***
Two souls were prophesied to meet and fall in love. They were made for each other, chosen by the moon goddess to complete each other. But what would happen when something threatens to break them apart? Do you think a love predestined by a deity will prevail?

Lara looked up and she froze when her eyes came in contact with the bluest eyes she had ever seen.

"You are...?" He asked.

Lara caught her breath and froze up. She can't answer him!

She already knew the CEO was ridiculously handsome. But she didn't think he was this handsome! He already asked her a question but all she could think of was... Noah James Smith looked intimidatingly beautiful in his company photo but in person, he's more than that. His photo didn't do him any justice!

He was devilishly handsome, and very intense too. His electric blue eyes looked like they could see into her soul if he wanted to. And she was melting like ice-cream in front of him.

Noah looked at the woman who just entered his office and his eye zeroed in on her. She looks like a dear in headlights. Her lips were gaping and she looked stunned after seeing his face.

Did she hear what I said? He thought inwardly as he stood up and walked around his desk.

"Who are you?" he asked again, and that got Lara out of her trance.

"Oh! Uhm. I-uhh. I-I'm nobody..." She replied after struggling for words. Then she remembered what she came there to do and approached his desk. "Actually, I came here to deliver this…"

Noah casually sat on his desk and crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes watching her as she squirmed under his gaze, holding the envelop close to her chest as she awkwardly approached him and his desk.

"I'm... I'm going to put this here for you, sir..." she said and placed the brown envelope just beside where he sat and then backed away like she'd been burned by his presence. She couldn't even look him in the eye.

Noah glanced at the envelope then backed at Lara who was now awkwardly playing with her fingers.

"I'll be going now, sir. I'm sorry for disturbing you-"

"You haven't answered my question yet." he stopped her and she froze again.

"P-pardon?"

"What's your name?"

"I-uhh..." Lara started to panic. Is he going to fire me?

Noah looked at her ID. "Looking at your ID from this distance, it seems that you're one of my employees."

"Ah yes, I'm-" She bit her lip and deflated like a balloon. Will I get reprimanded if he discovers I'm just a newbie?

"Why did you stop? Is it really hard for you to tell me your name?"

Lara immediately shook her head. "N-no. No, sir. I just- uhh. I find you intimidating…" she unconsciously said and gasped. What did I just say?

Noah didn't respond but the corner of his lips turned up for a second there before it vanished as soon as it appeared.

"I see..."

[Time Skip]

Noah looked outside, staring aimlessly at the bright city lights outside his window while twirling his drink in his hands. His mind was deep in thought. And it was mostly about the fact that he had found his mate.

He's been waiting for her to appear in his life ever since he reached adulthood. And now that she's here, he couldn't stop his urge to possess her. Claim her as his.

When their eyes met for the first time, he immediately felt the pull between them. He wanted her the instant he laid his eyes on her and she was a new employee in his company.

"Lara Louis…" Noah murmured her name and he couldn't help but think about her eyes. Her expressive auburn eyes that was hidden underneath her glasses.
