Chapter 8 - MY GODDESS

EASY LOGISTICS building

Inside the CEO's office.

As I heard she's here to meet with me, I got excited and sent my personal assistant to fetch her. I moved up my chair and walked towards the window, preparing myself to see her face to face, the Gorgeous Ruthless Queen of businesses. I've seen her in every business magazines and she's like an idol to me. I was excited when they proposed our collaboration, but I do business only with those my gut says yes to! I won't let my personal feelings come into my way of business, I decided. I heard my door open and closed.

I turned and my legs dragged me to her, to have a closer look. She's nothing like those pictures in the magazines. She looked like a goddess who appeared before me to grant me my wish.

I was tongue tied when she devoured me with her eyes. My cheeks flushed and blood rushed through my body . To hide my emotions, I said, "Have your seat" and moved towards my table and settled.

'There she goes again, her eyes lusting over my lips and I'm about to lose my self control'

"No .... No... .Kai…inside the office, you do business, no personal involvement of emotions ."I controlled myself and asked her the reason for this collaboration.

  Instead of answering my question, she spouted her thoughts about my voice as sexy. I was taken aback by her openness that kept kindling my hidden feelings, 'I think we are here to talk business!' I stiffened, not letting my barrier break.

She gawked at me, her darkened eyes roamed over from my eyes, to my lips and to my face and I could feel her drooling over me. The thought of her devouring me with her eyes started burning my self-control, letting me loosen up when she asked if I'm single, my eyes widened in astonishment.

  I can't take this anymore, she's making me go crazy. I may do something that I don't want to do. I composed myself and said, "Maybe .....We should end this meeting!"

Suddenly she became persuasive about the collaboration. Here I thought she's Ruthless as she was portrayed, but no. She's cute, she's nothing like those magazines depicted, a polar opposite and humorous too, A sensual Goddess!'

I wanted to call her, to be with her, to look into her eyes that kept roaming all over me. I wanted to feel that again. I felt empty when she left. She's so goddamn cool!

I sighed. I looked over and went through the papers and I signed the agreements.

I couldn't contain my excitement to work with her. I should call her and tell the good news, I thought. No…Not now, maybe I'll text her, ask her out for dinner and tell her in person, to see her face glowing in happiness. I took my phone to text her, but I don't have her number. I picked up the receiver of my intercom and asked my PA  to send me her number.

As I received the text, I saved the number and typed "Ruthless Queen" but deleted and again typed "Cutie Ash '' and saved.

I texted her the address of our dinner meeting to discuss the partnership. I waited for a reply but none. I felt heartbroken and stared at my phone. There, my phone buzzed and I grabbed it expecting it to be her, and yes, she replied, "See you there for dinner" with a smiley of heart eyes.

I chuckled at her cuteness and walked to my personal wardrobe to change into something better to impress her. I took out an olive blazer, a white chinos, finishing off with a navy crew neck t-shirt and paired with black leather boat shoes. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and felt satisfied. I exited my office and the car was already there. As I got in, the driver steered through the hustling boulevard to the restaurant.
