As they finally approached the tall man, whose beautiful face was covered in the blueish ray of light, looking really engrossed in whatever it was that he was looking at, Navier couldn't help but wonder if he was real at all.
"Mr Millanaire, your guest has arrived." The attendant informed, and that was when the beautiful man looked up to finally acknowledged their presence before him.
'Green.' Navier noted in her mind, 'his eyes are green. They're really beautiful, I couldn't make them out the last time we met.' Her heart had long been hammering loud and hard against her chest as soon as she took in his presence, and so she silently practiced her breathing exercise to calm her senses.
"I will be in standby when you need me." The attendant bowed to finally take his leave.
"Have a seat." He offered, "Or are you just going to stand there?" Navier knocked herself back to order.
'Calm yourself, Navier. I know its not everyday that we get to see a beautiful man, but first impressions are everything. Do not disappoint Jenna.' She sat down on the comfy chair, placing her bag beside her on the seat.
The seat was curved like the shape of a circle, capable of fitting in four people in counting, and then the round table, was centered in the midst of the seat. The interior looked so dazzling that she couldn't believe her eyes, especially with the man in front of her.
'His light skin looks really healthy.' She couldnt help but note in her mind.
'He has a sharp jawline, a well defined nose. Look at those thick, large and arched eyebrows, those red full love shaped lips! And are those dimples?!' She doubted reality in this very moment in time, as she kept staring.
"I really didn't expect you to be punctual on our first meetin. I'm truly impressed." He complimented.
Usually his previous dates were always ten minutes late or more, due to some excessive preparations or something else, which left him waiting.
'She didn't waste much time. There's still eleven minutes left till its 6:30am.'
Navier played with her fingers under the table as she answered, starting with a stutter. "W-well, its our first meeting. It'd be rude of me to keep you waiting when you're the one who initiated this meeting."
'She's honest and considerate, that's a first.' He noted. "I have questions." He informed.
"Of course. As away, I'm all ears, sir." Navier readied herself for his brutal attack.
"Why do you want to marry me so badly? You don't even know me." There it was, his atomic bomb.
"Well, um..." she blinked, searching for answers (lies).
'I can't tell him the reason why. It'll ruin everything.'
"Because, your rich and handsome. That's the only reason, I swear it." She gave herself a mental pat on her back. 'That's a safe response I suppose. Well done Navier.'
When she threw him a look, she found him staring back at her, like she had just escaped the ward. And soon after the silence, his bewitching laughter followed suit; showing off his set of pearly whites, and cute dimples; her heart skipped a beat as she basked in his beauty.
"Are you usually this comical?" The man asked after catching his breath.
"I don't know, but I was being serious." She responded in shame, definitely not making eyes contact.
It was now his turn to look at her, strangely. "Hmm, okay then." He instantly agreed, turning serious that it surprised the lady.
"I'll need you to sign these." He snapped his fingers and a tall man dressed in a black suit appeared.
'Where did he come from? I didn't see anyone on my way here.' The man placed the briefcase he held on the table, gave a bow and walked away.
It was then that the realization dawned on her. 'Wait, the attendant told me the whole building had been booked. Could it be...?' Navier stared as the man unclipped the case, bringing out a bunch of files to place them on the table.
"You need to sign here and agree to the terms and conditions. You can make your own suggestions, if necessary." He slid the file over to her.
Navier meekly uttered the word, "okay." As she first of all surveyed the contract in front of her. She signed in her signature with trembling hands, not sure why she felt a sense of hesitation.
"Having second thoughts?" He indirectly mocked, watching as her fingers trembled on the paper she was about to sign.
"No!" She loudly declared, "of course not!" She almost leapt off her seat, suddenly signing in her signature like she was attending some press conference. The man was utterly amused by her change in attitude.
"Here it is." She said as she passed the file back to him. Navier watched as he signed in his signature, shutting the file close, and carefully putting it in the case beside him.
"Now that we've both signed the contract." He suddenly turned serious, looking at her. "Let's discuss about the terms and the conditions of the contract."
The way he said it caused her stomach to churn in discomfort. "You can protest against some of my terms and conditions, but I will only allow a few." He informed her, tarnishing her ray of hope.
"Alright, I will try my best to adhere to them." The lady spoke in affirmation.
"And you're sure you won't regret it?" His green eyes gazed into her brown orbs.
Due to his bewitching eyes, the lady answered without any rational thinking. "I won't." Her response casted a sly smile on his face.
"Perfect." He uttered. "Let's order something before we get into it." He suggested and soon called for a waiter.
