"I'm Henry. I'm sure you've heard of me. The biggest shark in town.", He says as he stretches his hand out for a handshake.

"Oh, oh my god it's you. It's such a pleasure to meet you finally. I never thought I'd see a hybrid of a shark and a human and god, I'm thankful I never did, cause it's hurting my eyes looking at one right now.", I say as I sit down on the chair in lawn refusing the handshake offer. God knows how many germs are currently taking shelter in his hands.

The look on his face changes, looks like I hurt the guy's ego.

"Are you okay lil prince? I could get you a tissue but I figure you can just use your not so fancy shimmering scarf." I say with a cute smile.

"It's okay. So let's get down to business. I'm here because I have seen your extraordinary work and I must say they are quite impressive. The statics of the company you've been working for has gone up in a crazy manner. So I would like to offer you a role in my new branch here. I will make you the chief executive officer and we'll provide you with a new house and a car, all at the expenses of the company. You can take time to think about the offer and let me know when you're gonna be ready to join your new office. And remember I'm a guy who doesn't take no for an answer. I must leave now. I have somewhere I have to be. It was nice to meet you. Hope to see you soon, in your new office.", He says lending out his company card and walks away before I can even say something.

I can't believe this is really happening. There must be some catch. This is not happening all out of the blue. Someone's pulling these strings. The only shot I have at finding who and what this while deal is about is by accepting the offer. I will find out whatever it is.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been almost three days now since the weirdo showed up and I haven't called him back yet. I'm gonna surprise him with my arrival at his office without any prior information. And no, I haven't heard from Nat yet. Looks like he's really mad at me, I can deal with Nat later, I'm gonna go do what has to be done right now.

I hear the oven go beep-beep-beep in the kitchen, breakfast's ready. I take the bowl out of the oven and walk towards my room, eating my food.

I grab a black suit and a matching pair of heels, put my hair down and some make up on and I'm all set to go. I book a cab and it arrives just as I'm about to get out of the house. I give the driver the location and look at my phone to see if I've got any texts from Nat, but nope, none at the moment.

I reach at Henry's office after an awful 20 minute drive. It looks like Grey's office from 50 shades of grey but a bit smaller or shorter, whatever. I walk in taking my sun glasses off, with my heels tip-topping as I walk. I see a receptionist as soon as I enter in, she recognises me right away and comes to me with a big smile.

"Good morning, Mr. Henry's office is this way, he's been expecting you since three days, he will be pleased to see you.", She says as she takes me to the lift lobby.

"10th floor, and there will be one of our office staff who's gonna be receiving you. Have a good day ma'am.", She  says with a wide smile and I get into the elevator. It's a glass elevator and I can see all the people rushing around here and there, everyone's busy with their phones with a serious look on their face, I can't see a single person who is actually clam or atleast smiling "naturally", everyone's just fake smiling greeting eachother. This place already looks boring.

The elevator dings and an automated voice goes, "10th floor.", I turn around and see another office staff already waiting for me outside the elevator and she's way taller than me. She looks like a model from Victoria's secret. She's got the perfect shape and damn! She's hot.

"I'm Jane, nice to meet you. Mr. Henry is in his office with some clients, so please take a seat and I'll inform Mr. Henry that you're here.", She says as she walks me to the waiting looby and vanishes. She sounds exactly like the automated voice in the elevator, wonder if it's actually her.

I wait there for almost around ten minutes and as I'm waiting there I look around the lobby and I can see the whole city through those tall glass windows and it looks amazing. I can see the sun light up every building and the faint clouds passing by. This city is grown gorgeous with all the tall buildings beautifying the place. These buildings look like some giant crystals, grown all the way up to the sky.

I then hear Jane call my name and telling me that Henry would like to see me now.

I stand up and walk to into his office and wow, it's fucking huge. I love the space. The open background has the perfect view from here. I see him walking towards me, all excited and happy that I'm here. He hugs me as I walk towards his table. Totally unexpected.

"Uh. Hi", I say as I pull back.

"Oh dear. You have no idea how happy I am that you are finally here. Please take a seat. Make yourself comfortable.", He says as he pulls my chair and allows me to seat in it. He takes off button from his coat and sits on the chair opposite to mine, in the "boss's chair".

"So what made you want to come down here, dear?", He asks me as I take a good look of his office. This building is so much better than the last one I worked for. This is the actual classy office I've always wanted to be in, and now here I am.

"Well, what can I say, I love the architecture of this building.", I fake smile.

"One hell of an office eh.", He chuckles to himself. "So you will the chief executive officer of this branch, your role and your duties are in the file that's in front of you. And did you meet Jane as you got here?"

"Yeah, the tall blonde chick."

"Yeah that's her. She'll introduce you to the rest of the team and you have nothing to worry about, the people in here are very friendly and you'll be able to connect with them easily."

"I'm not worried about that. Perhaps it's not me who should be worried though.", I say with a smirk.

"Very well. We have high hopes from you. And you can go sign up the official documents, taking up the post. ", He says looking down at his watch.

"Yeah sure."

Jane walks in and walks me out.

As I'm almost past the door Henry comes from the behind and places his palm on my shoulder.

"I almost forgot. You still gotta see where you're gonna be living from now. I'm sure you're gonna love it.", He says with an enthusiastic tone and turns to Jane.

"How long is it gonna take to finish up the official document stuff?"

"About 5 minutes sir.", She says taking the file from off the other office staff.

"Okay. We're gonna go out now, I'm sure you can do it once she comes back."

"But sir, we have a meeting with Mr. Mich....", Henry cuts her short before she can finish.

"Reschedule it!", He says in a commanding tone.

"Shall we.?", He asks turning towards me.

"Yup sure."

We walk to the elevator. Henry is undeniably hot. I didn't get to look at him the day he showed up at my house, but now seeing him this close in the elevator, I realise it. His grey eyes shine to the sun's rays, his skin is flawless and oh my god, his jaw line is so sharp, like it could just slit my throat. His hair is perfectly combed and looks like chocolate. His voice is so deep. He's just perfect. He's probably like ten years older than me and married and is got kids too, but takes no tax to admire him. And also beauty not admired is a sin.
