Mine At First Sight

JACE

Dad! I exclaim wide eyed.....

Like who says such to his son about his managing director?

You heard me right son! You remember your Uncle Steve, my best friend?

Yeah! Even a toddler in New York knows the Woodswork

Well she is the first daughter of the Woodswork

The daughter Steve had with his late wife; dad explains

Wow; I have heard of Uncle Steve's late wife from mum as she was her best friend and I think she mentioned something about her daughter one time

She just returned from England after fourteen years and is twenty years old

A holder of five degrees and just finished her master's in business management; Dad summarizes

Beauty with brains huh? I comment with a chuckle

Well you are going to be 26 this year, so I think you should start a plan of bringing a lady home or watch me get you one! Dad smiles sinisterly

No way in hell are you doing such; I will bring home a bride at the right time

When you have never had a girlfriend? if you were not my son I would believe those articles that says you are gay

Dad, I just haven't met the right woman. Besides there has been no one that caught my attention since my existence and I strongly believe in Love; I mean you and mum inspires me to wait for the right one

Well you just noticed someone in my presence son so is that a light coming through that dark tunnel of yours?

Hmm this is not for you to know, Dad! she is my employee and I have a strict rule against office romance in my company

Maybe you need a remainder that you are the boss so you have the right to do whatsoever you want

Dad, let's call the topic a quit for she is a beauty who I will like to know better; I smirk flirtatiously

Great! Your mum will be thrilled to hear this great news

Whatever, dad! I sigh...

KIMBERLY

My first day at work is rather hectic but I totally love it

During lunch break, I met with Yvonne and Sam who took me to the lunch room in the company

I later learnt that they are couples but have to stay low as office romance is highly prohibited in the company

Well it wasn't a shocker as it makes work less efficient if allowed

They talked about how intimidating Jace is, where as I found him charming but kept to myself

Finalizing the projection for the deal I walk up to Stacy's desk so as to give her the document but she is not on seat

I had no choice but to take it to Uncle myself

The come in sign blink a red light after I rang the door bell

The chair is turned towards the glass wall facing the beautiful scenery so I clear my throat to get attention

Behold my boss! On seat instead of Uncle Pedro

His intense gaze got me feeling hot but I quickly regain my composure

Here are the documents! I projected and draft out a presentation package which is attached to the file

He takes the documents without a word taking his time to go through them

Hmm please sit! He speaks not sparing me a glance

Well you did a great Job, therefore get ready to present these to the investors at 10:00am tomorrow; he raises his head making eye contact but I quickly broke it

Alright sir! I joyfully reply as I heard that he always find faults in one's work

I suppose you will be needing the document for the night? He raises a brow looking super handsome....

What am I thinking!!

That won't be needed sir; I spent almost the whole day working on it so I suppose I can make a good over view for the presentation without the documents

My reason being that I don't want to carry a confidential document home to avoid stories.

Good luck with your first presentation at JAD's, Miss Woodswork! he wishes with a straight face

Good night Mr. Ferrati!

Good night

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

Good day Dad! Kim greets with a kiss

Good day baby! How was your first day at work?

Awesome Dad! I get to be treated like every employee with no gossip whatsoever

What is there to gossip about someone worthyof no attention whatsoever! Kaila cuts in arrogantly

Hmm actually there is nothing to gossip about in me as I am a creation of perfection sis! Kim winks at her

All I see is so many mistakes not worthy of the word "perfection"

Alas, you never attended English classes! Kaila retaliate venomously

Is someone convincing herself that she doesn't need classes to speak English for last I checked, my dear baby sister is a school dropout; I totally understand dear

Dad! Kaila sherieks losing all sort of mannerism making Kim smirk in pure Bliss

Kim! Steve reprimands not interested in ladies petty talks

Oh no Dad! Kaila started the game of cards totally forgetting that she has no card up her sleeve

I demand utter silence so we can eat in utmost peace; Ciara butts in

Well I am only keeping quiet for the sake of table manners! Kim spits back

Do you hear how imprudent Kim has become due to your excessive pampering Steve? Ciara complains unable to contain it³

I thought you just asked for a quiet and peaceful dinner so why the fuse Ciara? Steve state not sparing her a glance totally focusing his meal.

Do you need extra sauce Dad? Kim smiles brightly in mockery.

Not at all dear! Unaware of the glares being directed at him from the duo

FERRATI MANSION

Good day Mum! Jace kisses his mum

How was work dear? Who goes to work upon returning from a vacation?Mum scolds...

Mum, work was fine and I do; I simply give answers

Hi Dad!

Hey son! Don Pedro replies focusing on his meal

Hey bro! Daniel pulls a sit beside me while we exchange handshakes

So bro, I heard that there is this certain princess who happens to be Uncle's daughter, now your MD huh? Danny cuts in....

So? Jace asks unperturbed

Just saying will you allow office romance? because I am very much interested in beautiful ladies; Daniel winks

You wouldn't dare! Jace mutter with a glare

So is that you saying she is all yours, Jace? Ivy tauntes with a grin

That is for me to decide on mum; besides I will not want Danny having anything to do with my MD as he is gonna be a distraction

In essence, if I promise to do my runs with no disruption to your work, are we cool? Danny smirks

Daniel do not push me! Stay away from her; understood?

Aye aye captain! Daniel grins widely while their parent laugh in utter bliss

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

Laying on my bed watching the blue sky takes my memory to that fascinating deep sky blue eyes which takes away the problems and pains in the heart of any man, her smooth yet hardworking hands, those deep red cherry kissable lips, long legs, straight long nose

Gosh she is my ideal lady though I never knew I had a preference until today

To think I will see her every day at work makes work my new favorite hobby

Is this what they call love at first sight?

With that thought I fall into eternal dream of love....
