Running Into You

Chapter 6: Meeting with the CEO

I think of it every time,

That I look at the stars;

This memory is mine

But that moment was ours.

Cyndiana Collins POV

The next day I woke up at seven in the morning, got ready and took a cab to the hotel. Within thirty minutes I was standing outside the Paradise hotel. It was all the same but somehow felt different maybe because I saw him here yesterday.

As soon as I was in my office, Daniel arrived again with a pile of files in his hand and said:
" get up baby, time to meet the devil."
I looked at him waiting for an explanation but he simply ignored me instead he grabbed my hand and pulled me inside the conference room.

Everyone was there except the CEO, we patiently waited until a young gentleman entered the room who looked sinfully handsome in his black suit just as the one I saw in my dream, followed by a young but short blonde who was showing off her body too much with a mini brown skirt and a white top. Needless to say with a ton of loud makeup, I guess she was his personal assistant.

I could not see him properly but yet I could say that almost every girl and woman inside the conference room had their eyes fixed on him. As soon he came in view I was shocked. His P.A introduced him to everyone: "this is our new CEO Mr. Ryan Smith."
After ten minutes the meeting was over I quickly got up from my seat to go out when all of a sudden he ordered me to stay. Why me, I whispered to myself.

Ryan Smith's POV

I was happy to see her after these years, I didn't want to admit but yet I missed her so much that I don't want her to disappear again from my eyes anymore. That's the reason why I bought this hotel as I knew she was in need of a job to be able to help her family and pursue her higher studies. I knew she would apply for a job here. But why is she nervous? Isn't she happy to see me here? She still has the habit of playing with her pen whenever she is sad or angry which I find really cute.

As soon the meeting was over I knew she would be the first one to go out that's why I ordered her to stay because I wanted to hear her voice once, I wanted to feel her close to me after all these years of distance. I was the first one to break the growing silence between us I asked her how she was and she merely looked at me in the eye. Her beautiful pale brown eyes expressed anger and frustrations. Yet affected me so much. I must admit that without any makeup, she still looked the prettiest girl in the office. We stared at each other for a while when suddenly she walked out of the room leaving me speechless.

Cyndiana Collins's POV

The devil yes that name suits him so well. Why is he back after all these years and what did he expect that I would smile at him or worst run into his arms after he left without saying anything. I admit that I missed him each second of my life but that does not mean I'm  desperate, I'm  also a human, I've got  feelings, I'm not a bloody toy that he would play around with and I won't let him play either.

Ryan Smith's POV

After a week passed by, each time we would cross paths in the office she would simply ignore me as if for her I  did not exist. I was fed up when I finally decided to make her jealous with my P.A in order to get a reaction out of her. It was easy as the latter is  always trying to seduce me. After all the several attempts I made, she ignored us. Then on one fine day, I was in my office enjoying the beautiful view in front of me when Cyndiana knocked at the door. I ordered her to come in. She looked so pale with dark circles under her eyes as if she did not sleep last night. I became worried instantly but didn't wanted to show her. Yet I asked her what was wrong and as always she merely looked at me. Her eyes were full of pain and to my surprise she handed me a letter and went out without uttering a word. It was a resignation letter.
What? she can't do this.
I have to stop her but how?
Or Maybe I have the answer.
