MISSION: Make her fall for me

Stella blinked rapidly.Stella felt her cheeks warming, a subtle blush creeping across her face. It was inexplicable - she rarely showed such vulnerability in front of others. Apollo couldn't help but smile at her reaction, finding her both flustered and adorable at the same time. She was the rarest kind of woman, combining seductive, attractive, and prettiness with a hint of cute charm. Indeed, she was breathtakingly beautiful.

"What?"Stella said, trying to regain her composure. "You have a remarkable talent."Apollo said.

Stella's frustration was evident as she snapped back, her arms still crossed firmly. "What on earth are you talking about, Mr. Dunn?"

Apollo couldn't hold back a smirk as he continued to admire her flustered state. "Your cheeks, Ms Cruze," he said, gesturing with a playful grin. "You have the unique power to change their color quite impressively."

Stella frowned. "Excuse me?"She retorted. "Are you aware that we're here for business purposes and nothing more or nothing less?!"

Apollo simply chuckled, his smirk widening as he disregarded her attempts to steer the conversation back on track. He spoke with a hint of mischief in his voice, "I must admit, I find your talent interesting."

Stella's cheeks flushed ever so slightly, his words making her feel a strange combination of annoyance and... something else she couldn't quite place.

Stella's words caught in her throat as Apollo's intense gaze fixated on her. She took a deep breath and firmly stated, "Please leave, Mr. Dunn. I don't want you stepping foot in my office again, ever." Her voice was quiet, yet her anger was evident in her tone.

"Okay Ms Cruze."Apollo said , acknowledging her refusal with a nod."I hope you'll consider my proposal carefully.Think about the benefits we could both derive from working together."

Stella cast a dismissive glance toward him and gestured towards the door with a firm tone. "In your dreams, Mr. Apollo Dunn."

As she forcefully closed the door behind him, her anger was visibly evident through her body language.

Stella was beyond irritated. How dare he come into her office and waste her valuable time? From the moment she saw him today, she had already decided to reject his proposal, yet he seemed to have outsmarted her in her own game. Her anger was clearly visible through her body language, from the clenched fists to the rigid shoulders.

For once, Stella's thoughts weren't focused on the failed proposal. Instead, she was consumed by the perplexing effect this man had on her. The electric sensation that coursed through her spine whenever he was near and the way he managed to render her – a woman renowned for her confidence and eloquence – completely speechless.

Stella was in disbelief, shocked by her own reaction. She, the mighty Stella Cruze, who had never felt a hint of embarrassment before, had blushed because of this infuriatingly attractive man. She found him both bothersome and charming at the same time, leaving her feeling both annoyed and bewildered.

Frustration consumed Stella as she forcefully ran her hand over her forehead, walking back to her desk. She was utterly humiliated, and the mere thought of what had just transpired made her blood boil with anger.

Humiliation to her
