The Taste of Seduction

Chapter 46 - Seduce Him

After an hour of packing, double-checking thrice that she had everything including her travelling documents, Meredith was now ready to go. Her brother was still at the football camp and he would be back next week so she would be back before he comes.

She didn't know when Sofia would also be back so she called her.

"Merri!" came Sofia's excited voice through the earpiece of her phone.

A soft smile graced Meredith's face, "Sofia, how are you?" Meredith asked, even though they spoke every night she still missed her friend.

"Good! I met a handsome guy and I just asked him out. He agreed, I'm so happy!"

Meredith chuckled; her friend was really crazy. Who was bold enough to ask a guy she just met out? Only Sofia.

"Hmm so you're going to do a one-night stand with him? Because the last time I checked you didn't do relationships."

"You know me well Merri," Sofia laughed causing Meredith to shake her head. She didn't know why her friend was so afraid to fall in love. Her longest relationship since she knew her was three days. It was a miracle it lasted that long. She was always the one asking guys out too. Weird. Probably she had her reasons.

"I'm not rich to be an auntie yet, be careful!" Meredith attempted to be stern but there was a helpless smile on her face and while she spoke, it reflected in her voice.

"Yes ma'am. So, what's up? Why are you calling me this early morning? No work today?"

"Yeah. I'm going on a trip with my boss." Meredith bit her lips waiting for Sofia's reaction.

"What?!Alone with him?" Sofia yelled.

"Yes."

Sofia was quiet for a second before she spoke, "You still like him?"

Meredith blushed; she wasn't expecting her to ask her this random question.

"Y..Yes."

"Hmm..then this would be the perfect time to seduce him! incase you fail and he fires you, I would find you a new job. I'm sure he wouldn't though. He was so possessive and jealous the last time at the bar."

"Seduce him?" Meredith asked, frowning with confusion.

"Yes, Merri. Seduce him. If you like him and he is not making the first move, you can make the first move!" Sofia replied with mischief thick in her voice.

"And how do you think I should do that?" Meredith questioned. It was crazy she was actually considering this.

"Flirt with other guys in front of him. Wear clothes that flatter your figure and show him what he is missing. Maintain eye contacts with him when talking to him. Don't worry when I come back I will start helping you to bring your inner bad bitch!"

Meredith chuckled, "I thought you hated my boss what happened?"

"Oh, I still don't like him, but it's rare to see a guy so possessive and jealous. I think that convinced me a little. But if he hurts youI will kill him myself don't worry."

"Hmm. I see."

"Yeah....so have you packed lingerie, swim suits and condoms?"

Meredith rolled her eyes, "No, we are going on a business trip not honeymoon."

"Oh, come on Merri. You might never know what would happen. At least take the lingerie and swim suits I bought you."

"No"

"Oh you have never worn it. I feel bad now." Sofia said her voice sulking.

"Okay fine!" Meredith finally gave in. It was hard to refuse Sofia.

"Yaayy. have fun and update me when you come back. Have a nice trip and have fun!"

"Okay, bye."

*******

Meredith stood in front of the company with her bag beside her. Atlas had messaged her that he would pick her in front of the company. She had to admit she was excited for the trip. She hoped she gets to meet Atlas not Mr. Martini her boss.

A car honk snapped her out of her thoughts. Meredith saw a Mercedes Benz in front of her. She had no idea what model it was since she had zero knowledge about cars but she knew the car was very expensive from the looks of it.

The driver got of the car to help her with her luggage and she thanked him politely.

Getting inside the car, she saw Atlas. His head was lowered as he read through some documents.

Nerves fluttered in her belly at the sight of him. He looked so handsome while he is concentrated. Meredith cleared her throat and greeted him, "Good morning, Sir."

Atlas looked up from the documents and placed it on his lap, "Good morning. Are you excited for the trip?" He asked, rolling his sleeves.

"I know I told you we are going for a charity gala but important investors would also be there. This is a list of the important people you should be paying attention to at the gala." He picked the document from his lap and handed it to her.

Their hands brushed against each other lightly as Meredith reached for the document. She felt an electric bolt shot through her at the brief contact.

Meredith sucked in a deep breath and quickly took the document while blushing. She lowered her head to prevent him from seeing the red on her face.

She flipped through the documents and realized it had some important peoples' profile. Meredith closed the documents and decided to look through on the fight after all it was going to be a long flight.

She felt Atlas's gaze were glued to her and when she looked up, her eyes bore into his.

She found herself in a trance as they stared at each other. Meredith noticed the familiar emotions fleeting in his eyes which she sees in Atlas's gaze and she speedily averted her gaze, blushing so hard she actually flushed. She fit his gaze still lingering on her but suddenly Meredith found him leaning over.

Her heart jumped in her heart and her palms suddenly became sweaty. His cologne hit her noise and a bolt of desire ran through her. He smelled so good.

Without saying anything, she felt him slide the belt into the grasp, hearing it click.

"Always wear your seat belt." He muttered, his breath tickling her ear.

Meredith nodded while the bitter flower of shame bloomed across her cheeks. She pressed her lips together and looked out the window to calm down her beating heart. This trip was going to be quite an adventure and she hoped she survived.
