"Hey Dixie I will see you later" I patted my cute little Aussie buddy before heading out to work. I worked in one of the biggest and tallest buildings as a part of the accounting team. Every dime that comes in and leaves the company mustn't escape our notice. I have been working here for two years now and to be honest, I loved my job! The pay is fantastic and the environment is accommodating Two months ago, the company hired this cute fun IT guy and as we got to know ourselves and talk, I found out he isn't just good-looking but has a fun character too. I didn't know when my feelings towards him stopped being so innocent, I wanted him to look at me not as a random girl but as a lady, a woman! Before now, I never actually cared what others thought about me, or my dressing because I always felt their opinion of me doesn't matter but with him, I wanted it to matter. I wanted him to compliment me, my dress, my smile, and my walk but well it is all just a wish For now I hope! Unlike before, these days I take my time to pick out my dress, shoe, and even perfume. I now apply little make-up on my face before heading out to work! As I drove, I couldn't help humming from the excitement of seeing him today... OK now I sound desperate and obsessed but you won't blame me I mean, I had a boring office life until I met him. With him I had something to look up to, a person with who I can laugh and joke around with, whenever we are in a meeting, he always sends to me the most stupid messages and I would have no choice but to force myself not to laugh I finally pulled off at the entrance and hurried upstairs, due to traffic, I have just a few minutes to be on my desk before being tagged late. "Good morning Phil" I greeted breathlessly. Phil short for Philip has been my coworker since my very first day here at work, we both had resumed office on the same day and our desk is just a few distances away from each other. "Morning Hazel, how was your night?" He questioned "Went quite alright, yours?" I asked too and while I arranged my desk, we got involved in some little conversations and threw around hello to the other workers. I wasn't seated for an hour when I received a call from departmental head office about a meeting and I was to join him in his office. I left my work and headed to his office where I met some others who were already inside, I recognized them all "Good morning sir" I greeted taking an available spot next to the others. "Good morning Miss Easton. Great, now that you all are here, we can start. It's no news that the company is trying to build a relationship with the MILES. Well we were able to find an opportunity and we took it, now you all were selected to represent the company as a team of four" he stopped as he watched our expressions before continuing "Mr. James would be joining you to make a presentation which will convince them of what the company has to offer and why they should consider working with us. Do any of you have a question?" he asked as he looked at us all probably trying to figure out our thoughts I work with an architectural company, one of the best in the country actually, it gives me so much pride to say I work here even though I'm no architect. MILES is a world-leading construction company that has been around for a while now. They had constructed most of the major projects we see around the world. MILES remained a mystery to a lot of people because it seemed to have just popped out into the world and ruled over the construction world bringing down any and every competitor they had. Every company, no matter their field wants to be affiliated with them, it's no wonder why we too would want that. Luckily they made a branch here just recently and since then, the company has been making all necessary effort to see they get noticed by them You must be wondering why the effort since we are one of the best in the country, well we aren't the best and definitely ranks nowhere when we are considering global. MILES is globally accepted as the best and most reliable construction company in existence. Their credibility is what made them unique. They were like a monster whose positions can't be questioned or challenged. "... We will do our best sir" promised Bianca. Bianca is one of the most beautiful and well-dressed workers in the accounting department, she is well known around the office for how sophisticated she is. She is what the males call a spec! hence the favorite of almost every worker here "Well said Bianca" Director James who rarely smiles beamed towards her, and then turned to us. "Drop every other previous work of yours and get to work, I doubt I need to remind you to keep this within yourselves right?" He asked as we all nodded no. "Good" and with that we all got dismissed. "I guess we all will meet during lunch hour to discuss what we shall be doing. Before then clear off or finish your works" said Carter one of the most senior workers in our team of four. When I got to my desk, my neatly groomed hair was made into a ponytail and I got engrossed in work. I hated doing an unfinished work so I tried to get it done before lunch. Just as the clock struck 12 indicating lunch hour, I looked up and saw him coming over with his ever signature smile Did I tell you how infectious his smile was? No! He got one of the best smiles ever "Hey, shall we?" I blushed from embarrassment. I look a mess right now. To think I made myself up earlier today "Sorry can't. I have got work to do" I explained and it was at that moment I saw Carter, Bianca, and Louis walking towards the small conference room "Got to go" I told him before following after them Just as I was about to enter, I turned and saw him still looking at me, I gave him a smile and went in What was that look?! Was he disappointed he couldn't grab lunch with me?
