Ethan

"Okay I'll just send you the revised contract..." I said calmly, restraining my rage then hang up. I wipe my face with my hands in frustration. Smith Holdings is playing hard to get. And I still can't stop thinking about that kiss. I can't get over it. I can still smell her sweet strawberry scent, her brown tantalizing eyes that darkens with passion, her soft lips that warms up my whole being, her skin that's like silk on my fingers. I don't know what came over me but there's this strong urge that i am feeling that I can't contain so i have to kiss her. After her revelation, her being that masked woman who performed on my birthday night, the one I was dazed, she captured me wholly in just a snap. I'm feeling something new, and I don't know if this is good or bad but I'm willing to give it a try. I have to wait for the right time to tell her and i hope that she will reciprocate the attraction i am strongly feeling for her.

I was brought back from my reverie by a loud knock on my door. For a girl, she really got heavy knuckles. I glanced on my watch, 7:45am. Wow, punctual on first day. I must say, she's really determined. I was already dressed on my black Armani suit but no tie. I hate it. It restrain my capacity to breathe and think freely. I opened the door to a hot, sexy, stunning red head, Emily. I groaned inwardly as i take in her appearance, she's dressed in a pencil cut white skirt, pink undershirt, and a white coat. Her hair was curled in big waves, she wore light makeup yet she looks ecstatic. I snap out of it as she clear her throat. "You're early Ms. Beautiful..." She mumbled thanks and smiled at me as i let her in. I walk in with her then lead her to my office. I handed her a brand new iPhone6 and the latest iPad which is already setup for her convenience. I brief her how to use it, i stored my numbers and important stuffs on her phone. "Thanks..." She seems baffled. "All my scheduled meetings are synced with Mrs. Thompson's computer. She's my other secretary who's in charge of fixing my schedule. Your job is to remind me about it or any alterations all the time. You'll be accompanying me all the time specially on dinner invitations, special gatherings, events, business trips so you'll need a lot of formal dresses, suits, which i will provide for you..." I handed her my black card. "I'll be having a meeting with the board members in an hour. You'll get bored in there so I arranged a fashion expert, a chauffeur, and a stylist for you. So you have all day to shop and do those girl thing, like pampering yourself. I'll meet you up at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel around 5:00 in the evening... We'll attend Mr. and Mrs. Yang's fund raising event... So don't be late..." I look at her bemused reaction, her full attention was straight on me. "Okay... Mr. Slate..." She said shyly. "Call me Ethan when we're alone, Mr. Slate if we're on public... If there's anything you need, my number is already stored on your phone. You can use that card, sky's the limit." I winked at her making her grin. We walk out of my PH and hopped on separate black SUVs. I wave goodbye at her which she gladly returned.

I arrived at the office. People swarm as they greeted me then quickly scattered to get on with what they were doing. I was greeted by a smiling Mrs. Thompson who's been my secretary for 8 years now. She's on her 50's, mother of three, she's been my second mother. "Good morning Ethan... where's your personal secretary?" She grinned at me devilishly. I never hide anything from her specially when it comes to woman. "I send her to shop and do those girl thing..." She just gave me a wry smile but knowing her, she's just keeping her thoughts to herself. She's good at guilt tripping me. I smiled at her making her chuckle then proceed to the conference room for my upcoming meeting.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••I was unknowingly flipping my pen on my hands when one of our board members called my attention. "Mr. Slate, what do you think?" My mind was blank but i was glad Mrs. Thompson saved me from embarrassment. She whispered what the question was all about so i am able to answer. "Our project of expanding is quite risky in some point but i know this will push through. The chance of success rate is 71% based on the digits i have studied and i am positive about it... The return of investment will be expected in 3 to 5 years tops. Profits within that time will be maximized and we will be able to put up extensions." The board members talked, nodded at each other and that's it. "Meeting is adjourned." I sighed tired and somehow relieved that my whole boring day was done. I went to my office and check on my phone, no calls, no text. I dialed my chauffeur's number. "Mr. Slate..." He answered in second ring. "Any updates?" He cleared his throat. "We've gone shopping Sir. We're at a salon now Sir, i have been waiting for her... since 1:00pm. She's still in there right now." He whined as i check the time, 4:15pm, Urgh! woman. "Okay, just don't be late for tonight okay?" I whispered thanks as Mrs. Thompson serve me my coffee. "Yes Sir." With that, i hung up.

I relaxed for a bit more, enjoyed my coffee and signed most of the papers on my desk. 4:35pm, i took a shower on my personal bathroom here in my office. I had it installed coz I mostly stay here on my office. It took me 15 minutes to relieve the stress i was feeling in the warmth of the pouring water. I hop out of the shower, dried up then put on a fresh suit Mrs. Thompson brought earlier. I'm almost ready but I can't get my bow tie done. Frustrated, i whined and cursed as my life saver came in. "Ethan, you should get married so there's someone who could take care of what you can't do, like this specifically..." She scolded me pulling my tie. I groaned. "Nah... i think I'm fine..." Mrs. Thompson shook her head. "You see son, when you feel something, like a strange physical attraction for example, that's when it starts... you'll never know until you pursue what's really inside..." She said pointing on my chest where my heart is. I get what she meant. She patted me on my shoulder when she's finished with my bow tie. "You'll be late..." I winked at her. "I'll pursue it this time... thanks!" Then i'm gone.

Emily

I was fascinated by everything that's happening to me right now. I thought I'd be burden by paperworks today but instead, I'm shopping! I chose 3 formal gowns and other dresses i might need. The event will be held at a prestigious hotel here in the big city The Mandarin Oriental so i need to look perfect. My personal favorite was the green gown, it matches the color of my eyes. My pale skin looks vibrant on it's shade of green. It's design is very simple, it's a tube cut gown that fits my body to perfection. It's material is light and soft so the edge of its mermaid cut ruffles flows around when I'm walking. The stylist chose a matching clutch and a 4 inches gold stilettos. When we came to the salon and spa, a group of people swarmed at me. They served me very well. By the time they were finished with me it's already 4:40pm. I hopped on to the black SUV quickly. The driver pulled the curb smoothly. Thank God we arrived at the hotel 5 minutes before show time.

Ethan

I arrived at the hotel quarter before five. I called my driver to check on them but he said they're almost here. I was already nervous they'd be late. I waited at the lobby for full 10 minutes. The double door opened and just like that, it felt surreal. I seized the moment as to what i was staring at or who for that matter, walking towards me. Everything went into slow motion. My mouth was ajar as i drool over her attractive appearance. I would definitely kill for a woman like her. She looks beautiful on her dark green dress. Her hair was curled in big waves. The color of her dress made her skin more vibrant. I was turned on instantly. A smile was flustered on her face as she move forward to where i am standing. "Sorry, I guess we're a bit late..." She said nervously. "N...n...nooh... it's okay... you're worth the wait..." I stuttered as we grinned at each other. I took her arm as we proceed to where the occasion is being held. I tend not to leave her side. We walk around and I introduce her to all the well known business tycoons and their wives. All eyes were on her. I feel proud and lucky having a great woman by my side. After quite some time, i felt her uneasiness so i guided her to our prescribed seats. "My feet is killing me..." She whined. She tried to take it off but failed. "Let me sweetie..." I bent on my knees and take off her heels. I massage her feet, earning a moan from each of it. An electric reaction seeps in my nerves as i heard her satisfied moans. My manhood became hard as my mind becomes dirty. I smirked at her as i put down both of her feet on the carpeted floors. "Thanks..." My smile turned into a grin. "Let's stay seated, I'll just put your heels back when we're done here..." She nodded as a waiter came to serve us our food and drinks. The evening went well. We had small talks and i got to know her better. She's everything a man can ask for. And I can't wait to make her mine.
