Chapter Three

"Please," he gestured at Gaby as he motioned for her towards his office and murmured a thank you to the receptionist leaving the receptionist in shock. That would be the first time Seth Williams talked out to his employees politely out of his initiation. She could not even form words as she nodded continuously as the doors of the elevator closed.

'Why can't things be said about Mr Williams in this company,' she lamented to herself. She wished she could such thing with her fellow employees but she really loved her job. She didn't want to get fired. She didn't even want to think about the fact that Seth Williams himself had received Gaby on his own, he could have just let his assistant do it or she could have taken her up to his office. 

"You look shaken, are you alright?" Her fellow receptionist asked her after she went back to their desk seeing how shaken and sweaty she was.

"Uh no, no, I'm alright," her voice was still shaking as well. Seeing that she wasn't going to say anything, the other lady didn't ask again. After all, she also knew the rules of their company; no gossiping.

"Your employees are very professional Mr Williams," on the other hand, Gaby decided to make a small talk to rid off her embarrassing moment. She had never expected that she'll stare at someone like that. It's not she had never dated before, just she realized her ex boyfriends couldn't be compared to even a single hair of Seth Williams.

"We try to keep the atmosphere favourable to everyone inside this building. I'm glad they impressed you," Seth Williams replied in his baritone voice as he looked at the gorgeous woman walking beside him, she could barely reach his shoulders. 'Even her height compliments mine,' he thought to himself.

Even his voice was pleasant to the ears. Gaby could feel her ears tingling and butterflies doing summersaults in her stomach. 'Keep a hold of yourself Ella,' it seemed like her body was out of control but she tried to keep it in. She didn't want to embarrass herself more than she had.

"Yeah, I'm impressed. It's so much different from the news outside,"

"Oh, what have you heard Miss Jones," he was intrigued at her attempt at making a small talk. Many people have always been cautious when talking to him but it seemed like she's a different one, just talking about what she thinks.

"Uh how proud your company is, I thought I'd find it's employees the same as their boss, you know narcissistic and very proud. I'm surprised it's all a lie," Gaby didn't hide what she thought. She was brought up by two men who always taught her to be honest. She was surprised when she heard Seth laugh beside her, even his laugh was beautiful which made her laugh as well. "And your laugh, it's contagious," she said as she looked up at him.

"Really? Thank you. I like how honest you are and there's nothing I can do about what people think of me or my company or employees. They are free to write and report whatever they want in the news. That's their source of income," Seth said as he opened the door to his office and motioned for Gaby to get in first.

"Wow," that's the first word that left Gaby's lips when she saw the interior of Seth's office. It was not your typical billionaire's office with those dark toned colours, black and grey. Seth's office had a very bright blue and white theme making the office look more homy and very comfortable. Except for the black leather office chair and tables, everything else was either blue or white.

"You like it?" Seth asked Gaby after hearing the exclamation from her.

"It feels so comfortable, I love it," she had even forgotten why she was there in the first place. 'Why is this man treating me so gently like I am not here for business. First, he meets me at the elevator and now asking me if I love his office. Am I missing something?' she thought to herself but didn't voice it out.
