THE BALL

CHAPTER EIGHT - Sparkling Eye Contact

She,

Monday

I am wearing a white shirt and black pants to look smart on my first day. Not to forget, I have my favorite black high-heel shoes on, standing in front of a skyscraper, ready to step into the new journey of my life.

The tall proud building makes me nervous, but my excitement overshadows it.

With a smile and confidence, I entered, greeted by the cute guy I met on the other day. He welcomed with his charming smile, wished me luck for my first day, and reminded me of the treat I promised.

I smiled and said "I do remember, and lunch is on me today. First, let me settle my business". He smiled, we shook hands, and then parted ways to do our work.

My floor is on the 5th, so I was walking towards the stairs. Suddenly, I felt a restless tension. I turned back and saw a gigantic man in the distance, surrounded by a group of men.

I couldn't see his face because someone was standing in the way, but I could catch a glimpse of his body. His physique looked delicious, and without even realizing it, I stood there like an idiot just to get a better view of his perfect figure.

 He was wearing green pants and a green jacket over a black shirt, with thick leather shoes. His first two buttons were undone, revealing his tattooed chest, which is not professional at all.

My gaze slowly travelled down and looked directly at the center part. Oh God! it's so tight; I can feel the thing jailed under the strong pants. If only I could help...

"Geez...! what the hell am I thinking?" Guilt is consuming my heart. It is my first job and only my first day; instead of taking interest on my career, I'm thinking nasty.

He seems to be an important figure in the company, better I'd keep my tail to myself and do my job. With one last look, I walked away from the scene.

My boss welcomed all new hires with small flower in her hand and wished us the best in delivering excellent service.

After a warm welcome, I settled into my cabin. I arranged the space for my convenience. The first two hours passed quickly with our new team introduction, discussions about our new project, and plans.

Soon, we were invited to a meeting arranged with the bosses' bosses' boss, the CEO of the company Mr. Blackwood.

I'm ecstatic about the meeting, and who wouldn't be? It's a dream for everyone to work under his roof. Meeting him feels like a bonus gift I've never expected.

I felt elated by the news and settled myself in the corner of the meeting room, where I wouldn't attract attention and would be comfortable to absorb our boss's speech, attitude and success.

An unsettled feeling crawled over me; I could sense same morning aura. The noise in the room vanished when he graced us with his presence. He walked straight to the podium, his back facing me.

"What is he doing here!?" The realization hit me: the person I had drooled this morning was none other than Mr. Blackwood.

I swallowed my fear and look at him, who was now facing us.

Fuck...!

He looks awesome. Just as I admired him from a distance this morning, he really is a delicious man.

Shit..! Stop digging your own grave, Diana. Concentrate! my subconscious taunted.

He looked straight ahead, not making eye contact with anyone in particular. He welcomed us and was talking about the new project deal for which we were all recruited.

I was in a trance, not because of his presence but because of his voice: the same voice that has been haunting me day and night.

Am I crazy for starting to see that stranger everywhere, or was it really him? so what if they are same person? I probably can't do anything with it; he would have already forgotten me.

By the way, I don't believe in such big coincidence, it must be my imagination.

Whatever the reason, I will never let anything affect my career. I overcame the whirlwind of thoughts after struggling for a few more seconds. I listened to him and admired his professionalism.

Damn... He is hot..!

This extremely attractive man is a huge distraction. He didn't even spare a glance my way but has already affected me several times.

He seems dangerous; I should keep my distance from him, especially since he is my boss's boss's boss, not like he will cross my path frequently.

Phew...! Finally, he was done.

He then invited everyone to a party he planned at his hotel this week.

We all stood up and clapped for his speech. I breathed a sigh of relief, glad he was leaving.

He smiled, and before leaving, he scanned the crowd. Our eyes met for an instant; faster than the speed of light.

My breath hitched and I froze!
