"Did you know the CEO prior to this meeting?" Director James asked as we drove back to the office.
We all were on one bus, which was assigned for this very project. I didn't need anyone telling me who the question was directed to and even if I had doubts, their unwavering stare on me would have cleared it all off.
"No sir, today is our first time meeting" I would have surely remembered if I had met such a good-looking man before today. The second he walked in, he took the attention of everyone in the room and something about him made me feel flutters in a good way.
It scares me...
Not only was he a young and successful man, but his looks could also rival his money as well. Cameron looked really good but with Mr. Miles, his looks were out of this world. It made me recall BTS Taehyung.
Something about the two made them have some sort of similarities but with Taehyung, the first thought in your mind is what a beautiful man, and with Mr. Miles, what a handsome man.
Handsome wasn't enough to describe his looks so I'll most likely pick ethereal
"It didn't seem that way though" Louis murmured but since he was seated close to me, I heard him clearly
I understood why they would think I had known him before today, all through our presentation and even before then I could feel his eyes on me surprisingly it wasn't uncomfortable instead it brought some sort of contentment in me.
I was so conscious of myself, I wondered if I had something on my face or hair that got him looking but then again his gaze wasn't the disgusting one. It was more of fascination
I loved the fact that his attention on me was undivided... what surprised me though was why he would care about plain unsophisticated Hazel when Bianca was in the room.
Bianca was one of those who you would describe as a living barbie. Everything about her was perfect
Hence the surprise when he didn't notice her presence but instead mine. I am certain we all knew he wasn't paying attention to the presentation but since he said he would be seeing us next time, I guess we were wrong and he was actually still paying attention.
The ride became silent after that but as we left the bus after arrival, Bianca called me
"Can I have a talk with you?" She requested
"Sure" I had no reason to say no and moreover I'm curious about what she has to say. I followed after her to the back balcony where was empty luckily
"Were you been honest when you said you didn't know Hunter before now?" Hunter?! Are they close enough to be on a first-name basis?
"Yes, I was. Today has to be my first time meeting him. Do you know him before now?... I'm sorry it's just I was shocked to hear you call his name" f**k Hazel. It's none of your business if they knew each other you know
"No I didn't know him, but it will only be a matter of time before we grow close enough for me to call his name however I like. Do you fancy him though?" Her question was surprising
Of course any lady with hormones will fancy him especially if he showed little attention towards her.
"I believe any lady will fancy him" I played it safe. I wasn't denying it neither was I acknowledging it
She chuckled "you have a point. But of course not every lady can have him. A good-looking and outstanding guy like him should go for their fellow good-looking and outstanding lady. I have noticed you and Cameron are close, you two will make a great couple" she smiled before leaving
I stood there in disbelief. How could, how did I let myself be insulted and degraded this much?!
Agreed Mr. Miles's look is perfection just like her's but it wasn't enough to be insulted by her was it?!
I went back to my seat blaming myself for not responding back. I can't let her believe I am easy to be bullied or that I am a pushover.
"Hey, you don't look good" Phil noticed
"Yeah, just tired" I couldn't tell him perfect Bianca was the reason for my mood.
"I missed you here though. It was so boring to not have my gossip partner around" OK so that made me smile, Phil and I have to be the most boring Coworkers around.
Aside from the good morning exchange and goodbyes we hardly converse so hearing him call me his gossip partner was indeed funny
"Oh Phil, I didn't know you could be sarcastic" I told him.
"Sarcasm! I wasn't been sarcastic though, I had indeed missed you" he said
"I'm honored" I smiled and we both went back to what we needed to do
"Do you have a minute to spare?" That was the message I saw after hearing my phone ding. The sender was Cameron
"Sure, where you at?" I haven't seen him all day and I have been too occupied with the bill presentation that we hardly met
"At the lobby" I stood up and went down to meet him
"Hi" he said as I neared him
"Hi" OK something is weird
"I'm sorry, I should have come up to meet you" he apologized leading me to the sofa
"No it's fine" that wasn't a lie. I had made the decision to go down on my own
"It's been a while and I just wanted to see you" he confessed.
OK heart, didn't you hear that, this is the time you should start beating fast don't you think so?!
OK then...
"I missed you too. How has been your day?" I did miss him
"Lonely, the building felt lonely knowing you weren't in" OK what's with them. Cameron is at least understandable but Phil's not at all
"Other workers will be heartbroken you know" I joked
"And I won't care" he shrugged
"Heartless" I laughed
"I doubt it. I have been feeling it beat for a while now" that was smooth. He had said that looking right at me.
I would have normally been shy by now but I wasn't affected by his look at all
How weird!
Hunter's
"I need her information, who she relates with... everything" I told my Gamma female. Gregor's wife is just as good at finding information on something just as the husband is
"Yes Alpha" she responded and I am certain she is smirking at the other end of this call
"Or is that stalking?" I questioned
"Of course that's stalking. This isn't your Gamma female talking to you but your annoying ass friend. Court her as every normal male would. Why go about investigating her. If I should tell you her favorite dish, color, or lingering even, would it still be special when she tells you? No i***t" indeed Danice is one of the only few who can insult me outrightly
"Thank you Danice for the kind lecture" I eye-rolled even when I knew she couldn't see
"You are welcome Alpha. I'm guessing it's mission aborted yes?" Of course it is. Like Danice said if I should investigate all this, it won't feel special anymore if I am ever close enough with her to reveal them
"Yes it is" I affirmed
"Thank you goddess" you can as well throw a party!
How did I get myself mixed with all these weird beings!
How weird are you Hazel!
