Adams walked briskly into the elevator with his phone in his hands. He scrolled through the X app to know the update on stock exchange and to ensure his company is still ranked first in the business world. He tapped the button that leads to his office and continue to surf through the internet. He realized he was the talk of the Forbes magazine for the season. It stated that he was the handsome, cold, ruthless and rich bachelor. He smiled at the word "ruthless" because he intended to keep it that way. It was also stated that he had no time for love and he was usually cold to any lady that he perceived as bitch. He again felt satisfied that the world seem to know him a bit. At least, that would tell any lady that might want to bother him to keep off.
The elevator made a ding sound and he walked out heading to his office.
" Good morning sir", his secretary Jean chirped batting her eyes at him.
He looked at her baked face and long lashes. She was dressed in a polka dotted shirt that was three buttons down coupled with the shortest skirt he had ever seen and it was paired with a very high heels. He ignored her greetings and went in his office. He was really disgusted at her attitude but she was really good at her job. He settled down and switched on his laptop and sipped his black coffee. He drank his coffee and barely reacted to its bitter taste. He stopped taking flavored and creamy ever since the incident. He shakes his head and opened his emails to know his schedule. He had preferred his secretary to send his via emails because he couldn't bear her overwhelming self. "I really need a PA" he thought as he went through his emails. The land phone rang and Jean's voice came through.
"Hello sir, you have meeting in five minutes and the person is in the conference room already" she purred.
" Ok " he said. " I really need to change this lady or better still get a PA" he complained again.
He got up and left for the conference room. He saw Jean leaning on her table and he could swear her skirt got shorter and the cleavages are almost falling. He was fed up at this point and turned to her
" Jean, tell the HR to put up a vacancy for the position of a Personal Assistant and set an interview for next week Monday. Also, if you really need your job and would still like to work in this premises, let this be the last time you dress so indecent to work. Dress appropriately and also stop flirting with me. I am your boss and you would treat me as such. Button up your shirt and pull down your skirt, I won't say this again". He thundered and left.
Jean quickly fixed herself with trembling hands and a shocked face. She has never seen him that angry and it scared her. She sat down quietly and called the HR to relay the message.
...….
After a stressful but successful meetings and having signed another deal , Adams left his office and headed for home. He took some work home to do and decided to get dinner at one of his restaurant that happened to be his favorite, La Cuisine. He got to the place and upon entering the place, he bumped into someone. He looked up to tongue lash the person and saw a beautiful lady. She was about 5 ft 5 in height and she had an oval creamy pale skin with a curly brunette hair that got around her mid back. Her electric blue eyes seem to call out to him and he couldn't look away. Her brows and eyelashes were perfectly plucked and with a lips that looked so pink and soft he almost reached to check. She wore a fit tight black gown that brought out the curves in the upper and lower area of her body despite her chubbiness. He felt a tightness around his lions and was shocked his body could react to someone he barely know. He was angry that she could get such reaction out of him. He disregarded the dirty thought going through his mind and looked her over.
" I'm so sorry. Are you okay? Did I hurt you? I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking." She said apologizing profusely.
" You should pay attention to where you're going" he said harshly.
" oh, I'm sorry!" She apologized again.
He harshly walked past her and went to the restaurant to get his meal. While he was eating, his mind lingered on the lady he met outside the restaurant. She was captivating. He replayed their encounter and wished he was not too harsh on her but he brushed the thought and said
" they are all the same".
He finished his food, dropped a $100 bill as tip and left. He always leave a generous tip whenever he gets his food despite owning the place. It energizes his employees to put more efforts. He got in his car and drove home. He has always loved driving himself. He only use drivers if he attends important meetings or functions. He drove to his garage, parked his car and took the elevator by the garage to his penthouse. He unlock his door using his fingerprint and eyes for the retinal function and strolled down to his room taking a long shower. He afterwards went to his office and worked more for about two hours before retiring for the night.
As he adjusted the room temperature and laid on his bed to sleep, there was only one thing on his mind.
Electric blue eyes.
