(Bella POV)
My head was in pain and my heart was racing.
Out of all the people, why do I have to bump into him?
Why?
Oh my god.
"Whoa whoa," a voice came before I was stopped.
"Trying to reach the office in time is a good first impression but you should reach there in one piece" a voice came as I looked up at the owner of the voice.
"Oh, Mr. David," I said as he smiled.
"Just call me David. We are now colleagues, not to mention almost the same age" he said as I smiled.
"So tell me, there is still half an hour to sign in but still you run fast enough to not even look at which floor the elevator is," he said as my eyes widen. I looked at the elevator button to see it is just on the 2nd floor.
"Oh, sorry. I wasn’t watching where I was going
"Clearly"
I laughed and scratch the back of my head in embarrassment.
I suddenly started to feel like I was being watched. I turned around but no one was there.
"What is it?" David asked as kept looking around.
"I felt a strange feeling" I mumbled as he laughed.
"Yea. 1st day of work can be pretty nerve wrecking. Now come on." He said before he grabbed my arm and pulled me to the elevator.
As the elevator closed my eyes went to a figure standing behind the interior mini tree. My eyes widen in surprise. His eyes were somehow completely shaded but I didn't miss the angry frown that lingered on his lips.
It oddly felt similar.
Once we reach the floor I walked with David to his department. I have to pass the department to reach Mr. Blade's office.
The office was a bit quiet since there were only a few members.
"You can stay here for the time being. When it is time, just go to his office" he said as I nodded. He guided me to sit in the opposite chair as he switched on his computer.
"Hey, I don't eat from the cafeteria usually. Would you like to accompany me?" David asked still looking into his computer like it's no big deal. But I noticed how he kept giving me glances.
"I am sorry. But I am having lunch with my friends" I apologize as he nodded.
"Oh cool"
Suddenly the phone on his table rang making him jump.
"It's not time. Why are people calling early" he mumbled glaring at the phone before picking it up.
"Hello," he said and after a few seconds, his eyes widen.
"Yes. Yes sir." He said before grieving me a glance. "Yes, I will send her immediately," he said before ending the call.
"The boss wants to see you. He somehow knew you arrived" he said as my eyes widen. I gulp and looked at the door.
"Don't panic. Just act confident. That is always the key point" he said as I took a deep breath before walking past the department.
"The boss's room is a straight way from Mr. Blade's" David had said and so taking his instruction, I walked past the room.
I reached a sitting room designed in black and cream. There was a table in the corner neatly set up and a woman sitting there.
"Yes?" she said before giving a wide smile. "Arabe... I mean Isabella. It is good to see you"
"Hello, Elizabeth" I greeted the Ceo's personal assistant with a small smile.
"Mr. Anchor is waiting for you," she said as she instructed me to continue walking.
After a minute more walk, I finally reached a wooden double door.
'Mr. Levi Anchor' was written in a stylish capital letter. Taking a deep breath I just knocked on the door.
Better get this thing over.
"Come in" a deep yet familiar voice came making a shiver run down my spine.
Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling about it?
"Good morning sir," I said as I entered the room but froze as I saw who was sitting on the seat. He stared with a smile plastered on my face.
"Please sit down, Bella," he said as I nodded and obeyed, not missing the fact that he called me Bella.
"Welcome to my corporate," he said leaning forwards as I gulp and moved back involuntarily. My heart was beating so damn fast.
"T-Thank you sir" I manage to say as he tilted his head and gave me a smile.
"What do you think of this company? Do you like it?" he asked as I scrunched my eyebrow in confusion.
Huh? What kind of question is that?
"It is a nice company, sir," I replied as he hummed.
"Would you like coffee?" he asked as I shook my head.
"No thank you," I said as he shrugged. A silence filled the room. Both of us didn't talk. While I sit there not knowing what to do, Mr. Anchor was staring at me. I glanced at him and then to some other object, feeling very uncomfortable.
He was the CEO? Oh my god!
All the past flashback of encountering him filled my head making me blush.
I made a complete mess out of myself.
"What are you thinking, Bella" he voiced as I snapped out of my head and looked at him with wide eyes.
"I....." I stopped as my eyes landed on his. It was beautiful. Midnight black with gold streaks. I have never seen anything like that. When I entered the room, the gold streak was not prominent but now it was clearer.
And it was definitely not the first time I have seen them. They seem so familiar and I was not talking about the familiarity from the last two meets we had. It was much more.
"Have we met before?" the question came right out of my mouth. His eyes widen in shock, the gold streaks appearing more clearer.
But before he could open his mouth, the door opened and both of us turned around.
"Good morning sir, Good morning Isabella," he said as I stood up.
"Good morning, Mr. Blade," he said as he nodded before looking at Mr. Anchor.
"Can I talk with Mr. Anchor, Isabella? I will call you once it's over" he said not leaving his eyes from Mr. Anchor.
"O-of course," I said before walking out. Once the door closed I groaned and slammed my forehead to the wall.
"Had we met before? What the hell was I thinking" I murmured lighting tapping my head on the forehead.
I can't believe I said that. What was I thinking!!
