Charles (POV)

I was in my office standing in front of the window, sipping my coffee peaceful.

But my peaceful moment was short cut by a knock at the door.

"Come in" I said while coming back to my chair and placing the empty cup on the table.

My personal assistant Joey walked inside carrying a notepad in his hand as usual.

"Good morning sir"

"Good morning Joey" I greeted back taking my seat comfortably and opening my laptop.

"Sir, you have meeting at 2pm with Mr. Adam Cooper and his wife Olivia Cooper –"

As soon as I heard name Olivia my eyes snapped at Joey and he stopped saying, looking at me confused.

"Olivia?" I asked him

"Yes sir, Mr. Adam Cooper's wife. The couple you met last month in a family function" he explained and then it registered me he is talking about someone else.

"Yes, yes I remember" I cleared my throat and asked him to arrange things for the meeting.

With that Joey left.

Olivia. This name is constantly on my mind from past few weeks. I have only known her for few days but something about her always attracts me to her

Honestly, I went to that orphanage just because mom asked me. But when I saw Olivia there, I kinda knew she visit here frequently. So, just to see her, I go there too.

Watching her play with kids and laughing at their jokes, is a sight to watch. I can stand and watch her all day smiling ears to ears while occasionally running her hands through her long beautiful brown hair.

Ugh, what's happening to me??

I want to see her. I just want to see her right now. Yes, right now.

But you have meeting. My brain reminded

I don't care. Right now I don't really care.

Grabbing the phone, I called Joey inside my office.

"Yes sir?" He asked clearly having no idea why was I in so hurry.

"Cancel today's meeting. Schedule it some other day" I said getting up from my chair, straightening my coat.

"But sir, you have back to back meeting from tomorrow. It's -

Before he can finished, I glared at him causing him to shut his mouth up.

"Do as I say"

"Sorry sir"

"Now excuse me I have to go somewhere" with that I left my office.

While I was sitting on backseat of my car, there was this small smile playing on my lips.

"You are smiling. That's so unusual" my driver/bodyguard Kevin commented looking through the rear-view mirror.

I rolled my eyes at him but deep down I know that's true. I have always been the one who keep a straight face and have a permanent scowl on face.

But from few days I have been in a good mood. How? I am always collected when it comes to my feeling but I don't know what's happening to me

"I'm wondering what the reason behind that smile is" Kevin again speaks teasing me a little.

"God, Kevin. Just focus on road" I groaned. That made him laugh.

I ignored him and looked out the window.

After a while the car came to halt

"We are here" Kevin announced

As soon as he said that I bolted out of the car. But I stopped between composing myself, moving my neck left to right.

Taking a deep breath, I opened the door of the restaurant smiling but it was soon vanished when I saw what was happening inside.

Olivia was looking at a guy, while his hands were on her hair. They were sitting so close, that made my blood boiled.

They were so engrossed in each other that they didn't even noticed I was standing right in front of them.

To get their attention, I cleared my throat loudly and Olivia eyes snapped towards me, her eyes widened in shock.

"Mr Maxwell" she gasped.

"Mr Maxwell" she gasped
