His effects

"So....my secretary told me you wanted to join forces with Cruze Empire.Might I ask why?"Stella asked as she fixed her gaze on Apollo.Apollo was undeniably attractive.... She had to admit.

One thing she found incredibly attractive about him was how a strand of his dark hair covered one of his eye with mystery.It was almost mesmerizing.

Apollo cleared his throat. " To be fair," he began,his words carrying weight."we all know that the Cruze Empire is a significant company.It has grown rapidly in power and influence.That, as all know, us a well known fact "Apollo said, his voice assertive and resonant , instantly capturing Stella's attention. Though she tried to focus on his words, her eyes kept wandering to admire his looks. In the dim lights of the club, she had noticed he was handsome, but the soft sunlight streaming through the windows of her office revealed just how attractive he really was.

"Ms.Cruze?"His sonorous voice pulled her out of her silly trance.

"Uh...."Stella found herself blinking rapidly , dumbfounded by the effect he had on her.Apollo , unable to hide his amusement,let out a sly smile.

Stella found herself bewildered by the situation. No man had ever held such power over her before, not even Douglas Griffin. There was something about Apollo Dunn that seemed to captivate her completely. Was it his dark, silky locks or perhaps his intense hazel eyes that seemed determined to draw her in?

No, any guy could have it.

She tried to respond, but the words caught in her throat.

"Yeah," she began, struggling to find her composure as she felt herself getting more and more flustered from his gaze.

"Um, so..."

Apollo looked amused as he observed her uneasiness, his smile growing wider as he leaned in. "So?" he repeated, his voice soft but demanding.

Clearing her throat, Stella tried to regain her composure as she inquired, "So, what exactly does the Dunn Empire do, particularly Dunn Root?"

Apollo leaned back in his chair and responded assertively, "Our business focuses on gemstone manufacturing and processing, as well as watchmaking."

Stella nodded in agreement, "I have heard about your empire."

Apollo responded with a confident nod. "You should have," he affirmed.

"But why do you think I should collaborate with your company, Mr. Dunn?" Stella asked directly.

"We at Dunn Root specialize in watch manufacturing and gemstone mining. Are you aware of how beneficial our collaboration could be for your empire? Can you imagine the stunning combination of your Empire's exquisite jewelry with our innovative watch designs and precious gemstones?Together, our two companies could create a synergy that would be unmatched in the industry. Your Empire's jewelry would be enhanced by the elegance and precision of our watches, while the opulent gemstones would add a touch of luxury and exclusivity to your brand."Apollo said, his tone authoritative.

Stella sat silently, acknowledging the validity of his argument. She was tempted to agree, but her pride wouldn't allow it. Not after the way he had treated her at the club.

Stella's smile was tinged with sarcasm as she spoke, "Well, Mr. Dunn, I must admit that you do have a compelling argument. But honestly, did you really expect me to just instantly agree to cooperate with your company?"

Apollo smirked.He knew this was coming.

Stella's tone was firm and clear as she spoke, "I have no interest in entangling my empire with a company that is not steady and reliable."

Apollo's intense gaze bore into her, and as he spoke, his voice was firm. "You know, I knew you'd do this, right?"

Stella was taken aback by his look and the strange feeling it stirred within her. She couldn't quite understand what was happening or why his gaze was having such a powerful effect on her.

"Excuse me?" Stella retorted, slightly offended." I'm certainly no child. You knew exactly what you were up to "

Apollo responded in a firm tone.

With a firm tone, Stella Cruze spoke, "Please leave, Mr. Dunn." Apollo's smirk widened, clearly amused. "And if I refuse?" His gaze watched her every move as she stood up and walked purposefully towards the door, her heels clicking against the marble floor.

"I usually don't resort to this kind of measure," Stella said firmly, opening the door. "I asked you to leave."

Apollo stood up and approached her, his smirk widening. As he stood in front of her, she felt a jolt of electricity down her spine from the intensity of his gaze.And she couldn't understand why he found the situation so amusing. Her cheeks turned a slight hue of pink.

Apollo chuckled, his voice smooth and mocking. "I didn't know you had a super power, Ms Cruze"
