Chapter 1_ Gray Beautiful eyes.

LEILANI'S POV:

I dropped my bag on top of my desk and walk off to get Mr Black's coffee. After making the coffee I walk straight to Mr Black's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in." I heard him say from the inside. I took in a deep breath and look down at my dress to see if it was out of place, after making sure that I look good, I pushed the door open and stepped inside then close it behind me.

"Good morning, Sir." I greeted him and carefully dropped the cup of coffee before him. I looked up at him through my lashes and found out that he wasn't even paying attention to me. He looked good. 

The sleeves of his shirt were rolled up to his ankles, he wasn't wearing a tie. The first two bottons of his shirt were undone.

I gulped and looked down at the coffee on the desk then back at him.

"Sir, your coffee." I said calmly.

I'm not sure if he even heard me. He was holding a newspaper in his hand and he was so engrossed in it. I raised myself up and smiled.

"Sir, the meeting with Winchester Corporation will be starting in fifteen minutes." I said softly. He finally dropped the newspaper on the mahogany desk and looked up at me then back at his wristwatch.

He stood up from his chair and grabbed hold of his tie that was placed on his desk. He buttoned up his shirt and started doing his tie.

I watched as he wore his tie effortlessly and picked up the cup of coffee from the desk. He took a sip of the coffee and brought out his phone from his pants pocket.

"Stop staring at me and get ready for the meeting." He said, hearing his husky voice my heart did a huge flip. He knew that I was staring….he knew all along.

I just couldn't help feeling this way anytime he talk to me.

"Yes, Sir." I responded and turned around to leave the office.

"Miss Carter." He called and I quickly turned around to look at him. His gray eyes lingered on mine for sometimes before he looked down at the cup of coffee in his hand.

"Get going." He uttered. I nodded and quickly walk out of the office.

It is crazy, for a minute I believed that he wanted to say something else. But what did I expect him to say to me exactly?

Miss Carter, you look good? Leilani, you're beautiful?

I must be wishing too much then.

I walk behind my desk and brought out a file that I've been studying all night from my bag. I sat down on my chair and quickly went through the file one last time.

This deal is a big one and I can't afford to make a single mistake off it.

I've been helping him secure deals for five years now, helping him with works, projects, deals, meetings.

This one shouldn't be a problem. 

The least I can do for a man that I love is helping him achieve his dreams silently.

Mr Black walk out of his office and I looked up at him and stood up as well, with the file in my hand and my iPod, I followed him to the elevator.

We both step inside his private elevator and I pressed in the 30th floor number.

                 ****

I passed across the necessary files to both Mr Black and the president of Winchester Corporation.

Mr Black bring up the file to his face, I watch as he scan through the file in a matter of minutes.

In the business world he was know as a genius. For him, things are based on logic.

His judgements were always logical…. still are.

I watch him silently from where I was sitting, his mouth twitched into a cold smile. That smile that makes me lose my sense of reasoning. That smile that still cause my heart to race.

Oh fuck me, He has ruin me.

I remember my first meeting with him, it was the most embarrassing day of my life.

5 YEARS AGO…

I locked my door and straightened my wig then glanced at my reflection on my phone screen.

Oh shit, first day at work and I'm already late.

I got inside the elevator and pressed the last floor number. I got to the parking lot and unlocked the door of my old mustang GT.

I've been driving it for three years, originally my Dad's.

The hood up on the way added to my anxiety. I just couldn't fathom how Mr Black will feel when I get to work.

He is a cruel, ruthless and logical man. If rumors were to be believed.

I parked my car at the company's parking lot and jumped out of it then rushed inside the company. My stiletto wasn't helping the manner and I resisted the urge to yank it off my feet and start running.

I successfully got up to Mr Black's office and met Aria, the old secretary behind her desk. She was to stay a few days teaching me all I needed to know as Mr Black's secretary.

She shot me a glare and shook her head. "You're late, Mr Black want you in his office as soon as you arrive." She said.

I clutched my handbag tightly in my hand and walk over to his office door. I knocked on the door and I heard a grunted response.

I took in a deep breath and pushed the door open then step inside the office. I walk deeper into the huge office, my eyes taking in all the decorations and couch, including the plagues and awards used in decorating the office.

It was magnificent.

Behind a huge mahogany desk was Mr Black. Before then I haven't meet him physically.

My interview was conducted by Aria, so standing in front of him was...I felt overwhelmed.

I stared at the huge, broad shoulder and very muscled man infront of me. His gray beautiful eyes looked up at me when I wasn't saying anything.

He raised an eyebrow and placed his phone on the desk.

"You are Leilani Carter, I assume." He said, I was too engrossed with looking at him to even form a word.

"Miss Carter." He called. I snapped out of my trance and blushed profusely.

I was drooling over my boss.

"Sorry Sir," I muttered.

He sighed and stood up from his chair, his length surprised me. I had to step a couple of foots back before I could see his face.

"I know that I look good Miss Carter, but you're here to work. Not to drool over me." He deadpanned.

That day was obviously the most embarrassing day of my life.

PRESENT…

I stared at him as he started discussing the business with Winchester Corporation. Suddenly I felt a heavy weight on my chest.

I know that I'm not someone of importance to him. I'm just his secretary.

But I wish, I've always wished that he'll see me as someone else other than his hardworking secretary.

I've always waited and still waiting for that day when he will see me as a woman.

Love, Promise.
