Chapter7: Meeting HIM
1446 Words
I was still making up my mind on how to approach this meeting when she asked me to follow her. With a pout, I followed but kept on thinking about the questions I can ask the CEO. The name Gabriel was stuck in my mind. I was wondering if he is the same guy, God asked me to find, but quickly I shook off that thought. How can he be the same person? He is the CEO of Worth Corp.
Soon, we reached a partially tinted glass door, with the name ‘Gabriel Worth, CEO Worth Corporation'. My heart suddenly started beating fast. I had never been nervous before and this was a new feeling.
I was still trying to relax when Ms. David knocked on the door and a strong male voice ordered to enter. After hearing his voice, I just wanted to run away. But, something held me back.
I had to overcome this strange feeling. Ms. David informed the concerned person about my arrival and he ordered to send me in.
When I entered the CEO’s office, it was beyond imagination. The subtle shades on the walls, million-dollar wall art, chandelier, even the furniture shouted extravagance. I was completely lost in the grandeur of the large office with a beautiful outside view when a super good looking male around 30 with a head tilted downwards caught my attention. His aura was different. After seeing him, I felt relieved although he looked arrogant and self-complacent.
I was engrossed in checking him out when he suddenly raised his head with golden-brown hair and frowned. I had completely forgotten I came here for a meeting and he was doing me a favor, therefore, I regained my composure and immediately wished him, “Good Morning Sir! My name is Samara Agnes, and thanks for meeting me”.
He seemed to be thinking something but with a frown, he still gestured for me to sit on the couch placed opposite his table on the far left-hand side near the wall. After turning towards the couch I closed my eyes for a few seconds so that my heart race could get better. But, even then I could feel his eyes on me and my heart kept on racing.
I reluctantly sat on the couch without saying anything and raised my eyes to see him.
He slowly moved from his table like a lion ready to pounce on his prey and started coming towards me. I could feel my heart in my throat and my mouth was getting dry.
That’s when he said in his pompous tone, “Who do you work for?” and sat on a comfortable recliner opposite the couch.
I had no clue what he was talking about. When suddenly I remembered I came here for a meeting. I looked at him with big round eyes and gulped.
I had to think of an answer quickly. So, I lied, “Well, I don’t work for anyone. I am a student and to complete my project I needed to interview a renowned person.”
The excuse of studying in a college was definitely lame but it was the only solution that came to my mind to stall him off.
I was silent for a while, as several thoughts ran through my mind, “I feel Ms. Wallace has achieved great success and she is the best candidate for this interview.” I finished abruptly.
He looked at me with an amused look, thought something, and lowered his eyes.
It seemed he knew I was lying but was still playing along.
Then, he asked an unusual question, “What is your opinion about me?”
I was stunned.
When I looked at him, his deep blue eyes, oceans of unanswered thoughts, were saying something to me which I could not comprehend, but I was getting lost in them.
I wanted to see this face every second of every day. He was perfect with a chiseled face, sharp nose, flawless skin, and eyes that could make anyone melt.
I was still ogling him when my subconscious told me to wake up. I blinked several times and again looked at him. It felt as if he could hypnotize me. I shook my head lightly at this silly thought and answered while stuttering, “I guess it is obvious. You are the CEO of Worth Corporation, so I could not get a better candidate for the interview. Thanks.” I was lost in the thoughts when I realized I had to get the answers from Kristen and not Mr. Worth.
I was dumbfounded. I sighed hard to rectify my mistake, and then I suddenly spoke, “Mr. Worth, I really appreciate your gesture to help me while Ms. Wallace is out. However, I need to interview a female candidate to clear the exam.”
After hearing my reply, Mr. Worth slightly nodded and went back to his table.
It seemed he was absorbing the information I just threw at him. He frowned and then unexpectedly said, “You can send the questions to my assistant. She will let you know when Ms. Wallace will arrive.”
He looked at me and said with suspicion, “I will ask Ms. Wallace to cooperate with you Ms. Agnes, but you will have to come to collect the answers.”
“Ohhhh”, I stretched the word as if I was not happy to come back. That was in reality not true. I could see his handsome face every day and every night. Thinking about night, my mind wandered towards his full lips and how his lips will taste, how I will shiver when his hands will touch me; the raunchy thoughts gave me goosebumps and my eyes widened at my wild imagination.
I was flustered with my audacious behavior when suddenly a knock on the office door caught my attention. It was Ms. David who was summoned by Mr. Worth, “Give Ms. Agnes my personal email id and contact number. Do notify me when her questions arrive in the mail, understood?” he said authoritatively.
She looked scared but still nodded.
When I raised my eyes, I saw him looking at my lips and he quickly looked away.
My heart started beating again; I licked my lips and managed to say, “Thanks.”
He was affecting me in a way I had never felt before.
I gulped and followed Ms. David out of the office without giving him a second look.
After reaching her desk, she handed me a sophisticated plastic card with his name and contact details.
She politely spoke, “Ms. Agnes, to get the interview answers you will have to come to the office again after a week.”
“Yes, Mr. Worth did tell me,” I replied instantly.
However, my heart was racing inside my chest. I could not comprehend my reaction. I had to find a way to stay as far away from him as I could and at the same time get the answers I desire.
“Where are you lost?” Ms. David glared.
I opened and closed my mouth several times before I could utter, “Well, I will be here. Just give me a call whenever the paper gets ready.”
With a sigh of relief, I exited the building.
On the way out, I was thinking, “Wow, I thought I could work there and find out more about this Kristen Wallace.”
“Thank God, I did not say I wanted to work for the company. It would have been frightening.” I released a sigh of relief and started for my apartment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From the window of his office, Gabriel saw her leave the building. She looked perplexed from the top, but he was feeling a tornado of emotions. When she entered his office, her first look was enough to kill him. He was so lost in her beauty that he forgot she was the enemy and his doom.
He could feel her heartbeat and her magnificent scent. When she licked those naturally red lips, he wanted to suck them forever. He wanted to claim her as his, but she was forbidden fruit.
He could not have her.
This thought made him so angry that the weather started getting gloomy. Overshadow of clouds made the sky dark and the roar of the thunder could frighten even the bravest.
He was lost in his thoughts when he saw two entities approaching Samara. He frowned. She was in danger but who were the entities that could defy his orders.
She was his to hurt, his to destroy, his to CLAIM.
It was impossible to have her, but he was God of Hell, known to bend the rules.
With that thought, he smiled and vanished to another world.
