Hall Blackwood, the wealthiest and most (rather say )most perfect bachelor in the country.He stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows of his penthouse office, starring out at the city skyline. His chiseled features and piercing deep blue eyes made him a magnet for attention, but his true nature remained a secret.
"Mr. Blackwood, your meeting with the CEO of Skyfall_tech is scheduled for 2 PM," his assistant reminded him.
Hall nodded, his gaze still fixed on the horizon. "I'll be there."he replied coldly.
As he turned, his eyes landed on the sleek, silver bracelet encircling his wrist. A sly smile played on his lips, and he felt the familiar stirrings of his demon within.
Meanwhile, across town, Skyfall _tech CEO, Maya Singh, prepared for the meeting with Hall Blackwood. Her smartness and stunning beauty made her a force to be reckoned with in the corporate way.She is stylish , elegant,fair and sexy her bright blond complemented her perfect ocean siren eyes.There is the attractive way her thin lips curled up that seems she always simles even if she frowns .The red handless short gown gummed her slim body showing all her curves and all ,with a slight slit at the corner,it fitted and marched her heels.
"I don't trust him," Maya confided in her best friend and colleague, Mira .Maya leaned against her office desk Crossing her arms "There's something about him that doesn't add up."suspicions etched between her brows.
Mira raised an eyebrow. "You mean besides his charming smile and piercing eyes?"she scoffed.
Maya rolled her eyes. "That's exactly what I mean."
"Really?"
Maya rolled her eyes again, tilting her head sideways.
There was a brief silence for a while.Maya decided to have a quick prop.
There was a knock at the door.
"Come in !"The assistant came in,she's short ,fairskinned,chubby and pretty.
She greeted the guest, Mira before revealing her mission"Mr.Blackwood just sent a message he'll arrive soon"
Maya gave her a disimissive nod without uttering one word,the assistant left.
"Seems... You soon gonna find out what's fucking wrong about that guy,like I don't see any damn thing wrong about him...like his all perfect,for heaven's sake what's your..."
"..... no one is perfect...ok?,Mira"Maya interrupted trying to sound as calm as possible.
"Okay? then tell me what's the fuss about"
Mira signed , plastering a slight frustrating slap on her forehead "Mira you are the one making the fuss not me !"She don't understand why Mira have to twist the topic EVERY FUCKING TIME...
"Maya ....look if I were you I would have grab this opportunity,you meeting the most perfect guy on this earth ...an you're making a damn fuss ...shit!..you know what I'm wishing I'm in your shoes ,date that guy..as well my heart isn't made of stone,I'm bound to have feelings okay?"
Mira's million words was able to come out in a second and Maya couldn't take one word."so...?"Maya scoffed.
Mira's head has already exploded like Anger in Inside Out."You what ?..I'm pissed off"
"Oh no !"Maya said sarcastically with a tiny grin.
Mira left a long hiss before she left the office with a loud slam.
"This girl ....LMAO"Mira was just a clown.
Just then Mr.Blackwood entered the conference room, Maya's heart skipped a beat. Their eyes met, and for a moment, they just stared at each other.
The way she leaned at the front of the desk all attractive and seductive,seems she was expecting him for The unholy.
He eyes ran through her body fora couple of seconds and those shivers ran down his spine, though Mira felt same too.
"Mr. Blackwood, welcome," Maya said breaking the silence, extending her hand,her voice betraying her physical confidence.
Hallst handshake was firm, his contact sending warm shivers down Maya's spine. "The pleasure is mine, Ms. Singh."
...
"I must say, Ms. Singh, your company has impressed me," Hall said, his eyes locked on hers. "I'm interested in discussing a potential partnership."He was impressed by her company presentations for hours he sat there swimming in her soft voice.
Maya's guard remained up, but she couldn't deny the spark of attraction. "I'm listening, Mr. Blackwood. What did you have in mind?"
They dived into the details, Hall's charm and smartness won over Maya's initial reservations. She found herself smiling and feeling at ease in his presence, sometimes he threw soft glances at her with some side similes and Maya's head grew wild by the seconds.
"I think we could work well together, Ms. Singh,"Hall said, his smile attractive.
"Please, call me Maya," she replied, her voice soother than she intended.
Hall's eyes gleamed with a ting of victory. "Maya, then. I'll have my team draw up a proposal. Perhaps we can discuss
Maya's heart skipped a beat. Was this a business meeting or a date?
"I'll consider it," she said, trying not to sound hesitant.
As the meeting concluded, Hall walked Maya to the elevator. The air was ceased with tension.
"I look forward to hearing from you, Maya," Hall said, his pitch deep and husky.
Maya's heart raced a million miles for a second. "I'll be in touch, Mr. Blackwood."A wild simle plastered on her pretty face.
The door closed between them, leaving Maya wondering if she just made a deal with the devil himself.His aura was so indifferent yet she felt a strong connection with him.
Unknown to Maya, Hall's gold bracelet gleamed in the dim light of the elevator, a subtle reminder of the demon lurking beneath his charming personality.
