I'm Admired But He Is Feared

Chapter Twenty-Four

"I know the way you think Sofie"

"If you know me better than myself then you would know not to call me until I get home, goodbye" Before he can say anything I cut the phone off trying to catch my breath.

Looking sideways over to Mr Peace he is just looking straight ahead at the doors with his hands in his pocket with a blank look. This is awkward; maybe I should try talking to him. It would ease my mind a little and hopefully help me divert my attention away from Gerry.

"So Mr Peace, what were your parent's reactions when they found out about your business and stuff?" I ask randomly.

"You fucking idiot!" He yells out making me shriek in fear.

He now has his back towards me as he grips onto the metal handles with his body leaned down. What the hell did I do, what happened to him, shall I talk to him?

"M..Mr Peace, are you ok?" I'm about to touch his back when he turns around making me step back in fear.

He doesn't stop moving as well as me and I find myself pressed against the wall with him just a few inches away from my face. My heartbeat accelerates fast in my chest as I look at his burning brown eyes which are looking into my blue eyes.

"I didn't know you could scoop so low you piece of-"He cuts his word off by banging his hand on the wall beside me making me close my eyes in fear. I just asked him about his parent's reaction, what's so wrong about that? "Never, never have I ever met someone who could be levelling with you...do you know what you look like to me? You look like a dog which barks and nothing convenient comes out...ever! How about you stay out of people's life and don't ask fucked up questions?" I notice that the door's to the elevators open to reveal a couple of people standing outside.

They look at the position me and Mr Peace are in with wide eyes.

"Mr Peace th-"

"Just fucking shut up for a minute you worthless thing. Look at my fucking face Koenraad" I slowly look back at him to see he is now just an inch away from my face. I can smell is strong cologne and minty breath. I find myself looking down at his lips...he has nice lips, not too big and not too small, they weren't even dry which is surprisingly. "You are nothing but a piece of shit to me right now" He leans away from me and bangs his hand again before barging past the people.

Letting out a few breaths I try to control myself. I've never seen him so angry before, I must have touched a topic which he didn't like. The people who were standing there were looking at Mr Peace walk away as well as everybody else on the floor.

He was the spotlight of everything...he was the most appreciated yet most feared person- he is feared.

*************

This is going to be the best of the best. Having free time of my mind and inspiration is always key for me. I left some of my supplies from here beforehand so I decided to get a little creative. Today's events were very let's say...different yet fascinating.

It's not nice to get shouted at for trying to be nice, but it can definitely trigger something. I continue working on my masterpiece when I get a call from the phone. Oh God, who is it. Picking it up I speak in my most formal voice.

"Hello Miss Koenraad I would like to speak to Mr Peace urgently" He says as if dogs are after him.

Hum...dogs...I've been hearing that word a lot today.

"If you can just hold on I will pass you over once he picks up" The man thanks me as I put him on hold and dial Mr Peace's number.

Waiting for a minute he doesn't pick up so I call him again. After two attempts I'm tired of re-dialling his number. Where is he gone and why won't he pick up his phone? I should go to his office, that man did sound desperate.

Placing the phone back I quickly leave my office and head down to Mr Peace's. I knock on his door and wait for him to tell me to come in as usual. Suddenly I hear a loud crash and it sounded like glass as well.

He's not hurt is he? I start to worry so I open the door to see Mr Peace is standing with both of his hands against the wall. He looks over at me once I open the door. What catches my attention is the man that is behind him.

He has his hand on Mr Peace's shoulder with a sad look on his face. Who is this man because he actually looks a lot like Mr Peace...what if that's h-

"What the hell do you want Koenraad?!" He yells angrily at her.

He straightens up as the man takes his hand of Mr Peace's shoulder.

"There's a call for you and the man said it's urgent. You wouldn't pick up your phone so I decided to come down instead" I inform him with a loud whisper.

"You can piss off now" He heads towards the door and slams it in my face causing a few people to stare as they walk past.

What if that was Mr Peace's dad?
