'Huh, I, I am fine and you?' Stammered Shanazer.
'I am great.' Replied the handsome figure, the spontaneous figure gazed at Shanazer in the eyes. Shanazer also glanced back into his eyes. Their eyes locked, both searching for something in another's eyes.
As Shanazer dived into his blue sparkling eyes, deep inside them, she saw the richness, not that of money, or wealth, but his inner beauty. That's the thing she desired in him most. Similarly, the handsome figure also looked intensely into the shining bright blown eyes of the strange girl. He saw the authentic poorness, not of lacking wealth, but of her pure heart and soul. This he did not have, and he desired above all things.
'Sir, how may I be of assistance to you?' Disintegrated the incantation Miss Emily Granger. Instantly, the handsome figure was awakened from whatever spell was cast on him by Shanazer, who coughed lightly.
'Miss Granger, please come and help me arrange room twenty-one F. I would like to make certain adjustments.' Requested the handsome figure.
From time to time he twisted his eyes toward Shanazer. His recipe voice was saying something else. Yet his body language gave a different statement. 'Miss Athens!' Called out miss Emily Grenger, then continued, 'Please, do carry on with your work, I will join you later.'
Shanazer paid little attention to Miss Emily Grenger because her eyes were completely fixed on the handsome figure. Miss Emily Grenger waited to get confirmation from Shanazer, who was dallying, to steal more time with the handsome figure, perhaps one of the seven wonders of the world, 'Sure.' She responded without even looking at Miss Emily Grenger. The handsome figure also looked at Shanazer lustfully. Miss Emily Granger's audible voice disturbed the handsome figure's trend of thoughts, 'Sir? After you.' He came back from his reverie, as he verbalized, 'Right, of course,' he turned gracefully, gradually walking away while Miss Emily Granger followed right behind him. Shanazer's jaw dropped. As she beheld, his back slowly disappeared.
A few minutes later, Shanazer completed analyzing the fault and, at the same time, Miss Emily Granger was back. She seemed so relaxed and wore a prolonged smile. Shanazer did not know how to take it. 'How is it going, miss Athens?' Cross-questioned Miss Emily Grenger.
Shanazer took her time before reporting her assessment, she portrayed a thoughtful nature, as she elaborated, 'Call me Shanazer, well, the power is not reaching here, and cables have been burnt. So we must rewire the entire room.' Miss Emily Granger listened very attentively, with keen interest, not missing out any word that came out, 'Alright, let me inform Mrs Blake.' She removed a phone from her back pocket, dialed Mrs Blake's number. The call went through. In about fifteen seconds, it was picked up. Miss Emily Grenger relayed all the information she had received from Shanazer. The phone was on the loudspeaker. 'Does she know what he is doing?' Queried Mrs Blake.
The network jammed a bit, then it picked up, 'Yes mum, she is a professional, unlike the other men who came to fix it for us.' Remarked Miss Emily Granger.
Mrs Blake commanded, with an assertive, yet gentle voice, 'Take her to Xander, get her whatever she needs, because I want all the cameras functioning perfectly because we will have an important guest tomorrow. Our security system must be intact.' Miss Emily Granger's eyes lit up, 'Yes mum.' She hurled back.
Next, Miss Emily Granger and Shanazer were entering an office, when Shanazer saw the handsome figure again sitting behind a desk, she tripped, 'Miss Athens, are you alright?' Cross-examined miss Emily Granger with a troubled face.
'Yes, of course, thank you.' Shanazer flung back and smiled shyly.
Her eyes took note of the set-up, the neatness, how well furnished the office was. On the table lay a gray laptop, a diary, pen, sunglasses and a lot of files stocked behind the handsome figure.
Xander twisted his eyes on Shanazer, and his curved lips gave a pure grin.
Miss Emily Granger had just finished gathering her thoughts on the reason why they had come to his office. ' Huh, Mrs Blake, sent us !' 'No need, Mrs Blake has already told me.' She was cut short by a lovely serene tone that drove Shanazer sane. The handsome figure looked at Shanazer with demanding eyes which meant business, but underneath, lay those of richness and authenticity. 'What things do you need, miss Shanazer?' Cross-questioned the handsome figure.
Shanazer dived into the conversation with a smile, but her voice wore a work ethic, 'Huh, three, two point five millimeter cables, red, black and green. Three, one point five millimeter cables, red, black and green and three double sockets.' Answered Shanazer nonchalantly, he gazed at her with admiration, splendor and tenderness, 'Is that all you need?' Shanazer thought about the question earnestly, she did not doubt herself, 'Yes.'
The handsome figure followed up with another question, but now a bit open and out of curiosity, 'Do you know where we can get them from?' Shanazer followed his rhythm and vibe, 'Yes.'
The handsome figure saw an advantage in getting to know Shanazer a little bit better. He thought, 'what better way to get close, than go shopping for electrical materials with her?'
'I will drive you there. Can we get all the things in one place?' He inquired.
To Shanazer, this was a straight away answer. Who wouldn't want to spend some quality time with a charming guy like him? 'Hum, yes.' She replied awkwardly. A cute smile followed after her words, for his eyes were on her, causing her to blush.
She was fine with his suggestion. The handsome figure had to make the next move. He needed to prepare, and could not do it in front of Shanazer or Miss Emily Granger, 'Miss Anthens, could you go wait for me in the VIP lounge, I will be there in five minutes. Miss Granger, please show her the way.' He instructed, a cute smile flashed on his face, creating dimples. It was quite intense for him speaking to Shanazer because he liked her so much.
'How cute! Your voice is electrifying, Mr handsome. You are very intriguing. Shanazer thought and grinned back at him, she almost lost her composure, blushed, and her head fell down shyly.
Shanazer was sitting cross-legged admiring the V I P lounge, when a sweet enchanting voice rang in her ears, 'Shall we go?' Shanazer quivered, for she did not see or hear him walk in. Just a sweet voice reverberated in her ears. She instantly stood up, 'Sure. After you.' He led the way.
'The things we are going to buy, can they fit into this car?' Shanazer nodded first, her sweet voice came after. 'Yes, no doubt.'
A genuine smile glowed on Shanazer, as she reached the car she paused, waiting for the Handsome guy to give her a go-ahead signal to get into the car. 'Please get in.' Shanazer opened the car door, jumped in majestically, the handsome guy also got in too and the car engine ignited. He reversed the car, the gate was opened, and the car drove off. Shanazer tried to find out who the handsome guy was, since she was new, it was better to let him take the lead. Therefore, quietness was going to play a good role.
Taking one step at a time, calmness sometimes speaks volumes. The handsome figure thought of how to initiate a conversation. Right now there was silence, a strong edge bothered him, the pressure kept increasing, uncontrollably, this pushed him to utter something that flashed in his mind, 'By the way, my name is Xander Blake?'
This was what Shanazer had been waiting for. Still, she had to follow his lead. 'Please call me Shanazer, Shanazer Anthens.'
'You have a cute name.' Complemented Xander, that one single word was good enough to charm her. She blushed, her cheeks turning red. Xander could see that clearly on her right cheek. He then completely focused on the road ahead.
Though he could glance at her from time to time through the rear mirror.
'Thank you, yours, too, is pretty cute and not common.' Commented Shanazer.
Xander enjoyed the conversation, 'Shanazer, where exactly are we going to buy the materials from?' The flow of their vibe was intriguing, it was like they could read each other's thoughts. 'At Veena Electronics.' Xander's cheeks moved slightly, his dimples much visible, a dim smile hung, by the corner, but he strongly tried hiding it. 'Without doubt I know that place very well.' he said.
She gazed at him through the rear side mirror. She raised her hand and tugged her hair backward. And reviewed her neck and ears. A chill came through the car, both Xander and Shanazer listened to each other's thoughts and feelings. 'Shanazer tell me about you?'
Shanazer thought carefully before making a sound. She had to trade carefully, this was a big question, also a bit personal. He was digging into her. 'Well,' she gave him a beaming grin. 'As you can see, I don't come from a rich family. I grew up from an orphanage, went to a community school, then to Horizon university, and I am studying Information Technology and Electronics Engineering. I got accepted at OxyamCorp Base One. A day ago, and now I am here with you.' She sighed and breathed peacefully.
Xander became even more interested in the girl next to him.
'Wow! You have had an interesting adventure. I sincerely admire you.' Her face beamed and brightened. Shanazer felt relieved, it was like Xander was dissecting her. Talking about oneself is not that easy. Pride welled up into Shanazer's heart.
'Yes, I wouldn't trade my past for anything.' Xander did not just end up there, 'OxyamCorp is a huge corporation, you will definitely soar high. I will be cheering for you.' Shanazer tilted her head to look at Xander. He, too, felt her gaze and jacked, glanced back at her but retreated fast to face the road.
Shanazer needed to keep the atmosphere warm. 'How do you know that I would do well, when you just met me today?'
