Stark's P.O.V

I looked over the shoulders of a few workers, trying to seem as casual as possible, and gave a few compliments here and there, but none of them were My mystery boy. Just as I was about to give up I came upon a familiar Mess of brown hair. I internally smirked and slowly walked up behind him. I took a glance at his work and I must say, I was very impressed.

"That design looks very nice," I spoke up. I must have suprised him considering how high he jumped. "I'm sorry, did I startle you?" I asked concerned.

He looked up at me but looked away just as quick, trying to hide his now rosy cheeks.

"Um, n-no sir," I felt myself heat up as he called me sir. This boy will be the death of me. "And thank you" He added

"Of course. How long have you been working with digital design? Your work is very good." I said looking down at him trying to catch his eyes, but his eyes stayed cast down.

"Oh I- uh just got out of college so I just started actually working on designs for something other than classwork," He replied, slightly looking up at me.

"Well I must say, I'm very impressed." I told him smiling down at him. His eyes lit up and smile overtook his face. All I could do was stare at how beautiful his smile looked and I felt pride knowing I caused it. My smile widened a bit at his happiness. Why am I getting so caught up in this boy? I don't even know his name!

"What's your name?" I asked curiously

"Oliver Quinn" Oliver. A cute name to fit the boy in front of me perfectly.

"Well, Oliver, how would you like to work on a project with me and Mr.Anderson? It's not a big project but we need someone to design and by the looks of your work, you're the best suited for it" I offered him. Keegan Anderson is a business partner of mine and my bestfriend. We've discussing a new product with both our companies but we weren't sure where to start. Truthfully we haven't even really started on the project, we were still deciding if we were going to move forward with it, but I couldn't let an opportunity to be close to Oliver slip.

"R-really?" Oliver stuttered, his wide eyes staring up at me. I chuckled a bit.

"Yes if course. It won't interfere with your work and you'll get paid for your time spent on it, so what do you say?" I asked trying not to look to hopeful

He thought about it for a while, subconsciously biting his lip. my eyes were glued to his lips but I was brought out of my trance by his voice.

"O-okay... I'll do it," my face broke into a smile and I had to keep myself from looking too excited.

"Great, I'll have my secretary email you the details." I flashed him a smile before I left him to his work. Now I'll just have to deal with Keegan...

Oliver's POV
Did that really just happen? I just started working here and I'm already working directly with the CEO of the company! This is great, but I can't help to be nervous. Do I really want to spend all that extra time with Stark Bane? I already feel an attraction towards him, do I want to risk gaining feelings too? Well I can't say no now, I already agreed. Maybe if I tell him I don't have the time he'll understand? But this is such a great opportunity! Ugh I really have to stop over thinking this.

I glanced up at the clock. Finally, quitting time. I put all my important papers away and stacked the rest in a neat pile before grabbing my bag and heading to the elevator. Today has been a crazy day, I can't wait to get home and sleep.
The doors opened and and I hopped in. The elevator slowly decended to the lobby and when it finally arrived I stepped out. I got a cab home and when I got into my apartment Immediately went to bed, not even worried about skipping dinner, to exhausted to do anything else. I stripped my clothes and slid into bed. Hopefully tomorrow won't be as hectic. And with that thought in my mind, I fell asleep.
