Chapter 11! My Virgin Heart!

Reaching Crawford Chambers, Milady smiled beautifully to the front desk receptionist and requested to see Sherry Hills. The receptionist nearly drove her out of the premises but maintained a forced smile as she could not turn the enthusiastic client away. Who walks into Crawford Chambers and asks of Sherry Hills of all people? Finding out through their conversation that Milady already had an appointment with Miss Sherry Hills, she thanked her stars for exercising enough professionalism just now.

Milady remained unfazed all the while feigning oblivion to the forceful looks the receptionist kept throwing at her.

Impatience overtook Sherry who was monitoring the reception hoping and praying for Milady to save her dear life. At the sight of her, Sherry jumped onto her feet in preparedness to meet with Milady when Rockson suddenly called to interrupt her. With her ever-cheerful voice, she picks up the call with a coy "hello boss! what a coincidence, don't you think?"

Rockson couldn't be bothered with the pest of a human and responded by giving her a few instructions after which he hung up without waiting for her response. Sherry looked dumbfounded at her phone and kept wondering why there is such a vast difference in treatment between her and Milady. Swallowing her bitterness unwillingly, Sherry sat back in her seat, awaiting a call from the receptionist.

Without waiting too long, Milady was ushered in by the receptionist who received her earlier.

Sherry couldn't help the words "you look more beautiful in person" before holding her tongue just in time to avoid spilling the beans. Motioning with her hand, she showed Milady her sit, who then sat down hoping the meeting will be a short one for the sake of her dearest breakfast. She wasn't enthusiastic about the meeting.

Taking a look at the coffee which she just got served, Milady did not know whether to laugh or cry. There was no accompaniment, how disappointing. All the while, there was an unfaltering businesslike smile on her beautiful face as she veered her eyes away from the disappointment before her to the pretty mixed-race woman standing opposite to her. Being a combination of black and white, she looked so beautiful with her black hair, thick lashes and the perfect height for a girl. Milady took an immediate liking to the beauty before her.

"Welcome to our Crawford Chambers Miss Gaya. Good to have you here." Sherry intentionally used 'our' for the introduction to spark Milady's interest and also to check what reaction she may have to that statement. Milady smiled in return "hello! Nice of you to have invited me. You must be Miss Hills" Sherry smiled brighter than before and responded "yes I am, but you can just call me Sherry" Milady returned the courtesy with "just call me Lady"

After the exchange of courtesies, Sherry set the ball rolling "I understand you have many questions right now but I will request you to relax and wait for my boss. He will be with you shortly. His ongoing meeting should be ending just about now" Milady could only respond with a nod while lamenting her hunger deep within her heart. The businesslike smile never leaving her beautiful face."

Thirty minutes into the wait, Sherry returned to the meeting room and Milady could only see her holding the door for someone behind her. For no exact reason, her heartbeat quickened and she took in a deep breath to calm herself down, all to no avail and at the same time thinking to herself "whew! this is a first." Fixing her gaze on the door, her eyes met certain familiar blue eyes and she froze in place.

Milady kept her gaze on the familiar yet unfamiliar face while thinking to herself "How could it be him? Should I say thank you for the other day or just pretend I don't recognise him?" She could not help the many thoughts running through her mind. One prominent thought in her mind was "is it too late to go back?" At that thought, her legs moved faster than her brain and she started making her way out of the meeting room.

Rockson braced himself and stood in her path, only for Milady to raise her head in confusion. Looking into those beautiful eyes that had captivated and rendered him sleepless for the past years, Rockson's resolve was about crumbling and he was on the verge of grabbing her for a long tight hug when Sherry suddenly spoke with amusement in her voice "Lady, do you need anything? I don't mind getting it for you" Milady stopped in her tracks and processed the information within a few seconds, realising Sherry was giving her a way out " I need to use the washroom, please lead the way"

Throwing a look to Rockson that read "you owe me" Sherry took Milady by the hand and gently dragged her towards the ladies room. Finally remembering her manners, Milady turned towards Rockson robotically "excuse me, sir, I'll be right back"

Rockson could only watch in silence as the woman who had tormented his sleep day and night was dragged away.

At the ladies' room, Sherry pretended to use a cubicle as she flushed the clear water away. Unbeknownst to her, Milady did the same on her end.

Finally looking at the surroundings, Milady was convinced this is not your regular washroom. With only two cubicles and a lavish yet simple design all over, there was a bathroom along the same lane as the washroom and an adjacent door at the entrance to the washroom. It sure seems like the house in the office for the hardworking boss.

Without being told, Milady knew the room she currently stood belongs to Rockson Palmer. She couldn't help touching the tiled wall, hoping to find a trace of him or better still, leave her traces behind. Upon realising her train of thought, Milady chided herself for her foolishness. "How could he be single with such a pretty lady beside him at all times! Considering the precision with which she moves about in his space, she must have frequented this place quite often. Milady could not help the blush appearing on her face as her imagination run wild. "aaaahh!! This is too much for my virgin heart" thought Milady in frustration.
