Chapter 40: Giving Him A Chance

"Thank you so much Mrs. Catherine, that was a topnotch interview," Charles said to the journalist who was busy arranging the materials they had used for the interview alongside the camera operator. "Don't mention it please, I only did my job. Normally, I'm the one who is supposed to be thanking you for confiding the job to me. If not, there are a lot of journalists out there, but you thought about me," the journalist said to Charles. "Well that's because you deserve it, almost everyone in New York knows you as one of the best journalists, that's probably why he chose you," Sarah said to the journalist who smiled at her. "Thanks for the recognition," she said to her while taking some of the materials she could carry. "Don't mention it," Sarah said to her. "We will be taking our leave now. It was really an honor walking for the both of you. Whenever you want to conduct another interview, don't hesitate to contact us," the journalist said to Charles and Sarah. "No problems," Charles said to her. "Have a nice day," the journalist said to them before walking out of the conference room with her camera operator and with that Charles turned his gaze towards Sarah and started looking at her with a furrowed brows. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Sarah asked Charles before walking past him and walking towards the elevator. "You already know why I'm looking at you like that," Charles said to her before walking into the elevator with her and selecting the fifth floor. "Is it about the kiss," Sarah asked him with a furrowed brows. "Yes of course," Charles said to her in reply. "What's the problem, didn't you like it or wasn't it what you wanted?" Sarah asked while peering into his eyeballs. "What?" Charles exclaimed in surprise. "Didn't you like it?" Sarah repeated the question while approaching him menacingly and immediately Charles took some steps back while furrowing his brows in surprise. "Yes, I liked it but, but you took me unaware. This is the first time a lady has made a move on me," Charles said to her in reply. "Really?" Sarah asked him before taking another step towards Charles and immediately Charles stepped back again but got blocked immediately by the wall of the elevator. "You know you should actually stop approaching me like that. Normally I'm the one who is supposed to be doing that, not the other way round," Charles said to Sarah. "Hmmm," Sarah hummed and immediately Charles swiftly held her waist, turning her around and blocking her on the wall of the elevator and placing his second his on the side of her face while peering directly into her innocent eyeballs. "What are you up to, Mrs. Sarah Jones?" Charles asked her, but she remained silent, with that Charles started approaching his face towards hers, his hot breath brushing against her face, but to his greatest surprise, she didn't even move, she kept on staring at him as his lips were slowly approaching hers, as he was about to claim her lips, the door of the elevator suddenly opened jolting both of them back to reality. Without uttering a word to each other, the both of them walked towards Charles'office. Once they got in, Charles pulled out the chair, and she sat down and, with that, he too took his seat before taking his phone and unlocking it. "Wow, it seems like the interview had a huge success. No one is even talking about you dancing wildly at a nightclub anymore, everyone is talking about you kissing me," Charles said to Sarah before showing her the reactions and comments on his phone. "Well, that's the effect of the media. Thanks for coming up with this idea, for the second time I have outsmarted my anonymous enemy who is trying everything in his power to harm me, and it's all thanks to you. Thank you so much," Sarah said to him with a sincere tone. "Come on Sarah, enough with the thanking, helping my woman to be soon isn't a big deal after all, and believe me, when I say this, the person who is attacking you is also attacking me too and I'm not going to rest until I find out who it is and teach the person a lesson," Charles said to Sarah with a firm tone. "I'm happy to hear that, at least it's good to know that there's someone out there watching out for me," Sarah said to Charles with a warm smile. "Well, just as I said earlier, my help and protection is always exclusive when it comes to you; by the way, you said that there was something important you wanted to tell me before the interview, but didn't tell me the thing again," Charles said to her. "I have told you what I wanted to tell you already, but you didn't pay attention," Sarah said to him. "What? I don't remember you telling me anything before and after the interview," Charles said to Sarah, and immediately she heaved a sigh. "You were asking me to give you a chance, right?" Sarah asked him and he nodded in reply. "Well I have given you one already," Sarah said to him. "Really?" Charles asked him before jolting up from his chair. "Wait just a minute, did you think that I would have kissed you if I hadn't given you a chance?" Sarah asked him with a furrowed brows. "Thank you so much Sarah, I will never disappoint you, I promise," Charles said to him before approaching her. "Well you better not, I will kill you if you do," Sarah said to him. "I won't, I promise," Charles said to her before squatting down in front of her and holding her two hands and kissing it. "You have made me the happiest man on earth, and I promise you, I'm going to make you the happiest woman on earth too," Charles said to her before getting up and kissing her on the forehead, when he noticed that she didn't protest, he slowly approached his face towards hers, claiming her pink and seducing lips in a passionate kiss.
