Loving the CEO novel Chapter 6

Emily

Today was another boring day at the bookstore and I couldn't wait for my shift to end so I could go home and relax. Sitting at the cash register, I heard the familiar buzz. Buzzing the person in without looking up, I felt someone drilling a hole inside of me. Looking up, I saw it was the man who came to the store yesterday

"Is there a reason why you're staring at me?"

"Yes, I like what I see," he replied teasingly.

Blushing I waved off his remark, I asked, "what can I do for you today?"

"Well, I'm here to ask you on a date. So, would you go on a date with me?" He asks bluntly

"M-me go on a date with you?" I was surprised.

"Yes, why do you sound so surprised?"

"Well for one, we don't know each other as we just met yesterday and I don't know what you're like."

"Well, my name is Adam and I'm the CEO of Jacob's enterprise."

"Well nice to meet you Adam and is that supposed to impress me?" I asked while buzzing persons in.

"That wasn't the response I was expecting, I was expecting you to tell me your name." By now three people were waiting to be cashed and were complaining asking Adam to leave so they can get service, but he didn't even turn around to acknowledge their remarks.

"Adam, you're holding up the line, could you leave and come back."

"Do I look stupid?" He asked while chuckling. "You expect me to leave so you could give me the runaround. Your customers are waiting so I would like you to say yes so we can both get on with our lives."

"Fine, I will go on a date with you and my name is Emily. You can leave your number and I will get back to you."

"No, give me your number and I will text you."

Sighing deeply, before rolling my eyes I gave him my number and he took it and left without uttering a word of thanks.

I can't believe this; this guy asks me– no he didn't ask more like demands it while being a nuisance. You know the ones who bother you until they get what they want. Shaking my head, I returned my attention to the customers and apologized for the incident that had just occurred before I started cashing their item. Arriving at the last person, I greeted him politely and reached out my hand to take his item when I stopped midway. Looking him over, I saw that he seemed very familiar but I couldn't place where I knew him from.

"Have we met before I asked?"
