Standing by the floor-to-ceiling glass wall in his office, Zeke looked down at all the buildings in New York City. People walks going everywhere scattered around on the ground like ants. Turning back to his desk, he pressed the intercom and called in Lucas before sitting down.

He has to do it before he gets mad.

Being the sole owner of the most prestigious hotels and other businesses in the whole world was taking toll on Ezekiel Knight.

Not that he really was exhausted running his empire.

Infact, he was more alive than before, running his business smoothly but with consequence, that's what he thinks.

And this wasn't about his business rivals or competitors.

Or those who want to make him dead.

No.

This was about a consequence of being busy enough to not find time. Not that he usually free his day before, but busy to the point that he was missing and itching to go back to the Philippines to see his woman, again. His

He already took ownership of Shimmer Parks like he has done with business deals but, of course, SHE was an entirely different story.

His woman.

The moment he knew her name he was like struck with lightning. The electricity was still crawling on his skin even just by thinking of her.. especially when he thinks of their skin touched for the first time that day. He kept reliving their meeting, the small smile that looked beautiful on her cheeks, her obsidian framed eyes that took his soul and claimed it, and her soft giggles made his day. Heck. He didn't even notice that Lucas was knocking on his office door, after a moment of silence, he walked inside and called his name.

And he wasn't even aware that he was zoning out and drawing a small smile on his face unaware of it. Unaware that someone was inside his office and standing in front of him for quite some time now.

Well, this wasn't the first time he did zone out but definitely was the first time Lucas saw him smiled.

"Oh my God he must really have been possessed." Lucas thought, unable to get his jaw back to it's place from the floor. He was certainly dreaming because never in his entire life working for him did he see this ice-cold man smile.

A small smile, a very miniscule twitch of lips that barely there but it's a smile! An actual smile! "God. What was happening to this man?"

He doesn't know what to do now. Was he going to wait for his boss to snapped out of his little bubble or would he at least clear his throat to get his attention? He doesn't know which he would choose but one thing he does know.. That this man can make him into a human size beautiful ice sculpture. That. He doesn't want to experience. Ever.

So instead of doing either of those, he just shuffles a little acting like he was about to bend over to retrieve his pen on the floor he let go seconds ago, intentionally, to catch his attention. And it worked.

Zeke snapped his fogged unfocused eyes back to see Lucas who was bending over retrieving his pen from the floor and stood up immediately. Finally his attention was back on the present time and planet, not on another dimension. He thought.

"You call for me, Mr. Knight?," he asked. Trying his best to sound casual yet professional to his boss, containing his self to grin wide and jump like a dog for the glee he felt seeing his boss just wasted time smiling and zoning out. It was refreshing to see. He wasn't yet able to forget his boss' first laugh talking to someone on the airport. Shimmer Parks. Was she the one who made this arctic man warm? He would definitely find...
