Undeniable Attraction

Chapter 6

Valentine Jones:-

I was sitting in my company office, designing my new designs when there was a knock on my door and entered my assistant Shirley with a smile on her face and placed the file on the desk.

"Afternoon, Miss. Jones, this is the file of your new collection that just came out and needed your sign on it. And there is a girl named Sophia Smith waiting for you in the corridor. She handed me your card and said that you gave it to her and asked her to come and meet." Shirley said, and I remembered the girl from my show because of his arrogant but hot brother, which I can't get out of my mind.

"Yes, please let her in," I said and picked up the file and started to go through it. After a few minutes, Sophia entered holding a portfolio in her hand with a polite smile on her face, and even she was wearing one of my collections in navy blue color.

"Hi, Miss Jones. It is so good to see you again. Sorry for coming unannounced, but I really wanted to show you my designs, and I will like to work for you. Although my brother won't approve of it when we own our own company which worth billions of dollars."

"It good to see you too. And can I know the name of your brother if he owns a company." I said, "and please take a seat and show me your portfolio and your designs. If they attract me, I will think of appointing you."

"Oh, thank you so much," Sophia said and handed me her portfolio, "and my brother's name is Elijah Smith of Smith Holdings Inc, and I am the partner of it. But I am not interested in that type of business. My mind is on fashion and dresses." I nodded and looked at the designs which she designed, and her sketching was good. I was impressed with her and her designs. I am in need of designers like her.

"Sophia, I must say I am impressed with your designs, and I would love it if you would like to work for me. Although these designs need some working, we will train you for perfection." I said.

"Really, I am going to work for this brand? You like my designs?" Sofia exclaims.

"I love them, and I really want you to work for me." I replied with a smile, "so when can you join?" I ask.

"I can join any day, but there are some days I need to be at my own company. So, will you allow me those days?" she asks.

"We can work with that," I said.

"Then I will join it from tomorrow," she said, getting up and extended her hand for a shake, "and I am sorry again for my brother's behavior the other day. And to be honest, he called me this morning to apologize to you personally and wanted to come, but I didn't let him as you asked me to come alone."

"Well, tell him that I forgive him, but be careful next time if we meet by chance again." I said, "now I have got some work to do. I will meet you tomorrow." I said she nodded and bid her goodbye, then walked out. Once she was out, I opened my Macbook and googled Elijah Smith. And the results that come were mindblowing and scandalous. According to the tabloids, he is a manwhore, but when it comes to business, he is a shark in the sea. I started to look at his images, and in every picture, he looks hot and handsome, and I can see why girls threw themselves at him, but I am no other girl. I was still looking at his pictures when my assistant Shirley entered with a confused expression, and I looked at her concerned.

"Shirley, what happened? Is everything fine?" I ask.

"Ma'am, you need to come out and look at it yourself." Was all she replied and walked out of the office. I got up from my chair and followed her out and gasped when I looked at my executive floor. My whole level was filled with different kinds of flower bouquet, and I mean to say every corner was filled with flowers like it is a florist shop, not a fashion company.

"Who sent it?" I ask Shirley, all shocked, "And who are they for?"

"Miss. Jones, they all are for you, and there is a note that comes along with it." She replied and handed me the note. I opened and read it out.

"Please forgive me for my behavior the other day. I am sorry. I don't know which one is your favorite flower, so I sent you every flower that florists own. Hope I am forgiven now –E.S."

A smile forms on my face, and I folded back the note and placed it inside my pocket. I can't believe this man Elijah Smith just sent me this many flowers. I was still in deep thoughts when the elevator door opened, and he was standing there with a smile on his face.

"So, am I forgiven now?" he asked with a sexy smile on his face and was holding a gift bag in his hand.

"What are you doing here?" I looked at him shocked while he just shrugs his shoulder and took steps towards me,
