Unlocked Passion

Chapter 3

(I know nothing about business so if you see quick business plot lines go by quickly, I'm sorry in advance.)

"I would like for you to brainstorm ideas on ways to sell my new products for clothing and watches. I want to be able to sell them to everyone." Spencer saids. Olivia nods. "You got it. Right away sir." Olivia was about to get up but Spencer stops her. 

"Hey, Olivia..." 

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry."

Olivia was confused. Why was he apologizing?

"For what?"

"I was flirting with you when I barely even knew you. I let myself on too quick. I probably made you uncomfortable and I am sorry. I want to start things slow with us in terms of professionalism. Is that ok?" 

Olivia was still confused. She didn't quite understand why he was apologizing. But I guess she had to accept. 

"Um.. sure. That's fine. I'm going to type ideas. Call me if you need anything." Olivia saids. Spencer nods and smiles. "Sure, no problem." Olivia nods and leaves to go to her office. Spencer sighs and leans back on his seat. 

Spencer's Thoughts:

"Good, Spencer. That's a great start. Take your time. Take it slow. I know you like her... a lot.. but she doesn't really know you. The best thing to do right now is to do your job and let her do her job as an assistant. Let time go by and if you're ready, you can ask her out. Just hope that she saids yes."

Even though Spencer is very much interested in Olivia, he realizes he needs time to get to know her before he can do anything. Plus he needed to focus on his job. 

Three hours later and it is now 1:00 p.m. It was time for a lunch break. After Olivia typed her ideas on sheets of paper, she entered Spencer's office to give it to him. But Spencer wasn't there. She still decided to enter anyway. As soon as she put the papers on the table, Spencer walks in. 

"Ms. Baker?" Olivia turns around. She looks nervous. "Um.. I was just.. um.. putting my ideas on your table. I'm about to head out for lunch with Amelia. If that's ok with you..." Spencer smiles and nods. "Yeah that's completely fine. Be back in a hour and a half. And thanks for the papers. I'll look over them."

"You're not eating?" Olivia asks. "No, I really don't have time to eat when I'm the CEO of a huge company." They both chuckle. "I have a lot of responsibilities already in my belt. So it's fine. I'll eat later." 

Olivia nods and walks out to the door. She slightly trips once she is close to Spencer. Spencer grips her by the waist, catching her. They look into each other, both suddenly panting. The touch from each other increased their hormones. 

Olivia's Thoughts: 

"Damn, he has a very good grip. Why are we both panting? Why are we like this towards each other? 

Spencer's Thoughts:

"Damn, she is so beautiful I can't contain myself. I think she's impressed by my grip. Hell she should be. I can do way more things than gripping... Spencer, what did we just say? Calm down..."

They don't want this to be even more awkward than it already is. So, Spencer helps her stand. Olivia thanks him and walks out to see Amelia. Spencer sighs and rolls his eyes, embarrassed. 

"Good job of making it awkward Spencer." He whispers to himself as he closes the door to his office. 

Olivia walks to the desk to meet with Amelia. Amelia sees her and smiles, grabbing her purse. "Ready for lunch?" Olivia smiles and nods. "Yup. Let's go. I'm starving."
