Ariana
“Woah…easy there girl!”Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
I gasped as I looked at the mess on the floor. All the were files scattered on the floor. And then I looked up to see whom I bumped into. I gasped again. There stood two handsome men with a beautiful shade of eyes. One had beautiful blue eyes and the other had brown eyes. They both had chiseled faces which gave them a look of models. But Xavier’s features were finer. Wait…Why was I comparing them with him, why? I guess it was because I bumped into them pretty hard and some of my nerve cells got displaced that’s why stupid things were coming into my mind. Really Ariana? How nerve cells can be displaced from their position?
I think I had been staring at them for long because I came back to my senses when the blue-eyed one snapped his finger in front of my face.
“Oh! Erm, sorry.” I immediately crouched to pick up the files.
“Let us help you.” They also crouched down and started picking the files.
“Do you work here? Have never seen you before.” Blue-eyed one asked.
“I just started working today, It’s my first day,” I said as I stood up with some files in my hand, they also stood up with files in their hands.
“Oh. In which department do you work?” The Brown-eyed one asked.
“I work on this floor itself. I am appointed as Personal Assistant to Mr. Xavier Knight.” I said, looking at them.
“You are appointed as what?” They asked in unison. The shock was clearly visible on their face. Did I say something wrong?
“Umm.. Personal Assistant to Mr. Xavier Knight?” It came out as a question from my mouth.
They both exchanged a look and then looked back to me, “Okay…well, let us help you to walk to your office.” The Brown-eyed one said. I nodded my head and started walking.
I opened the door of my office, walked inside, and placed the files on the desk and they also did the same.
“Um…Thank you for your help.” I said as I faced them.
“You’re welcome. So, what’s your name?” The Brown-eyed one asked he was gazing at me intently.
“Ariana Jones.” As I said my name, his eyebrows went up as if he was surprised. Strange. He didn’t break his intense gaze. He kept on watching me as if he was trying to figure out something. I averted my eyes, his scrutinizing gaze was making me nervous.
“Nice name. So, do you know us?” The Blue-eyed one asked.
“Umm… Should I? Do you two also work here?” I asked in confusion. I really didn’t know them. Was I missing something here?
The blue-eyed one was about to say something but the brown-eyed one cut him off.
“Never mind. It was nice meeting you. Enjoy your first day of work, Miss Jones.” Saying that he dragged the blue-eyed one out with him.
I was about to ask their names but they had already left. I’ll ask their name if we meet again.
I shrugged my shoulders and went around the desk to sit on my chair. As I sat on my chair my eyes went to two gadgets placed on the desk.
A smile broke on my face when I saw an iPad and the latest iPhone. I loved gadgets, I was so into them. I never missed any latest news on them, they always brought a smile to my face. I wish I could have all the gadgets, but I couldn’t afford them.
I read the note placed beside the gadgets.
“For official purposes.”
Xavier Knight
As if I was going to use them for any other purpose.. hmpf
I took the iPhone in my hand and glanced it admiringly… I would have preferred Android.. but I am more than happy that I got the chance to hold an iPhone.
I placed the iPhone back in its place and grabbed the file.
“Time to work,” I muttered to myself.
I was in the middle of the work when the intercom beeped; I received it. Before I could say hello a deep voice came…
“In my office, Now.” I didn’t take time to guess whose voice was it. Obviously, my boss.
I sighed and stood up from my chair and went to his office.
