CHAPTER 3: A Feelings?
1101 Words
ANOTHER delightful morning dawned on me as I stood on still on the terrace of my mansion, feeling the touch of the sunlight on my tanned skin while I'm having my coffee. I’m at my comfort this day, feeling like I’m being filled with inspiration.
After I finished my coffee, I went back inside of my own mansion to prepare. Mr. Imari and I will meet again for a more comprehensive discussion about his offer. I know he had a great discussion yesterday even though I didn't hear any of it, but he will discuss beyond great today because this will be a one-on-one talk. Owner to owner.
I'm actually smiling right now, maybe because we'll meet again. You see, I immediately felt a strange energy flowing through my body as I threw my first sight at him, and I couldn’t understand the butterflies inside my stomach. This is the first time I felt something like this, and I could say I want to feel it every day.
I was still deep in daydreaming when I was suddenly disturbed by the ringing of my cellphone. I slowly walked over where I place my phone and looked at who was calling, it’s Erika. I quickly answered the call.
"Good morning, Sunshine." My warm greeting to her. My morning is just as good as better. Mr. Imari caused such a good vibe to me. He removes the negatives that surround me.
"Good day Mr. Fuentes, where are you? Mr. Imari is already here in your office." Erika said on the other line which caused me to panic.
What?! Why? What time is it?
I turned to my watch and was shocked to see that it is already nine in the morning. Goodness I didn’t notice the time. I think I was daydreaming too much.
"I'm coming," I said coldly then dropped the call.
I immediately took a shower and got ready. Then I immediately went to the office, fortunately my driver is a fast driver. He was a racer before.
When I reached the building where my office is located, I immediately hurried to my office. My heart was pounding so much due to the nervousness and running I did. My sweat was dripping a little.
I slowly twisted the knob of the door of my office when I reached its presence. I caught Erika inside having a fine talk with Mr. Imari. His eyes landed on me passionately when he noticed me, and it felt like heaven for me.
"Good morning, Mr. Fuentes," Mr. Imari greeted me as he launched his sweetest smile. Goodness! The heartbeat gets stronger again.
Make it stop before I blush!
"Good morning, Mr. Fuentes, I've already booked you at a restaurant nearby for your meeting. The spot is beyond beautiful, it's a VIP table." Erika said which caused me a smile. I'm really lucky with her. I have no worries at all.
"Good morning to you two too," I greeted as I looked at them one by one. Then I focused my gaze on Mr. Imari, "I'm sorry I'm late."
"It's fine, Mr. Fuentes. Actually, it was my bad because I was too early. I was just excited about the project I'm going to propose to you today," he laughed.
I chuckled softly, "No, it was actually my bad. I lingered on my hot coffee." I joked.
"Mr. Fuentes, I'm really to blame." Mr. Imari said as he took a step near me.
I gulped quietly as I felt the strange current inside my body, again! I shook my head slightly for my attention not to be stolen again. I took a deep breath and looked at Mr. Imari earnestly.
"Shall we go?" I asked.
The two of them agreed and then we all immediately headed straight to a fansy hotel just nearby, in no time. As we entered the restaurant, the receptionists took care of us right away, as if they were glad that we had arrived.
They showed us our VIP table and there we had peace. Our table was full of teas, coffees and some of the desserts. We didn't come here to eat, we're here because we want to be able to talk properly without being disturbed.
"I'm proposing you the Getty's Resort," Mr. Imari said with a smile. Imari once opened the envelope he was holding, "In this area, I found that there are a lot of people, and the surroundings are eye catching." he started discussing as he laid the inside of the envelope on top of the table. "What they lack is just a resort. Now, I want to make a resort in that city, make it very beautiful to be the center of attraction. Based on my analysis, we can get a huge income from this resort." He continued.
His discussion went even further. I was still distracted by his beauty a few times but I took it all in and ignored it. I did everything to focus on what his lips were saying, and I did it successfully.
His proposal was excellent, it's a resort in a beautiful place that has no resort yet. He intends to make it a tourist spot which is a good idea because the place is also beautiful and a perfect spot to build a tourist spot. Mr. Imari is indeed smart. I can’t wait for our joining forces in this business.
After he discussed that, he right away called his lawyer and we signed some papers saying we both agreed on this great project. Then we thought we could leave the restaurant already since it's done.
As we were walking out, my hand accidentally hit the bulky thing amidst his legs. It was as soft as a marshmallow. I didn’t mean that! and we were both shocked to that. His eyes widened when he looked at me, so did mine. What the hell?!
I blinked and instantly gulped, "S-Sorry!" I quickly apologized and averted my eyes from him. I suddenly felt a strange heat on my cheek. Goodness!
"It's nothing," he said with a smile.
Why so? He still managed to be professional even at the awkward situation like what had just happened. It made him more charming. Does he want me to hit my hand on his pet again?
"See you again, Mr. Fuentes. I'm excited for our project. Thank you for accepting my offer." Mr. Imari's farewell.
"It is nothing, Mr. Imari. I'm looking forward to it," I said before I finally entered inside my office.
