Nice to meet you" The words barely left her mouth, the chatter rose again, blinding light resumed, clicking cameras at every turn she couldn't afford to lose her image, her contract. She is the face of lox corporate.
How warm he used to be then, the disgust in his eyes.
Those different emotions taught her a lot in life. How naive she really was, to think it was going to be forever paradise and how she let him take advantage of her.
Her hands clenched tightly at the thought of it all. How dare he show up with the audacity to think he could fling her about again?
The romantic sparks that sent sparkles to the air died instantly, the quest for revenge in her invigorated.
Riana rushed over to her side, after you will have a private meeting with him, she nodded at the CEO
The devil....Yes that was the best prodigy she could compare him to. His gaze was back at her, with a smile, a man came forward ushering her as he cleared the way for her to walk through.
Both parties sat at each end of the long table aware of the reporters that had their hands hovering over their laptops.
A contract was brought to the front; her manager quickly collected it and looked thorough, giving it to her to sign as she scribbled her signature. With an applause from the audience they both stood up and she shook hands with him.
Nodding at him, without sparing him another look, she marched forward entering an office isolated from all the paparazzi, the man earlier spoke first.
"Have your seat" he pointed at the chairs, taking a seat they also sat.
"Though all contracts might have been signed ", I need to go over some of the important ones, private information about new launches, products and other clues to events of the company are to be kept confidential.
Your image is absolutely necessary to be non scandalous as it is right now we don't want anything staining the lox corporation reputation.
You are mandated to attend parties function, events, anniversary that concern the company"
While he rambled on and on, His gaze was fixated on her, she tried to look away most times but her gaze held confusion more than anything.
"Since that is all, you may leave" Since all of them fixated their gaze at me
" Since that is clear, I assume we have no issues " He glanced at her while she returned it with a nod.
"I need privacy with Miss Elsa, you can go on, I have a few things to discuss with her" Her eyes widened, obviously surprised, but she just nodded and they left us alone in that office.
He first broke the silence "I'm proud of you" he said flashing a smile, I had gotten used to it as love, but itself rather disheartening now. She hadn't expected that at the very least, yet she smiled.
I know you have questions, how, when all of this happened and what happened back then all of it was just.
"I don't understand, you" her voice cut him off standing her ground as she stood up "Thanks for the compliment. I appreciate and I hope you will keep a distance Mr william"
"A respectable one" she gave a polite nod before walking towards the door.
"Elsa" That warm voice and she stopped in her tracks. He grabbed her arm and turned her to face him.
His scent seeped into her nose, leaving her weak in the knees.
Smothering a groan, she took a step backward, stood there unshaken as she stared into his eyes, the enmity was too deep to go unnoticed.
" CEO William, I do not know you, I only know my contract"
He swallowed hard,his eyes bore into her leaving unspoken words hanging in the air.
After five years, they sure have more than a lot to say to each other, but Elsa she despises him now. Insisting she didn't remember him was surely the best solution.
"Congratulations" he said, taking a step backwards and smiled again.
"Thank you "with a curt nod she walked away.
A car pulled up in front of the street, journalists rushed to probe the Bentley that just pulled up to the lox company.
A tall imposing figure, with a stand out tailored suit that cling to every part of his body like it was specially meant to be.
He possessed the kind of jawline that could break hearts, running his hands through his perfectly styled hazelnut hair, he removed his sunglasses to reveal green eyes like the deep forest darting through the crowd.
Until a familiar figure walked through, there was Elsa. He flashed a smile at her only for him to with the saddest expression that he had ever seen on her.
"Didn't the contract go well" He marched towards her with a worried expression about her, his hands frozen hovering inches from her face.
Even wrapped in sadness, she outshone every spotlight in the room.
"Damon" her words barely above a whisper when cameras started flashing again everyone was surprised to see Elsa leave early.
"Had she lost favor with the new CEO." Whispers filled the air.
"Come on " His wrapped his hands around her waist guiding her into the car as he protected her from every camera flashing at her.
"Doesn't matter, let's leave here fast" she gave a weak smile to the overprotective Damon.
She didn't bother to protest as she let him guide her into the passenger car.
Her gaze lingered at the lox corporate she knew was sometimes imminent. But she was going to play weak, she had lived that way for too long and was going to forget totally about him.
She didn't bother to protest as she let him guide her into the passenger seat.
it doesn't matter, A monster should be hunted down.
Just the way he abandoned her he was a monster and she would avenge herself, her dignity and her baby.
He would pay.
To Beevy Hill" I flashed a small smile as Damon instructed the driver. Damon reached for insulated paper bag beside him, placing it gently on my lap
