Not easy as it looks

Chapter- 5 (Huh!! what he thinks of himself?)

Rose's POV

Today I woke up early before alarm could buzz..and ruin my morning. I took early morning shower and enjoyed the cold breeze..letting it play with my hairs. Right now, I'm at the park drinking the sunrise view from my eyes taking it to my heart. Such an incredible view of sky... forming the sunrise.

Different colors in the sky..are forming and gathering from different directions to welcome the sun, as if sky is being reflected by a prism to break it into different rainbow colors...it is such an amazing breathtaking experience. I am loving it.

Air is reaching freely to the lungs...bringing each and every cell of the body to the life.

New journey is starting today, That poker face agreed to assign the project to me. I'm getting the intution that he is going to do everything..to make me quit and laugh at me.

"well girlll....he has to do that. You provoked him and insulted him" My inner voice reminded me. I nodded in agreement.

It is true.. that day I went overboard..but that stupid poker face first insulted me...and I just retaliated, so from where this bloody guilty conscience knocking.

"well whatever, leave it...it already happened" My inner voice comforted me.

I sighed deeply and agreed with her. "well tell me one thing..what was happening yesterday..you were quite different..Ahem ahem!! ...I sensed love in the air" My cool inner vooice (who never stops surprising me) asked me..

I can bet she can never leave the opportunity to trap me. I cringed at her interrogation..and replied to her that she is going overboard..it's better to land on the ground. She pouted and shook her head in disbelief..saying that I'm impossible.

My phone beeped..and reminded me that it's been two hours already since I came to the park.

I dusted myself and headed towards the house..from today on I'll need to work with that poker face Alex. Liwant yesterday night texted me that for this project..I'll have to work with him and tolerate him till successful execution of this project. So, I'll have to report t Alex from today on.

I shivered at the thought of working with that cold demon. I quickly got ready..I can't afford to get late and give him chance to pick on me.

I put on light lip gloss..and simple floral sky blue dress paired with small earrings matching the dress and half inch heel. After having wonderful breakfast..I left for the work and texted Liwant that I left for work.

I took taxi to reach Alex's office. "wow....!! such a huge building with marvellous architecture design...that poker face is indeed filthy rich" I thought to myself.

I entered into the office..and reached to the reception.

"Hello, I am Tessa. How can I help you?" a young pretty receptionist asked me warmly.

"Hello, I am Rose..from Mr. Liwant's office. I've been assigned on the new project" I replied with gentle voice.

"Oh yes mam! Mr. Alexander informed me. Follow me, I'll show you your cabin." she said with a smile.

"Thankyou" I said.

I followed her..we entered into the lift. She pressed 32nd floor. "oh god! I'll have to go this high daily?" I asked her (stressed seeing the floor number). she chuckled at my statement and assured me that within few days I'll become habitual of it.

The doors open finally..and we reached at the designated floor. "I felt like I'll choke in the lift" my drama queen inner voice put on an act.

I rolled my eyes at her statement and followed the way to my cabin. Tessa showed me my cabin and handed over the keys to me. "if there will be any problem or you'll need any help..free to call me" Tessa told me and gave me her number.

"okay..thankyou Tessa" I replied her. Then she left and I entered into my cabin.

It's beautifully designed from within.. bookshelf is on left side with pretty good collection of books, small paintings are hung on the right side, working table is on the front having laptop over it with some creative penholders, printer setup is in the corner. "seems comfortable cabin" I thought to myself. I approached to the working table and sat on the chair. It is comfortable.

I stood up to pick some books from shelf and take a look.

"hmm..collection is quite amazing which I can prefer in my free time" I thought to myself while checking on books. I found one of the book's title interesting..so I took it. As I turned back I collapsed with something.."wait wait..it's someone..it's cold demon..when did he come" My inner voice asked me.

"Oh..! I'm..I'm sorry Mr. Alexander" I stuttered.

"That's ok..I came to check if everything is available here what you'll need for work or not, but I found you standing before bookshelf...so I approached to take a look what are you doing here" He said while going away from me.

"yes, everything is available what is needed for the work Mr. Alexander. If there will be anything which will be needed I'll inform you." I said formally.

He nodded and explained why this project is very important for the company..and the status of competitors who are keeping close watch on this project and our company's move.

I agreed with him and assured him to give my best. After that he left for his cabin. I relaxed and let out the breath which I was holding..I don't know what aura he carries around him that I even forget to breathe.

I let out a deep sigh and settled myself on my table. I checked my e-mail where Mr. Alexander sent me the mails regarding the project details. I opened the mail and downloaded the attached file. I was about to start working..telephone next to the laptop started ringing. I picked up.

"Hello, this is Rose. who's this" I asked.

"Hello Ms. Rose, come to my cabin and take the files regarding the project." Mr. Alexander said.

"ok. but.....where is your cabin" I asked questioningly.

"Next to yours" he said.(I'm sure he chuckled at my question).

"why I do stupid things or ask stupid questions whenever it's him. something is definitely wrong with him." I said to myself and left for his cabin.

I knocked and then entered into his cabin. It's a huge cabin amazingly professionally designed one, a huge working table with a big system attched to it, sitting couch and he focused on the computer.

he handed me over the files and gave me a pendrive. Suddenly doors of his cabin burst opened, a perfectly curved young woman entered giving death glare to me and then shifting it to Mr. Demon.

"what do you think of yourself?..you were supposed to meet me. Why didn't you pick up my phone?" she shouted at him.

I excused myself.. left their personal matter behind. "who was that woman? his girlfriend?" my inner voice asked me..as if I carry all the answers.

I looked at her straight shrugging my shoulders..giving the look of how would I know. "Does that poker face knows how to manage relations" my stunningly amazing inner voice said in sarcastic tone.

I just shrugged the thought and went back to work. while I was doing the work suddenly the scene of me collapsing with him next to bookshelf popped into my mind. I felt all the blood rushing to my cheeks. urghhhh!!! what is this reaction I'm getting.

After finishing today's work I reported to Mr. Alexander and left for home.
