Stranger In The Elevator

Part 2

A week has gone by since my new job and other than the forced politeness Mr Hartwood is showing me, everything else seems to be going fine. I have even made friends with Mira and Diana. Although their personalities are contrasting, they certainly make an awesome pair to be with. Diana,my assistant with her cool, slightly pessimistic and calm persona and Mira with her outgoing, optimistic self gives a fresh feel to our mix.
The rest of the company is otherwise very...dull..
Although,I do understand why Lady May suggested highly that I should work here. The company is a budding gold mine that would offer me amazing work opportunities and maybe a permanent place after the two years I am meant to work here. Located at the center of town,it's clientele is growing at a fast pace and more people want to be a part of the growth of the company. It started only a few years ago and has 100 staff, executives included.
All in all this place is awesome

"Set the camera up in a location she would never be able to find it." The man said over the phone while waiting for the feed to be connected directly to his camera.
A few minutes later,the man who just set up a camera in Samantha's office walks out and bumps into her on his way out.
Surprised at the sudden intrusion, the man quickly apologizes "am sorry ma'am, didn't see you there."
"What were you doing in my office?" She asks a bit defensively
"Maintenance check up ma'am"
Unconvinced,Sam nods and the man hurries out before he gets asked more questions.
Cautiously,Sam enters her office and peers around. Eventually,with a shrug,she sits on her desk and starts to work. Unaware of the camera placed at a vantage point that could see everything she is doing.

Later that night,more cameras were put in Samantha's house,her home phones bugged and her pretty flower vases tapped with sound wires.

3 months later......

With leisurely strides,I take my time walking to the glass building know as Coral Construction House. I stop for a few minutes to look back at my reflection in the glass to make sure everything is in place. Subconsciously,I straighten out my flared high waisted leather skirt and brush the non existent dirt on my cotton knit white turtle neck. Quickly I glance at my hair that has been tied up in a tight bun,let me tell you all that 4C hair is such a hustle to tame but I did it. My red stilleto heels look good and with my faux LV bag in hand,I stride confidently into the building. Quickly greeting John, the buildings security and motioning to Mira that I will call her later,I head up to the floor my office is in and quickly Diana is on her feet and is filling me in on today's activities all the way to my office.

"Oh yes and finally,you will be meeting someone in Mr Hartwoods office after our lunch." Diana concludes. Sitting down and motioning for her to do the same,I ask who it is we are meeting, "some big shot head of security guy..or was it CEO of a security company? Am not too sure"
Lifting up a questioning eyebrow at her,she shrugs "girl,I don't have to know every damn thing."
We both laugh and she stands up to leave "I will see you at lunch later,yess?"
"Of course,till then" I say politely. Satisfied with my answer,she smiles and heads out.
Now I am left to work.

Glancing at my watch,I note that it's almost lunch time. Leaning back into my chair I sigh quietly,so far works going okay. I am not totally burnt out so that's good right?
Pushing back my swivel chair,I take off my feet and place them on my desk. suddenly I hear a ping from my phone. Picking it up,I realise it's a text from Mira telling me that she and Diana are both waiting for me down stairs.
Reluctantly,I put on flat shoes I keep in my office and head out to the elevator.

As I get to the elevator,I notice it is occupied and patiently wait. A few seconds later,it pings, informing me of the person coming out. I subconsciously stand aside and wait for the person to emerge. Then the doors begin to slide open and the first thing I see are strikingly blue intense eyes and olive coloured hair. Suddenly, I feel the urge to run my hands through the hair..I catch my wayward thoughts and squeeze my hands while I fold my arms to control myself.
Next,I notice how tall the man is and how clean he looks. I soon get the inclination that the man is a perfectionist. Raising my eyes,I notice that his face is clean shaven,his pink lips are set in a straight line and his jaw is tightening. Eventually,I look up at him only to find a raised eyebrow and questioning eyes..those that tell you to get out the way and why the hell are you staring at me kind of eyes.
Clearing my throat,I stand my ground because in case he hasn't yet noticed,I am already out of his way. then and there a staring contest ensues.
Eventually,he gets the hint and walks past me while I walk into the elevator.
Although he has ruggedly good looks.. very ruggedly good looks,I am not one to cower in the presence of a man.
While the elevator shuts,I catch a glimpse of him staring intently at me while he waits at Mr Hartwoods door. As the doors slide closed,I realize that that's the CEO I am meant to meet later on and immediately,I regret my stubborn behavior.

Thank you for reading this chapter. Please don't forget to vote and comment. This is my first book so please overlook the mistakes.
I wonder who and what is keeping watch on Sam...and what is the ruggedly good looking stranger going to do to Sam at her strong behavior in their first meeting?
