Meeting Mr.Arrogant

Three years later

''Drew get the tool-box'',my boss ordered.
''Coming up'',I replied as I went to get it from the counter.
I was still working as a part-time car mechanic.
Especially because for Damien,my boss.
He was a good guy and I had taken a liking for the job.
On the other hand,I was training hard,hell-bent on carving a career out of baseball.
I had enrolled myself in the club ''Bear Markers'' after graduating from high school as it was one of the famous baseball teams in our city.
With my perseverance and hard work,I was chosen as the captain to lead our team.We took part in national level baseball games to hone our skills.
I dreamt of playing for my country one day.
Besides that,I was taking online classes on sports education.I wanted a college degree.
My life was as hectic as ever.
Too much on my plate but who was regretting?
Sophia was three years old by now and one of the most active babies I had ever seen.
I had moved out of my parent's house a year ago.
I had rented an apartment in Downtown Stelling.
A three roomed cozy flat equipped with a bathroom and a kitchen.
More than enough.
I had even appointed a babysitter named Emily for Sophia.
She is like my sister.She spends most of the time in my flat.
She takes care of my house when I am away on trips.
Our club travelled most of the time.
Whenever I was home,I tried to spent as much time as possible with Sophia.My mom comes over everyday to lend a helping hand to Emily when am away on my trips.
Damien is good enough to allow me to work for him when am free and at home.
My payment is same as that of his other mechanics who work for him full-time.
Not fair for them,agreed but more than fair for me.
It's because of this pay that I can afford to live independently and provide for Sophia's needs.
All in all,everything's going on fairly well.
The screeching sound of a car's horn caught my attention.
I looked out to see a black and grey striped Porsche in front of our shop.
I got out to see if there's any problem.
The door of the car opened and it's owner came out.
Removing his aviator glasses,he walked up to me.
Hazel eyes,dark brown fluffy hair and pale skin-he looked like a Greek God to me.
Dressed in sleek black suit and pants with a grey tie-there was an aura of sexiness around him.His taunt muscles flexed under his shirt.
Never had I been enraptured by a guy's appearance.
He stood in front of me and ran a hand through his hair.
Slender,long fingers.
Did I just think that?
I looked up at him awestruck.
He eyed me up and down and gave me a lopsided smirk.
God!
That was just too sexy!
What?
Sexy?
Really?
What the hell am I thinking?
I mentally scolded myself.
Stop drooling over a guy.
I tried to compose myself.
''Hey can you take a look at my car?It's causing too much noise'',he said.
Nice voice.
Husky,rough and sexy.
What?
Again sexy?
Something's wrong with me.
My heart started beating faster as he stared at me.It felt as if he would hear the beats.
I licked my lower lip and answered,''Yes sure.''
I proceeded to the car and started checking it.
After ten minutes,I figured the problem.
''Well it looks like your car's engine is damaged.It needs to be changed.We can do that if you leave your car here.By tomorrow,it would be as good as new'',I said as I came near him.
He stared at me quietly and said,''And that's it?Such a simple thing and it took you so long to figure it out.Useless.''
My mouth hung open at his words.
Since he was one of our clients,I swallowed the insult and replied as politely as possible,''Sorry sir for the delay.''
He narrowed his eyes at me and replied,''Tomorrow at 8 in the evening.''
''What sir?'',I asked confused.
''I want my car fixed by then.My secretary will come to pick it up'',he said and turned on his heels to go.
''Wait sir'',I shouted.
He stopped and turned towards me scrunching his eyebrows.
''Under what name am I going to register your car?You didn't tell your name'',I said.
A soft smile spread on his lips suddenly as he replied,''Sean.''
He turned his back on me and took out his cell from his pocket,making a call.
''Hello.Yeah Sean speaking.Ask Xander to pick me up from 64 Crossing Street,Park Avenue right now.I am getting late for the meeting'',he spoke as he walked away with long strides.
I stared at his retreating figure in a daze.
''Earth to Drew?'',I was snapped back to reality hearing Damien's voice.
''Yeah?'',I asked.
''I had been calling you over ten tim--woah!Whose baby is this?'',he asked pointing at Sean's Porsche.
''Uh an arrogant guy's named Sean.The car's engine is causing some problems,so I asked him to leave it here for today.His secretary would come to pick it up tomorrow morning'',I explained.
''Sean?Wait wait,is it Sean Ryder's?'',he asked in surprise.
''He didn't say his surname.So I have no idea'',I replied honestly.
Damien turned around and made his way inside the garage,leaving me with a frown.
Soon he returned with a magazine in his hands and tossed it in my direction.
I caught it and looked at the cover photo.
And lo!The sex god himself was smiling at me through the covers.
Wait,did I just think that?
I think am seriously sick else such thoughts naturally do not swarm through my mind.
But indeed the man in suit and tie,with a dazzling smile looked stunningly drop dead gorgeous in the photo.
''Is it him?'',Damien asked curiously.
''Uh yes.Why?'',I asked.
''OMG!I can't believe it.Sean Ryder,the billionaire himself came here and you didn't bother to even call me?Obviously such an expensive Porsche cannot be an ordinary customer's'',he squealed in excitement.
''He is a billionaire?'',I asked in confusion.
''You mean you don't know about Sean Ryder?'',he asked unbelievably.
I nodded.
''Are you crazy?Sean Ryder is the head of Ryder Companies,one of the leading business associations in the world and the most elligible bachelor currently.He is 28 years old and reported to be dating the supermodel Meloney Adams.How the hell are you so ignorant?'',he asked.
''Uh because I am not fond of reading gossip magazines like you.I bet you have swallowed all these information from those crappy talk shows'',I replied boredly.
''You won't understand'',he replied glaring at me.
''Fine'',I said raising my hands in defeat.
''If you have finished ranting about those gossip shows can I go back to finishing my work now?I have to repair the Porsche's engine and go back home soon.Sophia will be waiting you know'',I added.
''Okay.But I still can't believe you didn't recognise Sean Ryder.I mean the Sean Ryder!'',he muttered to hinself as he disappeared inside the garage.
I shook my head and let out a heavy sigh.
No matter who Sean Ryder is,all I know is that he is one arrogant guy to handle.
He maybe a billionaire but you just can't go around insulting people flatly.He doesn't own the damn world.
Rude!
I huffed to myself as I began repairing Mr.Arrogant's Porsche.
