Chapter 2 The New CEO

• Sara’s POV
• I had arrived at work and got in the elevator to take me to my department. I have worked in this office for the past two years and I loved working here, but above all else, it was my way of escaping the reality of my home life. I entered my department, everyone was busy with their work, and I was about to sit at my desk when Lisa came running up to me and hugged me. She hugged me just as tightly as the first time she had and does this daily now. I hugged her back and after a long hug, she released me, letting me breathe a little.
• "Good morning, beautiful," Lisa said, making me laugh. She was my friend, but she was also a little crazy.
• "Good morning," I replied, smiling. I looked around the office and noticed that everyone was busier than usual.
• "What's going on? Is something wrong? Everyone seems to be working like a donkey today." I asked, looking at everything that was going on around me.
• "Today our company got the big business deal and got a with a new business partner and because of this everyone is busy, well that and the fact that the boss warned everyone not to make any mistakes, or we were all dead," Lisa said, shrugging her shoulders and I nodded my head.
• "But who is this new partner?" I asked, looking back at her. It was the first I had heard about any of this.
• "His name is Daniel Lautner," Lisa replied, going back to her desk. The name sounded so familiar, but I couldn't place where I had heard it before. I was trying to think deeply. His name was so different and his surname too. But I pulled myself out of my thoughts. I got to work, like everyone else, there was so much for me to do. i was trying to forget about him but that unknown stranger was not leaving my head. He was bothering me too much. That the next thing I knew it was lunchtime. I gritted my teeth in anger to see that I have not completed my work, and it is lunchtime.
• "Hey girl, let's go and eat," Lisa said, leaning on my desk, I nodded and smiled at the thought of food. I thought I was going to die, I was so hungry, I got up from my seat and grabbed my purse. We had only walked two or three steps before Mia came running towards us.
• " Sara... Lisa.... Fuck my life, Sara!!!" Mia exclaimed, almost screaming and her face was flushed.
• "What? What happened?" I asked her, thinking someone had died, judging by her reaction.
• "Just now…. I saw a very fucking handsome man in our office! And do not know why I think he is the one who everyone calls one night stand king," Mia screamed, I thought something big had happened, I was going to call the police or an ambulance. I gritted my teeth in anger and looked at Lisa who was doing the same.
• "I will kill you someday Mia. I was worried about a second," I replied, she is always like this and her eyes are always on some handsome guys or cute boys. In short, she is a lady pervert, but she is sweet. I went to walk away and go eat, but she grabbed my hand and stopped me.
• "No, Sara, he is fucking hot as hell. After looking at him, I realized the meaning of the Greek god, and you will see what I mean. He is fucking hot, his face is enough to make a girl's panties soaking wet." Mia said, and I gave her a boring look to hear the word Greek god. I looked him up and down, totally checking him out for a few seconds, but I couldn't see his face, his back was turned to me.
• "Did you see?" Mia asked, excitedly, but I just shook my head.
• "No I didn't see his face, but I don't care how handsome he is. He is here for work and nothing more." I replied, but Mia made an angry face at me.
• "You're really boring, you know that," Mia said and started to walk away from us.
• "How?" I asked, smiling and making her stop.
• "If you continue like this you're going to end up single and alone," Mia replied, the smile on my face instantly disappearing. Lisa stopped walking, and I could see the anger on her face, while she gritted her teeth at Mia.
• "I am…. I'm sorry Sara, I didn't mean to say that to you, it was just a joke." Mia said, giving me an apologetic look after seeing mine and Lisa's reaction.
• "It's okay, we're friends and I know you don't mean it," I replied, smiling, but my heart was full of sadness, I just wanted to stay alone for some time. I started walking ahead, thinking about food while Mia and Lisa walked behind me when suddenly our boss stopped us.
• "You girls, come here." The boss said, surrounded by men, probably new partners, but we obliged and walked over to him. I looked around, but the man who had his back to me wasn't here, I knew because of the colour of his suit, it was different to the others, and he was a lot taller than the other's.
• Our boss introduced us to everyone, and we shook hands, but I just wanted it to end. I was so hungry that I felt like I was dying, and I just wanted to be alone. It finally ended and Mia and Lisa left, I was about to leave and catch up to them when my boss yet again stopped me. I don't think I'm ever going to be able to eat.
• "Did you meet Mr. Daniel Lautner?" My boss asked, raising his brow at me and I remembered that there was one man missing, but I took another look around, and he was not here.
• “No sir, I did not meet him, maybe he is not here.” I replied, but the boss looked angrily at me. What did I do? It's not my fault if he's not here.
• “Sara, your name has already been ruined in this office and now it's the first day of the CEO’s arrival, if you mess him around then you are going to be in big trouble. You are under me and I do not want you making me look bad.” The boss said to me through gritted teeth and I just nodded my head. I did not want the new CEO to hate me, I already had enough people here hating me, I didn't want to add to it.
• “Go and meet him now!” The boss said, slightly raising his voice and I quickly nodded my head, but before I could ask him where the CEO was he had walked off and left me there. I looked around and saw that I was alone, there was nobody else here, not even Mia and Lisa.
• “Excuse me, can you tell me where i can find the new CEO please?” I asked, spotting another employee.
• “I think he went to that side, but I am not one hundred percent sure, you should just go and check.” He replied, pointing in the direction he thought it was.
• “Thanks.” I said, walking away from him and going to where he was pointing. I walked where he had said, but it only led me to a door which was a store room.
• “What the hell would he be doing in a store room?” I asked myself and looked around. There was no one else here and so I decided it was best not to go in. I was just about to turn around to walk away when I noticed that the door was half open, I stopped and looked at it, but I could not understand what was going on.
• Should I go in there and check it out? If I did not meet the new CEO he's going to think I am rude and I don't want to take that risk, especially after the boss warned me that I didn't want to make any more enemies. I reached up and pushed the door open further, stepping inside, but it was pitch black in here. I wanted to just leave, but I needed to find out if the CEO was in here, so I couldn't.
