears.

"Ahh!" She kept herself away from the man.

What's wrong with him? Why does he have to whisper in her ear? She saw the smirk on the man's lips. The lips.. Lips.. Her eyes widened with recollection. That lips actually touched her little crowns! She covered her face to hide her blushing.

"A.. Bit.. Yes, sorry." She will just use the excuse of her not being used to use the elevator.

"I see.."

Huh! How she wish the elevator reached their floor immediately! She can't take any longer to be with this dog! Yeah, he's a dog.. He has tail. Now that's remind her of something. That Sandal wood with mint, where it came from? What it's source?

"Miss Elijah, you have to accompany Mr. Frost to his meeting starting from today." The named Joanna finally talk again.

That is what she's waiting for a while now.

"And,what should I do while he's in the meeting?" She seriously asked.

"You just have to wait for his instructions. All you have to do is wait."

"Oh!" She nodded.

She heard the beep sound. Finally! They reached the top floor! They walk towards the only one door in that floor. When they entered, she saw the office table placed in front of the door. The sets of sofa in the corner, and another door at the other side.

"That's his room, he will use that if he's tired. It has its own shower room, and cabinet that full of his office uniforms. So if he needs to change, just get some from there." Joanna explained.

"Noted.." She said.

"You've noticed the table outside the door?"

"Yeah, is that where I should stay?" She asked.

"No. That's mine. Your place is there." Joanna pointed her finger to a certain direction and she saw the small table near her boss table.

"Eh? Why there?" She tilted her head again.

Why does she have to sit near him? She's just a personal assistant.

"Because sometimes, I urgently need something. And I hate to call for my secretary especially if I am working." The man spoke.

"So you placed that table near you so you can just ask the person sitting beside you without raising your head?"

Isn't it obvious? Why does she needs to ask? Tch! Bad mouth!

"Yes. It's good that you understand. Now, what time is it? I have a meeting at 8am in this building." He said again while removing his coat.

"Just observe for now Miss. Elijah." Joanna said.

"Oh! Okay.." She just sit in the sofa while her chin is in her hand.

The man is indeed handsome, he has brown eyes, thick eyebrows, not pouty and not thin lips, a sharp chin. And his hair.. His hair..

"Hah!" She gently slapped her face. That hair, she pulled that hair when he bite her neck that night.

Out of frustration and blushing face, she picked the candy from her pocket and eat it. Her nape is itching again but not too much. She smelled the vanilla flavor from candy. So she shut her eyes while rubbing her nape.

"What's that smell?" She suddenly open her eyes and saw the man's chest at first.

She looked up to capture his gaze. There's only 15 cm distance between their faces.

"What smell?" She asked. She gulped too..

"You.. smell like Vanilla."
