Chapter 1
Each step, in beat with the music playing in my ears. My mind too busy to concentrate on the lyrics, I feel myself drowning away from reality. My feet carry me to my destination unknowingly, each breath sucking in the cool early morning air.
I open the front door to be welcomed by smiling faces. All ready to start the Monday morning at work. I force a smile while slowly removing my earphones, signing myself in. I head to the office to start with the mountain of paper work while Miss Fourie files the documents away.
Miss Fourie, better known as Eljse, is the same age as I, we went to school and had gotten a job together. She has long beautiful chocolate brown hair, matching eyes and a light pink smile. Her heart stolen by a dashing young man who seems to take good care of her. She has an old soul, caring and kind and the brightest mind. She is an independent young lady who does not take shit from any man or woman, she is also a social butterfly.
I'm so focus on the work I'm doing that I didn't realized that my manager and the new CEO of the company had walked in.
" Miss Fourie and Miss Black"
My concentration moved to the two men standing close to the door. Mr van Zyl ( manager ) was dressed neatly in our company uniform, having dark brown buzz cut hair, hazel brown eyes, also being a really tall and skinny man, aged 38. The man standing next to him, which I assumed was our new CEO, was wearing a stunning black suit with a crisp white shirt, piecing blue eyes with pitch black hair, neatly combed. He was roughly the same height as Mr van Zyl but was more built. I found myself unsure of his possible age.
"This is Adam Grey"
I make eye contact and I could feel the blush forming on my face, his blue eyes staring into my soul, his gaze burned forever in my memory. My heart pounding in my chest as if trying to escape the coffin I've buried it into. I drop my head, breaking our long lasted gaze.
"I hope to learn more about the work you ladies do to better understand the company." Adam explains to us. " I'll be joining you for the next week and then we can decide where to go next." directing that statement more towards Mr van Zyl than to us. I decide to return back to my work seeing that I'm just an assistant and not that important for the further discussion. The silent nod from the manager, agreeing to my decision.
As I continue, I start to feel uncomfortable, that someone was staring intensely at me. As I turned, my eyes were briefly met with Adam's, while he turned away from my gaze. My mind unsure of what to think, I stand up to go copy some documents to hand out, my hand brushes past his and for the longest moment, I felt sparks.
