She doesn't know the power she has.. He's been watching and waiting... The only thing in his way is the man that's already claimed her...
"Yes, Mr. Mezzanotte has been expecting you."
"And what about you?" His flirtations were not lost on her. But she tried her best to keep business and work separate... when it suited her. Right now, did not suit her, Nicolai was not in the best of moods so instead of playing into his hands, she stood to show him in. Oh, she knew she looked good. The forest green pencil skirt hugged her curves, the tan silk blouse was a perfect match for the heels she wore. Today she was going for the sexy soldier look. This morning, she noted how well the colors she chose looked against her dark brown skin and fuchsia lipstick. Because pops of color... duh Just like before, she could feel his eyes on her as she ushered him into the office.
"Mr. Mezzanotte, Mr. Valdron is here to see you." The smolder Nicolai was wearing bore deep into her being. It was almost like he was disapproving of the conversation she just had. But that was impossible, his door was closed and there was at least five feet from her desk to his door. Valdron had yet to enter the room so looking back, she met his waiting gaze. Just like earlier, she was taken in, finding that Nicolai wasn't the only man with an atmosphere that she'd like to get lost in.
"Thank you, honeybee." And just like that she went down the rabbit hole.
