"Miss Kia, I'm glad to see you back."
Kiara puts the documents on the table. "Why?"
"You should know. Miss Earl's twins brother are visiting."
"So what does that have to do with me?"
Moi was bringing her chair closer to Kiara's desk. "He is very handsome. His name is Mr. Calvino. He is CEO in here."
Kiara sharpens her gaze. "Are you done talking? If it is already. Get back to your work."
"Wait a moment." Turn on the phone screen. "Look, he's handsome, right?"
Kiara's eyes widened. "This man is-" she rolled her eyes. "The man I met in front of the meeting room. So this man is Miss Earl's brother, and not an employee of the Fulton Company." She muttered.
Kiara smacks her forehead. "Lord, my life will be over."
Moi glared. "You mean?"
Kiara takes a deep breath. "Continue with your work."
"But-"
"Miss Moi, continue your work."
Moi pouted, then shifted the chair to her desk. She went back to work.
Kiara couldn't calm down. She kept thinking about Calvino. "I've been rude to him. What if he fires me?" Massaging her temples.
"I must apologize to, Mr. Calvin." Kiara walked towards the CEO's room. At the door met with Sean. "Miss Kia, you in here?"
"Mr. Calvino, are he in this room?"
Sean's eyes narrowed. "Mr. Calvino going."
"Where to?"
Sean shrugged nonchalantly and left.

Kiara is focused on work.
Suddista gave an order. "Miss Kia, to my room now."
Kiara went straight to the CEO's room.
"Miss Earl, excuse me."
"Please sit." Calista goes back to check the document, then closes it. Then turned to look at Kia. "You brought the documents I asked for?"
"This." Pushing the document in front of Calista.
"Have you learned the important points Mr. Ansley suggested?"
"Yes and you can check again."
Calista and Kiara were involved in a meaningful discussion.
Suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. Kiara turned her face and met Calvino's eyes.
I want to apologize but now is not the time. Kiara said in her heart.
"Can we continue our discussion, Miss Kia."
"Of course."
Kiara lost her concentration because Calvino was staring at her. Calista also understands this, so she turns to her brother. Eyes speak. I'm in a meeting with Kia. Leave my room.
Calvino should have gone. He instead approached Kiara and stood next to her.
Kiara was nervous. She immediately stood up, but Calvino blocked her movement. "There's no need to relocate. I just wanted to see what kind of proposal the Fulton Company came up with." Staring at Kiara's face, "May I check it?"
"Yes, please."
The two of them are so close.
Kiara was made for pounding, and so was Calvino. He knew it was Kiara, not Samara, but this tremor was out of control. Even his heart was pumping 1,000 times faster than expected.
"Am I mesmerized by this beautiful woman next to me?" He mumbled, looking into Kiara's eyes. "Lord, her eyes are very beautiful. I want to keep staring at these beautiful eyes all the time."
It seemed Calvino couldn't take his eyes off Kiara's face until Calista's voice startled him. "Your presence here bothers me. Come out."
Calvino leaned his face forward. His eyes gleamed sharply. "Before your arrival. I am the CEO of this company. So don't be rude to me."
"That was then, it's different now."
"Sickening."
Calvino glanced at Kiara, then left.
Calista sighed. "He's a nuisance." Then turned to look at Kiara. "Sorry, where did our conversation go?"
The two returned to focus on the topic of discussion until they finished it.
"Please return to the room and continue your work."
"Yes, Miss Earl. Excuse me." Bow down and leave.
--
Kiara can breathe a sigh of relief. "Finally finished meeting with, Miss Earl."
Kiara felt relief didn't last long when she met a pair of brown eyes who stared at her with unreadable eyes.
Kiara's steps down the stairs were getting slower.
Calvino was at the bottom of the stairs leaning his body against the wall. Both hands hugged each other in front of the chest, one leg crossed. His eyes never left Kiara.
Honestly, Kiara was scared. Even her legs felt limp like jelly. "Lord, give me the strength to pass this ladder," he said slowly.
Kiara was approaching the bottom of the stairs. Her body shivered violently, and Calvino continued to stare at her intently.
"Excuse me, sir." Kiara runs to her room.
Calvino was amused by himself. "You really are so adorable, Miss Kia." He muttered as he closed his eyes in their original position.
Suddenly Kiara's voice filled the ears. "Am I hallucinating?" He asked himself, but the voice filled his ears again.
Calvino opened his eyes.
How surprised Kiara was standing in front of him, smiling at him.
"What do you want to say, Miss Kia."
"I want to apologize for what happened this morning."
"You mean?"
"I did not recognize you as CEO of Calvino and was being rude."
Observing Kiara's beautiful face. "Only that?"
"Yes."
"No problem. Please return to your room." For being near you. I can get out of control. Hugging you even worse is kissing you.
