The CEO's Love Interest

Vera

The moment I stepped inside the building, I was stunned by the sheer elegance of it. The office boasted of expensive decor. Antiques had been specially flown in from all over the world, I was told.

Crazy.

The place was huge. Everywhere I looked, I was faced with a vast expanse of opulent white. What surprised me the most that not only the walls and the floor but everything else was white too. Even the computers and the laptops, only color added to the place was by the black suits worn by the people who milled around hurriedly, probably the employees and the staff.

I threw a nervous glance upon my attire. Should I have worn black too?

Maybe.

But nobody informed me.

I nervously clenched and unclenched my hands, straightened up pulling myself to my full height of 5'5" for all I was worth and kept my eyes on the red head in front of me, the clicking sound of my heels echoing as I followed her through a relatively empty corridor.

Although I was sure that losing people in this huge office wouldn't be that difficult but the chances of losing a red head seemed pretty dim to me.
They could be easily spotted in any crowd provided the croad didn't entirely consist of red heads alone.

Even in this over crowded office, I was sure that the only red head I had happened to encounter till now was the one who was currently walking in front of me. She was dressed in a crisp, nicely pressed charcoal grey suit and her hair was in a perfectly twisted chignon, not a hair out of place. She walked so purposefully, her stature screaming confidence.

Why couldn't I have put on a better outfit and maybe a comfortable pair of heels? Why this 5 inch pair of sheer torture?

I cursed inwardly as my heels dug into my feet and I almost tripped thrice.

Almost.

Thank you God, for not letting me fall and for saving my sorry ass.

God, I was so nervous.
