(Bella POV)
"This datasheet is this year's graph of company profit. Every month we have a meeting discussing the statistics and uplifting. As your first task, I need you to analyze the graph, note the changes made in this month compared to the last three months, the positive and negative aspects, and all other necessary analysis. The meeting will be tomorrow. Everything you need is in the email I sent you a few minutes ago. You can talk to employers and get their point of you. Can you do that?" Mr. Blade asked as I nodded confidently.
I can't do this!
"If you have any doubt, you can ask me or Mr Anchor," he said before walking off.
Yea I will ask you. I rather avoid Mr. Anchor. But a part of me wants to be close to him.
At the lunch break, I met with David and he invited me for lunch. My college friends are on fieldwork so I was anyway alone for lunch breaks.
"Hey guys, look who I found," David said as he sat on a table filled with people. A few of the faces I had recognized from the office.
"Hello," I said. They all were so sweet and friendly and I actually enjoyed my lunch even though I am always known to be bad around people.
"Hey, Bella" a voice came as I turned around.
"Oh. Elizabeth! Hey!"
"I hope work is going well for you." she asked as I nod.
"Yes. It is going good until now" she smiled and nodded before excusing herself and walking to the table on the further right. I turned to my lunch mates to see them staring with wide eyes.
"What?" I asked confused.
"You were just talking to the boss's personal assistant?!" the blond guy said as I frowned.
"Umm yea?" I was confused by his expression. On all their expressions.
"Dude, she works as the intern of Mr. Blade. Of course, she will know her" Frank spoke as the latter nodded.
"Yea, that's true but they talked so casually! Have you ever seen that woman smile?" he replied as the others on the table nodded in agreement.
"Is anything wrong? I don't understand what you guys are talking about" I finally asked clearly feeling utterly confused.
"Well...This Company does not seem like it but the company actually has an unspoken hierarchy." Samantha, the short hair brunette said as I frowned.
"Hierarchy?" I asked as she nodded.
"Yes. There are some employees in this company. We call them the elite group. High standard people who keep things within the group. They are considered important employees in the company. They never talk to us. It's like they live in their own elite bubble. Miss Elizabeth is one of them." Another said as I looked at them with wide eyes.
"Yea. I am sure that if this company didn't have the motto 'employer friendly' they would get special lunch and washrooms." The blonde said air quoting the words 'Employer friendly'
"Oh come on. Don't make the poor girl go crazy" David said before giving me a smile. "What they are trying to say is that it's shocking that she actually took the effort to come here and greet you"
My eyes unknowingly kept glancing at the Elite's table. It was a group consisting of about 6 persons. They all looked intimidating. The worst part that kept giving me shivers is the fact that they kept looking at me. All six of them including Miss Elizabeth. As if they are talking about me.
After lunch, I straight away went to the storage room to collect the data I need for tomorrow's project. I honestly thought the storage room was small and dusty, causing me to sneeze the hell out of me. But it was large and very neat. The room is almost similar to the rest of the office room.
But then again David and the others told me the room I am going to is the one used by the elite group. Maybe that is why the room is very clean.
"Ok." I mumbled taking out a piece of paper from my pocket. I had written the file number. I just need to search for them. The files were arranged according to numbers so I was very lucky.
"File 1872/3" I repeated in my mind looking through their numbers.
"1871/8....1871/9..." I mumbled reading the file number but stopped as I heard a sound.
"What are you doing?" the sound sent shivers down my spine. I froze on the spot, not even turning around.
Shit. I recognized his voice so clearly. It was so damn similar to the ones in my dream.
"Miss Isabella" the voice called again.
"Yes sir?"I called without even turning around. I can't. My legs felt stiff and my mind was getting cloudy.
"You know it is rude not to turn back" I shivered immediately feeling his breath hit my neck.
In one single moment, I turned around and took a step back, my back hitting the shelves. I stared straight into a pair of beautiful golden eyes with black stripes.
"Careful" he smiled as I kept staring at him. He was leaning close to my face, his whole body under the support of his arm which rested on the shelves, just above my head.
I don't know why but silence filled the air. We kept staring into each other's eyes. The vision around me seems to dim down.
Only he was in front of me. It was just like in the dream but unlike usual where half of his face was hidden, it was crystal clear. The same pair of mesmerising eyes staring at me. His face was upright and clear.
My hand moved up and reached for his face.
Each and every part of him was the same.....
"....Just like in my dream" I mumbled as he kept staring into my eyes.
What am I doing?
My hand still lay on his cheeks, my thumb now caressing under his eyes.
"Bella" his voice was dark and it has a certain ring that makes my knees go weak. "I missed you" he said as he leaned in, kissing the top of my head.
Suddenly as if hit by a bus, my brain screamed at how wrong this was. I immediately pushed him. Taken in surprise he fell to the ground and looked at me wide eyes.
"I am sorry. I didn't... I mean... I don't" I fumbled with the words before bowing. "I am sorry for pushing you!" I shout before running out of the storage.
What the hell was I thinking? On top of the weird 5 minutes staring and touching, I pushed him to the floor!
Great! Well done Bella. You did it this time.
I kept mumbling and cursing myself. I didn't know where I was doing and my hand suddenly grabbed my wrist. Out of reflex I pulled my wrist and kicked the person in his knees.
"Ow!!" he shouted as my eyes widen.
"Oh my god! I am so sorry!" I shouted apolitically.
"This is the second time today" David said as he pointed behind me. I turned around and my eyes widen as I saw a wall in front of me.
"I am now thinking to never leave you alone. You seem to be spacing out a lot. Is it your hobby?" he laughed as I scratched the back of my head frustrated.
"Sorry" I mumbled.
We entered the elevator, and before it completely closed a hand immediately blocked it and the door once again opened.
My eyes widen as I saw who I was.
"Boss?" David called equally shocked to see him.
Damn, he looked angry.
