The Stavan Financial Group is a renowned name in financial accounting amongst the regional businesses in the district of Vanneg East. A billion-dollar company may not be the epitome of the financial world, but in Vanneg East, Stvan is a giant that no one could ignore.
Charlie, currently aged 32, spent the last 7 years of his life in the conspicuous and regal looking high-rise building, the main headquarters Stavan Financial Group. Started just as a grunt work nobody, Charlie was happy to keep his head down and earn his keep.
Everything changed when Elizabeth walked into his life. The love that Charlie felt for her goes beyond pure physical and emotional, he sees her as his guiding star and his savior angel. He deems her as the angel that has come down to Earth to give him wings.
With a bounce in his step, he walked into his company's pride, the Stavan Complex. On floor 15 situated his office, but today, Charlie clicked on floor 24, the topmost level.
Ping!
With an electronic ping, the metal doors opened to let Charlie into the most secluded and exclusive floor of the building. Usually, if anyone tried to come to the top floor unless they have an appointment or a warrant signed by the City's Governor, everyone will be denied access. There is even a rumor in the office that an elite security team only for the top floor, which is capable of even facing a fully equipped SWAT team.
However, today is different, Charlie wasn't obstructed or even frisked. He was welcomed by a team of secretaries, who are all beautiful women who can give any top model a run for the money.
"Hello, Mr. Shawn. I'm Irene Skyes, I'm the secretary of the Chairman. Mr. Cale is waiting for you. If you would follow me, I'd escort you to his office."
"Please lead the way, Miss Skyes."
"Hehe, just call me Irene," playfully chided the pixie-cut platinum blonde. Without waiting for a reply from Charlie, she led him down the exquisitely decorated hallway.
Irene is a tall English lass, but despite her height, her curves are impossible to ignore. Even when decked up in a formal business suit, her curves exude her feminine sensuality.
The sexy curves and her contrasting pixie cut and bleached platinum blonde hair give her a bond girl look.
Walking behind her, Charlie was unable to admire the carefully decorated hallway, as all his attention was captured the hypnotizing movements of Irene's seductive butt cheeks.
As if it is a private dance, the left, and the right ass cheeks raise up and down to the rhythmic click and clock of her pointed high heels. This grand sensual show has benefitted just one audience, Charlie. He is not complaining about the lack of the crowd, his selfish male mind wants to own all the beauty in the world to himself.
Amidst his daydream...
"Eyes up Mr. Shawn, we have arrived..." Irene did not turn and paused with her back to Charlie, in order to catch him redhanded in the act of admiring her buttocks. Irene always hated men staring up her curvy ass, but today she decided to play a trick on the soon to be CEO.
Having been called out, Charlie awkwardly mumbles something which even he did not understand before he hurried to the door of the Chairman's office. However before he went in, he turned to Irene with a bright smile that is void of any discomfort or hesitation...
"Irene, you should also call me Charlie. After all, we will be working together a lot from now. I had made up my mind that when I step into the office, I should lead by example by being the first one at the forefront. However, if you are part of the team, I would like to give orders from behind," saying his piece Charlie went into the chairman's office with the same smile.
However, it took a moment for Irene to understand that the soon to be CEO has poked fun back at her. The revelation made her blush with fake anger, but luckily Charlie was already in the Chairman's office.
'hmph, you can't stay in the Chairman's office forever...' pouted Irene as she made her way back to her office.

"Hello Charlie, come, take a seat. Ready for the big day?"
"Yes sir, I have worked hard for this day and looking forward to the responsibilities," smiled back Charlie.
Cale Burton, the Chairman of Stavan Financial group may seem like a withered old geyser, but his eyes have never lost its sharpness. Men of his caliber are able to perceive a person from very little of their actions and words.
The reply and the honesty of the smile on Charlie have instantly increased the level of favoritism that the new unannounced CEO and was once more satisfied with choosing Charlie to take reins of the company.
Without saying anything more, Chairman Cale called in Irene via intercom...
"Irene, are the major shareholders here yet? Move the CEO announcement as the first piece of news in the order of affairs..."
"But... Sir, if we change the agenda at the last minute..."
"As the Chairman, I have the capability to change the order of affairs. Oh and move every other thing on the agenda to the next day. The only dazzling news that we are giving out is the official announcement of the CEO."
"Sir... but..."
"Irene, as you said this is very last minute, u have start quick on the arrangements. Let us ease the abrupt change with an evening of leisure at the Ebony Paradise Hotel. Book an entire floor with bar and service... and..."
"Sir, I will get it done."
[Clang]
The phone was abruptly cut, Irene did not give the old Chairman to make any more suggestions as she already felt he has given her too much of a headache. This routine of escalated demands and abrupt call disconnection is a common thing between the Chairman and his secretary. However, having his secretary cut his call in from of the Future CEO made the old man's cheek burn.
"Haha, Charlie, I just gave you a demonstration on how to maximize the potential of employees. You should learn from it," righteously stated Chairman Cale.
"Yes Chairman, I will work my employees until they slam their phones down," said Charlie in all seriousness.
Chairman Cale thought Charlie would play along with him and look past the awkwardness, pretending like it never happened, However, Charlie seriously focused on the one thing that Chairman Cale wanted to avoid. The seriousness of the young man made him completely speechless.
It took a moment for Cale to notice that Charlie is poking fun of his awkwardness and making light of the situation, making the old Chairman save face.
The Chairman laughed out loud with Charlie joining him, as they talked over various company-related and personal things.
As the Chairman and CEO duo merrily chit-chatted, Irene on the other hand is furiously commanding everyone on the floor to make arrangements according to the Chairman's request.
'Charlie u better not learn the bad habits from the old man,' furiously thought Irene as she continued to order people around like a war commander with a furious face.
