The love of a Mr. CEO

“See you at work tomorrow Mr. Stone” I rush out trying to play off my clumsiness. I don’t wait for a response but I do catch a glimpse of his smirk as I walk out the door and towards the elevators.

“Way to go Amelia, you’ve managed to embarrass yourself in front of your attractive boss on the first day of work.” I congratulate my stupidity in my head. I enter the elevators pressing the first floor and wait for the door to close. As the doors close I catch a glimpse of Mr. Stone staring at me. I could have sworn I saw him wink at me but dismissed the thought.

“Amelia Winters, you’re an official idiot!” I exclaim to myself when the elevator doors close.

When I got home I quickly kicked my heels off and ran to the kitchen to stuff my face. I haven’t eaten all day so I rapidly put yesterday’s leftovers of stir fry into the microwave to warm up. As I waited for my food I ran upstairs and changed into a pair of pj shorts and a muscle tee to be more comfortable. Taking my makeup off in the bathroom, I also let my hair down and brushed it watching it cascade down my back in beautiful waves.

“Why is it that my hair looks like those girls off of Pantene commercials when I’m all alone in my room but like I got run over when I need to be presentable?” I question myself out loud wondering how this happens. Shrugging my shoulders I walk out the bathroom to hear the microwave beep making my excitement bubble. I skip down the stairs almost falling for the third time today and go to the kitchen to eat my delicious stir fry. Taking it out of the microwave I grab a fork and stuff it in my mouth forgetting it was hot and scorching my tongue.

“Shit!” I shout as I try to inspect my now numb taste buds. I probably looked weird trying to look at my tongue cross-eyed. Ignoring my numb tongue I grab my food and a bottled water from the fridge and walk to the living room to watch a bit of tv. Sitting on my comfy couch, I set my food down to browse the channels and settle on watching pretty little liars reruns. Seeing as it’s the first episode of season one, I squeal as fetus Ezria make out in the bathroom of a bar. After I finish my food, I continue watching PLL until I hear my door bell ring.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Confused as to who it could be at 11pm at night, I walk to the door and open it without looking which was dumb move on my part. Standing there in all his glory was Hannibal Lector!! Just kidding, it was my boss aka Mr. Stone. A look of amusement crossed his face as he takes in my attire. Blushing I hide behind the door to cover up my bare legs.

“Mr. Stone, what’re you doing here?” I ask voicing my confusion.

“You dropped your phone when you tripped and I came by to give it to you.” He replies showing me my phone in his outstretched hand. I reach my hand out to grab it but manage to also grab his hand in the process. Heat travels up my arm and I jerk my hand back and look up to see if he felt it too. He looked surprised but his signature smirk was still on his face.

“Thanks for dropping it off Mr. Stone, do you need anything else?” I ask him as he continues to stand in my doorway.

“No and you can call me Ivan when we’re not at work Mrs. Winters.” He replies with a small breathtaking smile.

“And you can call me Amelia outside of work Mr. Stone I-I mean Ivan.” I said smiling as his name rolled off my tongue. Looking up, I see his eyes slightly darken before he snaps out of it and responds

“Well Amelia, I’ll see you at work tomorrow at 10am sharp. Don’t be late this time” He turns around to walk back to the elevators when I call his name again.

“How’d you know where I live?” I asked furrowing my eyebrows in confusion.

“I have my ways” he replies back mysteriously before winking and walking back to the elevators without waiting for my response. Closing the door, I lean back on it with a stupid smile on my face with my phone clutched to my chest. Shaking my head I walk up the stairs to my room to go to sleep because I’m exhausted after today. Putting my phone on the nightstand. I pull back the sheets to my bed and get cosy before closing my eyes. As I was about to slip into a dreamless slumber my phone buzzes. Reaching for it, I see a text from an unsaved number and open it.

Don’t be late

-I. S

Knowing immediately that it was Ivan I shake my head not surprised he got my number since I don’t have a passcode on my phone.

I won’t be, goodnight Ivan I text back and quickly get a response with thirty seconds.

Goodnight Amelia Shaking my head with a small smile I don’t reply and put my phone back on the nightstand. Once my head hits the pillow I was out like a light.

The next morning I woke up with enough time to actually take my time getting ready. Jumping into the shower, I stood under the hot water thinking about Mr. Stone. Something about him makes me intrigued and by his cockiness I can tell he knows it. Shaking my head I continue to wash my body with my strawberry vanilla body wash and washing my hair. Getting out of the shower, I walk back into my room to put on my undergarments along with a tight fitted black dress. Seeing as I have enough time to do my hair, I sit in front of my vanity and begin brushing the tangles out of my hair. Settling for a French braid but making sure to leave some hair to frame my face, I add some eyeliner and mascara to my emerald green eyes. Because my skin is fairly clear, I skip foundation and just add a nude lipstick.

Finally all ready, I walk down the stairs to the kitchen making myself an iced coffee with a lot of sugar and ice. Not really feeling hungry I grab my cup of cold goodness and made my way to the door putting on peep toed black heels. Making sure I had everything, I opened my front door and began my journey to Stone Industry.

I got to the building at around 9:45 so I walked in making sure to check in with the receptionist. Not wanting to go up to my office just yet, I explore the building a bit and find a cafeteria not to far away from the main lobby. Walking in, all eyes are on me and I quickly shuffle to a table not liking the attention. I can see most of my co-workers are all women but what caught my eye is the fact that they were all wearing outfits that were a bit showy. Some had their boobs almost falling out of their blouses and others had skirts that barely covered their bottoms. Shaking my head, I continue to sip on my coffee and check my phone for any notifications to busy myself from the stares.

“You look quite lonely over here by yourself” a masculine voice startles me and I look up to find a very attractive man staring down at me with chocolate brown eyes.

“Maybe I just don’t want to have any company.” I bite back with a slight smirk. Not expecting my response Mr. Tall, dark and handsome gives me a small smile and sits down across from me.

“I like you. My name is Connor and I’m assuming you’re new here seeing as I’ve never seen a beautiful face like yours around the office.” He grins at me giving me a wink at the end.

“Only known me for a few minutes and you’re already hitting on me, I’m impressed. My names Amelia Winters and I’m Mr. Stone’s new assistant.” I tell him the smirk not wavering from my face.

“Well Amelia, from the way Mr. Stone is glaring at me from across the cafe, I’d better get to his office before he chews your pretty little head off.” He says looking behind me. Turning around, I catch a glimpse of Mr. Stone and quickly turn around gathering my stuff in the process.
