Azriel had a pleased look on his face as he watched his beloved slam the door against 2 waitresses clearly trying to flirt with him. Not wanting to anger his beautiful goddess, he just ignored the ladies till Nesryn got enough of it and dealt with it herself.
Mr. Angelo, CEO and business partner of Azriel stared at the scene in amusement, not uttering a single word to agitate the irritated secretary of his best friend. 'Women are truly scary' he thought to himself as Nesryn pulled out her phone and contacted someone.
The two men in the room stayed quiet listening into the conversation between her and the other person on the line.
"Yes hello, Mr. Laurent, my boss would appreciate it if the servers you're sending to us are not flirting with my boss….yes, do something about the matter….
Men would be fine...yes, everything is to our liking, just not the female servers….yes...thank you very much" she hung up the call and turned to face the two gentlemen in the room with an angelic smile, as if the event's earlier didn't happen.
Azriel raised an eyebrow to her direction but she just shrugged it off and sat down beside him. Angelo could see that a conversation was being said between the two, even though no one was saying a thing.
He observed how his friend acted towards the secretary and it confirmed what speculations he had in mind. The door opened and Angelo's secretary came in, returning from the restroom.
The two weren't even fazed and continued staring at each other. Angelo pulled out a chair for her and she leaned in to her boss.
"What's happening?" she whispered, Angelo shrugged but leaned in also "Looks like he found his woman" he whispered back, the two turned their attention on the other pair in front of them.
Their staring contest was broken off when the door slid open, revealing male servers with food trolleys in front.
They silently placed the dishes in front of them and left after bowing their heads. Azriel picked out several meat dishes and put it on Nesryn's plate first while she scooped some salad on his plate.
The two CEOs talked over lunch while their secretaries wrote as much as possible while eating.
Nesryn and Azriel went back to the company at around 1:30 pm, Azriel's next schedule is already 20 minutes away. Nesryn dropped off her notes from the previous meeting and picked up the folder for their next meeting.
She went inside Azriel's office, not seeing him on his desk, she went to the bathroom where she saw Azriel, leaning on the counter, gulping down a bottle of water.
She walked closer, Azriel looked out of the window and saw no one there, he hooked an arm around her waist and pulled her closer before kissing her. Nesryn was adamant to push him away since they are in the office but Azriel just tightened his grip on her, she had no choice but to give up.
The two pulled back a few seconds later panting heavily, they stared at each other's eyes, drowning in the love that portrayed in the orbs.
Nesryn's phone buzzed and that took them out of their bubble. She carefully removed Azriel's hand on her waist and glanced to the window to make sure that they were still alone.
She pulled out her phone to see her alarm going off "Your next meeting is in 10 minutes" she silently informed him. He capped the bottle and threw the empty plastic away. They both walked back to his desk and Nesryn handed him the folder about the meeting.
"Since it's the end of the year, we won't be having any product launch, but one of our subsidiary toy company will be releasing its brand new toys just in time for Christmas shopping and they are the ones that you'll be meeting in 10 minutes, opinions are needed" he nodded at her words before putting on his glasses and reading through the files.
After reading the entirety of the folder, Nesryn led him to the elevator and they went to the meeting room. Everybody stood up and bowed their heads once the door opened, revealing Azriel in his usual matte gray suit. He sat down and gestured for others to sit as well.
Nesryn helped him with his coat, draping it over his chair then sitting down by his right side. Everyone waited for Azriel's command to start, he made sure that she was comfortable first before returning his gaze to the man standing in front of everybody and nodded his head.
The room instantly darkened and the meeting/presentation started and just as Nesryn expected the meeting ended around 3 pm with Azriel cutting straight to the point and demanding the presenters not to waste anymore time.
In the end, a few debates went into place but both the secretary and boss just stayed quiet observing the things in the meeting hall.
Once everyone settled down, they looked around the room and paled when they saw Azriel rubbing his temples, his face showing he was having a headache.
"Excuse me" he lowly said before standing up and leaving the room. Everybody watched the over 6 foot man open the door and close it with a loud bang.
They turned their attention to his secretary, who also stood up, grabbing his coat from the chair "The president has read the proposal before coming earlier and only had one question" she started, staring at the room filled with men in their early 30s and late 40s.
"Are you confident that your product will sell on the market?"
With that said, Nesryn left the room with a polite bow, leaving all men behind to ponder her words, or in this case their president's words.
Nesryn followed her instincts and boarded the elevator back to her boss's office, she placed the folders on her desk before walking to a secluded part and opening the door revealing a flight of stairs.
She climbed the stairs to the very top, she opened the door and was pleased to see Azriel standing in the garden on the very top of the building.
She silently walked to his side before putting his coat on his shoulders "You should never leave your coat if you're planning to go here, it's cold" she muttered and leaned in on the railings.
"I am sorry for leaving you there just like that, they started getting on my nerves and I don't want to release my anger on them" he silently murmured, putting an arm around her waist, pulling her closer to his side.
The two watched in contented silence the bustling city below them. Nesryn let Azriel hug her, knowing it would calm his boss down.
"How about we go home early today? I'll move your schedules at another time" she suggested, looking up at the tall man beside her. Azriel shifted his gaze back to her, a soft smile etched on his face.
He leaned in and gave her a quick peck on the lips "Let me take you out for dinner tonight?" he half-asked half-stated. "How about I cook something and we both stay home for dinner?" she offered and he nodded.
They stayed silent, Nesryn content to be in his arms.
It only took them a couple more minutes before they decided to head back inside. Azriel fixed his things and so did Nesryn. She informed Attendant Yun that Azriel wasn't feeling well and they will be going home. The man assured him that he will handle everything in the company.
They boarded the elevator and greeted some of the employees they passed by before going in the car and drove back home. The butler immediately greeted his master with some of the maids. Nesryn flashed them a smile before following Azriel to their wing. "I'll just change my clothes," she informed the man before going into her room.
Nesryn quickly changed out of her office wear into her usual sweatshirt and pants combo, she quickly made her hair into a messy bun before opening her door, face to face with Azriel.
He rubbed the back of his neck "Do...do you want to cuddle?" he asked and she stared at him, before his words sunk in her brain.
She slowly nodded and widened the gap of the door and invited him in. Nesryn closed the door behind him before laying down on her bed, she lifted the covers, inviting the man.
With a blush slightly colorin his face he went in the blanket, instantly wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her closer.
He buried his head on the crook of her neck, inhaling her soothing scent. The two eventually fell asleep cuddled in each other's arms. Two hours later, a knock on the door disturb the peaceful silence.
"Miss Nesryn?" The family butler called out, when he didn't receive an answer he opened the door and found the two asleep, buried under the blankets.
He walked closer and Nesryn stirred awake, she first noticed the handsome face in front of her then the looming silhouette over them.
Her eyes went wide upon seeing someone in her room but she relaxed upon recognizing the man "The master told me that you would be cooking dinner for the two of you?" he asked and she nodded.
"What time is it?" she asked, sitting up and stretching her body. "6 pm Miss". Nesryn nodded and lightly shook Azriel "I am gonna start preparing for dinner" she whispered to the man before climbing over him and out of the bed.
The butler bowed his head and left the two alone. Nesryn went to her builtin powder room to fix herself up, not noticing the man walking towards her groggily.
Azriel's arms sneaked around her waist startling her, she lifted her head and saw Azriel, his chin on her shoulder. Nesryn's alert eyes turned soft, she reached behind her and ran her hand on his long hair.
He let out a sigh and relaxed in her touch. The two stayed like that for a few minutes before Nesryn broke the silence, saying she had to go.
He hesitantly let her go but he intertwined his hand with hers, before dragging her out her room and into the kitchen. He sat down in front of the counter and watched her. Nesryn cooked dinner in silence and Azriel just sat there, watching her every move.
They ate dinner in silence when Azriel suddenly thought of an idea. "Nesryn let's go skating" swallowing the last bit of food on his plate. Nesryn raised an eyebrow at his direction "That came out of nowhere" she muttered and slowly nodded, giving in to Azriel's puppy dog eyes.
After dinner Azriel reminded Nesryn to 'bundle up' and they left with Azriel driving to the nearest ice skating rink. He was the one who registered the two of them and they rented the entire place till its closing time.
Azriel also threatened to but the rink if they don't allow them to rent it for themselves, luckily Nesryn stopped him before that happened and the management eventually agreed to close the place down for the night.
A staff led them to the back office where they could choose their skates, after wearing them and finishing their preparations, Azriel was the first one on the ice, skating easily. Nesryn stepped in but stayed on the side where she could touch the barrier and slowly walked/slided through the ice.
Nesryn watches as Azriel completes a complete lap around the ice before returning back to her side, wrapping an arm around her waist to support her.
He instructs her slowly on how to use her weight and muscle strength. He helped her skate, holding both her arms and patiently instructing her on what to do. By the time he finished telling her what to do, she was able to glide across the ice with no help at all.
An hour later, the two glided across the ice slowly but consistently. Azriel left her side for a minute when he heard a loud yelp before seeing his beloved down on the ice, he immediately rushed to her side and checked on her.
But, he stopped when a loud laugh came out from her.
He looked at her in confusion before breaking out in to giggles then full blown laughter, Nesryn sneakily pulled him down with her and they continued laughing as they stared at each other's eyes, white smoke coming out of their mouths from the cold but the warmth coming from Azriel's hand was enough to warm Nesryn's hands as he put their hands together.
