I couldn't shake the feeling that crept inside me when my hand has been engulfed by Elian Ruelle.
The moment I walked into that meeting room I was I felt his gaze raked all over my body.
When my eyes met his, I found myself drifting into Nirvana. It was so overwhelming.
It was so daunting because it was nothing but an illusion. An illusion of warmth, tranquillity, and safety.
But I could also see a little glimpse of darkness looming over his soul like a shadow. I could see it clearly because it was calling out to the darkness that's residing in me.
What the fuck is wrong with me? Why am I thinking about him? I need to focus!
Come on Lo, Focus!
I pushed the thoughts of him to the back of my head and I focused on the files infront of me.
I immersed myself completely in the work.
I don't know what was the time but I was startled when I heard knocks on my door.
KNOCK
KNOCK
I took a deep breath and composed myself.
"Come in," I said. Carlos entered. "You have a dinner to attend," he said.
I looked at my watch and I was surprised that it's 6:30 pm.
"Shit! Thanks for reminding me Carlos" I said as I began to gather my stuff. "You are welcome as always," he said winking at me playfully. I chuckled softly at him.
"I'm heading out so why don't you go home today early? Elle will be happy" I said as I locked my office.
"Thank you! Goodnight and have Fun" he said as he hurried into his office. I rolled my eyes. "Yeah it'll be anything but that," I said as I walked towards the elevator with Marcus following behind me.
"Goodnight" I called out to Carlos as the elevator doors shut.
We walked outside the building and Marcus opened the car door for me. "Thank you, Marcus," I said as I got in. Marcus settled in the passenger seat.
"To the Wexlyn's Mansion," I said to my driver Mathew. "Yes ma'am" he replied and the car pulled away from the curb.
I sat back in my seat as I prepared myself as if I'm going to a real war. I took deep breathes calming myself, fortifying my brain and my heart so that their words will not penetrate through my defenses.
"We are here ma'am" Mathew's voice pulled me out. I looked out.

Okay Lo, Just go in there, sit silently throughout the dinner and then get out. See Simple. You can do it.
