Her eyes are saying something

Hazel and other members of her team entered the meeting room. Everyone present in the room greeted each other with a smile except Carlyx who still had a cold and stern expression on his face. He stood up to shake hands with Hazel the CEO of the company.

Hazel looked into Carlyx's eyes to maybe show that she was a confident girl. But she didn't know what effect that eye contact is going to have on her later on.

Carlyx said while shaking hands with Hazel while looking into her brown eyes, " Nice to meet you, Miss Hazel, I am looking forward to the new journey of two companies."

"Same here I am excited to work with such an amazing company of yours, 'The Martins' has always been one of my dreams to work with," Hazel replied with a smile on her beautiful lips.

Carlyx sat back in his place after giving a nod to start the meeting. Different discussions about the prices, terms and conditions, finances and all the stuff were going on.

Hazel was sitting in front of Carlyx at the other end of the table as both were facing each other.

Carlyx looked unconsciously at Hazel. He was supposed to turn his face towards the big screen which was displaying some slides, but he didn't want to turn his face away from Hazel. He was still looking at Hazel, he didn't know why. He repeatedly told himself to stop looking at a girl like that.

His mind was trying to memorize the features of her face but why? Her almond eyes, her beautiful heart-shaped lips, her nose. But why? Why was his mind so keenly observing all of her actions? Carlyx was thinking if he had seen Hazel somewhere before. Meanwhile, Hazel turned her face from the screen and saw a pair of green eyes already looking at her. Their eyes met. Hazel could feel her heart beating fast like the speed of lightning. She could sense some dark stories in Carlyx's eyes. After looking into that green ocean of his eyes Hazel remembered something.

They maintained eye contact for a whole damn minute and were disturbed by Steve saying, "Sir what do you think about this project? "

Both were startled by Steve's voice. For the first time in his life, Carlyx lost his mind to something else except his work in a meeting. They both broke eye contact. Carlyx could feel butterflies in his stomach rushing here and there. He was taken aback by the fact that the first time in his life he got to experience butterflies just by a fucking eye contact.

Carlyx felt during the eye contact that Hazel's eyes were trying to say something. Her eyes were telling some story that he is ready to listen to. Her eyes were portraying a dark past. He could feel it. But they have never met before. Had they?
