Marianne's POV:This is just unbelievable.I'm in front of the Man who I never imagined I'd get to meet in person. He is seated in the swivel chair and is giving me the same emotionless face he always gives when he appears in magazines or on television."Identify yourself." I was drawn back to reality by his deep voice, and I cautiously lifted my head to face him.Even though he is sitting, it is clear that he has everything a female could possibly desire. He was wearing a sharp Ash blue suit that highlighted the shape of his well-toned body. Oh, and let's not forget about his hairdo complementing his deep gray eyes, and the sensual cheekbone. Just look at how his broad shoulders were occupying the chair."Are you still there, Miss?" I snapped out of my reverie when the other man, who was standing next to him and was wearing a black, well-tailored suit, spoke.I've been drooling on him since I entered the room three minutes ago, and I'm doing it again.When those two pairs of grey eye
"Do you have an appointment with him?" Came her polite reply and when I shook my head she chased me away by saying."I'm sorry miss I can't let you in then, you must have an appointment with him before I can let you see him, please go home"."Okay how about you call him and tell him Marianne Jerkins is here, I'm sure he'd understand" I pleaded with her. She gave me a look before heeding my request and calling Mr. Pedro. After a while of her phoning him, she told me to go in and I thanked her before finding my way to the office where she had just directed me.I knocked on the door and it opened revealing a familiar man. Jake, Pedro's personal assistant."Come in please" he made space for me and I got in.Pedro is done with whatever he was doing and he's now looking straight at him, I bet he's expecting good news.I'm not in the mood to disappoint him so I'd tell him. "I got accepted" I told him and watched a wide smile appear on his middle-aged yet handsome face."That's good news but
He was dressed in a light blue straight and neat suit this time around. His hands were dipped into his pocket supporting his sexy posture.I tried my best not to look at his face or I might start drooling again but it felt like he wasn't moving, he was just standing in one place, or was he looking at me?My cheeks burnt with the thought of those grey orbs staring at me and I immediately looked away and moved my head back to face my dinner."I won't be having dinner this evening" I heard him say. Why isn't he eating dinner? Was it because I'm here? He doesn't want to eat at the same table as me? I thought with the spoon placed in my mouth.As if Zuna could hear my thoughts, she began explaining why the boss missed dinner."Miss you don't have to worry, that's just how the boss is, he doesn't have a strong appetite so sometimes he usually skips his dinner or breakfast" she explained.I just nodded and continued eating, I kept thinking about how I will put through my plans when I can't e
