How to Unlove You?

Part 4: Yellow

And that's how she got that cute yellow and white off shoulder dress for Monday. The fitted skirt side got a yellow flower and two leaves on it at the white background. It stopped an inch from her knees. The upper body was in plain bright yellow that still hid her cleavage yet her collarbone was still displayed. Her sole protected by a two inch nude pointed stilleto and a printed black and white big shoulder bag.

Okay, that black and white shoulder bag can't go on with her attire that day but she got a lot of things. That's for all her feminine needs and she was hoping that he would not see that.

As she pushed the glass door at the reception desk to that small office at the eight floor, he's already there, sitting at the waiting room and punching his phone at half past seven. Leaning his back at that black chair's back rest, he's on white long sleeves and black slacks. Simple yet Calvin Klein material even if he's slumping on it

She started her wide smile first then a huge exhalation before clearing her throat. Standing in front of him with might, not chosing to look at the reception lady who actually let her in that time. Her heart stopped when he finally halted texting or whatever he do that time and stared at her pointy shoes. That and his eyes slowly rose from there, to her skirt, lingering on her collarbone and then on her face. She gripped her bag as she waited for his verbal comment but he scoffed instead and stand. Towering her with that 6'-2" frame.

"Follow me," he said then commanded the receptionist to chat everyone to a certain room and walked straight towards a glass door. It was another meeting room. His office was actually at the side of it and you can see if he's in the office since it's walls are made of glass too.

"Everybody, this is Marielle Cruz," Evan announced when employees sat around that long wooden table. "She will be our marketing assistant from now on as I can't do that thing now that I'm planning for expansion"

He introduced everyone as he said it's everyone else. Very small company for that expanding business. How did he keep that up?

Two guys are IT experts, one guy was an in house engineer that do routinary checks at his plant. That's all for the boys not including one errand boy slash janitor who will be up and about at nine am. Four accounting clerk and one major accountant, all girls by the way then the girl at reception and one human resource slash admin girl. The girl at reception do also secretarial staff for him, scheduling meeting and all.

"The floor is yours," he said as he joined his employee in sitting at the round table

She waved a little, "I'm Marielle Cruz but people call me Mari. You can use it too or you can choose Marielle whatever you like"

"What do you prefer?" Evan said nonchalantly

"Mari…" she's opening her mouth again but he cut her

"It's Mari then, go on"

"My past job was actually on the market research analyst for a big oil company and before that for a credit card company…."

"He's friendly usually," the lone HR woman whispered to her when Evan dissolved them after that meeting. "He's just wants to scare you"

Evan heard seems heard subtle giggles between them because he turned a little to look at them both with a lifted brow.

"Nice dress by the way," the HR lady said loudly when Evan did that turn

"Don't wear that again," Evan said when she already opened her mouth to say thank you. "I hate that color"

"Oops," another girl from accounting who they called Stef blurted when she walked passed them

"What's the matter with yellow?"
