Chapter 2 | Meeting Mr. Jones

979 Words
My alarm goes loudly off at 7 in the morning, making me groan and jolt out of dreams, I sigh and rub my temple, taking my blonde hair out of my face as I stood up, shutting my alarm off and starting to get ready for work. Jumping into the hot warm shower, I washed really quick to make sure to not be late. I shut the water off and got dressed in my mid-knee length of a black skirt, with my black blouse and 3-inch heels. I applied light make up while putting my blonde hair into a perfect bun. I placed my very special necklace on my neck, making sure it was on correct. My eyes viewed the time from my phone telling me I needed to start moving to be able to get their early or at least on time. I stuffed my phone into my purse and looked into my mirror one last time before waking down my steps into my living room. I grabbed my car keys from the wooden table and stepped outside making sure I locked my penthouse door. I continue walking into the elevator into the lobby, clicking the unlock button on my car keys to unlock my car door, I stepped inside sitting my things down, turned on the engine and drove off to work to meet Mr. Jones for the first time. *** The click of my heels on the familiar tile floors meant I was on time and in the right place. I strode into the elevator of the building, as I click the top floor, as I wait. Ding! The elevator opens on the top floor, my hands started to shake because I was nervous, my job will be different working for this Mr. Jones. I straightened my black skirt, held my head high in determine. I couldn't let him get to me and make me nervous, it might be different but it's just a job, nothing else. My hand reached my bosses door, I began to turn the cold handle slowly but instantly released. What was I thinking, maybe he'd like me to knock first. Instead of just opening the door, I knocked three times. "Come in." I hear David's voice, I breathe in, then open the door to reveal David at his office desk, with the back of a black jet hair person facing David. "Hello, Miss Swan, please have a seat on the chair," David speaks, gesturing me to the black comfy chair next to Mr. Jones. I nod and sat down as I was told. Then Mr. Jones turns looking at me, "Nice to meet you I'm Killian Jones, new Boss of this building." He opens his hands for me to shake. "Almost new boss," David adds is a soft grunt. But I ignore his comment, staring at this goddess that was in front of me. He looked even more beautiful in person and up close. I licked my lips dry, rubbing my sweaty palms on my skirt. "You alright love?" He breaks me out of my awkward staring. God his accent is amazing. "Sorry, just got off track, Hi I'm Emma Swan, you're new assistant," I say shaking his firm hand, feeling an electrifying shock run through me. "Almost new assistant," David adds. I playfully roll my eyes at David, "Alright David we get it, now you guys can continue your work." I laugh. David sends me a smile, then focus back on the signing of papers with Mr. Jones, "Alright Killian, just a few more paperwork and this building is all yours." He says as he continues to talk about some things to cover over, but I stopped continuing listening not being able to focus. I continue to stare at Mr. Jones appearance, the way is deep ocean blue eyes caught in the sunlight that was coming through the window, or the way is pink lips were thin, or the way is black jet hair looked so soft and smooth. If only I could just touch— Woah there, what am I thinking? I'm supposed to be as far as possible away, not close. "Thank you for taking this building Killian, I'm glad you did," David say, standing up from his desk. I must have been thinking long enough to notice that they were done talking and signing papers. "The pleasure's all yours, I'm glad you'd asked me to take over." Mr. Jones said standing up from his chair. I also began to awkward stand up from my seat. "Make sure you take real good care of Miss. Swan, she's a hell of a good assistant." David smiles, showing off his white pearly teeth. I return his smile, just listening to them finish and not intrude the gentlemen. Mr. Jones smirks at me, "I'm sure she is." What? Did he just smirk at me in front of David, oh my goodness. I nod as the men shake each other hands. "So now that this meeting is over, I'll be downstairs to get the workers to remove your things while I get mine." Mr. Jones said to David, he then turns to face me, "Nice meeting you again Miss. Swan, hoping we get along and work side by side for a very long time." I gave him a soft smile, "Indeed." He seems too nice, why did the article say all these bad things about him? He's far from what I imagine. But then again you'll never actually know someone till you actually know them. At that, Mr. Jones left the office towards downstairs to the lobby. "He seems nice." I found my voice saying to Mr. Nolan. "Well I think this is wants best for him, I'm hoping you'd help him see the light." David smiles, patting my shoulder before leaving out of the office. See the light? What does that mean?
