Chapter 1 - Meeting the Queen

Sitting before a vast blue sea, is a brown skin, 6.5 ft lady, dressed in a casual sky blue gown, glancing at her phone and smiling. She had this very deep dimple that made her smile heavenly and her face charming. The color of the deep blue sea, matching with the color of her gown created a very cool but alluring aura.

Xander was so captivated by her charm that he was lost in his own thoughts.
"Boss, Mr Klein just called asking if you are free for dinner tonight" said Riley, Xander's assistant.

Xander who was distracted from admiring the beauty and aura of the Queen sitting a distance from him, was so vexed that he cursed Riley in his heart a thousand times while starring at him with daggers in his eyes. Riley sensing that the situation was not right tried to exonerate himself. "I'm sorry, boss. I was just...."
Before he could complete his sentence he heard a cold voice, "No, I'm not free. Now if there's nothing else, Scram!" Without thinking twice, Riley fled the room.

After calming himself down, Xander turned back to continue watching the Queen only to see an empty seat. Immediately he felt like something just left his life. This is the first time that Xander was moved by a woman since his 25 years of existence. He hated being around women, and feels disgusted when women flirt around him. However, this Queen was different. She broke his walls. Feeling challenged, Xander rushed out of the suit in search of her. At the moment for Xander it was conquest and not love.

At the elevator, Xander stood waiting for the door to open. As the door opened, he was stunned by what he saw. The lady he was running to search for was standing right before him. She was talking to someone on the phone, he did not know what they were discussing but then she smiled and immediately Xander felt like he was blind. His brain was telling him to stop acting like the people in the movies and put himself together, but his body was reacting differently.

Xander stood rooted at the elevator door, which made the lady a bit confused. She stopped smiling, as she starred at him with confusion.
"What's wrong with this guy" Anita thought in her head."

After she waited a while without him moving, she tapped him on the shoulder. "Excuse me Mr., can you please leave the way?" Xander was so lost that he did not hear her. This time she patted him a little harder then gestured with her eyes for him to leave the way. That was when Xander got hold of himself a bit. Feeling embarrassed, he could only move aside as he muttered "I'm sorry, Queen."

Riley who was following Xander as he rushed out of the suit was shocked by the scene he just witnessed. Was his cold hearted boss captivated by a lady? Riley thought in his head. Still shocked, he shook his head dismissing the thought. It was impossible. Well, not really impossible. Riley was sure that if the tribe witnessed this, the temple will be full of gifts the next minute because they'll be celebrating and thanking God for such a rare miracle.

Putting his own thought together, Riley asked Xander, "Boss, do we go downstairs or..." Before he could continue what he was saying, Xander pushed him aside and hurried upstairs. He felt really embarrassed of how he acted. He had never had a lady move him so much that he lost hold of himself. As he rushed into the suit, he entered his room and slammed the door. Riley who was welcomed by a bang of Xander's door could not help but burst out laughing. He knew that Xander was ashamed of whatever it was that happened downstairs.

Feeling so ecstatic by the event that would become a global news if the press ever heard of it, Riley picked up his phone to make a gossip call.
