CHAPTER 10: The elevator I

I entered the college and what caught my attention was my Tesoro. She was going inside the campus, and as my car pulled in, her eyes drew towards me. As soon as I came out of my car, the chairperson came to greet me. I glanced up and found that Elena had disappeared. (I'll catch her later.)

The chairperson led me toward a hall where all the students were already waiting. I stepped onto the stage and gave a small lecture. (If it weren't for my Tesoro, I would never have come to any college like this. I've never done these things before; they seemed boring to me, and Marco usually handles these matters.)

I finally finished my speech and asked if anyone had any questions. Students stood up and asked many questions. Then, a sweet voice came from a corner, and I already knew whose voice it was. I looked in that direction, and there she was-Elena stood up and asked me some questions. I stared at her with everything I had in me.

She felt that. Yes, she does. I can sense it. She then asked me about the qualities I look for in my interns regarding robotics and our computing systems. I answered her, and I can bet my answers satisfied her.

As we were done, I stepped down from the stage. I looked around but didn't see Elena. Where did she go? She must be in the cafeteria.

I walked towards the cafeteria and saw her. It was crowded, and she was trying to navigate through with two coffees in her hands. I got stuck as some students in the cafeteria stopped me to ask something. Suddenly, someone bumped into me and spilled some liquid on my shirt.

I looked down, only to find it was Elena who had bumped into me. My anger disappeared as soon as I realized it was her. I got lost in her eyes, and she started apologizing profusely. I didn't say anything to her but asked her to lead me towards the restroom.

She led me there, flustered and embarrassed. I couldn't help but smile at her earnestness. Inside the restroom, she offered to help clean the stain. I wanted her hands to touch me, I wanted her close to me, so I nodded and let her help.

Her hands worked diligently on my shirt, and I watched her, noticing the way her cheeks turned a delightful shade of pink.

"Do you also have applied for the internship?" I asked, trying to make conversation.

"Yes, this is my final semester," she replied, focusing on the stain.

"Oh, so what are you willing to work for?" I continued.

"I'm actually a psychology student, but I have skills in computing and designing," she said, not looking up.

"Impressive," I commented.

"Thank you, sir," she replied, finally meeting my gaze.

As she finished cleaning the stain, she fanned my shirt to dry it. I couldn't resist teasing her, "You're pretty."

She looked up at me, surprised. "Thank you," she said, clearly flustered.

"You're cute when you're shy," I added, enjoying the way her blush deepened.

"It's done, sir. And again, sorry for this," she said, stepping back.

"Don't say that again. You've already helped me a lot," I said, leaning in a bit closer. In a low, husky voice, I whispered near her ear, "Thank you."

I walked out, leaving her standing there. The moment lingered with me, her scent, her touch, everything about her.

I had to make sure she would be one of the chosen interns. There was no way I was letting her slip through my fingers.

After leaving the campus, I decided to do something special for Elena. I drove to a flower shop and picked out an arrangement of black and red roses. I wanted something grander, so I also got a giant plushie for her.
