I don't remember breathing because I was completely spell bound by the interior. The whole office signified wealth and power and being there was such an overwhelming experience.
Lizzy moved slightly out of my way, revealing a pensive looking man behind a large u-shaped desk scribbling something on a paper. He wore dark rectangular framed glasses and his brown hair shined under the day light illuminated through the glass walls.
On him was a dark blue suit with a white inner shirt and black tie. His wrist was clad in a gold watch with leather straps. He was certainly not as old as I had imagined but I couldn't tell how young he was.
His shoulders were broad - very broad. Now that my eyes were frozen on him, I realized he was young - very young.
After what seemed like eternity, he lifted his head....and my breath caught. His handsome features captivated me rendering me frozen - until he gave me a once-over glance and frowned.....a deep dark frown.
******************************

When Lizzy informed me that Spencer had arrived I decided to scribble down a few pointers and reminders. I was still pissed but I was going to deal with his lateness later.
I sensed eyes on me and when I looked up. There were two faces staring at me. One, my secretary and the other, a young lady with waves of curly hair which was everywhere. Was that a thing now? A new trend?
She was tall...very tall, almost my height even and I was 6ft 2 inches  so my guess was she was about 5ft 10 inches.
And thin - too thin even. Her jeans did nothing to hide her slender figure.
And Gorgeous.
Who was she? A model? Face of his company perhaps? His kid? why was she there and not Spencer?
Spencer was turning more disappointing by the minute. What kind of business man will send his kid to meet an important client?.
"Who is this?". I asked my secretary sternly.
"Spencer Sir".
"Spencer?".
"Yes Sir".
Spencer was supposed to be a man and this was a girl.... A teen-ager!

The day had started as usual, with the promise of a calm and uneventful Sunday. The office was quieter than usual, the hum of computers and the occasional phone call creating a serene backdrop. I had taken a moment to escape the confines of my cubicle and retreat to the restroom, seeking a brief respite fbefore the meeeting. That's when she barged in, her voice a sharp contrast to the tranquillity. The familiarity of her presence was like a shock to my system, bringing with it a wave of memories. The last time I saw her, it was under very different circumstances. I watched as she fumbled with her bag, clearly agitated. Her long, silky hair was the same, cascading down her back like a waterfall. It was a sight that stirred something deep within me. I remembered how that hair used to brush against my skin, a sensation both comforting and thrilling. "Ma'am, I believe this is the men's toilet," I said, trying to keep my voice steady as I washed my hands. I could see the water on the floor, a hazard waiting to happen. "Is it? Who cares? I just need to wash my hands," she mumbled, not even looking up. "You should be careful with your heels. The floor is slippery," I warned. Just as I spoke, she turned towards me, her heel skidding on the wet tile. Instinct took over, and I reached out, grabbing her waist to prevent her from falling. For a moment, time seemed to freeze. Her hair fell over her face, and the scent of her perfume filled the air. It was a heady mix of familiarity and something new, something that spoke of changes and time passed. She quickly composed herself, standing up straight and fixing her hair and shirt. When she finally looked at me, her eyes widened in recognition. "You?" she asked, her voice a mix of fury and surprise. "You?" I echoed, equally taken aback.
