The CEO's Diamond

Part 5

She knocked gently, hearing a short "Come in" before she opened the door, already having her "I'm all business" expression on.

Like most women out there, she had moments when she was conscious of her body. But usually, at work that didn't happen. She always made sure to dress appropriately. That day she was wearing a knee-length black and white patterned pencil skirt, that wasn't awfully tight on her, but she had to admit her bottom had always been a bit more generous, and any pair of trousers or skirts managed to hug it a little too tight.

The boss was talking on the phone, in Italian, but his gaze was fixed on her face for a few long moments, before his eyes roamed down her body. She hasn't felt that conscious about herself in some time. Following his blatant gaze, Ana felt the need to give herself an up and down look, to make sure once again that there wasn't anything inappropriate in her attire.

Where most of the time she was completely disgusted or having none of it when it came to the men she was working with checking her out so blatantly and without shame, that time it was different.

Ana could feel the color gather in her cheeks, annoyingly. Way to look confident, while all red in the face and feeling embarrassed by your own body's reaction and your naughty imagination while in front of your boss, she thought.

She could see the shadow of a smirk on his face as their eyes met once again, and she could only imagine the doubt-founded look she had on. Yes, she was very much a virgin, not really bothered by it and not considering it a big deal. But, Ana hated it when it showed and when she was acting exactly like one!

He gestured for her to take a sit in front of his desk, and Ana took it, grateful. She didn't have to stand in the middle of the room awkwardly anymore. Trying to busy herself with something, she opened her notebook and checked all the things she had to do for the day, ticking those she had already done and realizing she needed to have a meeting with her department's boss in less than 30 minutes.

Taking her phone out of the blazer's pocket, she quickly texted Amelia, asking her to print the report document opened on her computer so it would be easier for her to arrive in time for the meeting with the other boss.

At the same time she was concentrating on what the CEO was discussing on phone, as she had a strong knowledge of Italian, and trying not to seem like she noticed a thing or understood anything.

Imagine Ana's surprise when he suddenly put a stop to the conversation, finishing with "We will discuss with the others at dinner tonight. I have to leave you now, Eduardo. I have a beauty waiting for me right now."

Her brain, taken back for a single second there, tried to find an explanation for the "beauty" mentioned. He could have been lying just to get out of the conversation quickly, while the man at the phone probably thought he was about to have some steady action with some very hot possibly blonde right in his office.

Too bad she was a brunette and working for him, either than being there for his pure entertainment.

"Excuse me, Miss Davis. It was a very important call." , he said once he put the phone done, studying her carefully.

"Yes, I could tell." , she murmured, busy writing something in her notebook before she locked eyes with him again. Her heart was thumping as she realized once again that he had amazing eyes, and her cheeks were once again filled with a bloom of uncomfortable color. His dark eyes matched his dark hair, the olive complexion and his strong, aggressive, foreign features. He truly looked like a Greek god, be it daylight or nighttime. The fact that he was more handsome than Ana's memory could ever recall made her feel nervous again.
