"P-president the b-board is waiting for you in the c-c-conference room" the poor secretary stuttered as he informed the ice queen in the disguise of the president and CEO of Li Corporations.
The queen herself was on the top floor the eleventh floor of the building which was where her office resided, one of the many branches of Li Corporations.
She was backing him looking at the amazing view from her large window. The moment he saw that she was about to turn to face him, he immediately closed his eyes to avoid eye contact with her beautiful, but deadly emerald eyes. Her eyes were like a forbidden fruit that one must avoid no matter how attractive and luring it was.
He was closing his eyes so tight that his long lashes were being swallowed by his eyelids
'Why hasn't she said anything yet? why is she keeping me in this suspense? She usually says something after at least ten seconds when I inform her about something. Has she suddenly turned from a demon to the devil himself maybe I angered her somehow, no...she wouldn't get angry just because I informed her about the board, or maybe is there something behind i...'
Before he could continue in his train of thoughts he suddenly felt a sudden heaviness in the atmosphere surrounding him. It was suffocating, he felt choked to death. Maybe she'd passed he thought but why was it feeling way stronger every passing second?
He slowly but cautiously opened his eyes, when his eyes were fully opened he was faced with a pair of emerald cat eyes they were very cold he could feel shivers crawl under his fair skin. He swore that no amount of air conditioners could make him feel cold compared to her presence let alone her eyes.
He had to agree that she was very beautiful, no, that would be an understatement. She was a goddess. Her cat-shaped eyes, her Emerald irises, her pointed nose, and her plump pinkish-red lips were just so alluring.
She was tall, almost as tall as he was. But he was a few centimeters taller than her. She had a lean and sexy body.
She looked intently into his eyes and his eyes quickly traveled down her curvy body and reached the ground in milliseconds.
Right now he wished the ground could open up and swallow him. He was close to melting like ice under the scorching heat of the sun.
After what seemed like many hours, she finally spoke
"I can't walk through you, you're not a ghost neither am I," she spoke in a calm yet chilly voice that shook him a little bit.
"I'm s-sorry god... I mean p-president" he said as he quickly stepped away from the door and she walked past him.
He let out a very heavy sigh of relief, he didn't realize how long he had been holding his breath.

"Brother, I need help" Xander voiced out. Meanwhile, the iceberg was closing his eyes one would think that he was dead if not for his chest moving in a rhythmic order.
"Br..."
The atmosphere suddenly changed to that of an eerie, deadly one. That dangerous chilly aura emitting from his brother. He knew that when his brother was deep in thoughts it was a bad idea to disturb his peace of mind, but he couldn't wait any longer so he spoke anyway.
"Brother I-I don't think I can handle this responsibility, it's just too much... please I have a better idea" he paused for a moment and looked at the ceiling as if thinking of something, after a while, his eyes suddenly lit up then he continued "You're a very handsome, eligible bachelor in your twenties, mature enough for marriage. Why don't you find a nice woman, fall in love, get married, and have a child that can carry on with the business".
He finally opened his eyes those scary midnight-black eyes. His eyes were pitch black with no single trace of any other color.
He tried to divert his attention from his brother
"Why are your eyes roaming?" the iceberg finally spoke.
"Umm nothing," he said scratching the nape of his head nervously.
"Marriage... love" he scoffed. "One thing you should know is that I don't do love," his voice echoed in the office sending shivers down his brother's spine.
'God that voice, I hate that voice. How can someone's voice be that calm and so dangerously chilly at the same time?' Xander pondered deeply in his head trying to maintain his composure.
"Brother, umm... I have some work to attend to, see you later," he said and he scurried out of the office until he bumped into a lean figure, his brother's secretary.
"I'm so sorry sir," the secretary said
"Yeah yeah whatever," he said as he hurriedly walked through the door. He didn't care about what anyone did as long as he escaped from that devil in the form of his brother.
"President sir, your meeting with the board will commence by eleven-thirt..."
"What's the time now" he cut her in between her sentence
"S-sir it's eleven- twenty"Shee was glad that he wasn't looking at her with those pair of devilish pitch-black eyes If not she didn't think that she will be able to stand right now.
He looked like he was thinking about something else but whatever it was she was happy he wasn't looking at her with those scrutinizing eyes of his which made her so uncomfortable.
This man was a work of art, a masterpiece so to say. It looked like God had personally taken his time to mold him.
Even Xander his brother looked a lot like him. They had the same eyes but it wasn't as dangerous as his brother's, this man had some story hidden deeply... so mysteriously behind those eyes. Xander was very handsome but in her twenty-three years of living, she hasn't seen a man as gorgeously handsome as this man, not even a celebrity.
