The beauty and the beast

Chapter 2 FAMILIAR

Xander's POV

" Hi sir, my name is Stella Lily Smith. May I take a seat?"

Once I heard that name,I dropped whatever I was doing and my head shot up. Stella as in my Stella, what is she doing here? She looks so different but different in a good way of course. Her body had define curves and her hair became shiner.

I didn't realised a I was staring until she cleared her throat. " Uh, ya sure go ahead." As we started the interview, I realised that I had missed so many milestones in her life. And I started blaming myself for not searching well enough. How did I even missed her when she was right under my nose the whole time.

She studied in New York University, business course. She had many different types of experience and she was the perfect assistant for me she fits all the criteria. As I was taking a good look at her resume, at the conner of my eyes I saw her shaking her legs, just like she used too when she was nervous.

" Stella, first of all what an impressive resume, you are hired as my personal assistant, see you tomorrow at 9, you should I hate people who are late and don't dress the part so I expect the best from you."

"Sir there must be some misunderstanding , I did not apply for this position. So am I getting hired for the position I apply for because I am not suitable to be your personal assistant."

"No there isn't, you are going to be my personal assistant or you can just get out I can always find someone else."

No don't go cause I can't find anyone else as perfect as you. I just got you back and I am not letting you slip away, I thought to myself.

"Ok fine I will be your personal assistant."she mumbled "only cause I need my money."

"Thank you for your time sir!" She said sarcastically and slammed the door. Did she really forget who I am.

After a long day at work, I finally called my driver and got back to my penthouse. Just as I was about to take a shower my phone rang.

" Xander Caleb Jones! I told you to call me last week, you had me worried sick." My mother shouted. "Remember to come home for dinner, chase is also joining us don't be late ." Chase is my childhood best friend we still are till to this day I just don't tell home that he is actually my best friend as he extremely cocky.

Chase and I became met when Stella and her family moved away so she doesn't know about him. While on the other hand, Chase know all about Stella as everyone in my family talks about her all the time.

Chase and I are the definition of opposites attract. Both our families are wealthy but he is an absolute playboy he goes to the club almost every other day. While I barely visit my family as I am a workaholic as he likes to call me and the only places I go everyday is my penthouse and my office.

"Really Mom, that asshole again!" I said as I rolled my eyes. "Yeah that asshole who is also your best friend." Mother replied.

"Mother I have something to ask you,it's really important, do you by any chance remember Stella." "Of course, what happen."

"She came to the office today for an interview, but I don't think she rememberers me. I gave her the spot of my personal assistant and before you say anything I was not bias and her resume was pretty good." "Oh really" "yeah ok so see next week for dinner yeah?" "Yeah yeah."

After that call I went to shower and grab a bite before lying in bed and dreaming about Stella while I fall asleep.
