(Louisa's POV)
.......................................................................

Back at my desk, I got back to work, ignoring the numerous questions from my colleagues. I wasn't ready to talk about what had happened because judging from the fact that the boss was referred to as a dare devil, it would be embarrassing for him if I told his employees that I told him what to do and he complied. I had that inward satisfaction and a smile unknowingly crept on my face. I felt important because this strange man listened to me......I was more like the boss here now....*giggle*..... Concentrating on my daydream, I didn't notice when Sam walked to my desk. His face was troubled. I could sense danger.
"The boss wants to see you immediately... I don't think it's a good thing. You might loose either your life, or your job....both maybe"
I was supposed to be scared right?? So why was I smiling??
What's this confident feeling and where is it from??
"I just told you that your life is at stake and you're smiling?? Who the hell are you??"
Sam was right, but I didn't care. I walked past him and took the elevator to the so called daredevil's office.....
*knock*..... Ok now the fear came. What was going to happen to me?
Should I knock again?
Why wasn't he answering?
Was he thinking of my punishment?
Wha......
"Come"
Slowly, I opened the door and walked in almost tripping over. He didn't even look at me for once.
I stood there waiting for the worst.
"Miss Louisa Benson, correct?"
"Ye...yes..yes correct" why was I stammering?
" Why are you scared? You reprimanded me early this morning at the coffee shop, and now in my own office"
*Yes! That's the guy that's where I saw that wrist watch. I was admiring it at the same time shouting at him. When he held Judy today I recognized it and hoped he wasn't the one but noooooo.......he is!! What have I done.... He's definitely going to fire me*
"Ehem.... What are you thinking about? Have a sit."
"M..me?? Oh ok"
"So tell me... what gave you the right to tell me what to do earlier today?"
"I'm really sorry sir..I honestly don't know what came over me.... I just felt like helping a fellow girl and you seemed out of control."
While I was talking, I noticed he didn't remove his eyes from me although I wasn't staring at him, I could feel his eyes on me. I felt a cold chill and my hands started to heat up. The room became rather hot despite the air conditioner. My heart kept on beating and I didn't know when tears started streaming down like a waterfall....
"Please don't fire me... I'm sorry for the way I behaved please, it won't ever happen again".
Suddenly, his laughter spread through the office and probably the entire company because it was so loud, I could feel my eardrums tearing apart. His smile was something else. Those perfectly arranged teeth and....gosh Louisa.. really.... you're admiring him???
"What makes you think I'll fire you? I wanted to but we need such bold people here so you're safe."
"Thank you so much sir... I'm so happy right now... thank you.
"You may leave.."
"Yes thank you"
I wanted to go, but I also wanted to ask,..
" Why did you call me?"
*Scoff* " I wanted to know the woman that was able to control me"
Saying that, he smiled.....ohhhh that beautiful smile....that charming smile....that ado......snap out Louisa. Smiling back, I walked out of his office and back to my desk. Everyone had expected tears and a sack letter in my hands but instead, a smiling me walked to my sit, again ignoring them and leaving them more confused. I sat at my desk and recalled that meeting...why was he affecting me like that??




*Shawn's POV*
....................................................................
*knock*
I knew she was the one. I hesitated for a moment before asking her to enter. Seeing her standing at the door was enough to blow my mind. Her physique was something else and as she stared at me with those bulgy eyes of hers....I wanted to hide....why was she affecting me like this??
When she cried, I felt pierced, like I was being stabbed in the chest. How I wanted to embrace her and tell her that I won't hurt her. I wanted to say something but seeing her shaky body, I couldn't help but laugh. She must've thought of me as a monster,but I couldn't help it.
Clearing her doubts, I dismissed her because God knows how hard it was for me to keep my cool.
This woman.....this stranger.....seemed like my comforter...I felt safe around her.. ..I felt peace....and for once in my life.....I smiled sincerely...from my heart..... What was this strange feeling??


*Third person pov*

Meanwhile, Sam had already called an Uber to help take Louisa home because he felt she wouldn't be able to handle the shock of what was going to happen. He hurried down to her desk and though he was shocked, it was a different kind of shock. She was smiling and working. Humming a song and smiling subsequently for God knows why....
Walking over to her, he bent over and whispered.." so... What happened?"
" Uhhm.. nothing, I apologized, he forgave me, asked me to get back to work and voila....here I am...alive and healthy"
"What the f**k....he what!??? Mr Lee never forgives anyone....not even himself....what do you mean he forgave you?
Again who the hell are you???!!"
"Louisa Benson, employee at Shades international, working under the so called dare devil, who happens to be a harmless beast, so if you would excuse me, I have work to do"
Saying that she fixed her gaze on her computer still smiling and humming that song.
*At least someone was able to get away from Mr Lee without any bruises* he thought to himself and walked away.
