I sighed for what must've been the hundredth time that day. I've already checked six floors and still haven't found that brown haired beauty.

I consider giving up but, how can I? He's all I can think about! The way his hair looks messy but perfect at the same time, how he stuttered his way through sentences with his soft gentle voice, his big brown eyes and perfect pink lips that could make anyone fall to their knees, gosh, I sound like a softy!  I've never felt this way about someone. I'm usually to involved in work that no one ever catches my eye, but somehow this one guy has caught my full attention.

I hopped on the elevator and pushed the button for the next floor. The elevator slowly started ascending and finally reached the next floor. The doors opened and I stepped out. Mr.James spotted me and rushed to greet me.

"Hello Mr.Bane, what a suprise!" Mr. James greeted.

"Good afternoon Mr.James, I've just come by to check how things are going." I replied casually while looking around.

"Oh, well would you like me to assist you on your check?"  He asked me, making me stop my searching and turn back towards him.

"No thank you Mr.James, I'm just going to see what work these employees are doing and then I should be out of your way." I told him and began looking around again.

I've got to find this boy.

Oliver's P.O.V

Finally. I leaned back in my chair and rubbed my eyes feeling fatigued despite the fact that it's not even lunch yet. Since I'm the newest employee I've been tasked with file work, rather than working on actual projects,and I have finally finished with the last file in the stack. I don't mind file work but it can get pretty tiring after a while. Now that I've finished that I can start working on building a prototype for the companies newest product. My floor is the floor that deals with anything that needs to be done and right now it's working on digital prototypes and file work.

I head to Mr.James' office, files in hand, and knock lightly on his door. I hear a faint 'come in' so I open the door and shyly walk up to Mr.James' desk.

"Um, I've finished working through all the files sir," I state holding up the stack of folders in my hands.

"Already?" He asks suprised. "It usually takes my employees more than twice the time to sort through that many files!"

Really? That work was a piece of cake! But then again I guess not everyone has an I.Q of 147 and graduated at 16.
"Oh, well I guess I'm just really good at paperwork," I say shyly

"Well now that you've finished, you can work on making a digital prototype for this," He says handing me a paper with what the product is and how it should work.

"Thank you sir" I say quietly and leave the room.

I head back to my desk and get started on the task at hand. I read the requirements and get an idea of how I want to make it. With the thought fresh in mind, I immediately start.

I notice people start to leave and I look at the clock only to realize that it's lunchtime. I decide to skip lunch since I'm not all that hungry and I rarely eat lunch anyways. I continue working, liking the way my design is heading.

When I find a come to a good point to stop I figure I should take a coffee break. I head to the break room and pour some coffee in my cup and add an excessive  amount of sugar in it. I take a seat at the table and relax for a while, the only sound in the office being the ticking clock on the wall. After 10 minutes I stand up and head back to my desk getting back to work. Not to long after people start coming back in and working again.

After a while I hear the elevator ding and look back to see the Ceo of the company standing there talking to Mr.James. I quickly turn back around towards my desk when he starts looking around, and blush remembering what happened this morning.

What is he doing here? I heard he sometimes drops by to see how work is going but why today? Doesn't he have better things to do?

I chance a look back again and see him start walking around looking at the staff doing their work. He gets closer to me and I start to slightly panic. Please don't let him notice me, I don't think I could handle the embarrassment.

I turn and try my best to work and stay unnoticed by him. And just when I think he finally has gone I hear his deep voice behind me.

Well shit.
