His Lovely Obsession (English)

"I don't want to work for you." Stacey said.

A muscle jerked in Nick's jaw. He is trying hard not to show his annoyance. "Why not?"

She also crossed her arms in front of her chest. She looks defiant. "I have my reasons."

She looks even prettier when she in a fight mode which made Nick frown.

SHIT! Brace yourself Alcantara...she will not make this easy. He told himself.

"I want to hear your reasons." he said in a cold voice . He came closer to her.

Stacey wants to take a step back but she chose not to. He might think that she is intimidated by him. Their faces are probably just more or less twelve inches apart. She has her head raised to look into his eyes. He is so tall. She is not short but the top of her head is just a little above his lower lip.

"I want to keep them to myself." she said in a cold voice.

This man is really infuriating! His face is thicker than a hardbound book! Stacey thought.

"Hmm.. I have a pretty good idea why you don't want to work for me.. "he said and flashed a knowing smile while he nods his head.

Stacey's eyes narrowed and she put her hands on either side of her waist. She moved back a little then tilted her head to her right as she glowers at him. "Well, Mr. know-it-all, why don't I want to work for you?" she challenged him.

He moved forward to be closer to her again. His head is bent down slightly so he can look at her face . His eyes have a certain expression which is hard to describe. "Because you are a coward." he said .

Her eyes widened with surprise. "A coward?" she asked.

"Yes. You find me very attractive but you won't admit it so you want to avoid being with me. Of course if you work for me, you'll see me every day and you might not stop yourself from falling for me.. well that makes you a coward. " he said while his eyes are on her lips.

She has no idea that Nick wants to provoke her. He can already imagine how she will react to what he said.

"Of all the nerve! You think so highly of yourself!" she said angrily.

Before Nick could reply, a female voice called him. They both turned to look at Heather.

Stacey put some more distance between them. She is positive that Heather will be spoiling for a fight later when Nick is gone. Her half-sister is very possessive.
