CHAPTER THREE_Mr Blackwood

"c'mon man,be for real"

oliver let out another doze of laughter

"you gat to be kidding"

"how isn't it so obvious that old man is playing on you bro"

"I don't know what to do honestly" Ethan muttered

They were at the club,the usual spot where they chill out on most nights

unlike Ethan ,Oliver was a complete psycho when it comes to women ,,

He could literally f**k any living female creature if given a chance

changing women were like his hobby

that's why he enjoys his clubbing time the more.

But Ethan on the other hand lost his interest in women. after a one night stand he had ,he couldn't stop thinking about her,he wanted her.

and till now , moving on from it was a bit tasking for him,

He thought about the red haired woman every single day of his life ,

.he was a coward he admit,he shouldn't have left her , without a single word .

But he searched for her afterwards,

He went back to the city multiple times, Even going back to the club and checking the CCTV 's of the hotel ,just to know see her clearly. but all was to no avail .

but he still can't turn back the hands of time

and ever since Ethan became very less interested in women

He prefers having his time alone drinking .

"look dude I know Reina is not an option,but I can just get any other bitch pay her to marry you and after some time divorce her,as simple as that man,it's no biggie" Oliver chuckled

Ethan started at him in shock ,he. couldn't believe his friend had the audacity to suggest such rubbish to him,who does he think he is

"Oliver I think we should call it a night"

he signaled for the bar man to come over and proceed to pay their bills .

"c'mon,why are you mad?"

he asked as he saw his friend angry

"okay cool,I'm sorry alright,Mr bachelor" he teased as he burst into a full blown laughter

Ethan let out a low hiss and walked out of the club in anger .

**********

Elena stood in front of her dressing mirror drying her curly hair ,as she hummed a song

She. wore a knee length black gown ,with a slit at the back .

The dress outlined the shape of her curve.

just then a knock came on her door,with her mother popping her head inside her room

"Eli dear you should come downstairs,I made breakfast early for you"

her mother said.

"mum u shouldn't have gone through all this stress for me "

she said as she walked towards the door to open it wider ,for Celine to come in,

but Celine still stood outside anyways

"I know,I just don't like it when I skip breakfast you know,and it's your first day at work,I don't want you to starve,I would be a bad mother if i let that" Celine laments

which made Elina chuckled

"okay fine mom I'll be down in a minute"

she said going back to the mirror to continue with her hair.

Elena quickly dry her hair ,letting it fall down, she prefers it when her hair is let down consideration the fact that she has a red head and she's proud of it.

she went down to join her family for dinner,

Eva was not her blabbing self that morning,which was bothering

She started at her daughter for a while who was refusing to touch her cereal

"Eva ,you don't want cereal?". She asked racking her brain for what could possibly make her daughter Moody

"mummy don't go"Eva pouted

"No honey, mummy have to go ,I promise I'll be back before you know it okay?"

"okay"

Eva said in a low tone as she watch her mother walk through the doctor

Elena's booked a ride to her place of work,she was having a good energy and don't want anyone to ruin it.

She got to The BLACKWOOD HOLDINGS in less than 30 minutes and headed to the receptionist

" Hello"

she smiled at the blonde haired girl

" hello miss,nice to meet you again". she said

"Mr Oliver requested for you ,you should head to his office" she said with as smile as she went back to working on her computer

"Thank you "Elena thanked her

she made her way to the Elevator, pressed the sixth button and waited as it started moving upwards,

She couldn't believe it was actually working,she got a job ,after two months of searching

The elevator ding , indicating she had reached her destination

As she headed toward Oliver's office,she saw Oliver discussing with a grey headed man ,

He was wearing a grey suit ,his blonde hair was sleek making him look extremely hotter than she last saw him

Elena let out a light cough which made Oliver her

"Miss Elena?"

He said with a smile

"well continue this discussion another time " he said to the grey headed Ma'am, dismissing him

"Good morning, Mr Oliver" Elena greeted

"come with me" he said to her ,as he made his way to his office.

he handed her a blue cover file

"here this are the things you need to do " you will need to arrange his appointments, develop a list of materials for meetings ,make reservations ,manage expenditures record " he took a pause to take a deep look at her

" Hope you know what I mean Elena " he said to her

" yes sir ,I do " she replied

he took his telephone and put a call across to his assistant

"come over to my office " he said and ended the call

"alright Elena that's all,I'll have my assistant take you to the CEO'S office "

" Okay sir , thank you Mr Oliver "

she thanked him

Oliver chuckled

which felt kind of cute to Elena

"it's my job, .....btw call me Oliver"

Elena was surprised but she obeyed anyways

"okay Oliver"

she muttered which sounded a little bit weird

Elena was taken to the CEO'S office by Oliver's assistant

"knock.knock. "

she knocked on his door and waited for a reply

his office was the at the seventh floor of the building

she. lifted her fingers to knock again when she heard a deep voice

"come in"

Her body shivered .

she didn't know why she liked the sound of it.

How would it feel if he whispered naughty things to her in a dark room,with their bodies naked under the sheets.

she shook her head rapidly and turned the knob of the door opened

, entering into the office.

she froze by the mesmerising sure before her

The office was nothing short of magnificent.

it has a floor-to-ceiling glass windows stretched across one side of the room, offering a breathtaking view of Manhattan's skyline.

The walls were dressed in dark walnut panels, while a massive mahogany desk occupied the centre of the spacious room.

Behind it stood a tall leather executive chair, . A few carefully arranged documents, a silver pen holder and a sleek black laptop rested on the desk, leaving no room for unnecessary clutter.

On one side of the room stood a private bar, stocked with expensive bottles, while a collection of framed photographs and prestigious awards adorned the shelves.

Everything about the office was deliberate. From the muted lighting to the expensive Persian rug beneath his desk, it reflected the kind of wealth that didn't need to announce itself.

Elena was dumbstruck,she stood their motionless starting at the man in an all dark attire .

He was wearing a black button down shirt,sleeves rolled up and three buttons undone

she didn't know what she felt but they was something familiar about the man,

she didn't know if it was his blue eyes or dark features.

But there was something in him that drew her to him .
