Chapter 2

"Please take a seat, Miss"

I nodded at the cute brunette woman in her executive wear. She had bright smile and a dashing charm that I found myself unconsciously grinning at her, ear to ear.

I waited for five minutes or so until the same woman waved at me from a bit afar. I immediately took my bag and the folder that was kept next to me on the steel chair a moment ago. I glanced at my reflection on the large mirror across the large hall.

When the woman opened the large redwood doors, I paused for a moment, rooted to where I was and gasped at the stunning guy before me. He was in a black suit with his wavy brown hair ruffled a bit but looking quite sexy. I didn't realize I was gaping at the man, almost leaning with my foot glued to the shiny white floor.

The woman cleared her throat and gave me an awkward smile.

"Uh... sorry!" I returned her a nervous laugh and fixed my eyes on the hazel eyes of the man straight opposite to me.

"Miss Carter?"

"Joanne Carter," I replied, nodding.

What in the world is this guy doing here?

"Please take a seat, Mister Rogers will be here in a few minutes, I'm expecting," He said, gesturing me toward the chair in front of him.

Gosh, his voice, it's making my throat dry.

I took slow steps toward one of the two chairs placed in front of him. My heart is in my mouth. I gently bit my lower lip and exhaled heavily while sitting.

"Hope you liked the assistance here? Miss Hugo is our best at courtesy," he said, smiling.

"She was excellent," I replied, breaking eye contact with him.

A heard an elderly sound echoing through the walls outside the large office. Must be the other guy he talked about.

"Well, thank you, Epiphany Hugo. I loved your joke on the recent stocks. It was quite a sarcastic comment," a gravely man's voice. He seemed to be chuckling.

"Mister Rogers!" The guy raised from his seat and brushed his thumb across the buttons of his suit.

"Ah, Brian!"

I turned behind to see an old man, probably in his late sixties, hugging the hot guy.

"Must be Miss Carter?" He asked, turning his direction toward me.

"Yes, sir."

"Well, let's get to business then."

Yes, it was all business later. More than taking an analysis on the merged projects, I observed the two men. The guy, the CEO of Magnus Enterprises and the old fat man, another share holder in the project we're putting forward, were really good at marketing and sales. They were quite witty and sarcastic at some point, to which I found it difficult to make the things go in my way. In the end, I somehow agreed in receiving only one by sixth of the profits and the guy getting half of the whole and the old man getting one by third of it.

"B-but--"

"I'll see you two tomorrow then, got a really emergency call to attend," Mr. Rogers smiled, cutting me off.

I glanced at the CEO, who was staring at me, smirking.

F*ck, he's hot and I'm likely to share a bed with him somehow!
