                   Elijah's POV
"Mum, please stop crying" My mother was hugging and kissing me like I'm still a little kid while wandering eyes around us were staring.

I'm currently at Heathrow Airport because my father and his business partner of ChenSheng made a decision for the heirs of both companies to work together and get acquainted for future business reasoning.

I don't want to do this but I don't have much of a choice.

"My precious baby boy, I'm going to miss you so much" She burst into tears again making a scene.

You guessed it right, I am a 22-year-old mama's boy and I'm not ashamed of it.

"Mum stop overreacting, it's not like I'll never see you again" I tried to assure her.

"But I won't see you for a year," She says wiping her tears.

"Mum, I'll visit it whenever I can ok and I'll be back before you know it" I press a kiss on her forehead and hugged her.

"Tell Dad, he's very wrong for doing this to me" Mum let out a cry-laugh.

I'm not even sure that's a real thing.

I pulled away from the hug and signal the bodyguard to protect my mum on their way back home.

Time Skip...

10 hours later I finally arrived at JFK airport. My father told me to call him as soon as I arrived, he picked up at the first ring.

"Hello son did you arrive safely," He asked candidly.

"Yes father, I got here in one piece" I rolled my eyes.

"When you walk out of the airport you will see an older gentleman holding a sign with your name, he's going to take you to ChenSheng and later on to the penthouse. Son, I already set everything up so do not disappoint me" I listened closely to the instructions.

Great, I don't even get to rest after a long-arse flight.

I saw the black car with a middle-aged man with salt and pepper hair holding a card with 'Newton' written on it while looking around.

I went up to him "Hello Jonathan, I am Elijah Newton I'm sure my father told you about my arrival" I shook his outstretched hand smiling.

"Yes he told me about your arrival a few minutes ago" Jonathan responds politely.

He opened the backseat door for me to enter then he ran over to the other side got into the driver seat "Shall we go?" He asked.

"Yes of course" I nodded my head.

I must say New York City is a wonderful city very beautiful even though this isn't my first time being here.

45 mins later we reached ChenSheng a very large skyscraper building in the heart of Manhattan.

I thanked Jonathan for his service and he told me to call him after my meeting with the CEO.

I sauntered off to the Receptionist desk "Good morning, I have a meeting with the CEO, Mrs. Chen" I informed.

"What is your name, sir," After identifying myself, the young lady made a quick phone call and hung up after.

"Mr. Newton, she's expecting you just take the private elevator on the right end corner and press the 56th floor to take you to her office" She offered me a kind smile and I did the same thanking her.

I turned around walking to the directions of the elevator and saw it slowly closing and a glimpse of someone wearing an all yellow "Please hold the door" I instantly yelled out.

The elevator opened and revealed one of the prettiest sight I've ever seen.

A beautiful dark skin woman, her shoulder-length hair was jet blue, dark chocolate eyes staring at me in wonder and full lips coated in clear lip gloss.

I walked in the elevator saying thank you and she looked at me in astonishment with her mouth slightly parted.

I smirked knowing that she was checking me out so I waved my hand in her face and no response seconds later she snapped out of it.

"Oh I'm sorry I blanked out," She said shyly in a small voice while looking down 'how cute'

"It's fine Love, I was just saying thank you," I think my voice got a little deeper when I said 'Love'
"The name's Elijah Newton" I outstretched my hand for her to shake.

She looked up with those mesmerizing chocolate eyes staring deep into mine.

"Nalia Andrews," she said quietly shaking my hand.

'Beautiful name for a beautiful woman. My Lia' I wanted to say it out loud but it'll probably freak her out.

When our hands touched a tinge of electricity went through my body and I think she felt the sensation because her eyes widen in surprise.

We heard the elevator ding and I let hesitatingly let go of her small hand
and we both got off.

I turned to her "See you around, Love" I took her right palm turning it around and kissed it winking at her in the process.

Nalia seemed very surprised by the little gesture and the smile never once left my face as I walked away.
