AMELIA'S POV
I took one look at him and knew I was dead.
Seriously, he is my boss? I ask myself for the upteenth time that day. I sat down on my chair and blinked back the tears that was threatening to fall.
Okay, Amelia Summers, calm down, I said to myself. It actually wasn't my fault that the hot guy I met for my blind date is actually Arthur King, the new CEO of KINGS GROUP, my work place and I am going to be his PA, that is if I still have a job at the end of today.
Last week, the former CEO Mr Usher King held a meeting with all the top staffs that he was retiring and that his son will be the new CEO of the company and he will be resuming the next week Monday. He later called me into his office to tell me that the new CEO has the right to decide if he still wants me to continue as his PA or if he wants a new person but he assured me that he was going to put in good words for me.
So getting home to see that someone has messaged me on the dating site and set up a blind date in an exquisite restaurant made for the rich in the society, it was a welcome relief and I accepted it without batting an eyelid. Looking back now, I wish I could turn back the hand of time and refuse that invitation.
When I got to work this morning, the whole building was buzzing with anticipation and rumours of how the new CEO looked like because nobody has ever seen him. I wasn't really interested in how he looks, I was more interested in creating a good first impression so as to retain my job. I had dressed up in the best of my clothes which my two roommates and best friends picked out for me and has high hopes that he was going to retain me because my former boss has said he told his son that I was a decent person. So you can imagine my shock when I walked into the boardroom and saw that my new boss was my weekend blind date who I had shared a hot kiss with. After the introduction and formalities were all done with, he walked to me on his way to his new office and said "meet me in my office by the end of the day" And with that, he walked away with a cold look on his face. And in that instant, I knew I was dead meat.
I looked at my watch and finally it was closing time. I quickly arranged myself, did a quick touch up on my makeup and went to see my nemesis. I knocked on the door and entered the office. He was sitting on the chair but his back was turned to me. Nervously, I greeted.
"Good afternoon sir"
"Good afternoon Amelia". He answered, and God, the voice! That voice that I could not get over with after that date. That voice that made me think wicked Imaginations. That rich baritone voice that melts my heart away whenever I recall it. That voice I can never forget. That same voice, and now I was going to be hearing it every time. I sure hope I survive.
And then he turned to face me and I knew in that instant, I was done for. He is breathtaking handsome. I stood still as I shamelessly stared at him without restraint. His chiseled jawline, piercing blue eyes and lips to kill. Lips that I have tasted and would love to taste again. And the hair, oh, I still remember how they felt to touch. So silky and soft.
"If you are done assessing me, you can stop drooling and have your seat" I heard his voice and snapped out of my imaginations feeling embarrassed.
"I am sorry sir" I apologized as I sat down.
"Don't worry, it's no big deal, I get that a lot of time so am used to it by now" He said exuding power and confidence.ppp
Oh, you get that a lot and still went on a blind date, I muttered to myself.
