Attraction Precedes Love

Monday Morning.....

Betty checked her bag for the tenth time to make sure everything was inside.

"Why are you so nervous and tensed? Today is your first day at work but you're acting like you were going for a secret service" grace said.

"I'm not nervous, I'm just making sure I have everything I need, I don't want to disappoint my boss at my first day" Betty replied still checking her stuffs.

"You'll be fine, you have nothing to worry about, make sure you have fun while you're working, make friends too but be careful. Take good care of yourself". Grace said sounding worried.

"Who is now getting worried? I'll be fine, I'm a big girl remember? I'll be ok, just take care of yourself" Betty said straightening her clothes as she stood up.

I'm ready to leave now, she said hugging grace as she went outside with her. Gracie watched her until she boarded a taxi and left.

**********

The taxi stopped her in front of the company, which stood powerfully in the busy road of country A.

She stepped inside the compound, and walked towards the building, she noticed the fine sport car parked in the garage just close to the gate.

"Wow, I wonder whose car it is"

"It's the bosses car", a voice came from behind.

She turned to see Wilson, "oh Mr Wilson good morning" Betty greeted with a bow, "good morning Betty, what are you still doing here? You're supposed to be at the office by seven O'clock, didn't you get my mail? Wilson asked her with a serious expression.

"Omg, am Soo sorry my server was down" .

"No need for explanation, quickly report to the CEO's office right now". Wilson gave the order and left.

************

She got to the CEO's office and knocked lightly on the door, there was no response. She knocked again and when there was no response, she stepped back to look at the other offices, she thought she came to the wrong office.

Just then the door opened, just as she turned around to see who opened the door, her bag slipped from her hands, "this can't be happening" she said as she bent down to pick up her bag, "calm down girl, just breath" She said to herself as she picked her bag.

Benjamin just stood there watching her, he didn't offer to help her pick the bag, he just observed her.

He has been pacing the office when he heard the Knock on the door, he had been very curious to see what his P.A looked like. He didn't know why he was so anxious to see her, normally he wouldn't care but he doesn't know why this one was different.

He had spied her from his window. He hadn't expected her to look this beautiful, he had hurriedly arranged his clothes. Seeing her up close he realised she was even more beautiful than the picture Wilson showed to him.

Her red hair was tousled mass of spiralling curls that flowed over her shoulders and it perfectly suited her skin tone, which was milky with a hint of rose, she had hazel eyes which was currently heavy. The colour of cloudy seas, and was carefully accented with the mascara and liner.

She cleared her throat lightly to get his attention, he seemed distracted, which was a good thing as it have her time to recover.

"Hello sir , I'm Betty Cruz" she said smiling brightly as she extended her hand for a handshake.

He felt a bit embarrassed to have been caught admiring her so openly, "yea please come in" he said roughly as he felt his skin tingle as he made that little physical contact with her.

He couldn't understand his attraction to the lady, how was he to work with her for a long time and stay emotionally aloof if he already was felling this attracted.

She stepped inside the office making sure not to brush her body against his. She looked around the office, "your office is beautiful" she said trying to make light conversation.

"You're welcome and thank you" he said with a polite bow.

"My name is Benjamin Jackson, but as my personal assistant you will call me Mr. Benjamin. I'll show you to your office so you can settle down, someone will put you through everything you need to know about the company and your job. I'll see you after lunch, come with me. He said without giving her time to respond to everything he had just told her.

"Your office will be next to mine so you can come quickly immediately I need to your assistance. Do you understand?".

"I understand Mr. Benjamin" she said smiling back at him praying the door to her new office has a Goodluck.

Immediately she entered, she waited for a minute by the door to make sure he was either beside her or had moved away, then she turned the key in the lock, she closed her eyes and slipped to the floor.

She looked around the office, it was an office fit for a president. She walked to the arm chair and sat on it, "wow Soo comfortable"..... She still couldn't believe that she owned this office, she felt happy.

*****************

Though being attracted to his P.A wasn't what he does... But just maybe he could break some boundary, he didn't have to Emotionally involved to have sex right? He could only be attracted to her without emotional attachments.

He looked at the clock as it struck down 1:00pm, he had never been so eager for lunch as he was right now, he stepped out of the office and went to Wilson's office on the next floor to have lunch.
