Her Pov:
The next 2 days went by smoothly. Sir didn't come to the office and my embarrassment lessened.
I joined the job on Wednesday. Today is Saturday. So, tomorrow is eventually my day off. I started my day happily. I had breakfast with Ella. And we both planned to have some fun and go to places on our day off.
I got ready for the work after that. I wore a tight skirt that reached just above my knees and a white top with white sneakers. I couldn't go on with the heels anymore. I kept my long, wavy hair open and wore just mascara and a lip tint and rushed off to the work.
To my surprise, Gabrielle wasn't there. And to my utter surprise, I got a call in the teleline. So I took it and it was from sir .
" Come in the room," he said and cut off the call. Wait, is he here!!
I knocked at the door and asked if I could come in .. He permitted, so I got in and asked him what he had called me for.
"Gabrielle took sick leave . She asked for 3 days using her holidays.. So you have to take over her position and work for me. "He said with a straight face.
" Owh OK, sir."
He tilted his towards my notebook, and I opened the notebook and started to note.
" You got 3 tasks. First, get me an espresso. Secondly, u gotta arrange my schedule. And lastly the 70th anniversary of this company is the day after tomorrow it has to be grand. You are gonna lead it and work with me on it. "
I gasped. " But sir, how is it possible only in a day?!" We got 2 days, Liana. Today and tomorrow. " he replied. Even before I could tell, it slipped out my mouth that tomorrow is Sunday.
He frowned. " So you can't work?"
" No no sir I can.. I will try my best." I replied, and with that, I took my leave. At first I went to the coffee machine and it's not working.
Huh.. Today seems to get worse with each moment passing. I made an espresso myself as I worked at a coffee shop. I was good at these. With that, I took it to him and served it to him.
He just told me to keep it on the table, and with that, I prepared his schedule for the day, and when I submitted that to him, the cup was empty.
I took it and just when I would open the door he said "Coffee was good ".
I smiled and said thanks. With that, he gave me a list of people I need to meet and contact to have this show go on successfully.
I went to the managing team at the 2nd floor and they gave me a lot of samples for like theme hall choosing people to invite media houses and also other things and handed me like 10 to 12 files at once. I was going up and then I got the call from the food caterer.
I was talking to him on the phone and was walking fast and suddenly I walked to a wall of muscles.
The files fell from my hand, and a strong hand held my waist firmly to save me from falling. While his other his holding my hand in a grip for my phone to not fall as well, I guess. At the same time, my other hand wrapped around his neck on instinct.
And in that moment, I could feel my heart beating rapidly like thunders. I could hear my own heartbeats in my own ears. He made me stand straight.
"You OK?" He asked me in his same deep dark tone.
" Um yes sir I am sorry. Let me just clean the files up.. Um, you are still.. "
With that, I looked at his hand that was still holding my hand in a tight grip. He left my hand.
" Thanks, sir. I .. I was taking these files to you. Could you choose some from them for the managing team to manage the event?"
" Sure, " he replied.
We headed to his office, and I took a seat and placed the files on the table. I was taken a little aback with him, taking a seat next to me .
And he all but dragged the chair near to me, looking at the files.
" Yes, show me the samples."
I let out a nervous breath out and started to show him the samples .
His gaze is fixed at the samples while I can't stop myself from looking at him from time to time. He's so close. Only a mere inches apart. He smells so masculine .He smells like wild flowers.
What the fuck am I thinking!!! I tried to focus back at work. Just when I was turning my face to the files, he looked back at me. And I felt shivers under his penetrating grey eyes.
He's a beautiful man, but he makes me so nervous for some reason.. He moved his eyes slowly from my eyes to my lips, and due to my heart thundering, I removed my eyes from him.
" So sir, this is all?"
He hummed. I rushed off from the room. The tension was so thick in the room. I almost felt my breathing get hitched. I never had any boyfriend in my life. I was taken to an orphanage at the age of 12. I got out of it at the age of 18. And since then, I have been only trying to get my life on track.
Working several part-time jobs and also studying.. I never got so damn close to a guy and have such solid eye contact. IT was crazy for me.. I tried to keep myself calm and spent the rest of the day at work relentlessly working.
The next day, I wore a floral white and pink summer dress and white sneakers. I put on blush and mascara. I wore a white bow in my hair. And reached to the office at 10 am.
The whole office was empty. I went to the 2nd floor and even the managing team wasn't there. I went to the 7th floor and knocked at sirs room.
" Come in."
I got in, and I felt my breath get stuck in my throat. He was looking as handsome as ever...
HIS OUTFIT
I saw him in casual for the first time, and it suited him really well.
" Ready to set off to the venue??" He asked me.
What venue. Seeing my confused face, he told me to follow him, and we got into the elevator. We got downstairs he had a sportscar there. He got into his seat. Oh, such a gentleman!!!! I got into the passenger seat, and he drove off.
" Sir, where are we going?" I shouted as we couldn't hear due to the speed of the car.
"You'll see," he replied calmly.
Um, where's he even taking me?! It looks like we are going out of the city.. But wait, the hall was in the city, right!!!!?
Her Pov:Where are we even going?? We have already crossed the city border. What's going on?!!! The car pulled over near the sea beach. What are we even doing here? I looked at Mr Edward, and his face was not giving anything, especially with sunglasses. We walked through the beach. Thank god I wore Snickers today.We reached the sea.He gets on the boat near the shore and stretches his hand toward me. " Get on." Um... I take his hand, and he holds my hand. Just as I am about to get on; the boat shakes badly, and I end up putting my arm around his neck for the 2nd time in a row. Definitely because of my weight, it shook. I m freaking 53 kgs!!!" Sorry, sir." " It's ok," he replied with. Wait, is that a smirk on his face???! He helped me stand straight, and then we headed towards the unknown. What's happening is he gonna dump me in the sea? I don't even know. After almost 15 minutes, we got close to a huge ship. He helped me to get up on the ship first, and then he got on it. Get
Her Pov:The party, as it's official, was held in the daytime from 12 pm to 4 pm. I was sitting tensely at 11 am, being all stressed that I didn't have anything to wear. And there was a knock. I opened the door." Boss sent this for you."A guy handed me over a packet and left just right after.I opened the bag and a fucking royal wine toned gown cane out. No fucking way I am gonna wear this is way too much definition of way too much. I called Edward." Um, sir, I mean Edward, I can't wear this. it's too much for a cruise party. Something simple would do much better." " It doesn't matter if it is too much I guarantee you people will be more over the top than you. So just wear it". With that, he cut off the call." What's this crap! "I said in frustration. But I need this job so if wearing a dress saves it I am more than happy to do it.And within a while I put on the dress. And it's just perfect. It's so beautiful I have never worn something like this in my life. I have a very curvy
Her Pov: I am taking this day off. After the kiss, I don't know how to encounter him again. It was my fucking first kiss. What if it was only causal to him? What if he doesn't feel anything about it? I didn't want to meet him so soon at work, so I took a sick leave, saying I had a fever. Ella asked me several times what happened, but I couldn't tell her. I didn't know myself. I was watching the TV, and the Titanic was on when they were kissing. I let out a frustrated sigh. I see myself and Edward in them. Just when I was about to change the channel, Edward called me. I saw it right after but took the call after a few rings. " Hey, how are u, Lia? How's your fever?" " I am getting better, sir. Don't worry please". It seems like he was taken aback for a second. " Do you need any type of medicine? " I denied it and assured him I had medicines. It was true I had the medicines at home, but just not the sickness or the fever! I spent the rest of New Year napping, sleeping, watch
Her pov:"What are you talking about, El?? Russian Mafia??" She just nods with a frustrated expression on her face. " But he has to be Russian for that, right? He doesn't have any accent when he speaks English.. You are not mistaking are you?" I ask her, hoping that she's wrong. " He's Russian Lia. He doesn't have any accent cause his mother was from the US, and his dad was Russian. " Ella says. "Wait, how do you know so much about him?" I asked. " I work in the club, right? I heard all these in there. Though they all could be rumours, he's dangerous for you, Lia. Also, he's a playboy. I heard that he slept with a lot of women, but he never got into a relationship. " Ella puts a hand on my shoulder. " I am concerned for you, lia. Don't get yourself in any trouble, okay?" I just nodded, holding her hand, assuring her that I won't get myself into trouble. Later, we had our dinner together, and I checked her fever again. Well, it seems like she's getting better. And we both go to o
Her pov:The loud ringing of my phone woke me up.. It must have been ringing for a long time for making a sleepyhead like me to wake up.I tried to search for it without opening my eyes.. Not finding it, I let out a sound of frustration and sit up, opening my eyes.The phone is ringing on the mat of my room.. I pick it up with a frown on my face only to find out an unknown number calling me.I picked up the phone and to my utter surprise it was the call from Amigos Taquerias, the famous company I gave an interview at ...I got the freaking job.Though it's a job for the post of thee assistant of the boss it's a big deal for me cause I don't have any special degree. Specially for a famous company like this.. If not this, I don't know what could be a better start of the first day of the year than this.I guess 2024 is my year. I thanked the women on the phone and all but ran to the other room.. The door was already open.Ella was seeing something on her phone."El, guess what?" "What ha
