You Melt My Heart

Episode 6

*in the CEO's office*

*Keisha knocks*

"Come in."

We entered the CEO's office. We see him standing with his back facing us and staring out the window. His hair slicked back and in his nice expensive suit and tie.

"Mr. Bolvio. These are our two new florists. Grace Finch and Arissa James."

When we were introduced, Mr. Bolvio didn't even twitch. Instead he was as still as ice.

"Welcome to FloralShine."

Finally, he said something.

*Mr. Bolvio turns around*

When I saw his face, I suddenly recognized him. He was the jerk that I saw at Springmaid Hotel. What was he doing here? CEO? This must be a joke. My eyes widen and I froze for a moment. I looked at his face and it was such a poker face. No expressions at all, still with the death stare. I wonder if he remembers me. I hope he doesn't.

*Grace makes a move*

"Hi there, Mr. Bolvio. I'm Grace Finch. I'm very honored to be working here at FloralShine."

This was the first time I saw Grace smiled so seductively and flirtatiously.

His eyes averted to me from Grace. I don't know what to do or what he was thinking.

"Hi...Mr. Bolvio. I'm...Arissa...Arissa James. I'm also very honored to be working here."

"Mmh"

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. He said nothing but just made a "mmh" sound. He walks back to his desk but doesn't sit in his chair yet.

"You guys may leave."

*Grace, Keisha, and Arissa started walking away*

"Not you."

All of us paused. I was hoping he wasn't talking to me.

"Mr. Bolvio, who are you talking to?"

Thankfully Keisha made a move.

"Arissa. You two may leave now."

I stopped walking and I saw Grace giving me the ugliest look. I had to calm myself down. Don't make any weird movement or talk weirdly. Act normal and he may be lenient. I walk up to his desk and this time he takes a seat in his chair.

"Mr. Bolvio, you wish to see me."
...
He observes me then spoke.

"I don't wish to see you at all."

My heart dropped and my face showed it all. I couldn't even say anything at this point.

"You think I don't remember you?"

*Mr. Bolvio picks up Arissa's profile*

"Arissa James. 24 years old. Just got out of college, huh."

*slams the file on the desk, startling Arissa*

*he stands up with his hands on the desk*

"What is it that you want? You approached me, spilled wine on me, and now this? Didn't I say to stay away from me?"

I was so afraid I didn't know what to do but listen.

*Mr. Bolivia starts walking towards Arissa slowly, Arissa slowly walks backwards every step Mr. Bolvio takes*

"You really like me that much? Do you plan to follow me forever?"

*Mr. Bolvio gets closer to Arissa and quickly grabs Arissa by the waist and pull her into his arms*

*Arissa resists*

"Isn't this what you want? To be close to me like this."

I couldn't believe what he was doing. Was he a pervert? I tried resisting but it didn't work.

*Mr. Bolvio tried to kiss Arissa*

*Arissa steps on his foot and pushes him away*

"Forgive me for being rude. But you're way too narcissistic. I came here for a job and not for any other reasons. You've gone overboard. Sure we bumped into each other in the past, but that doesn't mean that I necessarily like you, or try to follow you. Just today, about thirty minutes ago I realized you were the CEO of FloralShine. I apologize for stepping on your foot, but I'm not apologizing for anything I said. If you want to fire me, by all means."

*Arissa leaves the office but turns around to say one last thing*

"By the way, whatever happened in this office will stay in the office."

* Mr. Bolvio bending over trying to remedy his foot with his hand watching Arissa leave*

"What a devilish girl."
