I walked into Mr. Xander’s office with a sense of anticipation, my heart racing with a strange combination of excitement and nervousness. As the door closed behind me, I couldn’t help but notice the powerful atmosphere that seemed to envelop his workspace. The room was spacious and exuded confidence, much like the man who occupied it.
Mr. Xander, in his impeccably tailored suit, was seated behind his desk, his dark eyes locked onto mine. He flashed a devilish grin, and the chemistry between us seemed to crackle in the air. “Good morning,” he said, his deep voice sending a shiver down my spine.
“Good morning,” I replied with a playful smirk. “Your flowers really brightened up my day.”
“Ah, those were nothing compared to what you deserve,” he said as he leaned back in his chair.
He gestured to the chair across from him. “Why don’t you sit down? I have a few things to discuss.”
I took a seat, trying to maintain my composure, but he made it impossible. He leaned forward, and the distance between us seemed to disappear.
His gaze was intense as he said, “You walk into this office, and it’s like the world outside doesn’t matter.”
“You’re just saying that.”
“I’m not.”
I couldn’t help but feel a blush creeping onto my cheeks. “You’re not so bad yourself, Mr. Xander.”
Our eyes locked, and for a moment, we lost ourselves in the silent promise of something more.
“I’ve been trying to not cross this line with you.”
My heart raced as he reached out and gently traced his fingers along my jawline.
“Mr. Xander,” I whispered, “I think we’ve already crossed that line, ages ago.”
He chuckled, a deep, throaty sound that sent a thrill through my body. “Well, then, Ms. Willis, let’s make the most of it.”
Completely shifting the topic, I went on to talk about him schedule.
“You have a 10 am meeting with JepCorp on the new land you want in the south, lunch with your mom at 12, Arnoldo Reyes said to give him a call. There’s some tabs you need to go over and well as your speech for the upcoming red carpet and social event. Press details and you have a Japanese conference call for the airport you’re buying in Asia.” Such little words, but such heavy tasks for the day. Being an intern for one of the world’s most powerful men makes me think about how much I couldn’t be a boss.
“Is the meeting room ready?” Fuck. I forgot about that.
“I’ll go get it ready now.”
“I’d rather have you hear all day, so we can talk, so I can get to know you.”
“Flattered,” I said smiling, “but I still have to get my hours for the internship and I have to do something or I’ll feel guilty about it. Especially because I’m involved with my boss.”
“That’s one way to put it.”
“Definitely.”
“It’s 9:30, get the meeting room ready and come see me before it starts. Have a good day.”
“Thank you and have a good day, too, Mr. Xander.”
Abigail called me on Facetime to let me know she landed and was getting settled and she told me about a hot guy she met at the airport. Any guy was better than Joshua.
“Dr. Green reached out to me, Azzy. I think she maybe misses you.” Dr. Michelle Green; my onetime therapist. She’s helped me through most things, and it was a hard decision to stop going, but I couldn’t do it anymore. I felt helpless and shut everyone out, including her.
“I miss her too, but I think I’m good now,” I said, trying to convince her.
“Would you consider going back? There are still dozens of things you’ve not spoken about, which I think you should,” Abigail said, trying to persuade me.
“I’ll think about it.” I flashed a smile at her and took a bite of my food. I could marry these sandwiches.
