Let's Spell, Us (Us, Book One Completed)

Chapter Two

I’m going to the company now, since Maya said that she already recommended me to her friend after I submit all the requirements needed and his friend Roran was willing to meet me, so today is the day my fate will be tested again.

“Good morning!” I greeted as soon as I get inside to the main door and a pleasant security greeted,

“Good morning, ma’am! What can we do for you?” He asked politely while I was about to answer,

“Excuse me, you must be Arielle Hall?” I heard someone called me and when I look at my back to see him? “Whoa! What a great coincidence we had here! Your the girl on the street with a dog, right?” He said almost near to smirk.

“Hmmm…” I don’t know what to react? Should I be nice or still rude with him? “Hmmm… I did not come here to make business with what happened, but to talk with your boss, please?” I said controlling my temper and act still nice.

“Follow me, Arielle.” He said smiling and like what he said I followed him and took a nice view with the whole place. “So, welcome to Sanders Corporation.” He said and smile at me while entering to this office if I’m not mistaken his office. “Please, sit!” He added. 

As my eyes got glued to the carved name on the wall, Roran Austin Sanders. Oh my! I guess, his the guy that Maya mentioned to me. So, now I’m actually talking to the boss and to the guy I almost scolded from the last time. I need to make my good impression as possible.

“So! Arielle.” He paused and just stare at me awkwardly, I try to breath normal and calm but my heart is pumping so fast, didn’t he heard that? “So, your name is Arielle. A wonderful name for a triggered lady from the last time.” He smirk and clears his throat.

“Excuse me? Are you messing up with me?” I said trying to be nice. Be nice! As I repeat it on my head.

“Nope! Does that bother you?” He said, “Anyway, I’m Roran Austin Sanders,which obviously you’ve seen it from the carve behind me, but you can freely call me Roran.” He said introducing with an offer of a shake,

“Nice meeting you, Roran!” I said slightly raising my eyebrows and smile, “And, I’m Arielle Kate Hall, call me Miss Hall.” I said smiling,

“Aren’t you gonna let me call you Arielle or Kate?” Roran confusedly said and gave me a narrow stare,

“Nope!” I said still in my nice but arrogant answer, “Only close to me can call me by my name or like if we already have a strong build relationship…”

“Strong relationship, I like that.” He said interrupting me, and gave me a weird stare again. Why is he like that, that stingy stare.

“What I mean there, is if we are like friends?” I said trying to clear that questionable stare. “Like you as my boss if I was going to be hired, then I will be your employee.” I added.

“I know what you mean, Miss Hall.” He said giving a strong tune on my last name. “You know, I like you!” He added,

“I like you, as my boss!” I said making sure. What am I thinking?

“I like your attitude, mysterious and dangerous.” Roran said. Does that really have to be on an interview?

“So what do you think, Roran?” I asked still in my mood.

“Here! Can we have an agreement too, like what you did. Can you call me, Mr. Sanders instead, just to be fair with you, Miss Hall.” He said and smile arrogantly.

“If that’s the case then, Mr. Sanders.” I simply said, then suddenly he grab something on the drawer beside him a white folder and stood up. Why is he so rushy like you’ll be surprise with his actions at any moment.

“Follow me, Miss Hall!” This time his being soft and nice. I followed to him through and pass this people on work with their tasks then me without a thought I bump to his back because I got caught by the mini garden on the outside,

“Oh my gosh! I’m so sorry, Mr. Sanders!” I sincerely said and seemed so shy for bumping. Oh! FYI, he smells so good.

“I’ll let that pass but next time try to look on your front, Miss Hall.” He said whispering the last word before my name. “Anyway, this is your office. It’s not that really organized but you can manage that if you want.” He said as we get inside the office.

The glass walls, the good color of the carpet, the cooling breeze of the air-conditioned and the enough view of the mini garden outside is so perfect. I love the location of my office. I look at Mr. Sanders and what am I seeing,

“Miss Hall?” I didn’t noticed that I’m already staring at him. Awkward! “Are you okay?” He asked,

“Of course, I am! I just love the whole view.” I said,

“Whole view?” He asked with that awkward stare again,

“Yea! The room, the table is so good and the mini garden on the outside.” I said pointing at the outside, that shifted his guard, he immediately skip a glance and changed the topic,

“About your schedules and task. I gathered them all inside that folder and if you need anything, just call Brenda to guide you further.” Mr. Sanders said, and walk off to my office without saying anything. Did I just said something wrong about the mini garden or he was just like that?
