Jennifer Stewart is the CEO of her interior design company 'Jenns Interiors' and her company and offices are located at the downtown of Beverly Hills. She drives through her office at 9:00 am, everyone in the office has his or her own particular packing space and no one would ever dare pack at the CEO's space.

Jennifer drives towards her underground space packs her black G-wagon then tilts the mirror, she looks at herself then applies her red luscious lipstick, pulls back her shoulder length hair to show her pearl earrings.She grabs her expensive burking bag and coffee which was in her thermo cup. Jennifer's sense of fashion has always been modest especially when she goes to work. She wore a short black official skirt with a black fish net underneath, a white silk top tucked in into her skirt and a navy blue blazer accompanied with black six inch stiletto heels, not forgetting to wear her brown orchid perfume which has a cocoa and vanilla scent.

Jennifer opens up the car door gets off then turns off the car.She walks to the far end of the packing space then straight to the elevator and goes to the last floor of the building.

"Good morning madam," Shem greets Jennifer. Jennifer takes off her blazer and gives it to her as she walks towards her office.

Jennifer's office is luxurious and inspiring. When you enter the office, there is a white leather sofa with a beige fur rug over the back and a small fur blanket draped over the arm. The far wall has a large fireplace and mantle dominating the center with bookshelves lining it on either side. On the mantle, she has two antique clocks and a painting of her two beautiful kids, Ace and Bert. She also has a eight-five inch television on the shelf to the right. In front of the shelf there is a piano and a bench in dark walnut that Ace uses whenever she comes to her mother's office. Hanging on the wall above the piano is a flower art that Ace made. The view through the window panes is beautiful houses over the hills with different kind of trees, mostly palm trees. The side of the door is her lovely mahogany desk with a glass over the top. Her chair has wheels with leather seat and back. She also has a crystal like chandelier reflecting over her desk on the ceiling. Just metres beside the chandelier lies there is a ceiling fan that keeps the air moving in the office. The office is vibrant and dynamic with an air of creativity and innovation.

Shem is her office personal assistant. She's dark, short and curvy with dark brown eyes and long dark hair. She holds her boss's bag and coffee mug then puts it aside.

"Madam, I would like you to meet the qualified secretary we had recruited earlier online," says Shem in excitement.

"Tell him to come in," Jennifer seconds Shem as she pulls her chair and has a seat. She grabs her notebook and pen and as she scribbles something, the secretary appears.

"Hello madam!" Jennifer gets amazed by the deep seductive voice she just heard. As soon as she looks up her eyes click onto his charming face and appealing eyes.He stares at her in admiration and passion. She gets so amazed that she continued writing then paused. They gaze for a moment, her eyes lit up and face glows with love. Her breathe whooshes out her body and everything freezes for a second as her heart sang. The rest of the world seemed to vanish, she lost no time, she fell in love at first sight. She feels the world pausing for that tiny span of time. A feeling unknown, unexpected with joyous amazement. She felt content.

" Hi, how are you?" Jennifer greets him in confusion. He moves his right hand towards her and shakes her hand. They felt the air between them crackling like an electrical fire that must be contained quickly. He notices her rhinestone ring on her hand but ignores it.

"I'm well madam, I am Jordan Bett," he says boldly as he smiles at Jennifer.

Jordan Bett looked handsome, he had a dark skin tone, dark and short hair combed neatly, almond shaped brown eyes and attractive pink full lips covered with spade shaped beard. An earthy appealing scent swirled around him. His crescent of moon eyebrows were full and thick.He had an imperious nose and his angular cheekbones carved down towards his flinty jaw. His smile was soft like petals in a breeze. It was just enough to allow a gleam of white from the teeth below and a slight dimple on his cheek. His height was that of an NBA player and an appealing athletic physic. He wore a black single-breasted suit with clean lines, tie firmly tucked into his white shirt and black leather shoes.

"Call me Jennifer, it is a pleasure meeting you and welcome to Jenns interiors," Jennifer speaks to him professionally not showing any interest. She maintains her cool. She knows she has to keep it professional because she's married and has a family.

"My assistant, Shem will show you around and locate you to your office desk," she instructs Jordan to join Shem. Jordan walks out of the room feeling optimistic and confident.

Jennifer sighs as soon as he walked out of her office. She felt happy and lively as she moved on her office chair while biting her pen.A feeling she had missed for a long time. That particular moment was her little secret. She had a lot of thoughts running through her mind. She leans way back on her chair cranks her neck to watch the clouds roll by the sky and the beautiful view of hills, houses and trees as she thinks about Jordans charming face and his full of passion eyes.

'Focus! Focus,' she thought.

Shem and Jordan walk down the hall. Jordan is greeted by new faces of assistants seated in cubicles as they pass. Each cubicle had two employees, every person with their computers. At the end of a maze of offices, Shem shows Jordan his office which has a bookshelf filled with files, an amazing mahogany secretarial desk just right infront of the main entrance and a window almost the length of the office. Jordan walks in his office and places his laptop bag right on top of his desk. Beside his desk, there are flowers placed in white flower vases with pebbles.

Jordan fell in love with his divine space filled with drawers for safekeeping, a beautiful art of different kinds of interior designs. He takes off his blazer, puts it on his chair which had wheels then adjusts his tie. He grabs a glass in his tiny fridge then pours water in it from the office white water dispenser then gulps it. The water dispenser is right beside the waiting area where there is comfortable sofa sets for anyone that wants to be attended to. He then takes a seat as Shem wishes him the best of luck.

Samantha Wing, appears right after Shem left.

"Hi I'm Samantha Wing, the marketing manager," she says in confusion and excitement. She was distracted by Jordan's looks and physic.

"You're welcome at Jenn's interiors, if you need anything or any help let me know," says Samantha.

"The pleasure is mine," says Jordan as he smiles widely in gratitude showing off his crystal white polished teeth. Jordan has an attractive and influencial smile with a slight dimple on his cheek. Samantha stares in admiration then walks back to her cubicle.

Jordan is left excited and optimistic about his job.
