Lucian's gaze wandered calmly across the scene, acknowledging the attention he drew with a subtle smile that sent hearts aflutter. His charm, blended with an air of mystery, made him a captivating enigma that intrigued those around him.

Women couldn't help but steal glances, drawn to the magnetism that emanated from him like an ethereal glow. Some were shy in their admiration, while others couldn't resist stealing a moment to engage in hushed discussions about the alluring figure by the pool.

In that moment, Lucian appeared as a timeless figure, transcending the ordinary and embodying an allure that was beyond comprehension. He was a captivating blend of strength and sensuality, an embodiment of the Harmony Heights city Hotel's allure itself.

The ambiance seemed to dance with enchantment as the women present couldn't help but be mesmerized by the man with the brown hair, gray eyes, sick packs, and muscles, whose very presence lent a touch of magic to the atmosphere. The allure of Lucian, the embodiment of elegance and charm, left an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of every woman in the hotel.

Suddenly, A man in his 30s slipped near the poolside, an unfortunate mishap led to him accidentally pouring water on Lucian, who was seated on the poolside chair. In that moment, time seemed to slow as Lucian's expression changed from surprise to fury.

With lightning-fast reflexes, Lucian rose from the chair, his once-alluring aura now replaced with a storm of anger. The poolside air crackled with tension as he unleashed his rage upon the hapless man. Each strike seemed to be fueled by an unyielding force, leaving no room for mercy.

The crowd that had once admired Lucian now looked on in fear and astonishment. The air of charm and allure was replaced by a chilling display of power and dominance. Whispers filled the space, hushed voices conveying shock and concern at the sudden transformation of the man they had admired.

The man's desperate pleas for forgiveness fell on deaf ears as Lucian's relentless blows continued, an unyielding storm of wrath. In that moment, it was as if the very atmosphere recognized the intensity of the confrontation, casting an eerie silence over the scene.

Lucian's bodyguards rushed in and took him out from the scene.

*A FEW WEEKS LATER*

*Moon tech company*

Isabella sat on a chair, her mind a whirlwind of thoughts, all centered around Lucius. Her captivating beauty was momentarily overshadowed by a dreamy expression that graced her features. Her eyes, usually vibrant and expressive, now held a distant gaze, lost in the memory of Lucius's handsome looks.

A soft smile played on her lips as she reminisced about his cool, confident voice that seemed to send shivers down her spine. The memory of his voice was like a soothing melody, echoing in her mind and heart.

Her thoughts then wandered to his awe-inspiring attitude, a perfect blend of charm and mystery that made him so alluring. She could still feel the magnetic pull he exerted, drawing her closer with every encounter.

In that moment of quiet contemplation, Isabella found herself enchanted by the mere thought of Lucius. Her mind was a canvas of admiration, where every stroke of thought painted a picture of the mesmerizing man who had captured her heart.

"Hello.... Excuse me,"

She heard a familiar voice and came back to reality to check who it was, but to her surprise, it was her dream man, Lucius.

"Oh" she rushed up, everyone was staring at her,

"Good.... Morning...sir,"

She stammered

"You didn't sleep well at home?"

Lucius cracked a joke

She shook her head.

Lucius smiled gently, he looked at her ID and saw "ISABELLA ANDERSON" written on it.

"Oh, it was you the other day at the entrance,"

Lucius asked,

"Ye...yes sir, I'm sorry about that day,"

"I didn't get the chance to give you a better apology that day. "

She bowed.

"You looked more pretty in person than in the photo,"

Lucius smiled at her.

*Lucius's head*

"She is too pretty," and smiled again.

"What can I call you, Miss Anderson or Mrs Isabella?"

He asked,

"Isabella, is okay sir,"

She answered, lowered her eyes and blushed small.

"Okay, Mrs Isabella, I need some records of sales of this department, one month ago,can you bring them to me in my office,"

He said politely.

"Sure sir,"

She nodded.

"Okay, thanks,"

He said and found his way to his office.

Isabella could not believe her eyes, that Lucius would talk to her politely, she jumped up and shouted, every one looked at her and laughed. Sera slapped her on her back and told her to keep quiet.

Isabella knocked on Lucius's office door,

"Come in,"

His voice ran out gently, Isabella blushed before she entered.

Lucius's office exuded an air of sophistication and power. It was situated on the top floor of the Moon tech company's headquarters, affording breathtaking views of the city below. The spacious room was adorned with tasteful decor, combining modern elegance with touches of opulence.

The walls were adorned with framed achievements, awards, and images capturing moments of the company's success. A large desk made of dark wood dominated the center of the room, flanked by plush leather chairs for meetings and discussions.

A state-of-the-art computer setup rested on one corner, a testament to the technology that drove Moon tech company's innovations. On a side table, there was a collection of carefully curated books, reflecting Lucius's interests and intellectual pursuits.

As Isabella stepped into Lucius's office, her eyes widened with astonishment. The ambiance of power and authority left her momentarily breathless. The realization that she was standing in the inner sanctum of the Moon tech company's president left her feeling both humbled and exhilarated.

Her gaze wandered around the room, taking in every detail, from the panoramic cityscape outside the window to the meticulously arranged furnishings. The gravity of the place made her heart beat faster, knowing that this was the domain of the enigmatic man who had captured her thoughts and admiration.

Meeting Lucius in his office brought a new dimension to their interactions. It was as if the allure and mystique she had felt for him outside these walls were magnified tenfold within this space. Isabella's eyes sparkled with a mix of wonder and curiosity, eager to unravel the enigma that was Lucius in the context of his domain.

In this moment, standing in Lucius's office, Isabella found herself drawn deeper into his world. The impression left by the grandeur of the surroundings only deepened her fascination, leaving her intrigued by the man who commanded such a majestic workspace.

As their eyes met, Isabella couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement, knowing that within these walls, she would discover more about the captivating man who was now not only the president of Moon tech company but also the man of her dream.

"Here, sir,"

She bowed as she handed over the records to him. She turned back to leave but Lucius stopped her.

"Wait....."

She pretended like she didn't hear because she wanted to hear his voice once again, and moved towards the door knock, she was about to open the door and Lucius's voice embraced his brain again.

"Just a moment Mrs Isabella,"

She turned back and took some steps forward.

Lucius stood up and move closer to her,

"This is last year recorded file, Mrs Isabella,"

He said and gave her the files to check.

Isabella saw the file and apologize,

"I'm sorry sir,"

"It's okay, no one above the mistake, just go and bring me the files I asked for,"

He said smiling.

*Isabella's head*

"Stop smiling, you are making my heart flutter. Please stop...stop... stop....

"I said, stop..."

She mistakenly said it louder and covered her mouth,

"I'm sorry sir, I will bring them now,"

She said shyly and rushed out with her eyes covered.

Lucius smiled again and went back to his chair. No woman could resist his beauty. His voice, smiling face, innocent eyes, made women 's hearts flutter.

"She is so cute,"

He muttered to himself.

Isabella ran out, jumped on her chair, she put her head on the table and smiled nervously

"Baby girl, what happened?"

Sera asked and Isabella raised her head.

"Why is your face so red?"

Sera touched her cheeks

"Huh, nothing, my face is not red?"

She covered her cheeks.

"Hope it is not what I'm thinking, baby?"

Sere arched

"What...what...what are you thinking,"

She rolled her eyes, and stood up to look for the sales files.

"Have you fall for Mr Lucius at the first sight,"

Sera asked curiously.

"What!"

Isabella shouted, everyone in their department set their eyes on her, and she put her hands together to beg them.

"Are you in love....,"

Isabella covered her mouth before she could finish her words. Sera struggled to escape from Isabella's hand, but she is too strong for her to handle. Isabella made her sit on her chair, and went out when she found the recorded files.

She found the files and headed to Lucius's office, on her way to his office, she recalled how Lucius was introduced to them.

The day of Lucius's introduction as the new president of Moon tech company was marked by an air of anticipation and excitement throughout the entire organization. The employees gathered in the company's grand auditorium, eager to witness the arrival of their new leader. Whispers filled the air as rumors of Lucius's remarkable presence and undeniable beauty had spread like wildfire.

As the appointed time neared, the atmosphere buzzed with anticipation. The company's executive team took their places on stage, waiting to welcome the man who would steer their collective vision. Suddenly, the doors swung open, and Lucius stepped into the room, exuding an aura of magnetic charm.

The collective gasp that swept through the auditorium was palpable. All eyes were instantly drawn to him, their gazes locked onto his commanding presence. His white hair cascaded elegantly, framing his sharp features and captivating golden eyes that seemed to hold a world of secrets.

Lucius moved with grace and confidence, his tailored suit accentuating his sculpted physique. As he reached the podium, he flashed a disarming smile, and a wave of admiration washed over the crowd. The atmosphere seemed to shimmer with the energy of awe-struck admiration as the employees were captivated by his striking looks and charismatic presence.

Isabella, too, was among those in the audience, her heart racing with a mix of excitement and nervousness. The sight of Lucius, now the president of Moon tech company, stirred emotions within her that she had never experienced before.

As Lucius began to speak, his voice resonated with a magnetic charm that held everyone captive. His words carried a sense of purpose and vision, promising a future of innovation and excellence for Moon tech company. With each sentence, his beauty seemed to weave a spell on the hearts of those present, Isabella included.

As the introduction concluded, a wave of applause erupted, each employee showing their genuine excitement and approval of their new president. Yet, amidst the collective jubilation, Isabella felt something more profound stir within her. Lucius's presence had awakened a curiosity and admiration that she couldn't quite explain.

In the days that followed, Isabella found herself increasingly drawn to Lucius, both as the inspiring leader of Moon tech company and as the man whose beauty had captured her heart. As they interacted during work meetings and casual encounters, her admiration for him deepened, and she couldn't help but wonder what secrets lay behind his captivating golden eyes.

Lucius's introduction as the president of Moon tech company was a defining moment for the organization, but for Isabella, it marked the beginning of an enchanting journey, one that would lead her to uncover not just the enigmatic leader he was but the man he was beneath the surface, a man she found herself irresistibly drawn to.

As Isabella hurriedly made her way down the hallway in front of Lucius's office, her heart pounded in her chest with nervous energy. Lost in her thoughts, she didn't notice the person walking in the opposite direction until it was too late. In an unexpected collision, she bumped into someone, and her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she stumbled back.

When she turned to apologize, her eyes widened in surprise. It was Lucian, the man known for his cold and distant demeanor. The encounter left her feeling flustered and unsure of how to handle the situation. Her instinct was to turn and run, hoping to escape the awkwardness.

Just as she was about to make a hasty retreat, the office door swung open, and Lucius emerged. Isabella's heart skipped a beat at the sight of him. She had always admired the charismatic and enigmatic president from afar, but now, standing in front of him after her accidental encounter with Lucian, she felt a mix of nervousness and fascination.

"Isabella, wait,"

Lucius called out, his voice carrying an air of authority that made her pause. Uncertainty flickered in her eyes as she hesitated, unsure of what to expect from him.

Lucius approached with a composed and welcoming smile.

"It's alright,"

he said kindly, addressing her collision with Lucian.

"Accidents happen. Are you okay?"

Isabella's cheeks flushed again, but this time with a mix of relief and gratitude. His genuine concern put her at ease, and she managed to respond,

"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you for asking, Mr. Lucius."

He nodded, his captivating gaze holding her attention. In that moment, Isabella felt a spark of connection with Lucius, as if he could see through her thoughts and emotions. It was a rare and enchanting experience to feel acknowledged by someone she had admired from a distance.

As they exchanged a few more words, Lucius's charm and warmth further captivated Isabella. Her initial impression of him as a cold-hearted man faded, replaced by a newfound admiration for the multifaceted individual he seemed to be.

"Are you blind Lucius, don't you see me standing, and you are asking this rag, if she is okay or not. Why do you care?"

Lucian yelled upon his throat.

"It is not like that, Lucian, calm..."

Lucian landed a thunderous slap on Isabella's cheek before Lucius finished his words.

Will Lucius punch him back or.....what do you think would happen?
