Seducing My Crush To Be Mine

(Sophia's POV).

"Antonio, why didn't you marry when my father did and have me?"

I know it was a stupid question when I was a teenager that I still remember and this is one of the reasons why I still like him, and have forbidden feelings for him until now.

"Hmm, maybe because I'm waiting for you to grow up, Sophia. You're already beautiful this small, let alone when you grow up,” he replied while patting my head. “Ah, I'm joking. Your father will be mad at me if he knows. Don't tell him about this,” he added, whispering like he was playing with mini-me.

That's how his answer seems to have affected me until now. I kept that answer as my motivation and form to grow more beautiful for him.

Nowadays, I've been working as a secretary to the CEO, whose name I don't even know yet. Of course, I applied for this job on behalf of the general manager, who said that Mr. CEO doesn't want his employees to know his name until the CEO himself shows up if he wants to do so.

It didn't matter to me as long as I had a steady job, getting prettier as I got older until I couldn't wait to show Antonio my changes... My crush from my father's best friend.

Unfortunately, a few years after I started college and now working, Antonio returned to his native Brazil and hasn't been back to New York since. Although he and my father still keep in touch, I've been sad ever since, and I've even tried to refrain from finding out how he's doing, or from trying to text him or call him.

"Hey, sweetheart, you look pretty," my father greeted me and complimented me.

I smiled and sat on the dining table chair. "Thanks, Dad. I became beautiful because of someone, you know."

"And who might this guy be? Do I know him?"

I just nodded with a smile, but my heart was pounding just thinking about him. "Yes, but I won't tell you until I'm ready."

My father looked surprised and confused, frowning but not responding to my words anymore.

As I was eating breakfast, I suddenly thought of asking my father something about Antonio. I don't know why I felt the urge to ask, even though I usually never bring it up.

"Dad, how's Antonio going? Have you talked to him lately?" I asked, without sounding weird to him.

"I talked to him two days ago. He's going to move to New York, Sweetheart."

My heart was pounding, jumping out of place. I almost screamed in front of my father until I remembered that I shouldn't show this liking in front of him. Not right now.

"Oh, wow. It's a surprise then. Why did he finally move here? I thought he wouldn't."

"Well," my father suddenly smiled at me, which surprised me. "He has business here. He owns some properties and others here, Sweetheart."

I didn't know if he owned the business my father was talking about. But I was more curious about my father's behavior just now, so I asked, "Then why are you smiling like that, Dad?"

"Nothing, I'm just happy knowing he will reunite with me, sweetheart."

Even so, I still felt something was strange. It's just that I didn't want to ask more because I was already quite late getting to the office.

Arriving at the office, I started setting up everything and clearing my desk. Then suddenly there was a call from my desk.

"Sophia, the CEO wants to talk to you. I'll connect his call to you."

"Whoa... wait... The CEO? Why all of a sudden after a few months of work?!" I asked in surprise with my heart pounding.

"Because he's coming here in the next few hours, Sophia. So he wants to know everything about the office over the phone from you."

Before I could respond to the receptionist's response, I suddenly heard someone clearing his throat. It was a man. I swallowed and began to prepare myself.

"Hello, sir. I'm Sophia, your secretary."

"Hello, Sophia. Nice to hear your voice."

Suddenly my heart stopped for a few seconds, then pounded rapidly because I felt that this voice was not an ordinary voice. Who is this CEO actually? Why do I feel like I know him so well?

***

Decorating the office feels tiring. I don't know whose idea it was to welcome the CEO. Even when we were talking on the phone, the CEO told me not to go home even if the other employees had gone home. He said he wanted to hear all the information from me.

"I heard that this CEO is super handsome, hot, and of course unmarried at 40 years old!"

"I think we should dress up as beautiful and sexy as possible. Perhaps he'll be mesmerized by one of us."

I rolled my eyes as I heard several employees talking about this nameless CEO, a mysterious person who certainly intrigued me after hearing his voice.

I tried to focus on the laptop screen while practicing talking silently about the office and work information that I would later be told by this CEO.

But the more I practiced, the more I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. It was like meeting an old friend who had suddenly returned with a wonderful surprise.

I tried to breathe in and out. I finally made my way to the toilet to relieve my unusual anxiety.

I stare at the mirror in front of me, wash my hands, and tell myself that I can. It's not my first day on the job, but in fact, it's the first day I'm going to meet the CEO and get to know his name too.

Suddenly I heard the sound of a big welcome.

Oh my! Mr. CEO had come and I wasn't at my desk!

I walked out of the restroom and by the time the door to the CEO's office was closed, I could only see the back of it. Damn it!

"Sophia, Mr. The CEO is looking for you, you'd better go inside right away."

Without responding, I carried my documents and entered his room with my heart beating fast.

As soon as I knocked on the door, I walked in without looking at him first because I had to close the door.

And when I turned around, I was shocked to see who the CEO was. My lips were gaping open and I felt like I had butterflies in my stomach.

"Hello, Sophia. Finally, I can meet you in person."

My lips opened as I saw him and my heart pounding because I really saw him in front of me after a long time I had never met him anymore. He was real and the CEO of this company? Like... Seriously?

"Antonio... You still remember me?" I asked.

"You're my best friend's daughter, Sophia. Of course, I remember you."

I gulped down and didn't like that answer. I wanted to be known as Sophia who became an adult. I wanted him to see me because he was interested in me. Well, but I came closer to him and looked him in the eye.

"Can I hug you, Antonio?"

He spread his arms and I rushed to his embrace, smelled his scent so deep and said, "I've missed you, Antonio."

As I let go of his embrace, I looked up, right into his eyes with a sensual smile.

“Now, do you think I am pretty enough to grow as an adult?” I asked without hesitation.

Then he looked at me as if he was judging me. Just being looked at like this made my heart pound, I didn't know what if in the future me and him become one. That must be as beautiful as I wish.

“Well, you're stunning, Sophia. You're hot. I must admit.”

I smiled and said, “Thank you. I appreciate it,” with movements that came closer to him, as if I was teasing him.

“Sophia… What are you doing?” He asked, looking a bit weird.

“Just want to be close to you like we used to, Antonio. However, we've just met after a long time, haven't we?”

“Yeah, but—”

“Shhh… Don't talk. I want to hug you one more time.”

(Sophia's POV).

I'm still pounding from the effects of yesterday when seeing him actually in front of me with the way how I seduced him bravely.

It turned out he was the CEO of the company I work for. That was something so challenging to me.

Now, I was getting ready to go back to work but I was going to wear a sexy outfit, which I wanted to show him that I had become a mature woman just for him.

I stare at myself in the mirror, making sure there's no flaw in my appearance or makeup. Until I finally heard my father's voice shouting that breakfast was ready.

I went downstairs with my bag and instantly my steps stopped when I saw Antonio joining me at the dining table. My eyes flickered and my heart was obviously pounding.

"He's here," I hissed and thought back about yesterday's event.

I immediately cleared my throat and walked like a model while sitting in front of him. "Morning, Dad. Morning... Antonio," I greeted.

They greeted me at the same time, but Antonio smiled at me awkwardly. That handsome smile was so thrilling, it made the passion in me flutter.

I started my breakfast leisurely and luckily I had trained myself to keep my sitting posture and my eating elegant, so my father didn't assume that it was all made up because of Antonio. When in reality I did all of this a long time ago just for Antonio.

"Sophia, since you're my secretary and I'm here, you should go with me," Antonio said suddenly.

I was surprised but I was also happy. Then I looked at my father and he just nodded, allowing me.

"Fine, Boss."

They laughed and I let them laugh because later in the car, I would try to start flirting with her.

After Antonio and I left the house, I purposely didn't wear my seat belt until he finally noticed and looked at me.

"Sophia, wear your seat belt."

"I can't wear it and I'm not used to wearing it either," I replied lightly.

Then the car pulled over and he chuckled as he looked at me for a few seconds. That's when he started to move himself closer to me, buckling my seatbelt until I suddenly had an idea in my mind.

I kissed him on the cheek.

Antonio was startled and he looked at me without looking back. I just smiled at him while his expression was completely unreadable to me.

"What did you kiss me for, Sophia?" he asked.

I shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly as I replied, "I'm just doing what I used to do to you. Kissing you on the cheek every chance I get."

"But you're an adult now, Sophia. You don't need to do that anymore."

"Why not?" this time I brought my face closer until our noses touched.

Antonio looked calm and even too calm as I tried to tease him. He then returned to his position and started driving the car again. I was starting to feel a little annoyed by his overly calm expression.

"Don't do that again, Sophia," he suddenly piped up. "You're my best friend's daughter."

I didn't reply to him, just gave him a teasing smile until no one spoke between us until we reached the office.

When he and I were in the same elevator, I moved closer to him and he felt my movement without him doing anything. At that moment, I even deliberately unbuttoned the top button of my blouse, just to look sexy in front of his eyes.

"So, did you decide to come back here because of this company of yours and a few others, Antonio?" I asked, curious.

"Yes."

"Not because you want to see me grow into a woman?"

Antonio immediately looked at me with his forehead slightly furrowed. He then sighed and lowered his head closer to my face.

"What do you mean, Sophia?"

Just then, the elevator clanked and I got out first while smiling at him. As soon as I got to my desk, Antonio walked past me and he glanced at me.

A few hours passed, and finally, Antonio called my desk phone and told me to come inside his room because there were still some important things he wanted to ask about the company.

I prepared myself by putting on some sexy-smelling perfume and started walking into his room.

The moment our eyes met, I was already in love with him. Totally in love.

I moved closer to his side and he didn't resist at all as if he was allowing me to continue teasing him.

"This is a report you don't have yet, Antonio. You can ask me to explain or you can read it yourself," I said.

"I'll read it myself. Thank you."

But I didn't leave because I still wanted to be by his side. He noticed and looked at me while asking, "Do you have something to say, Sophia?"

"I want to chat with you. Have some time with you." I stroked his hand, daring myself to look like a slut only for him.

His green eyes followed the direction of my hand moving in his hand until he held my hand.

"Why were you so bold earlier? You're not the little Sophia I know."

"I'm not. I'm Sophia growing up for someone, you know."

And I started sitting on his lap just like that. He was surprised and kept looking at me until his expression turned tense.

"Sophia, you can't do this. This is not permitted."

"Who doesn't allow it? I'm an adult and I can decide what I want and what I don't."

My hands began to move again, taking hold of his tie and heading toward his visibly hardened jaw. "By the way how come you look so... hot at your age, Antonio? And you know what, I've missed you."

"Sophia..." I love the way he called my name although it sounded so tense. I felt like I was addicted to him.

I knew he liked my touch. Otherwise, he would have dismissed me. But this wasn't.

"What made you like this, Sophia? It's not right." He sounded like he was rejecting me, but I could still overcome his dilemma-like rejection.

I sighed, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Who do you think made me this way? Who said that you would wait for me to grow up for you to marry me?"
