Chapter 2 WE MET

Annabel's manager Leilani Brian, who is popularly called Lady No Joke because of her seriousness, walked into Annabel's office with the sounds of her heels clicking on the tiled floor

"Annabel' Leilani called mildly

"Please Lei, am not in the mood for anyone's sympathy, Just go straight to the point and tell me what I need to know," Annabel said sternly making Leilani sigh

"Have been able to clear all the scandals caused by the journalists and the news about your fiancé's death has been erased with the help of James Nathan, the owner of Blitz Empire and he requests a date with you" Leilani rapped

"Kindly tell him that I appreciate his help, but I can't go out on a date with him" Annabel replied and after some minutes added

"Am still mourning my fiancés dead" Annabel added with Leilani nodding to the reply

*************

Annabel rushed out of her vehicle running through the crowd passed the glass doors when she entered the building, she could not help but marvel at the interior decoration, damn she was late for her meeting with the director of blitz empire, rumors had it that James Nathan was very strict and kept to time

Has she rushed into the building and headed for the elevator, she bumped into someone

"Ouch!!! My head hurts" Ann exclaimed

"Sorry about that, You should watch where you headed next time" a thick masculine voice replied which got Annabel looking up.

Lost in his blue enchanting eyes, Ann could not help but marvel at such a well-sculpted man, from his sharp jawline, blue eyes, thick brows, his biceps that stood out in the thin shirt fabric threatening to burst out soon. Ann could not help but notice the lopsided grin on his face and that made her snap out of her thought

"Am sorry for running into you, I am in a hurry for a meeting" Ann retorted and walked past.

"I guess you don't who you were supposed to have the meeting with" James retorted

Ann turned swiftly and faced the handsome stranger

"What is that supposed to mean?" Ann retorted

"James Nathan is the name and you were late for a meeting, I was already on my way out" James replied

"Am sorry about that, I had things to fix at work and please can we head back in" Ann replied

"It's fine, I must say you look more beautiful in person, the magazines and photos do not define how beautiful you are" James retorted.

"It's a pleasure, Thanks for the compliment"Ann replied

The duo walked into the elevator, they entered the office and after the legal procedures, Annabel was signed up as the ambassador for Blizt Entertainment.

"Congratulations, Miss Annabel I hope my company will not be disappointed by choosing you" James retorted while shaking hands with Ann

"Am good at what I do, so you can be rest assured that I will deliver my best"Ann replied professionally.

"That's nice to hear, if I may ask, there's a coffee shop close by, can we grab coffee together while we do a little chit chat"James retorted

"And your schedule for the photoshoots will be sent to your manager" James added

"It's okay and about the coffee, I guess you would lead the way"Annabel replied which got James grinning From ear to ear.

The duo grabbed the coffee and James told jokes that got Ann laughing, which has not been possible for a few months since the death of Gregory.

"Can I drop you off since you are not here with your guards, it quite had with handling the press you know?"James retorted after the coffee

"That's so nice of you, I would appreciate" Ann replied

"I want to introduce you to the most beautiful woman have ever seen" James retorted staring intently at Ann

"Oh!!! That's fine, so who's this woman" Ann replied

"Look outside the window " James replied

Looking outside, she couldn't find anyone but her reflection on the glass windows, getting what he meant, she was flustered with a bright tint of red blush on her face.

"I don't know if am too forward but if you are in a crowd, I won't see the crowd but I would see YOU" James added getting Ann slightly embarrassed,

Damn!!! This guy is romantic, Ann thought with a flustered face while biting her red cherry plump lip and bringing it out wet, failing to notice the burning gaze that held so much desire and admiration.

Even in this sweet moment, one thought lingered in her mind

"Don't get this guy killed Ann. He is too Handsome, kind, and lovely to die so early." Ann thought inwardly.
