Chapter 8 First encounter

Luna was woken up by a knock on the door. She went to check and it was room service. "Good evening ma'am. What will you have for dinner?" After thinking for a while, she said, "Chicken salad and fries please. Thanks." "Anything to drink?" "Lukewarm water will do. Thanks once again."

After half an hour, the food was brought and Luna had her supper after which she took a shower before changing into her night gown. She called Bella's number but it was switched off. She tried it several times but nothing changed. She then decided to leave it. 'How strange, maybe she didn't want any interruptions when with her boyfriend,' she thought.

She started playing games on her phone and that's when she slowly dozed off till the next morning. She was woken up with a knock on the door and as usual it was room service. She was given her breakfast and after that she started checking in her clothes to find what to wear for the interview. She attempted calling Bella again but it was still off.

At three she took a shower and began preparing herself for the interview. She memorised the questions and by a half past four o'clock, she was done with everything.

She was dressed in a short tight black leather skirt which showed her curves. She put in a small white crop top and on top put a matching black leather jacket. She let her hair fall and put a light make up. She then caught a tiny black bag just for compliment.She was a sight to drool. She then called Mr Vikram to confirm," Hello sir, I was asking if I should come." "Yes Miss. Mr Cullen expects you."

With that, Luna hailed a cab and handed the driver the address. Luna noted how isolated the area seemed to be and she became worried on how she will be able to come back since it's already evening. After twenty minutes, Luna got out of the cab and what she saw made her speechless. She had never seen such a luxurious Villa in her life. At least not physically.

When she reached the grand gate, it automatically opened itself and just then a man approached her. He was so tall and very handsome but he seemed serious. "I am Mr Vikram, you're welcome." He offered his hand and she shook it with hers in response. "The pleasure is mine Mr. Vikram," replied Luna. "This way Miss," he said as he led her to the grand entrance of the Villa. Luna's heart began pumping faster for reasons she didn't know. They reached the sitting room and they found the legendary Graham Cullen standing with his back facing the entrance while looking through the glass wall. He was looking at the forest behind the glass wall holding a glass of champagne in one hand and the other in his trouser pockets. He was dressed in black casual trousers and a white T-shirt which hugged his perfect body and through this shirt one could see that his body was well maintained.

"Here is the journalist sir, do you need anything else?" asked Vikram. "No. That is all for today Vikram. Have a good night sleep," his deep voice rang through the sitting room.

"Okay sir have a good night." "That sure I will," replied Graham and Vikram left only the two of them in the Villa. Luna remained standing not knowing what to do. After what seemed like forever, he turned and their eyes met. They stared at each other not one averting their gaze away and to Luna, time stood still. She looked into those grey eyes and she felt she could get lost in them. She looked at his deep black hair which was disheveled but nonetheless gave him an incredible look. His sharp pointed nose perfect jawline and thin pink lips. She could never get tired of looking at him even though it meant doing it for eternity. He looked more handsome in person and she wondered how someone could be that perfect.

Graham on the other end saw a woman none like any he had ever seen. Yes she was beautiful but that's not what intrigued him the more because he had seen prettier women.

He looked at her blonde hair and then her big brown eyes which attracted him the more. Her sharp nose and her luscious lips which he couldn't wait to claim. It was his first time looking at a woman and have the need to know more about her.

"Okay Miss?" he tilted his head in question. "Lu-Luna Miss Luna, " she stuttered which impressed him. He could see the effect he had on her, not that he expected anything less.

"Haven't you satisfied your eyes enough?" he teased and as expected, her face became red as she blushed. "W-what are yousaying? I-I have to start the interview it's getting late," she stammered. She began fidgeting with the questionnaires which amused him. "Okay Luna. Let's start the interview," he said before leading her to the couch so as to start.
