CRUEL WORLD

While waiting for the cup of coffee I was getting impatient, to the point I was nagging at Elvis if he actually did deliver the message or not. He said he did

"Then what's taking her forever to come in here?" I was about to lose it when I heard a knock on the door, then I comported myself, took a deep breath. After which I told her to come in and then dismissed the guards as well as Elvis.

They were all astonished at the fact that I had them dismissed while a stranger was in there, but they had no choice but to comply, it was an order after all.

When they left I gave out my cold and domineering aura but she wasn't at all affected by it. She just stood there with the tray of coffee, I was somewhat glad. So I decided to break the silence by telling her to come closer and hand over the cup of coffee herself, that was when I saw she was holding a tray filled with three cups of coffee.

So I was kinda perplexed at the view before me, she must have noticed how confused I was. That she spoke,

"You sent a receptionist to make a cup of coffee which isn't appropriate, I've left my post empty for too long, will you be responsible if I lost my job?"

She then took a deep breath and then smiled showing off a dimple and placed the tray of coffee on the desk and then said, "I don't know the flavour which you would prefer, so here are three varieties you can make your choice"

She turned to leave when Eric stopped her by holding her wrist. Her skin was so soft but then he had to let go. Eric then said

"Come sit and drink a cup with me" Evelyn declined politely by saying

"I am sorry I can't do that, its unprofessional, I have left my post for far too long sire"

Eric became agitated

'Doesn't she know who I am? Who is she to decline an opportunity to spend some minutes with me?'

Evelyn then bowed and was about to get to the door, then Eric pressed a button and the door was locked this gesture made it impossible for her to go out.

When she figured the door was locked Evelyn then turned around and walked majestically back and sat down opposite Eric, took a cup of coffee and started drinking, It was an unexpected move so this made Eric even more amazed.

Then she looked at him and said,

"You wanted a coffee partner isn't it? Well get on with it, so I can get back to work"

Eric then nodded

Evelyn's POV

When I came upstairs to his suite, I was somewhat happy that my plans of getting close to him has finally began, I decided not to let my happiness show. So I chose to act pissed.

So I knocked on the door, a bold but nice and pleasant voice said "come in," immediately I came in he dismissed his guards, since we were alone thoughts of killing him flooded my mind. But then I had to put them off. It wasn't time for that yet, I told my self and stood there until he told me to come closer and when I did, he was surprised there were three cups of coffee on the tray. I then started to act mad so I said,

"You sent a receptionist to make you a cup of coffee which wasn't appropriate, I've left my post empty for too long will you be responsible if I lost my job" After which I smiled and told him "I don't know the flavour which you would prefer so here are three Varieties you can make your choice"

I turned to leave but what happened next took me unawares and the worst part was it made my heart beat fast right there in my chest, I have never felt that way before. But how could I feel this way just because someone held onto my wrist? He immediately let go of my wrist and invited me to sit and take coffee with him. So I then rejected the offer as politely as I could and made my way towards the door only for me to find out it was locked, I was kind of confused after which I walked back to where he was, sat down took a cup of coffee and started drinking, he was a little bit perplexed at my sudden move. So I spoke up saying

"You wanted a coffee partner isn't it? Well let's get on with it, so I can get back to work"

he only nodded

'He must be really affected by my presence which was good for my plans. This is so cool'

While drinking the coffee in silence, Eric decided to ask her for her name. She then smiled and said

"I am Evelyn, but my friends call me Eve. What about you, what's yours sir?"

Eric was kind of impressed by her boldness so he took a sip of coffee and then replied

"Eric"

"Hm...sir Eric thanks for the coffee but I really have to go now, wouldn't want to lose my job, I love it here" Evelyn said

"Okay I had a great time Eve, thanks for the company"

"Well I didn't have much of a choice, but it was worth it sir Eric"

So she stood up to leave and bowed slightly, he then said to her.

"Its Eric"

Evelyn's facial expression displayed uncertainty so he said again. "To you, its just Eric no need for formalities please"

So she smiled and said,

"Do have a great day today Eric" with that she left to her post to continue with her duties.

Eric stayed back for a while and kept recalling the good moment he just had with her, her lovely voice which he felt was like that of an Angel. He loved her composure and the way she behaved for a second there he felt she acted like some rich snub because of the way she spoke and behaved even though she was from the low class.

Yes Eric, was more of a devil incarnate than he realizes but that moment he thought he found his Angel. Getting up he walked towards the door to leave, his guards escorted him out and then he saw her beautiful face again.

"Eve" he muttered out subconsciously.

Eve noticed his presence and bowed slightly to him he just kept staring at her. Eve loved the way he is affected by her presence. So she then smiled at him. What happened next was quite surprising, he actually smiled back at her then walked towards the elevator.

The cold and arrogant Eric smiled at a girl? That took the guards by surprise yet again. He entered into the elevator and his guards went in with him, he was just grinning nonstop all through the ride back to his company. Even when he alighted down from the car all through the way into his office he just wouldn't stop. That even his employees were astonished by this new behavior he was exhibiting.
