Killian's POV
" What is it about me that you find so intriguing? " She asked with a small blush on her face.
" ... Everything " I replied and she looked down as her blush went all the way up to her ears and she bit her lip. Again I had to look away because that lip bite did strange things to me. After a few moments I was about to say something but she spoke.
" I'm 21 years old, I live alone with Delilah, I work two jobs and ...I don't have any more contact with my family. "
" Why? "
She shrugged " I guess they just had better things to do than to worry about me " I decided not to push the subject any further and changed it.
" Any hobbies? "
" I read and dance.. Pretty obvious by my jobs " She laughed and I smirked. Her laugh was like a melody that she was just singing along to. There was something about her essence that just made me want to be closer. I realized I was staring too long when she moved her hair behind her ear and blushed again as she looked down. I cleared my throat and looked down at my Rolex to see it was already 12:26. I need to go back to the office to get a lot more done.
I stood up and fixed my suit as I pushed the chair back into the table. She stood up as well and held her hands behind her back. I inwardly smirked as her body language told me exactly what she felt about me. If she were to cross her arms in front of her, she would've been uncertain about me or uninterested. But the fact that she opened herself towards me and exposed herself rather than to hide, tells me that she feels safe with my presence.
" Again Brielle, I'm sorry I had to cut our conversation short. I have to get back to work. I hope we get to see each other again.. Under different circumstances " She smiled softly and nodded. It looked as if she wanted to tell me something but she didn't say anything. I nodded my head at her and I could tell she really wanted to say something by the way she fidgeted. I turned away and walked towards the door. Not even 5 seconds past before my assumption was correct and she spoke.
" You can have my number.. Only if you want it " I turned to her and smirked as she looked down and rocked back and forth. I walked over to her as she continued to ramble adorably.
" I-I mean i-if you don't want it that's fine too. I just thought maybe if you d-did want to meet again y-you could call me.. or not it's fine either wa- " She stopped as I took out my jet black iPhone plus and held it out for her. She looked up at me and took the phone slowly as her blush never refused to leave her face. I put my hands into my pocket as she put her number into my phone. She held it back to me timidly and I put it back in my pocket.
It seemed that I got a little closer than I intended because she was less than a foot away from me. I stared into her eyes as I could see her pupils dilate slightly. I already knew mine were dilated but they were not at their fullest potential just yet. Before things started to get out of hand I spoke up.
" I'll see you later darling " She shook herself from her trance and took a small step back.
" Ok.. Bye Killian " Just by the way my name rolled of her tongue made me feel a very unfamiliar feeling. I turned and walked away before I did anything I would regret later. I saw Delilah and the old man sitting at the front desk and she waved goodbye to me happily.
" Buh-bye Killy!! "
" Goodbye sweetie " I smiled and she turned back to the coloring book. As I walked towards the door I could feel the eyes of the man lingering on me. I looked back at him for a second before leaving the library. Right in the front was George who was waiting patiently. He saw me and hopped out the car to open the door for me. I sat in the back and he went back to the front.
" You know where to go, George. " He nodded his head and pulled off. I opened my phone and scrolled through the many contacts to see Brielle's number. She had just saved it as Brielle and I contemplated on whether or not to text or call her to give her my number. I decided not to as that would be too obvious that I was very interested in her. I went through my emails while I thought to myself. On a daily basis the amount of emails I get is so many it's frightening. The only person answering them is myself and my secretary, Anna.
Sure we could handle them on our own but I'd much rather spend my time on ways to improve my company, not just answering emails. Since the fall season is now upon us I am going to be out of the country almost 24/7. I can't just bring Anna, that would mean I was bringing 1/3 of my business across the world and that would not be acceptable. I smirked as an idea popped up in my head. I dialled Anna and she picked up on the first ring.
" Hello sir "
" Anna, I need you to tell the press that the CEO of KR Inc.... Is looking for a personal assistant. The interviews will be this Friday so clear my schedule and push it all to Saturday "
" Alright sir and how soon do you want this message to be up? "
" As soon as possible " I said as I already had an idea of who I wanted to be my little personal assistant.
