Chapter 8 OFFICE CAN BE FUN

Felicity POV

When I wake up early Monday morning, I don't feel like myself. I don't have enough sleep. Last night the wheels on my head keep on turning. Jeremy is still away for a week so I'm sleeping alone. Is not usual for me to sleep alone because Jeremy sometimes has a business that he needs to tend out of town. Is it because of I'm not with Greg? Or maybe just the fact that I know Jeremy is with his mistress. I have to stop overthinking everything. I will myself to get up and prepare to go to work.

Today I choose to wear sleeveless wrap dress and a crop blazer to match. I put my hair to a pony tail and put on my minimal make up but since I need something more to boost my confidence due to my messy feeling, I opt to wear a super sexy lingerie underneath.

"Good morning Felice!" Hannah greets me as I walk into my office.

"Hi Hannah, what's on my schedule today?" I ask her as I take my seat at my office.

"Meeting with the prospect contractor, for the Caspian Apartment Project. They are now 5 contenders. Each of the company already submit the proposal which is on your desk. And at the last minute Mr. Donavon's company is also submit a proposal." Hannah put on folders in front of me.

This is my usual work, comparing and choose the best proposal from different companies. Usually, we will hold an open meeting to see what the design they are offering and what material they opt to support the quality and the price we want to achieve. My company works with Greg's company before, but as his company grew bigger, he usually doesn't bother to do a small project like this one. Unfortunately, Jeremy's company is one of our regular due to my father influence. I like to keep it neutral as I review and always let the best proposal wins. I have this funny feeling about Greg's company joining this project. But I shake it from my head, with this project scale I'm pretty sure Greg will send one of his man just like I know Jeremy will, since Jeremy is out of town.

At 1.45 p.m. I already finished my lunch and ready to go to the conference room. The meeting will start at 2 pm. After reviewing the proposal not to my surprise Greg's company has the best to offer. His company is one of the top leading construction business in this state. As I enter the meeting room with Hannah, I can see most of the representatives is already here. At the far corner I see a familiar broad shoulder, he's facing the window, and slowly swivel his chair. Oh gosh, what a sight. It's Greg himself. When our eyes meet, I can see his devilish handsome smile weaken my knees instantly. The other guy just evaporates to nearly none existence compares to him. I give each and every one a handshake and save the best for last.

"Mr. Donovan, thank you for joining us!" I offer him a handshake and a polite greeting.

"The pleasure is mine, Ms. Stuart!" He says as he takes my hand to shake while the other are softly touching almost caressing my elbow.

I take a seat opposite of Greg, because I know that I cannot concentrate if I were having to seat next to him. The meeting starts and I will myself not to steal an ever so often glance to Greg. Suddenly my phone vibrates on my blazer pocket. I've must forget to put it on silent mode, usually I don't bother to check my phone when I held an important meeting. But as I ignore it, it vibrates again. Must be important, so I take it out and take a peek.

Greg : Hello gorgeous.

Greg : You look so damn sexy. Look what you do to me.

I look at Greg's direction and he's facing front not looking at me, but I can see he's ever so slightly fixing his crotch. I clear my throat and I can feel my face gets warmer.

Greg : I didn't know I wear a wrong pants, I think it's shrinking.

Felicity : Stop it. I need to focus.
