Reaching for your heart

" Here are the files you asked for ma'am " . She points to the spot beside her monitor without looking up. I've been placed under Mrs Catherine and it's been okay but stressful nonetheless. I'm about to head back to my cubicle when she calls my name.
      Ma'am?
You've interned here for a month right? She asks pushing her glasses up.
      "Yes ma'am " I say and she nods.
" You're highly efficient " she says and I smile so widely my cheeks hurt . I bow in appreciation and walk away when she motions for me to go.

CEO LK's POV
I try my best to stay focused as the lady explains our financial grade chart report for this month . I haven't had my morning coffee and I barely had three hours of sleep.
"Sir.." a voice squeaks pulling me out of my thoughts. It's the last who had been up front.
" that'll be all..thank you ...Stella" I say reading her name off the identity card everyone was required to have.
I rise and the board follows me
. I break away from the chain and walk into my office. I quickly dial Zara's desk.
" Why haven't I gotten my coffee Zara " I hiss and I hear her shriek on the other end.
"  I was directed to deliver something for you somew-"
"-I need my coffee Zara" is all I say and fall back into my chair frustrated.

There's a knock on my door about ten minutes later and I hope it's Zara or I might run mad . I look though the footage . There's a lady with ginger hair with her face down holding a coffee cup. Zara is a blonde.  I press the button and the doors open. The last looks up shocked.
" Come in " I say when she stands there staring like she doesn't use doors to enter places.
" here's your coffee sir , miss Zara asked me to help her deliver it as she was running out of time" she explains head bowed.
I ignore and take a sip to confirm it's an americano before I wave her off .
" Are you a new employee?" I ask observing her .
" no sir"
Her identity card is within arms reach so I lift it.
Marcy Adams
Intern
Media department
"Marcy.." I say slowly and then I stare at her . No way . Definitely no way .
" You may leave " I say waving her off and she walks away so fast I almost laugh.

I watch as about six moving trucks pull into the driveway .
" why would someone need six moving trucks" I say to myself in disgust. Rich people and showing off. A lady in a sundress and hat steps down. It's fucking cold ! Jesus. There's a girl with her in baggy shorts , a red tee and a red baseball cap perched on her ginger hair. I couldn't see her face but I was ready to bet she was ugly . I mean her mum was , with all that make up .
   " Kane!" My mom calls snapping me out of my judgement session
" Mum!" I scream back and force myself off the window ledge.
She hands me grilled chicken in a casserole dish and asks me to deliver it to our new neighbors
" Noo" I cry out remembering the scary lady from earlier. My mom just looks at me then looks away . No complaints.
I head out and take my time to walk to the neighbors'.
I knock twice before the door finally opens. It's the girl in a red tee . She stares at me like I'm see through. It seems like I finally come into view though cause her eyes widen a little. She was beautiful. I keep myself in check and try not to stutter . I mean she was obviously younger than me .
" We noticed you moved in newly and my mom said we should hand you this" I say and she nods still not saying anything . I cock my head to the side and observe her.
" What's your name.." I ask her
"Marcy " she replies almost immediately
" okay mercy please..I plead in advance cause my mom's cooking is terrible " I say and she chuckles revealing her pearly whites for a bit before a frown appears on her face
" it's Marcy " she says but I ignore her and jog back home .

" Hey baby boo" Sean's voice pulls me out of my reverie and I roll my eyes and spin my chair away from him.
You have a Meeting in an hour sir
I shrug on my suit jacket and we both head to the helipad .
"What we're you thinking about earlier?" Sean probes.
"Different countries I could sell your organs " I tell him and his eyes widen before he bursts into laughter.
"You always have this poker face on , it's hard to tell you're joking " he says and I deadpan
" I'm joking?" I ask and turn my head to the window as I adjust myself in the seat as the helicopter prepares to take off.
" Nilesmiles is one of our biggest partners...this deal could take us places"
I nod in agreement.

Marcy's POV
I think I'd died internally when Miss Zara had stopped me on the way and asked me to deliver the CEO's coffee. I'm a mere intern how could I refuse.
To say the CEO was hot would be an understatement.
Beautiful is the word. All his features seemed perfectly crafted. Kaiden List . He was a business tycoon and multimillionaire at 26. Also the hottest man I'd ever seen.
I stare at him as he lifts me Identity card and reads my name off it . There's no expression on his face and soon he waves me away.
