The Awkward Greeting

Ruth was staring at the pair confused like they knew each other.

"You may leave us now Ruth." Christian finally composing himself.

She nodded and left them alone together.

Jeanohntae who was still in shock, never made her gaze fall.

"It's still rude to stare." Christian said with a smirk on his face.

Jeanohntae quickly dropped her gaze and felt the heat burn her delicate skin. His aura was so dark and strong that she was startled and stuttered.

"I-I'm so sorry again." She apologized remembering that she did the same thing a few days ago.

'Jeanohntae! I missed that name. I've been looking for her everyday but never succeeded. Now she comes out of nowhere. Where has she been!?? How could I not recognize her!?? Has it really been that long!??' Christian thought to himself.

He snapped himself out of his thought. "Let's get started shall we.'"

Jeanohntae sat across from him and felt really uncomfortable being there. Seeing her nervous, he calmly asked, "Would you like something to drink!??" While pulling out the bottle of Rosé he bought from her a few days ago.

"No thank you!" She said with a shy smile on her face.

Feeling the intensity in the room. She had not realized that she was turning red. Upon seeing her face, he wanted to smile but stayed professional.

"My name is Christian Maddox. I am the CEO of C.M Holdings.' With a cold tone and dark expression. He didn't want to sound like that towards her, but this is how he is when he's at work.

Jeanohntae was scared by the way he was talking. 'Is this what Ruth was talking about!?? So much anger coming from one person.' Jeanohntae too remained professional.

"My name is..."

"I know who you are Jeanohntae." He abruptly interrupted her before she could finish. "I've been looking for you."

Jeanohntae was shocked by his words. She had a confused look on her face. "huh!??"

Christian felt a little disappointed about her response. He stared at her with a frown. 'Does she not remember me anymore!?? I guess it really must have been that long huh!??' He asked himself.

"I-I'm sorry Mr. Maddox I think you have the wrong person. I have to go. No need for an interview, this was a big misunderstanding." She quickly got up and ran out the office before he could say anything. She was frightened and did not know what else to do but run.

Christian wanted to stop her, but he held himself together and frowned as he watched her turn on her heels and run out of his office.

Jeanohntae ran past Ruth who was a little surprised to see her run out the office. 'He must have scared another beautiful woman.' Ruth shook her head and sighed. She was already getting attached to Jeanohntae.

Jeanohntae ran out of the elevator and out the door. The rude receptionist caught sight of her running out the company doors. The receptionist had an evil smirk on her face.

Jeanohntae got in her car and sped off back home.

When she arrived at home, she was wondering why he has been looking for her. 'Am I the girl Ruth was talking about!?? Why !??' She thought to herself.

She took a nice long shower before laying down to sleep. She got into her pajamas and jumped onto her bed. She didn't want to keep thinking about what just happened to her. Everything was getting a little fuzzy as she did not have time to process everything that happened.

'I've had enough excitement for one day' she sighed. She relaxed her body and just stared at the ceiling. "What is going on with me today!??"

She shrugged her curiosity and slowly fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Jeanohntae woke up and freshened herself up. She walked downstairs to where her father was and gave him a light kissed on the cheek. "I'll be back dad, heading out to look for more jobs."

Jeanohntae opened the door and was about to walk out when her father yelled back. "Don't overwork yourself Jean. There's always tomorrow if you don't find any today."

"I know dad! See you later." Jeanohntae walked out and closed the door. She got into her car and started looking for jobs.

Hours later, she came back home after a long and hard search for a job but did not succeed. "Dad! I'm home." Jeanohntae yelled out.

Rudy was happily cooking in the kitchen. "Hi sweetheart, you're home just in time. Dinner is ready. I made your favorite."

Jeanohntae already knew what is was. She sat at the table and waiting patiently for her father. "Yes! Dumplings." She was so excited.

Rudy came out and placed the food on the table. "Thanks dad, you're the best."

After a delicious meal. Jeanohntae helped her father clean up and then went upstairs to her shower and then hopped right into bed.
