The Encounter

Sebastian POV

I was driving when I spotted a lady on the street, who was drunk and walked unsteadily. Being a gentleman, I had to approach her.

I tried to communicate by asking her some questions, but because of the effects of alcohol on her, it was obvious that she could not understand me.

She did not show many signs of being in a bad condition. Quite the contrary, she was quite sexy.

I could not help but check her out from head to toe.

"Hey, you wanna come home with me?

I asked, to which she just landed her head on my shoulder, intoxicated.

I could not resist being flattered by the seductiveness of her flawless-looking skin, which emitted a subtle attraction.

Thus, I got to bring her to my car and start my journey. All the time, she was muttering

"I hate him! I hate them all."

I was completely clueless as to who she actually meant, and I really didn't care, either. Maybe she was struck by the loss of love.

It is a funny thing that people still fall in love in this century.

In my opinion, love is just a daydream. The real power stems from money and influence. Who would need other things?

Her blabbering persisted until we arrived at my house. I looked at the back seat and saw her there whispering to herself.'

I stepped out of the car, went to where she was, and brought her into the mansion.

"Boss, you are here."

A voice grabbed my attention. It was Annabel, my P.A.

Truthfully, I never liked her. Why did I even hire her in the first place?

I was more attracted to the sexy, dazzling kind, and she was nothing like that.

If it weren't for Darius, who forced me to do it... I needed Jack's help, and in return, he saddled me with his sister, like a burden. But screw it.

"What are you doing here, Annabel?"

I made it obvious in my tone that I was not happy to see her.

I saw her eyes moving toward the woman who was in a drunken state and whispering in my ear.

"Who is she, boss?"

I knew she would ask, but it is none of her business...

"That's not your business. I asked you why you're here."

"O-oh-o..."

Her stammering was hard to ignore. I knew she was attracted to my enigmatic stature and beauty. Still, she was well aware that I had no interest in her.

"I came to give you the files you requested for the ongoing project."

I had asked for those during work hours. She could have just given them to me at the office. Why wait for me at my mansion? Her old tactics would never work on me.

"Drop them on the couch and leave." My voice was clear enough to show her the door.

"Alright, boss."

She dropped the file on the couch, then grabbed her bag. I saw her eyes darting towards the lady on my shoulder. I knew she wanted to ask more questions.

Finally, she left my mansion. I took the lady upstairs to one of the guest rooms and helped her into bed.

As she gripped my polo, I noticed that she had some cunning eyes. Of course, I noticed those sparkling eyes.

Her lips seemed to be calling to mine. Who am I to refuse such beauty?

I leaned in for a kiss, half-expecting her to push me off, but it seemed she wanted it too. Our bodies intertwined. Only to wake up the following day, satiated

At my left, my eyes caught on her awake

But her reaction of though weird

I mean, we both enjoyed every bit of last night

So why are stun reactions

Am sure she just wanted a scene out of it all

Just like the rest, but yeah, I got no time for that

I had important things to deal with at work

I tossed some bundle of cash at her

Shotting her up as I left my mansion

Arriving at my company, The Knightbridge Global Enterprises.

One of the prospering companies

Saluted and greeted by the employer as I made my way into my office

I grasped through some paperwork and documents. My eyes were scanning through every inch of the papers as I signed some

My mind seems to hit me with thoughts of the strange girl I had a one night stand with...

"She was surely sexy and really was amazing last night. Sure would be bad to let such a lady go to waste

I mean, she must surely be of great use.

Mostly on bed...

But damn she would have surely left my mansion by now. But yeah, that's nothing, sure I can find her , now where is that my damn phone"

My eyes scanned around, my hand's scraping through my desk. Finally , I found it

Rafe Montoya, a great skilled private detective of mine

If surely i need somebody found, he his just the perfect man for it

I dialled his number, with some seconds gone as it rang

"Long time, boss."

I heard is fainting voice

"I have a job for you, Rafe Montoya."

"Sure boss, let me know , anything... " He responded

"I want you to find a girl for me," I asserted, my tone resolute. "I need her address, phone number, and all her social media handles."

"Alright, any video or picture of her would be surely helpful"

"Go to my mansion. They sure to give you a recorded copy of last night footage from the CCTV outside my mansion , I came in with her."

"That would be surely tricky, boss. "

"I will pay you any amount you want.. just list it."

"Offcourse boss, "

"But I want it today.."

"Sure."

I hanged up the call, Rafe Montoya, though good at his job, he his as cunning as greedy

But all I just need were results, i surely need to have a discussion with her. I can't let such a sexy and beautiful lady as her go to waste...

I released a sigh, my gaze returning to the files on my desk as I reviewed them. A sudden knock interrupted my focus.

"Come in," I called, halting my work.

It was Annabel—again. I couldn't help but wonder what she wanted this time.

"What do you want, Annabel?" I asked, trying to maintain my composure.

"The meeting is about to commence, boss. I wanted to remind you," she said.

I had to admit that this meeting was crucial for the future of the company. A discussion about our next steps would take place, and my presence was essential.

"Alright, Annabel, thanks for the reminder," I replied, my eyes drifting back to the files, only to find her still lingering at my doorway.

"You can go now, Annabel,"

I said, my tone firm and direct.

"Oh, yes. I just wanted to ask if you've gone through the project files, boss..." she continued.

Truth be told, I hadn't had a chance to review them. My mind had been preoccupied with thoughts of the enigmatic woman I'd recently encountered. Her captivating eyes and striking beauty were a distraction I couldn't seem to shake.

"I'll read them later," I replied, making my tone as clear as possible.

"Alright, boss,"

She said, but her feet remained rooted to the spot.

I could feel her gaze on me, and it made me uneasy.

"You may leave now, Annabel," I reiterated, hoping she would finally take the hint.

She nodded, "Alright, boss," and finally exited my office

With her gone, I could focus on preparing for the meeting. I needed to gather my thoughts and make sure I was ready for the discussions ahead.
