The London Boy (ON HOLD)

#10 Day 1 @ Wingman (Part II)

From my seat I rise a little to peak. The elevator opens with a 'ping' and Caleb steps out from it with a woman who's probably in her 50's. She seems luscious in her bob cut gray hair and her expensive suit. I presume her to be Leslie.

But she's definitely not the one I'm looking at. My eyes linger on The Greek God beside her.
Caleb is standing at the reception, collecting some documents from Ethan.
He looks so crisp and sagacious in his smoke gray pant suit. His hair are perfectly combed backwards in a slick way.

He's just so .... Handsome !

TJ approaches him at the reception and he gives him a fist bump. There's a certain excitement he is radiating. He hasn't stopped smiling since he arrived. It's so sumptuous to look at him.
He shares a word or two with TJ and he laughs. Both his dimples pop up and I find myself mindlessly gawking at him.
He is a sight to behold.

Be subtle Katherine !!

He starts walking towards his office and there is a series of 'Good Afternoons' and 'Hellos' being exchanged.
As he approaches our lane of cubicles, we all stand. Before arriving he quickly turns around and announces,
"Everybody in the conference room in 2 Minutes. Quick !!"

Ah, his voice !

Everyone scurries to the confrence room while we wait to greet him.
As he arrives to our row, his eyes meet mine. His blue eyes softens a bit more and he gives me a nod with a little smile.

"Hey Mr. Gordon."
Agnes and Andrew say in unison.

"Hey, guys. How're you doing ?"

"I'm great as always." Agnes replies.

"Me too !" Andrew says.

"Good. See you mates in the conference room."

"Yup sure !"
Andrew and Agnes leaves.

He turns his attention to me and Freddie.

"Good afternoon Mr. Gordon."
I say in a breathy voice and extend my hand.

"A very good afternoon to you too Ms. Louise."
He smiles at me and takes my extended hand and there's that spark again. A tingle running through my back. I gulp and pull back my hand and if I'm not mistaken he looks a bit amused.

Gosh !! Is this going to happen everytime ?

"Good Afternoon sir."
Freddie says and he diverts his eyes from me.

"Good Afternoon."
He nods at him politely.

"I see, you guys have acquired your places. I will brief you folks personally after the conference. 'kay ?
He says to us.

"Sure !"
We both reply.
He tells us to join the others in the conference room and on queue, Freddie moves from his side and I move from mine. I turn to pick my cellphone from my desk and as I turn back, Caleb turns too and we bump into each other and I feel a sudden heat flow through me.

Shittt !!

"I'm sorry." I quickly say and step back.

"It's fine." He says stiffling his smile.

I shift to the right and he does too, I shift to the left and he does too, and we're about to bump again..

What is going on ?????

I stop moving and he steps out of my way , bowing a little, extending his arm, gesturing me to go ahead first.

I nod and move forward. I turn back to look at him, assuming him to be gone but he is still standing there, watching me, with a goofy smile on his face.
I turn around and I can't help but smile to myself.
