It took Anna about an hour to get two cups of coffee from the shop down the street because of the enormous crowd. Her feet trembled because they had no energy left to stand up straight but she tried hard to get to her office in one piece. She waited for the elevator quietly while resting against the wall and sipped out of one of the cups that she had bought for herself. The bag that she had accidentally brought along with her was hanging down one of her shoulders.

Finally, the elevator doors opened and Anna stepped in. The elevator was empty and it made her feel happy. After pressing the button on her floor, She stood in the corner and waited for the doors to close slowly.

"Should I put some mud in her coffee?" She looked down at Grace's cup with a wicked smile, While she was thinking about giving up on her evil plan, a hand stopped the doors from closing. Anna frowned and was about to curse but the doors opened slowly and her eyes met a pair of calm hazel eyes.

Thump…

Anna heard her heart jump, and a wave of warmth spread in her chest. The guy slowly stepped inside and pressed the top floor button.

Anna was staring at him shamelessly. He was a tall guy with wide shoulders and a well structured body. His complexion was fair but not too fair, he had a sharp jawline and dark filled eyebrows. He looked like a model freshly out of a magazine.

While Anna was busy complimenting his body with her eyes, the guy seemed a little uncomfortable under her lustful gaze and he turned around at Anna and just before he could say anything the elevator stopped with a jerk making Anna unstable. She was about to fall but the guy grabbed her shoulders, Anna's grip around her cup loosened and the coffee fell on the guy's shirt.

Anna's face paled when she saw his eyebrow's squeeze together. He was definarlty in pain because of the hot coffee.

"I...I am so sorry!! I didn't do it on purpose." She shrieked and freed herself from his grip. Sh ehurridley placed the other cup on the floor and patted the guy's shirt with her hands.

"Get your hands off me," He spoke in a low voice, making Anna pause. She looked up at him with a scared expression.

"I seriously didn't mean to spill it over you." She spoke in an apologetic tone. But he didn't pay any attention to her and looked away. He unbuttoned the upper few buttons of his shirt and glanced at his chest that was red because of the burning hot coffee. Anna's heart sank.

'WHat have I done? I am sure he is really mad at me for ruining his shirt…'

"We are stuck in here! Send help!" While Anna was twisting her fingers the guy pressed the emergency buttons a few times. Though his voice was low Anna could sense how annoyed he was.

She looked down at the spilled coffee and it suddenly struck her. She unzipped her bag and pulled out a white shirt. "Here! You can wear this, I didn't mean to ruin your clothes." She extended her hand and offered the shirt to him. The guy who was trying to keep a fair distance from her looked at the shirt she was offering him. Though he was suspicious of her actions he had no other choice then to take the short from her.

"Are you going to stare at me while I change?" he asked. Anna's face flushed and she looked away. But the walls of the elevator reflected his body in it even when Anna was looking away. She closed her eyes tightly to not annoy him any more.

WHen he was finally done changing Anna opened her eyes and looked at her designs short, perfectly wrapping the guy's body. The golden embroidered cuffs and collars circled his arms and neck and complimented his unique physique. She was awed at the sight of her hardwood coming out in such a perfect manner.

The guy looked at the door where he could see Anna's drooling eyes. He gave her a deadly look before looking away. The elevator started working again and the guy breathed out a sigh of relief. The doors opened and Anna's floor arrived. She stepped out of the elevator without looking back at him but she could feel the unfriendly gaze on her back.

"Gosh! WHy did I have to make him feel so uncomfortable? ANd what happened to my heart suddenly?" Anna rubbed her chest and walked into the office. Sh esaw Grace in her cabin flipping through her sketchbook leisurely.

'What are you doing here and why do you have my designs?" Anan placed the coffee on the table with force and pulled out the sketch book from her hands and frowned at her,

"You think I was trying to steal your designs? Don't get over yourself...YOu will never get recognized with these lousy drawings of yours." She spat out those words and picked up her coffee.

"Huff…" Anna closed the sketchbook and sat in her chair devastated. Eli moved her cahir closer to her and asked.

"I am sorry i couldn't stop her,"

"It's not your fault." She replied and opened her bag. She pulled out a dress from it. It was also white with golden thread work that made patterns on the thin fabric. The dress was an elegant party dress, it wasn't over done but it had a sense of elegance to it. Eli was mesmerised by the dress and she asked Anna excitedly.

"Are You going to submit this one?"

"I was going to do it but it was supposed to be a couple's dress. But I don't have the shirt anymore." She pouted.

"Did you lose it? Or was it stolen?" Eli reacted impulsively.

"No...Actually," Anna bit her lip and she snesed her cheeks heat up when hse though of the guy from the levator.

"I...I accidenetly spilled coffee over a guy and had to give him the shirt as an apology." She poke as quickly as she could and tured around so that Eli would not notice her blushing cheeks.
