Seductive Secrets

Bump! The sound of two people colliding with each other was heard as Lia ran into a man on a dark suit, a nice dark tie and sunshades. He wore his suit unbuttoned, and Lia realized with shame, that in walking into the man, she had left a small dab of her lipstick on his clothes. "I'm sorry," she said trying to apologize with her cutest smile, her head slightly bowed. Then she added, "Hi, I am Lia Fernandez," as she gradually lifted her eyes to look at his face. His face seemed perfect silky dark hair and beards contrasted against soft pink lips. She was sure behind the shades lay some of the most beautiful eyes she must have ever seen, and that he must be handsome. But he appeared to be unsmiling and this unnerved her. "You almost ruined my shirt. Next time just watch where you are going okay," he said. Before buttoning his suit to cover up the stain and then stepping away, his mind still wondering who the beauty was and why he had to have such a collision on this particular morning. Lia exhaled fully. “Well, that went better than she expected,” she thought. She was soon to discover that, she would have the same man as her partner both in the elevator and beyond that. She knew she couldn't strike up any conversation with the man, but she wish she could find out exactly who he was. That was until she heard someone call out the name "Georgio Armando" and He turned around to respond with a tight smile. For a moment, it seemed all went still Lia could not believe her eyes. The only reason she was in this building was because of this same man, who she had almost decorated with her lipstick. The time simply froze in her head *********..******..**********..***********..**********...********* Georgio Armando was a name, a face, and a figure to be admired, so he had to look every inch the part, which he actually did. Standing at 6 ft 7 in, he towered above many others. Dark hair with pink lips, brown eyes and a well built body were physical attributes of Georgio Armando or prince charming as some tabloids and close friends referred to him. He inspired confidence among his subordinate and exuded a strong sense of determination and can-do spirit by his mere appearance which had propagated his business globally and carved out a niche for himself and his brand. Yet, George wanted more. Not being merely content being the CEO of one of the best shoe brands in the world. He read, trained and retrained himself regularly to be better than his previous successes while expanding the businesses he invested in such that although known primarily for shoes he had interest in other endeavors. And so, while others saw a man of means and affluence, George had built and trained his mind for success and so only saw himself as simply enjoying the rewards of his labors. He had prepared for work today as usual, dark suit on a white shirt, a dark tie with white stripes and a Rolex submariner on his wrist. He looked every inch the successful business man image he always potrayed. But now his silk shirt was stained with makeup and he was slightly annoyed. To make matters worse, the lady appeared to be following him up the elevator and headed in the general direction of his office. Well, that seemed not to matter now, Charles had called his name meaning only one thing, there was urgent business matters to be attended to. He turned his entire attention towards Charles, it was time for business. He looked at her again. When he had looked into those eyes during their brief collision, he could sense something manly, which had long died in him, trying to come back to life, but he quickly killed that thought. He had no space for her in his heart. Women were simply not for someone like him, it would only be a distraction. Moreover, the thought of office romance had never appealed to him, but it would sure feel nice to hold that body in his arms... "Control yourself Armando" he said under his breath as he wiped those thoughts off his mind.  Well that seemed not to matter now she was gone and moreover, Charles had called his name meaning only one thing, there was urgent business matters to be attended to. He turned his entire attention towards Charles, it was time for business, he had an urgent meeting to attend to. *******.....********......*********........***********..........********** Maria Walters was sure she had done a good job in hiring Lia Fernandez. She was one of the founding staff of the organization and had held her position as head of Human resource for over three years. It was a tough job as she had to deal with all manner of people. But then you don't just get to work for Georgio, if you knew nothing. She was as loving as a mother, as gentle as a dove, but could still wield her big stick on some undeserving or troublesome workers when the need arose. Right now, there was a need for a secretary for Georgio as he had fired the previous one for reasons best known to him. Now even though he denies it, he was now missing meetings and important Programs, something detrimental to the organization.  Maria knew better than anyone to pry into Georgio's personal affairs, so she had hired the seemingly capable Lia Fernandez. She was the best bet she could get by actual paper and also by work done in the aptitude test. This was seven-thirty a.m, when her phone vibrated with a call from Lia. Early on her first day at work too, the girl was scoring points. She got up immediately. She would have the pleasure of introducing her to other member of staff and to the big boss himself, the door swung open as she stepped out of her office. *****......*****......*****.....*****.....*****.....*****.....*****.....******......*****
