FALLING IN LOVE WITH A DEMON

CHAPTER THREE-OUT OF SIGHT

As I sat in my office, my mind was filled with a mixture of emotions that I had never experienced before - a feeling of confusion and curiosity that left me perplexed.

The room around me was adorned with gifts, yet my eyes were drawn to the man standing outside my office door.

I gazed intently at him, captivated by his presence and eager to learn more about him.

My curiosity was piqued, and I couldn't shake the feeling that this encounter was going to change everything.

As I reached into the chocolate box he had brought, my heart began to race with anticipation.

I carefully picked out one of the chocolates and brought it to my lips. The smooth and creamy texture of the chocolate melted in my mouth, leaving a sweet and satisfying taste.

But as I savored the flavor, a strange feeling overcame me. Tears began to roll down my cheeks uncontrollably.

No one had ever given me chocolate before, not like this. My mom had given me some before, but this was different.

The warmth of the gesture touched me deeply, thawing my heart which was cold as stone until that moment.

I was left stunned, my eyes still fixed on him, as I tried to comprehend the emotions that had taken over me.

I gently closed my eyes and surrendered myself to the moment, allowing myself to fully embrace the warm and comforting feeling that enveloped me.

It was a feeling that reassured me that I was not alone in this world and that someone was out there who truly cared for me.

I held onto this moment, embracing it with all my senses, and made a conscious effort to etch every single detail into my memory, so that I could revisit it in the future, as vividly as if I were experiencing it all over again.

I wanted to make sure that this beautiful feeling would remain with me for a long time to come, and never fade away.

The experience was surreal and hard to explain. Although I didn't know the person, there was an instant connection that tugged at my heart.

It was as if he had the ability to fill the void of loneliness within me, and the feeling was indescribable.

As I laid my eyes on him, my heart skipped a beat and my mind went blank. I couldn't help but wonder if this was the elusive feeling they call "love at first sight." At that moment, I knew deep down that I had fallen head over heels for him.

The constant thought of whether he found me intriguing or if he simply did it out of sympathy or worse, just to play with my emotions, has been lingering in my mind.

However, even with all these uncertainties, I wouldn't mind if he had any of these motives as long as it makes me feel alive again.

"I am willing to go to any length and endure any challenge just to relive that sublime feeling once again. A smile graces my lips now, as I finally understand what it means to have it all.

I am blessed with riches beyond measure, yet at this moment, I feel like the poorest of souls - devoid of love.

He, who had just become my beloved, makes me yearn for more of this beautiful emotion that fills my heart with such warmth and tenderness.

"As my eyelids fluttered open, I gazed towards the doorway once again. However, to my dismay, the figure that stood there just moments ago had vanished.

The mere thought of him being out of the reach of my eyes made me feel an overwhelming sense of loneliness and emptiness within.

I stepped out into the open air, my heart still yearning for his presence. The more I walked, the more I craved his company, as if the mere act of moving forward could bring him back to me.

My eyes scanned the surroundings, searching for any sign of him, but he was nowhere to be found.

The ache inside me grew stronger, and I found myself becoming a stalker, consumed by the need to see him again.Despite my efforts to remain inconspicuous, it seemed that my presence had caused quite a stir among the people around me.

Everyone was curious about my movements and what I was searching for, but the expression on my face was enigmatic enough to deter them from asking.

Despite their curiosity, they couldn't quite figure out what it was that I was looking for.After standing still for a moment, I took notice of my secretary's presence as she walked into the office.

As I began walking back into my office, I called her in to discuss something with me.

Even as I made my way back to my desk, no one in the room dared to meet my gaze.

The tension in the air was palpable, and I couldn't help but wonder what was causing such unease among my workers.

In an effort to gather complete and accurate information about the newly hired staff, I approached the task with the utmost discretion.

I was mindful of the fact that my inquiry could be perceived as an attempt to gather details about the individuals who had presented me with a gift, causing a stir among myself and all those present.

To avoid any suspicion, I took great care to frame my request in a way that did not draw attention to any particular individual.

I was determined to gather as much information as possible without giving away my true intentions so that I could better understand the skills, experience, and qualifications of the new staff members who caught my heart.

In the past, I was known for being uptight when staff mixed work and personal matters. However, I found myself in this situation I was too curious to learn more about him.

Despite my eagerness, I did not want to come across as too intrusive or nosy. I tried to contain my excitement and politely asked her to speed up her movement.

I still felt a sense of urgency to know more about this person, but I did not want to compromise my professional relationships.
