?️ Elle ?️

I bit my lip nervously as my eyes met with Aubrey's. She dated Enzo when they were 14.

Cringe, but that's the truth.

They soon broke up when she saw Enzo talking to me. More like 'flirting'. I never flirted with him, but Aubrey put all the blame on me.

Honestly, I don't care what she thinks about me anymore.

She has already made my life a living hell by spreading rumours about me. I thought I had gotten rid of her, but here she is again.

"Enzo told me to show you around. Follow me." She spoke with an attitude.

I followed her anyway.

After the mini-tour, I realised I had 10 more minutes before the meeting started. I knocked on Mr William's door.

"Yeah," "The meeting-" "We are going to an Italian restaurant for the meeting."

He cut mne off. I was surprised at the sudden change of plan but shrugged.

"Alright." "Let's go then."

I sat in his huge, expensive-looking car. Oh god, it was so clean and good-looking.

This man is so rich. I felt slightly uncomfortable sitting on the luxurious seat.

"Don't be so stiff" "O-okay."

Shit, why did I stutter? I made myself comfortable in the car as we took off.

We reached the restaurant in a few minutes. As soon as we walked in, Mr William talked to the receptionist about their already booked table.

My eyes widened in the realisation that I was supposed to book the table for us. I guess it slipped from my mind.

"Be careful, Miss Miller."

He whispered in my ear, giving me a small yet low-key playful glare.

I whispered a small apology shortly. I felt slightly embarrassed about it though.

I sat next to Mr William waiting for our guests.

"I am really sorry about it, Mr William. I'll make sure i don't repeat such a mistake."

I apologized sincerely.

"Alright, I put my trust in you."

I could sense the genuineness in his voice. I am glad he forgave me.

"Excuse me? Mr William?" "Oh yes, please have a seat!"

Mr William carefully greeted the guest in pure Italian. They talked Italian for a few minutes, then they started talking about the main stuff in English as I sent orders for lunch.

Simultaneously, I took all the important notes.

They, too, asked me questions and I answered them with confidence.

This was my second meeting, and I was already playing it. Satisfaction filled my heart.

After the meeting ended, we stood up and wrapped it up for today.

"Oh and Elle, I like that confidence!"

The Italian said with a chuckle. I smiled brightly at him and shook hands with him as we bid goodbye.

Then I sat in the car next to Mr William in the passenger seat.

"That was pretty hot."

I heard him mutter. I frowned. Is he serious? "Um?" "Huh? Oh nothing."

He answered with a small voice. Stupid.

6pm.

It was the end of the day now. I knocked on Mr.

William's door again letting him know about my departure.

"Yes, come in."

I was exhausted from the work. I wasn't so used to traveling and walking so much.

"I'll be heading home now. Good night sir." I smiled lightly. He looked at me about to say something but shut his mouth.

I left.

10pm

I was preparing myself for bed and waiting for my mother's video call.

I heard my phone ring. It wasn't a video call but an audio I picked it up thinking it would be mom.

"Hellowwww hehe."

I yawned and chuckled as I spoke.

"Hello? Is this Elle Miller?"

I went stunned for a while. It took me moments to think that this was my boss speaking.

"U-um yes sir. It's me, Elle." "Oh hey I didn't recognise your voice for a second."

He spoke casually, as if he was mocking me.

He didn't sound so stern and bossy though. I guess he is home as well.

"How was your first day ?"

I blinked my eyes, suddenly feeling warm. He is caring.

"It was superb. I enjoyed working."

I answered his question genuinely.

"Did Aubrey show you around today?"

I paused for a moment. Only one thought in mind 'was he still dating Aubrey?' The thought made my legs weak, but I shook it off.

"Yes sir. She did." "Drop the honorifics, Elle."

A blush crept up my cheeks when he said my name. The effect he has on me is crazy.

"Okay Enzo."

I answered in a small voice. I bet he couldn't even hear me properly.

"I guesS you are tired. Well, we'll meet in the morning, huh?"

"Yes, of course." "Good night Elle." "Night Enzo."

I said loud and clear, then we cut the call.

Saying his name this way made me feel things. He was my boss but, at the same time, my old crush. I have mixed feelings about this.

**************************************************

The Next Day

I carefully placed the coffee on his table and turned to look at the clock.

8:58am.

He'll be here soon.

As I was about to leave, a blue notebook caught my attention.

I flipped through the pages. Everything in the book was written so beautifully. I checked the date, and it was the day before I joined.

Is this Mr William's book? This has to be his book! I mean he didn't have a PA before me joining me, so it must be him taking the notes.

My lips parted in surprise.

I used to tease himn back then because he had very ugly handwriting, and he promised me he would change it.

And he actually did.

I felt someone's presence behind me.

"What are you looking at?"

He whispered in a low voice.

"U-um sir, I was-"

I paused when I felt his chest against my back.

He is too close!

"Looking through my book?" "Y-yes."

I answered awkwardly. The position we were in, and the proximity made me stutter.

He hummed softly, resting his chin on my shoulder as he flipped through the pages.

"Impressed by my neat work?" "Y-yeah."

He chuckled, still not moving away from me.

"Surprised?" "Kind of.."

He leaned away from me. I turned around quickly, facing him, and realised we were still quite close.

"You know, Miss Miller, I don't like repeating myself."

He spoke casually yet seriously. I get a feeling I messed up.

He leaned in, putting both his hands on either side of me. Now I was trapped between him and the table.

My butt rested against the table as I leaned back.

"You see the box of ties there?"

I nodded hurriedly.

"Pick a suitable tie for me. Go."

He finally stepped away from me, grabbing the coffee.

I picked a blue tie which would go well with his baby blue shirt.

As he finished his coffee, I walked closer to him, fixing the tie around his collar. I need to get used to being close to him.

But how can I?! "And I want you to do this everyday without me reminding you. Got it?"

I pulled away and answered.

"Yes sir."

Enzo William.

I shook my head and smiled at earlier.

She is still so.. Cool. Just a little cold but she is good.

And she is still so pretty, it hurts.

I started working on my computer straight away, trying not to get distracted by my attractive PA.

Soon it was lunchtime. I thought of not having lunch today. A knock interrupted my thoughts.

"Yeah."

I replied shortly thinking it would be Elle, but there was Aubrey who rushed towards me with excitement.

"Enzo! Let's eat together!" "No, I have work. Please leave."

She started whining like a baby.

"Pleasee!!!

She yelled. I walked towards her, hoping she would leave.

"What do you want?"

She placed her palm on my chest, soon bringing it to the back of my neck. I felt goosebumps rise on my body.

Aubrey is my ex, but currently, I have no relationship with her. We have these hooks ups once in a while, but that's it. Nothing more, nothing less.

She pulled me close by my tie, and locked her lips around mine.

I don't really mind this intimacy sometimes.

She continued for a few more minutes, and we paused our actions, catching our breaths.

She was panting hard already.

"Ah Enzo... I like this."

After a few minutes of calming down, she again spoke up.

"Why did you hire Elle? She was the reason for our messy relationship" "I have already made it clear I have no feelings left for you.

Don't bring Elle into this." "What's so special in her Enzo?" "You get some work done. I'm the boss here."

She huffed and walked out. For some reason, it didn't feel right to kiss her today.

I shook my head and started working again, but my telephone rang.

"Yes?" "Sir, after lunch you are supposed to be meeting up with me."

"Miss Miller, you're still working? Isn't it lunch now?"

I got silence in response.

"Alright, come inside my cabin."

She should be strictly taking breaks during break time. It's a rule in my building! "Come in."

She stepped in, i could make out the small pout on her cute face.

"You should be eating lunch right now. What are you still doing up here?" "I had tO arrange my desk first so-" "It already looks clean you know."

"Because I want to arrange it differently."

I could feel her mentally rolling her eyes at me.

What i know is, she isn't being questioned this way.

"Okay, do you know you're going to accompany me to the meeting?"

"Yes sir, I'm well aware."

"So you should have lunch right now. I don't want to carry a dizzy woman with me in the meeting."

She froWned. No one has ever dared to do that to me and here she is already crossing the limits.

"I am not that weak, sir. I can handle myself."

She argued politely. I bet she was fighting the urge to glare at me, but I wanted to test her patience.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

She replied almost curtly and left my office.

My lips curved up.

"Stupid Elle."

I mumbled. Whatever she did, it was a dumb move. Is she actually not going to eat anything for the meeting?
