Chapter 6

Meeting Him

Kelvin pov Kelvin was stressed beyond measure, between a target to met and the need to remember something, anything from the time he traveled was getting into him. Just when he had a lot to do James decides to go missing taking his jet too. He had rolled up his sleeves and unbutton two of his buttons. His hair was roughed. "Wow, you look stressed" He knew that voice was James, who else was fund of inviting themsleves into his office without knocking. He looked at James with his deep blue eyes, and if they could kill it would be save to say James would be dead. "Thank you for mentioning the obvious, where the hell have you been" "Am fine thank you, told you I had an emergency right beside I left for only few days. Didn't know you would miss me like that" He said twirling on the chair, Kelvin was getting angry, but he couldn't help it Kelvin was right. "Fine, I need you to read through this document and... " "Tsk, tsk, am not your assistant or secretary you have Brenda for that" "She is busy, I gave her other task. You know how it went when I searched for a new assistant." He sighed, it was official he needed a break. "That is why I went out of my way to get you a reliable person who is not swoon by your charms and will get the job done," cause she is your wife. He was tempted to add. "Yeah, like I haven't heard that before" He rolled his eyes and walked behind his desk. It was glass, giving him a nice view of the sun set and the city. "Don't roll your eyes at me, it wasn't easy getting her" "It's a her huh" "Just give her a chance will you!" "Fine, I don't have the energy to argue with you , bring her in." James, walked out to call Clara she was at the reception all this while. Kelvin had no doubt this will be like his previous interview. He needed coffee to go through this, why would James personally get him a personal assistant?. Still in his thought, someone cleared their throat to gain his attention. He looked up to see the most beautiful woman he had ever laid his eyes upon. She had green almond shaped eyes, slim nose leading to a plum and pink lips. She had all the curves at the right place. He thought he loved slim women but she made him change his taste. In short she was a goddess in his eyes. Her hair was is a bun, on her baby face. His eyes met hers, and for a split second he recognized her but it went before he could grasp it. Realizing he had been checking her out, which was a first, he offered he a sit. "Please, have a sit" "Thank you" She said, her voice was like fine silk to his ears, her dimples showed when she smiled. "What is your name" he badly wanted to know her name. "Clara Hudson" "Clara, why do you want this position" "I have always wanted to work at the knight corporations. To be part of a wonder..... " He stopped listening, he had heard those lines before, but her lips was entertaining to watch. He wondered if they would be soft if kissed. ".... and to cater for my son" What? she had to be married, here he was thinking he had a chance with. Wait did he just think about oh no, he needed this interview to end he was loosing it with her in his office. "Okay, I will let you know if you will be hired. Leave your phone number with my secretary" He dismissed her turning his back on her. He breathed in relief when he heard the door shut. "Did you like her" "If I ever die from heart attack, it would definitely be your fault." "Sorry bro, so do you like her?" "No, no she is married" "Yeah, I know I didn't mean like like like. Urgh why would you think so anyways" "You asked remember" "Yes, like can she be your personal assistant" he said with his hands in the air. "No, I don't like her" he said quickly. "Errr, why?" "She...she.. it's my office and I decide I want her or I don't" The truth was he was sure if she worked with him he would do something rash. "That's not a reason, do you know what I went through to get her" "I never asked" he said sitting on the couch he had in his office. "Fine give me one good reason" He could think of a lot. One she was too beautiful, and a distraction to him. Which he wouldn't confess to James that he, who cause distractions was going to be distracted. "Stop zoning out on me and tell me. Then she is having the job, she will be here by eight o'clock tomorrow." "I haven't said that" "I know why you don't want her" he raised his eyebrow at him. "Which is?" "She didn't fall for your charm and you see her as a distraction." James finished with a smirk knowing he was right. He forgot how well James knew him, and he wanted to wipe that smirk from his face. "That's not true" he denied. "What ever makes you sleep Kelvin" "I need to take her home, don't be late tomorrow. it's wouldn't be good for your reputation." He said walking out. "Wait, I never said yes, why are you taking her?" for some reason he was jealous that James was doing that and not him, his feelings was confusing him. "You did when you lied, for someone you don't want to employ you sure are curious about her." he chuckled leaving Kelvin gaping. James was as stubborn as a mule, he loved that about him but he is beginning to dislike it. He wouldn't admit it but he was excited about tomorrow, maybe it was a one day feeling, or because he was stressed. Deep down he knew it wasn't true, one thing continued bugging him. If she was married why do she say to support her son? Was she a single mum? If so the man must be an imbecile to leave her. Or maybe she was a widow. That would be sad, she was too young to be one. Tomorrow was a surprise and he was excited to unwrap it. With that it mind he closed early to be have the needed energy for it. ******** ******* ***** "This is it Clara, remember you have to make him believe you need the job, to him you are like every other applicant." Helped her from the car. She braced herself for a life changing moment. They entered the building, workers went about their work, not even sparing them a glance.James led them to the private elevator and pressed twelfth floor. "Please stop it" "What?" "Tapping your feet" "Oh, sorry I didn't release I was doing it." "Good morning Brenda" James greeted. Clara looked at the her the person James greeted, the was a slim blond with square glasses on her face. She was wearing a pink blouse that couldn't cover her boob's. "Morning James, you didn't inform me about any appointments for Mr Knight" "Yes, she is with me. Is he at the office" "Yes" "Good, Clara please wait here" "Okay" "I can't help but ask are you here for any job interview, cause to the beat of my knowledge there is none" she smiled tightly. Clara had enough to think, she couldn't handle a nosy person right now. "Yes am here for a job interview" "Really, for what position" "Aren't you suppose to be busy?" "So rude, you won't go far with that attitude." Clara just met her and she couldn't stand her. James was still with him, did he reject her before seeing her. Would he remember her when he sees her? All these questions swam in her head, she was beginning to doubt her plan. "Clara, you can go I will be waiting here for you. The first door on your left knock once and you can enter." She nodded and followed his direction. She couldn't hear anything except her heart beat, when he entered his office. She was rooted to the spot, here he was in the flesh. Even more handsome than when she saw him last, she cleared her throat to get his attention. When he looked up at her, she almost fainted, his eyes where blue as ever. His black hair was disheveled but it made him more sexier. Gosh it took everything in her not to run into his arms and kiss the life out of him. However she couldn't, she could see he was checking her out with his hooded eyes she could never forget. Only him made her feel wanted and appreciated in her own skin. When their eyes met, every doubt went out the window, that he was the one. "Please, have a sit" She took her sit opposite him. "What is your name?" "Clara Hudson" She couldn't possibly come here bearing his name, it would bring questions she wasn't ready to answer yet. "Clara, please tell me why you want this position" "I have always wanted to work at the knight corporations. To be part of a wonderful experience, to learn from the man you has made it. Also this job will enable me cater for my son" "Okay, I will let you know if you will be hired. Leave your phone number with my secretary" He said standing up to face the window. She didn't know what to expect, this was a new k she didn't know what to do she gently stood up and close the door. She met James at the reception and she desperately wanted to hug and cry on his shoulders but she couldn't. They exchanged glances, and she asked of the ladies room. It was nerve-racking to be in the same room with someone you knew so much but pretended you didn't. She waited for James to return, hoping desperately to be back at the hotel, take a long shower and sleep she felt mentally drained. James came after awhile, leaving Knight corporations immediately. To their hotel the drive was silent, a comfortable one each deep in their own thoughts. She thought would he remember her during the course of the interview. Should she stay to pretend to be someone else till he remembered. Will he even remember? or will she have to make him fall in love with her again all these. All these thoughts made her sad actually, she needed it to go fast it will be the best birthday present for Aaron. She would give anything to see that father and son moments, to see that bond grow between them. But all these were dreams that she hoped would actually come true for now she would just take take baby steps a day a step at a time.
