After seeing her off, Adam came back to his desk, sitting on his swiveling chair, he faced the floor to ceiling glass windows. He gazed outside, a smile threatening to bloom over his face. He breathed out a long sigh, shaking his head sideways slowly, he turned back to face his desk so that he could go through the files which needed his signatures. His gaze fell on Stella's resume once again, and he couldn't help but smile thinking of how she carried herself during the interview, how confident she was while answering his questions.
'I am looking forward to tomorrow.' He thought to himself and continued going through the files of different projects. Once he was done going through them, he buzzed Bella through the intercom asking her to bring his lunch to his office since it was already noon.
Bella delivered his from one of his favorite restaurants soon, he carried it to the bedroom located within his office at the left of his desk. He used it sometimes when he had to stay back at the company to work, or he finished off late and didn't want to drive. The room was fully furniture. Even the built-in wardrobe was full of clothes, both formal and casual wear. He removed his coat, hanging it properly on the coat hanger at the corner of the room. He freshened up quickly, returning back to the single sofa before which his lunch was placed on the small table.
After a bunch of tiring hours going through all that statistical data and contracts' details, he was famished, so he dug in hungrily.
During the entire meal, his mind kept drifting off to the little girl. He couldn't understand why, or what was happening to him. Though he hasn't had a girlfriend before but he has met girls before who were around his age, not once but many times, every single one of them pretty and beautiful, having curves in the right places. Many of them had swooned over him but he had always remained passive and always had kept his distance from them. None of them could even manage to capture his eyes let alone his attention.
But there was something different with that little elf which intrigued him, made him wanting to know more about her. There was something about her which intrigued him, attracted him towards her, specially those eyes, those hazel eyes which had their own light, their own glow. He liked the way they glittered in the pale light of his office. The way her lips curled upwards when she smiled thanking him, though it was a formal one, he still liked it.
"Sigh...!!! What is happening to me?" He exclaimed out loud to himself, running his hands through his hairs in frustration. He decided to go back to his house early since he didn't have anything left for the day to do, even if he had, it wasn't like he could have anyways since his mind kept running back to a certain someone.
Arriving at his place, he decided to do some workout to take his mind off from certain things. (Author: Or a certain someone? Hehehe)
He changed into his branded sportswear, which was in dark gray color. After heading to the gym, he busied himself in intense workout spending the next two hours within the same room. He was completely drenched in sweat when he was finally done with his rigorous workout. He headed back to his room. Once he was in the bathroom he got rid of his sweaty shirt, exposing his muscular upper body, on which any one could drool over.
He had a long relaxing cold shower washing down all his frustration of the entire day. After the long shower, his mind was not hazy anymore, making him feel a bit better. He still had some time left for dinner since it was only evening then. He decided to look through his mail, responding to them while delegating some of the works to the Vice President and some managers of different departments. Soon it was time for dinner. After dinner he decided to take off for the day and went to his bed. As soon as he closed his eyes, a pair of hazel eyes popped up, he found himself being drawn to them. He opened his eyes with a jerk, taking deep breaths.
"I am doomed." He thought out loud. After heaving out a long sigh, he decided to sleep, or at least try to.
The next day Adam woke early as usual, followed his usual boring routine, and finally reached his office. He was a bit early today, so there were less people around. Entering his office, he sat back in his chair, switching on his laptop. As soon as the clock struck nine there was a slight knock on the door followed by the clicking sound of heels.
"Good morning Sir. Miss Bella told me I could enter directly in your office after the knocking." In came an angelic voice, making him raise his head from his laptop. And as soon as he did, he scolded himself for doing so as he was once again awestruck completely by the sight before him.
She was wearing a black fitted jeans, paired with an off-white chiffon blouse which was tucked in, a golden chain belt around her waist supporting the jeans, paired with black heeled boots. Her dark brown hairs were tied up in a messy bun, leaving a few short strands out which fell on her small face, framing it beautifully. Golden loops were dangling from her ears which were neither too big nor too small. Finally he noticed those deep hazel eyes, those eyes which made him lose all his rationality.
"Umm... Sir?" She said interrupting his thoughts.
"Ehm.... You were saying something?", he replied.
"I said you don't mind it, right? I was just following what Miss Bella told me to." She asked him again.
"No. You don't have to ask me every time you enter. Just knock on the door. If I have some problem or am busy doing something, I will just ask you to wait for a minute or so." He replied masking his awestruck expressions with perfection. " Do you get it Stella?" He continued.
"Yes Sir!" she replied briefly.
"Have a seat, please, and tell about the day's schedule. Bella must have given it to you." He asked her politely with a faint smile.
"Yes Sir. You have a meeting with an important client at around 10 a.m. They have proposed a collaboration. I have the file related to it. Miss Bella gave it to me yesterday and I went through it at home. I have marked the important points which require your attention Sir." She replied with professionalism while he listened to her with full interest which was something he had never done before, not even to his last P.A.
Somehow, she reminded him of a spring breeze, fresh and soothing, calming down his nerves which were always tensed up.
