Chapter 4 Charming Blunt Hair

Laura's pov

"So, he's coming today? Wow, that's nice. At least I will be delighted to see him," I replied, excited about the news.

"I just hope you don't get tempted by his looks," Jessica teased, which made me scoff.

"I'm married, Jessica. Why should I do that?" I replied, narrowing my eyes with a huff.

I shifted my gaze to the paperwork I was working on while Jessica kept speaking. I suddenly noticed that one of the documents was missing on my office desk and I can't finish the paperwork I was working on without it. While thinking on where I had left it, I suddenly remembered that I last saw it inside my car.

I let out a groan of frustration, touching my face as I pushed into my chair with a deep sigh. Thinking about the stress in which I will use to go get the document from my car got my body numb and it feels so exhausting.

"You ain't even listening to what I'm saying," Jessica cut in, seeing how I was losing focus, muttering words of complaint.

"Don't you have anything to do? I think the talk for today is over," I said, sighing as I stood up from my chair. Reaching for the door, I turned and looked at Jessica. "I want to get something from my car real quick," I added, walking out the door.

I got on the elevator, then descended the building. I walked to where I had parked my car and looking for where I had last seen the document–my eyes caught up to it, and luckily, it was standing just in front of me at the side of my car seat. I picked it up, then went back into the building where I worked at a fast pace, my heels clicking against the ground as I hastily walked forward.

While walking forward, trying to reach the elevator, my head eventually went down, gripping the document on my hands as I stared at it. Without looking forward to where I was going, I ran into a man, his puffed chest pushing me against the ground, and the document's sheets I was holding scattered across the flat tiles.

I raised my head to apologize because it was totally my fault, but when my eyes met the person I had run into, my body froze.

"Good... good... good day, sir," I stuttered, then quickly looked away. I crouched on the ground, gently picking up the files that had scattered. When I was done, I stood up, looking at him head-on. His physique was hellishly stunning. His broad chest was humongous. His blunt brown hair was so striking and captivating.

I stared at him for a few seconds while he stared back at me without saying a word. His blue ocean eyes were like different stars combined at once. I was lost in my thoughts. I couldn't move or look away.

"Sorry, sir, for the inconvenience," a voice sounded, snapping me out of my thoughts. I shuddered slightly, shoving my hair to the side with my hand as I gently looked away.

"Laura, did you apologize?" the voice sounded again. Looking back to see who had spoken, it was my boss, Rowan-the person higher than me, the one I submit to when signing out from work.

He came closer, looking at me, then shifted his gaze to the person I had been staring at. With a soft, calm voice, he said to the young, handsome man, "Please come with me, sir. I have already prepared the documents for you to sign."

"Is this lady part of the workers here?" the young man asked, shooting his gaze at me, his eyes scanning me like a prey.

"Yes, sir, she is," Rowan replied, grinning nervously as if he was becoming frightened.

"She doesn't have manners, and next time she repeats the same thing she did today, I promise to dismiss her-and dismiss you too. I don't accommodate mannerless people in my company," the man, whom I had found handsome, spoke in an angry tone that made me flinch in disbelief.

After saying this, he walked away with Rowan.

I was stunned because I wasn't expecting that from the young, handsome man. He was so rude, and besides the way he stared at me the previous time, it's obvious that he got lost in thought as well.

While staring confusedly at him while he walked away, Jessica's hand slid over my shoulders, making me snap as I quickly turned.

"Ooh, God! Why would you scare me that way?" I retorted holding my chest.

"He's the one-the CEO of this company I've been telling you about," Jessica muttard, which made me jab a bit,

"Are you for real?," I replied, surprisingly with a pale look.

It was at this point that I realized he was actually the one-the one people had been talking about. Thinking deeply, his appearance was exactly like the image Jessica had shown me-his blunt brown hair and everything else was just coming into sense to me now. Or rather, let me say, he was more perfect than I had anticipated because damn, he got me lost at some point. And the way he spoke to me-it was obvious that what people were saying about his character was true.

"Why didn't you apologize when you ran into him? What were you so focused and stuck about, that you didn't notice someone standing in front of you?" Jessica said, raising her voice at me as she narrowed her eyes with a sigh.

"How did you expect me to notice someone was in front of me when my head is down? I'm very sure he must have seen me coming. But couldn't speak out on time, or he must have done it intentionally," I replied, gasping.

"Ooh, you speak so confidently. It looks like you don't like your job anymore. I'm surprised he didn't fire you right away. He must have been in a good mood," Jessica responded, which made me raise a brow.
