𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈?

"Your late."

His eyes death-stared into her as she gulp before looking away.

"Sorry sir."

Dahlia slowly moved aside once the CEO's made their arrival. It was a party. "A stupid one" she whispered to herself before taking a seat and the corner of the room.

Her eyes darted around the room when out of the blue, the squeaking of the chair next to her awoke her from her thoughts.

A man, probably around her age slumped into the chair as he closed his eyes releasing a frustrated sigh. Dahlia couldn't help but admire his striking features. He for sure looked like a god who descended from above. His messy hair fell onto his eyes as they suddenly shot open.

"Your a creep for staring."

His voice sent a sudden chill through her bones as she immediately coughed and looked away while her cheeks flushed in embarrassment.

"S-sorry..."

"Whatever" he replied before taking his leave.

"How rude." Dahlia thought as she fell back onto her chair, slurping on the red slushy. 'What kind of CEO party even has slushies?' she wondered before pulling herself back up in a neat posture as her boss advanced towards her.

"Dahlia, meet Mr. Evans. He's our new investor."

A dashing man stood in front of her while she ogled at his features. Handsome for sure. His hair was neatly swept to one side as he put out his hand.

"Evans, Chris Evans. Pleasure to meet you  Miss?"

"West, Dahlia West."

She shook his hand while light smile appeared on his face.

"Well, I hope to see you soon Miss West."

"Please call me Dahlia and I hope to see you soon too."

Taking her leave, she disappeared into the crowd as she desperately searched for champagne. Right now, what she needed was to calm down.

Grabbing a glass, she chugged the drink down while a rather fiery sensation took over her. Her eyes scanned the room before they landed on the same auburn eyes that she was familiarised with.

His shoulders slumped, she sensed he was a workaholic. 'Those' kinds were just too familiar as she was surrounded by them during her whole life.

His head turned to her direction as she immediately looked away, gazing hard at the wooden floor.

Footsteps towards her were audible as they eventually stopped in front of her. Sighing she looked up at the astonishingly hot man who was presented before her eyes.

"Do I have to call the cops incase your stalking me?" He asked as his eyes stared at her with a rather amused expression.

"N-no...Sorry." she hastily replied before turning around.

"Hm? You sure? I'll be glad to have you locked up."

'What the?! Who the hell did this man think he was?! Asshole.' Scoffing she turns around fully facing him before glaring right back.

"Excuse me but sorry if I looked at you. Jeez can't I look at people? And secondly, don't act like you run this place because you don't, dick."

His eyes narrowed as his lips pursed, threatening her with his unbelievably calm features.

"I'll let you go just once. Don't think about running into me again."

"Well why would I? I would hate to see you again Mr????"

Without a word, he turned around and moved away from her as she sighed in annoyance. "Jerk" she muttered under her breath before taking a bite of the chocolate chip cookie in front of her.

Hours passed. Her eyes slowly started shutting down as the visitors slowly made their leave, one by one. This by far was the worst party she ever went to and she would gladly do anything to just simply get the hell outta here.

But what annoyed her even more, was that same guy who got on her nerves, never left. He stayed with her boss and kept chatting and chatting without a bother in the world.

Finally they both stood up as she watched them and slowly got onto her feet.

"Oh and Mr Holland this is my secretary."

His eyes glanced over to Dahlia as a sudden smirk appeared on his face. Unfortunately it was so sudden and quick, Dahlia never noticed it.

"Hi, Dahlia West." she replied while looking at him with a dark look.

"Holland, Tom Holland." he reciprocated as he shook her hand. Something about that handshake seemed off as they both were trying their level best to squeeze each other's hand to the maximum.

Pulling away, Dahlia smiles, 'Huh... I'm getting really good at these fake smiles' she thought before asking "Sir I think it's time to leave?"

"Yes yes whatever, go get my car." he said. No wait. He yelled.

Shuffling her feet, she immediately left the party hall, while rushing towards the car. Her hands gripped on the steering wheel as more images flashed in her mind.

"N--no...no...STOP!!!" she screamed while pushing the car door. Her head throbbed in pain uncontrollably. The vivid nightmares left her speechless as she finally fell out of the car but unexpectedly, onto the arms of a stranger.

"LET GO!!! LEAVE ME!!!" she screamed in agony as the parking garage echoed with her shrieks.

"Hey...Hey...HEY DAHLIA LOOK AT ME!!!" The stranger yelled desperately.

Her legs felt numb as she slowly fell onto his arms. The visions subsided. Yet the pain escalated. Her eyes failed to stay open as she caught a glance at the stranger. Her lips parted as she whispered his name, before falling into a deep trance while her body lay on his arm, lifeless....
