The Billionaire's Unexpected Love

1)The First Glance

It was a busy weekday, Anna grabbed her coffee from the counter of the La Delight Cafe and headed to work hurriedly, as she was a bit late for an important meeting. Once she arrived at her company Woods Edge Innovation. Everyone greeted her with a warm smile. Her assistant Lora, accompanied Anna till she arrived at her office. Laura kept listing her boss's schedule for the day and sighed 

"Mam you got an important meeting with the founder of Washington Tech Company" 

And what's with the sigh?" Anna asked with a curious look, 

"It's just Mr. Washington usually does not attend these meetings, but his father isn't available for today's one so he will be leading the team of his company" 

"Alright, so what's the catch?" Anna asked with suspense 

"He can be unbothered at times, so Mr. Washington's dad requested not to take his actions seriously if things don't go easy"

 Laura replied.

 Anna nodded with a cheerful smile and went into her cabin answering a call.

THE MEETING

Everyone walked into the conference room, Anna arrived with Laura beside her and sat waiting till Mr. Washington arrived. 

But there was no sign of his arrival, which annoyed Anna because of how low Mr. Washington's punctuality could be. After waiting for nearly half an hour, he finally arrived, wearing a black suit with sunglasses on and his hair combed neatly with no gel applied. 

"Pretty decent" 

scoffed Anna "What mam?" asked Laura hearing what Anna said with a smile.

"Alright sorry everyone for delaying this meeting, I am Edward Washington, the founder of Washington Tech Company" 

Swallowing her anger "Good afternoon Edward, I am Anna, the CEO of this company, I am sure your project is a fine price that my time is invested in" with a serious look on her face.

With an unserious mind, Edward took his phone out and looked where the voice came from taking all his attention to that particular person. And laid his eyes on Anna who seemed pretty serious about what she meant. 

Seeing Anna, Edward skipped a beat for how he had never seen a woman this pretty and ambitious steal his mind at first sight.

Edward's assistant Micheal started to get his boss's presentation projected to the screen so that the meeting could begin. With the meeting started Edward got up from his seat and started explaining his concept having his eye on Anna, admiring her beauty without even realizing that everyone noticing him. 

Having this, Anna was so engaged in Edward's presentation that she didn't at all notice him staring at her, until when Laura nudged her, breaking the deep focus of Anna in Edward's presentation.

Anna glanced at Lora, while Lora gave a silly smirk which she always does when something juicy happens.

Which indicates of "we need to talk about this later" kinda girl code of theirs.

After the meeting was over, everyone applauded how the great presentation was done, and how seriously he took this time. Everyone started to leave whispering to each other what had happened during the meeting.

 Edward came in front of Anna when she was about to leave the room 

"Are you free at 5 pm?" "

 I think I might, why Mr. Washington?" 

"No, I was just thinking, how about we grab some coffee and talk you know?"

 "talk about what exactly?" 

 "About work? " 

"Alright will meet at La Delight Cafe at 5 pm then Mr. Washington"  Anna said without having any clue that Edward was indirectly asking her out.

"You can call me Edward" with a strong gaze on her. 

Having Anna's phone rang, the eye contact broke.

"see you at 5 pm Edward" said Anna while answering the call.

 And Anna went away with Laura behind speaking with one of her customers in line.
