Seemingly Perverted Triple E boss

Aysel whispered to herself in utter nervousness because this was the first time the triple E boss had visited the company and she could not wake up earlier. 

The anxious lady walked towards the arcade and the loud unorganised tick sound of her black heels was audible enough to indicate that she was done for the day. 

"Come on. Come on!"

Pressing the elevator button she was getting impatient for its arrival, Aysel glanced at the end of the corridor thinking that whether she should take the stairs or not.

A drop tickled down from her hair strand and fell on the floor in a slow motion with a muffled cry, as Aysel averted her eyes steadily as if some shooting of a Korean drama was going on.

The door of the elevator opened and a figure emerged from those four composed walls, as Aysel gasped at the heavenly godly person who was standing in front of her; comparatively her disheveled state the smirking man had an utter sense in fashion.

"Oh, hi, Owen."

Aysel immediately greeted the man with a beaming smile on her face, something unsaid was dripping from her face_ perhaps admiration. 

The tall man pushed his specs from the tip of his nose and gave a sharp look as soon as he lifted his head. 

"Hello, miss Aysel."

His grim expressions immediately turned 180 degree and a smile appeared on his thin lips, curling up the corners as he analysed her messed up condition within a blink of an eye.

"I assume you are in a hurry. Got late today?"

Owen ogled at her from head to toe and calculated the possibilities which could make Aysel unaware of her appearance.

The lady was caught off guard but Owen's words brought her in the present and again she was flabbergasted. 

"Oh? Oooh, yeah, yeah."

She made an O shaped face and hurriedly stepped in the elevator while Owen was supposed to get out but changed his mind at the last moment. 

"Which floor?"

He questioned but then blurted out the answer himself. 

"Oh, right fifth floor."

Of course being the sales manager of the fifth floor department he sure knew that Aysel Saat was his junior employee.

Owen and Aysel stood by each other silently while he tried to steal a glance at her from the corner of the eyes. His tall silhouette was quite domineering as Aysel reached only up to his shoulder, Owen flung his hand out to reach for her shoulder but something stopped him.

"I can't believe I got late right on the big day."

Her whisper was audible enough in the silence hovering atmosphere which grew more awkward for Owen when he was trying to get closer to the lady.

"Don't worry about that, the CEO hadn't called for the staff of our floor yet."

Owen turned towards her and bent over tilting his head in a funny crooked posture, as he tried to soothe her throbbing nerves and anxiety. 

"So, technically you are saved."

His brief smile made Aysel skip a beat as soon as he turned towards her, the lady felt her ears fuming hot and heartbeat getting irregular with the loving aura around him.

"Calm down and first give yourself a check before coming to the working area."

Owen lunged towards her and finally held her by shoulders when he chirped to her while stitching a gaze with Aysel.

She aimlessly nodded once and then twice due to excitement as her face grew redder with each passing second, that Owen finally confirmed his hunch and heartiest wish without even saying anything.

'Oh gosh! She likes me.'

His hands apparently had a firm clasp on her shoulder but one could see his legs shivering while asking the lady out, though Aysel was so foolishly engrossed into recalling the words which played like a repeated film in her head.

"So, if...you are not doing anything tonight,"

Owen released her and stammered before he could blurt out the statement which was awaited by Aysel since don't know how long. 

"Can we check out together and go for coffee?"

After spitting out those words he lifted his head with a beating heart, assuming that Aysel would eventually reject him.

I mean why not, though Owen was the sales manager director and his rank was quite good but still he was known for keeping a long face and staying away from women; as his decent personality turned into a horrible rumour.

Whereas, Aysel Saat was the kind of woman every man would desire to have, gorgeous, brainy, outgoing, friendly and generous.

"Sure. Sure, why not."

To Owen's surprise Aysel was beaming with joy and imminently replied to his offer by accepting it, which caused a relieved expression in his face and the joy was evident. 

But perhaps the third party in the love triangle was confirmed now.

The elevator reached the destination with a ding sound and the door opened on the most unfortunate moment, the newly found couple was about to walk to hell because Lucifer was awaiting on the doorsteps! 

The elevator door parted its mouth upon the command of the devil boss, as Ekai Enzo was standing right in front of the door outside the elevator. Clad in a designer suit he looked no less than an eye feast, the man lifted his head up as the sharp dazzling orbs cast a brief look at Aysel.

The moment felt as if thousands of years passed in those few seconds, and a gush of cool breeze brushed Ekai' hair out of nowhere making Aysel weak in legs.

'Who is he? And why does he seem familiar?'

Sure enough she had never seen him and there was no chance that Ekai was on the internet because the man preferred a low key profile.

The triple E boss faked a cough upon witnessing Aysel's intent gaze which made him uncomfortable in the presence of other staff, which was standing a few steps behind him totally frozen in their places out of fright.

"Good morning, boss."

Owen immediately bowed obediently presenting his loyalty to the boss, as he greeted him wearing a professional smile taking advantage of the opportunity. 

Ekai Enzo Enrique glanced at him with no expression on his face as if nothing in the world could have bothered him, then shifted his gaze towards Aysel Saat who was flabbergasted by his good looks.

Though it was quite unusual for anyone to daringly raise his or her head in front of Ekai let alone bravely stare at him like Aysek did. Thus, the whole staff was in a daze to witness their cold boss, who was already in a bad mood, doing nothing against the woman's bravery! 

Ekai Enzo stepped into the elevator and stood besides her while the other staff including Owen froze themselves in the front with their heads becoming immovable. Whereas Aysel Saat was totally embarrassed by her uncontrollable eyes which led her got ashamed in front of her boss.

'Argh! Come on, Aysel. What just happened to you?'

She mumbled to herself within heart not knowing that her expressions evidently showed the inner trouble. Aysel Saat had no knowledge that Ekai was already stealing a glance at her through the corner of his eyes.

The lady bit the corner of her lower lip questioning the sudden impulsive feeling within her heart, as if the mere pumping organ would jump out of her chest any time soon.

'Gosh! How can you become enchanted by his good looks? Remember, rich guys are good for nothing.'

Aysel reminded herself and covered half of her face with the right hand in order to hide the embarrassed and flushed face. Though Ekai was able to sense her agitation through the lady's body language which became restless soon after his emergence. 

'So, here she is.'

The cold man who had never felt himself burdened unknowingly found his heart clenching, as if something had pierced through his heart opening an old wound.

'Finally we met, Aysel Saat. After all these years, for the sake of old times.' 

Wait, what?

Ekai inhaled sharply knowing that he needed to let things go but perhaps despite burying his heart within tons of mud, he was unable to forget certain things which once made him happy and brought the man to life!

Everyone in the elevator was holding their breaths suspecting that the terrifying boss might punish them for making unnecessary noise! 

Ekai clenched his fists and let his eyes wander around to distract himself from the idea that he was breathing in the same with Aysel, but perhaps nothing worked to satiate his heart and desire to touch her and to see her face once more.

Whereas, Aysel was barely able to tame her heart which was unnaturally pounding for a man she just met. But hereby I ask you, was it anything like that?

Ekai groaned inwardly and averted his eyes towards Aysel who was standing restless, the irregular tapping of her left foot indicated her heart's content.

'Heh! She won't say anything even now.'

Her troublesome condition made him chuckle softly which was of course an inwardly gesture, after all he could not ruin his notoriously cold image.

The atmosphere within those composed four walls grew awkward with each passing second, sometimes bursting out and accepting the emotions makes everything clear. But undoubtedly both were under an unknown sensational influence, struggling with the new emotion they both felt in that moment. 

It was familiarity of love yet something strange, another entity was also mixed in the potion of cupid's love! 

'I can't take it anymore, now that she is right here in front of me I should give her a few hints to help her write.'

Well, perhaps he knew that she was the author of webtoon 'Abducting the mafia romance author'. 

Of course, why else would he stalk her every day and night, impatiently wait for her to update the chapters and to buy them anonymously. The triple E boss knew her beforehand and perhaps very well.

Were they connected somehow? Did they meet earlier or was the current meeting, their first? It seemed their reactions held a mystery around them to unveil.

'She does not remember me anymore, it was evident from her reaction.'

Ekai was determined to do something unusual from his regular, signature deeds. Undoubtedly something big was about to happen, as the atmosphere within the elevator became chilled all of a sudden.

Aysel Saat took a sneak peak at him and gulped down, as her  flushed reddened face radiated heat quite contrasting to Ekai's cold appearance. 

'Fuck! When this elevator will reach the floor, I want to get off.'

She cursed herself for getting late on that very day, which set up her meeting with the big boss.

Quite an unfortunate day!

Or perhaps not.

Maybe the stars had aligned themselves according to Ekai's wishes and were giving him a chance to hit on the woman, once again!

Aysel glanced at the numbers going up with every passing minute, the soaring building felt like a never ending tower. While Ekai was clearly noticing her growing awkwardness, though Aysel did not seem to comprehend any reason for feeling that way.

The rich CEO took a step closer towards Aysel, who was taken aback and reflexively took a step behind. But immediately regretted her decision which could put her job at stake, not knowing that she was an exception since the beginning of her recruitment. 

'Fuck! S- stop Aysel.'

The lady in a dazed condition gasped loudly which made other staff members to inhale sharply and an audible noise echoed in unison, sure enough everyone was afraid to turn their heads back to see what was happening. 

But every single employee was aware of one fact that the CEO was not a pervert, neither a sadist nor an evil man who would molest women. 

Ekai took one more step closer and stealthily covered the visible distance between them, wearing a smug expression on his handsome face which emphasized his chiseled jaw. Aysel Saat blankly stared at him with her popping out, well that unexpected for her to see the big boss approaching her. 

The lady thought to shout but for some reason nothing left her lips as if her heart had already surrendered under Ekai's heated gaze.

The man lunged forward and flung his arm out which collided with the elevator wall, making every other soul present there to jump in their places. Small hair stood up on their bodies upon the sound as everyone shuddered, though no one had the temerity to look behind to have a sneak peak of the scenario. 

Ekai covered the few inches which were left between them as Aysel found herself melting under hjs tranquilizing stare which penetrated through her soul, the CEO lifted her chin with a lopsided grin and stitched an eye contact with her.
