THE CEO LOVES ME

Eyes on Me

Anna’s pov.

Alexander Elahandro what an expensive taste of masculinity and power that name leaves in my mouth. It had been a few minutes since the six foot - four gentleman had escorted me to my chair and I can’t say that i was falling short of flattered.

Jealous and calculating eyes around me guard my every move as if I were a piece of flesh and they fish but the lights in the room remained bright as the chandelier above me shone and when Mister Elahandro walked up to the microphone a flame had ignited in me that could not be blown.

“Good evening ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Gala awards” his voice boomed ending the heavy silence that was once present . “Today we are all here for one purpose and that is to give. Our lovely brothers and sisters among us have given up some of their most important pieces that mean a leg and a toe to them” he laughs along with a few other men.

“I would like to bring out our host,someone dearest to me, a very close friend Aliza Koney” he announces holding out an open extended hand in her direction as she appears from the crimson coloured curtains. I swallow nervously beginning to think that his kindness just probably went all to my head.

He reaches down to kiss the back of her jeweled hands before she pulls him into a cosy hug. I cough awkwardly looking away and throwing my head back unladylike emptying out my drink.

I pull out my notepad to regain focus. I was here for one purpose and that was looking for potential clients so it was not the time for me to put my heart on my sleeve.

I check my face in my small makeup mirror before reapplying my plump lips with some more red lipstick puckering them in a mock kiss before putting it away in my clutch bag.

I look up and blush when i see Alexander staring at me with a dimpled smile and i wink ignoring his raised eyebrow as i get up.

I remove the material of the my red dress near my feet before sauntering towards my first target. I Flip my hair over my shoulder and in the sweetest most delicate voice i can muster i speak.

“Hello Mister Victor and how are you this evening?” I ask the aging man who’s greying hair is perfectly styled in a quiff. He turns around and flashes me a dimpled straight teethed smile crinkles forming near his eyes and mouth.

“Why hello my dear god I’m doing great and you are?“he pauses putting the back of my hand to his mouth and kissing it gently his eyes following the curve of my body hungrily.

“I Anna Wales,i am representing Theresa-” his open raised palm halts my sentence and i stop. “My sweet darling Theresa where is she?” He asks eyes wondering behind me. “She’s ill and was unable to be here”i respond just as kindly smiling at the fondness in his eyes as he stares at me.

I think i might have just hit the jackpot. “Well then be my guest i will be sure to visit you guys soon to work some business out yeah?” He smiles and i nod feeling all giddy inside as i bid him farewell.

I turn and immediately bump into someone’s hard chest. “There you are did you think you’d get away from me so quickly” Alexander smiles charmingly to the persons around me but his hands gripped me rather firmly.

“Actually i was thinking about causing a scene for you to notice me Mr.Elahandro” i teased, gasping when he lifts his finger in a no nonsense way ”oh you're a naughty woman, I like that"
