Chapter 5 The Contract and the first meeting

The anticipation was palpable as Roy made his way to Selene's office for their scheduled meeting. He had heard so much about her - about how she was a force to be reckoned with in the business world, about her intelligence and charisma. Roy couldn't help but feel excited to finally meet her in person.

Likewise, Selene had heard of Roy's meteoric rise in the US business world. She knew that he was someone to watch out for, someone who could potentially be a valuable business partner. As she sat in her office, going over some last-minute details before the meeting, she couldn't deny the curiosity and eagerness that stirred within her.

The meeting took place in the conference room, with Selene, Roy, their secretaries, and the board members present. As they delved into discussions about the potential partnership and the benefits it could bring to both businesses, Roy couldn't help but be captivated by Selene. The way she spoke with confidence and authority, the way she carried herself with a powerful aura - it all left him in awe.

In his mind, Roy couldn't shake the feeling that something was stirring within him. He found himself thinking about Selene long after the meeting had ended, feeling a strange pull towards her. He knew that he had started to fall for her, even though they had only just met. It was as if destiny had brought them together, and Roy couldn't ignore the sparks that flew between them.

On the other hand, Selene sat in her office after the meeting, her mind filled with images of Roy. His handsome features, his unique charm - she couldn't deny that there was something about him that drew her in. But Selene was a woman who had closed off her heart for a long time, a woman who was focused on her career and was not willing to open herself up to anyone.

As she pondered her feelings for Roy, Selene made a conscious decision to keep her guard up. She knew that getting involved with him could spell trouble, could potentially jeopardize the business partnership they were considering. So she pushed aside the growing attraction she felt towards him, telling herself that it was better to focus on the task at hand.

Despite the unspoken feelings that simmered between them, neither Roy nor Selene confessed to their attraction in that meeting. They maintained a professional demeanor, discussing the contract and the potential collaboration with a sense of determination and drive.

But deep down, both Roy and Selene knew that there was something more between them. They could feel the magnetic pull that drew them together, the unspoken connection that transcended mere business dealings. And as they parted ways after the meeting, a sense of longing lingered in the air, hinting at the possibilities that lay ahead for them.
