HER LOOKS
851 Words
"Astonishing... that's my kind of girl," Funaki said with a quiet giggle.
His eyes locked onto her like guided missiles moments away from striking.
"She's feisty." He said in a low tone
The first week passed, and everyone's attempts to win over the irresistible beauty proved futile. Despite her charm, breathtaking looks, and seemingly kind nature, no one managed to get close to her, she turns them regardless of whom it might be.

To Damon, however, stood his ground. Unlike the others, he refused to be swept away by her allure. The scars left by his ex still haunted him, making it impossible to let anyone into his heart. Every memory tightened its grip on him, keeping him from wandering into fantasies about her.
Besides, Anna's disappearance remained a mystery he had yet to see through, and until he uncovered the truth, romance was the last thing on his mind.
He blamed himself for his actions and for the uncertainty that clouded his mind. His heart brimmed with the sorrow he carried every day. Memories could be forgotten with time, but they could never truly be erased.
Damon wasn't getting a good feeling about any of this. The way Cecilia treated him so kindly while ignoring everyone else felt completely out of place. Something about it didn't sit right with her. She was definitely up to something he hadn't uncovered yet.
Instead of clouding his judgment, his intrusive thoughts kept him alert, urging him to stay on guard and question every move she made.
She walked over towards them to properly introduce herself . Stopping in front of Damon
“Thanks for helping out the other day” she offered a gentle smile
“I was assigned to your desk to get more insight from a senior risk analyst.” I hope it gets interesting working with you. She said
They both exchanged pleasantries. She reached her hand for a shake and he was kind of slow to respond . He didn't take it immediately
Funaki shot him a pointed look all written over his face, telling him it's rude to keep a lady waiting,no words just looks as he signals to him
it lingered in both their minds long after they let go.
Something felt off. His mind was clouded ,he wondered how her hand could be so soft and smooth ,it had felt like brushing against the gentle morning breeze.The touch was fleeting, She never wanted to let go. A few more seconds were all it would take to make him fall head over heels for her.Just a handshake could start this eruption of self doubt ,she felt for him a bit ,his shyness and act of neglecting his emotion made her feel she's a woman to shake his thoughts .
Funaki just stood there watching like a reflecting mirror, shining his teeth and waiting for his turn for a shake he didn't get ,he just waved to get her attention but she turned away walking in the wrong direction as if she knew her way round the office.
”Hello ,you surely know your way around here ,you're heading the wrong direction “
He said acting in a manner showing he cared less and acting bossy as she followed.
“The only fun thing about work is getting to own your own office” she said as he leads her “
“Which is?” He replied .
They both got to the office and he kept wondering one silly excuse she might cook up for an answer to give him
He pushed the door knob slowly.
“Ladies first “ He gestured for her to come in.
She walked right past him, her thighs got his attention showcasing the tight pressed clothing against her bum, swaying and making sure he's caught in her net as she walks slowly towards taking her seat
they both sat down without exchanging any words, Cecilia legs crossed with her short office skirt showing her smooth sleek body ,a perfect creation that took lots of time to create shouldn't be this evil with thoughts.
"what do we do ?" .she asked.
Her voice breaking the long five minutes silence in the office
"Have we met before ? He asked.
You remind me of someone I knew. He kept thinking of the resemblance Anna and Cecilia both had in common ,not realizing that they were actually family. And for a moment he saw the looks of his ex in her .
"Am not sure" she replied with a faint smile. Then there was silence for over two minutes before she decides to head back
After showing her to her office, Damon walked out her office still thinking where he might have seen her before. Then he realized she looked like his ex Anna but he shook it off his head and concluded it was just a coincidence.
Funaki was still standing there wondering why Cecilia didn't shake him and choose to shake Damon, jealousy filled his mind.
Then Damon walked towards him interrupting his thoughts. They both went back to their office.
