Sky's POV-
Well the cut looks and feels pretty deep but I don't have time to worry about it. I just threw myself a challenge out there by actually getting defensive when Jeffrey questioned my ability to do my job. I can't look bad in front of him because seeing a look of disappointment on his face is not an option. It would break my already battered heart.
Finally he went back to his office and I was able to let out a hugh breath that I had no clue I was holding in. I try not to say too much to him because my fear is that he'll see right through me and discover my feelings for him, fire me and well, let's not dwell on the horrible.
After some time, I look at the clock on Loretta's desk and realize that it's 9am. The client is due to arrive at 11am. The conference room is as ready as it's ever going to be. I made multiple copies of the agenda, went out and picked up the finger food that was pre-ordered the day before and spread it out quite nicely along the back wall of the conference room where the serving tables have been set-up. The drinks are ready. God I haven't eaten anything since...yesterday morning, I think, but although my stomach is trying to remind me of this, I'm just too nervous to eat.
I walked over quickly to Jeffrey's office to give him a status on the preparations for the meeting and to see if there was anything else he needed. As I entered, suddenly the room spun a little and the next thing I knew I was in his arms. What the... Oh.My.God, every part of my body vibrated with this wave of utter ecstacy that seemed to radiate from the core of my stomach. I looked up into Jeffrey's green eyes and am rendered speechless. He says, "Oh my God are you okay?" and I respond, " Yeah sure. Just lost my step." To which he replied, "Uh no you almost fainted. If I hadn't caught you I'm pretty sure you would be passed out on the floor. What's going on? Are you really okay?" I looked over at him and nodded because anything more and I would have been fired for my actions because throughout the entire conversation one thing was constant, his arms were around my waist holding on tight and I could feel a stirring that in my mind was bringing back the memories. I didn't want to fall apart in his arms. Not in front of him.
