RETURNING THE NECKLACE

She stood wondering, holding the most precious necklace she has a ever worn by both it's edges. She looked up to HDT (Halkstun Digital Technologies)

She was unsure whether to go up there. But the reason was right in her hands. She just wanted to return it to its owner and that's it.

She kept it inside her handbag and without wasting more time, she waked in. She enquired with the receptionist and she demanded for an appointment. But as everyone knows, it's not easy to meet him. She couldn't waste time on arranging an appointment just to return the necklace. Even though she said it was urgent, it didn't help.

She can't wait for him nor can she not return it. So she did what one shouldn't have done. She escaped everyone's eye. In other words, she sneaked in. She knew he was in the tenth floor and began finding for a safe passage towards his cabin.

The elevators was a big NO. The only option was stairs. She ascended the stairs.

With heavy breaths, she reached the tenth floor. It was a journey. She have never climbed this much stairs. Her handbag was on the tip of her fingers. She couldn't even stand up properly, with wobbly steps she found his cabin.

She slowly opened the door. There he stood facing the windows at the very opposite side of the door. He was on a call but soon tucked it in his pocket as he sensed someone's presence.

She turned and closed the door but couldn't walk because her legs were hurting. As soon as she closed the door she leaned to it to keep a balance.

He twisted his neck to see her, leaning onto the door. She looked infirm. Her dress displayed all her neck shoulders covered in sweat. He didn't seem astonished or surprised and that made her think. He walked towards her and stood just before her with both his hands fixed on the door on her either sides making her trapped.

She couldn't step back nor could she pull him from there as she herself knew she was already taking deep breaths.

With a mischievous look, he said, "Hmm....let me guess....you took the stairs..."

"I...I..."

Suddenly the door behind her vibrated.

His hand went to open the door. Reichel moved a little forward and closer to him so it can be easily opened. Now they were so close like when they were at his home.

He didn't bother to look who that was instead he was more bothered to look at her just inches away from him.

"Is everything ok boss?" someone sounded.

"Absolutely" he replied.

Then he closed the door slowly. Along with that she also stepped backwards. His hands returned to where it before was, at her side.

"Did you know that there are seventeen surveillance cameras from the entrance till here ?"

'What? Seventeen? Why didn't I think of the cameras?'

She was shocked. How could she just forget that? In a wast company like this, indeed you will be spotted even it you escape everyone's eyes coz there are other eyes too.

She couldn't reply to his question. She felt really embarrassed. She now thought that it would have been better if she had just kept it back at his home.

His focus turned towards her deep breaths and he could feel her running heart. He withdrew his hands and got hold of hers and dragged her towards the sofa aside. She sat there which made her feel a lot better. He grabbed a glass full of water from his desk and handed it to her.

She received it and drank. She was feeling a lot better but could feel a lot more if she would just lay down. So she slowly bend her neck backwards, resting her head in the sofa keeping her handbag just beside.

He took the glass from her hand and sat beside her. Her sweat was all invisible now. She came back to the normal state. After a minute she lifted her head to see him staring at her.

Frankly, he was too irresistible. His ravishing sight can make anyone go crazy for him.

Suddenly the thought of why she came here struck her.

"Oh....I came to return this"

His sight fell on the necklace. He looked towards the other direction and said, "You can have it"

For a moment she felt happy. But it isn't supposed to be with her. She had done nothing to be worthy of it.

"But..... how can I..... I mean...why are you..."

"A gentleman never takes back what he once gifted"

She noticed a sudden caballero look in him.

"Don't think too much..... " he said, "just keep it"

But her mind didn't allow her to do so.

"But I haven't done anything to take it.... I just don't like to get gifts which are not rewards for my action"

He narrowed his eyes towards her.

"Fine, as you wish. Tomorrow seven at Hotel Lereece"

"Huh???"

'I expected him to just take it back....'

He strided to exit the cabin.

Reichel once again had to meet him. She sighed.

Suddenly the door opened a bit and half of him was visible.

"Reminder.....Tomorrow, seven, Lereece.....And prepare yourself"

He closed the door. Silence clouded.

'Prepare yourself ? What is he gonna make me do?'

Once again the door opened and there came a whistle and an one eye blink.

"Did he just... blink?"

Her lips curved for a smile unknowingly.

Some kind of weird feeling crawled through her mind.

That scene of him rewinded in her mind. Again and again. He looked extremely hot during that. She kept on daydreaming, like a five year old longing for a cotton candy.

Suddenly a message popped up. She took her phone to see the message from an unknown number.

Unknown sender :

Do you plan to live in my company princess?

"Who's your princess?" she mumbled with a smile.
