The Office Blind Date Ch 1 Novels & Stories

He glanced down and saw a reminder: Blind Date: 10:00 AM | Elite Matchmaking – Reserved Private Room at Atelier Lounge. He almost laughed. Oh, right. That. His aunt’s idea. She thought he needed to "settle down." He had half a mind to blow it off, but now? Maybe it was a useful excuse. He dialed a number. "Jax. Yeah. Tail Faye. She’s going on some date. I want to know where, with who, what they’re drinking, and how much time it takes before I blow it the fuck up."

Not yet understanding what kind of woman was watching me. I understood now. "Book Thursday at two," I said. "Here. This building. This office." Chloe looked at me for just a moment. She understood what I meant by this office. She had been with me when I walked in on my first morning, set my bag on the desk that used to be someone else's, and did not explain myself to anyone. She had watched the nameplate get changed that same afternoon. "Don't tell her which office until she arrives," I added.

Enora: My fingers ran across the keyboard. It felt like ages since I was back in the office. For the first few minutes, I simply sat and stared at the screen as a flurry of emails came in. It was like I had gone blank and the events of the last few days finally caught up to me. This was it. I was actually dating the owner of my company. I had read the handbook when I was employed and office place romance was banned. But I mean, I wasn’t in direct violation if we didn’t…

I bow, turning away and I start to walk to my office. I can sense him following close behind and the moment I round the corner, he grabs me by the upper arm and leads me into his office. He closes the door behind us, releasing my arm and he walks behind his desk. His eyes gradually wander up my body as he unbuttons his suit jacket and sits in his office chair. He remains silent and I despise the silent game. I take out my work phone, open up my email and check his schedule for the day. "You have a meeting at 10 am with the gala organisation, another appointment at -"

I remember to exchange phone numbers with him, if any of us should get hold up by something for Friday's date. Friday rolls in with the sun shining brightly in the October sky. There is a chill in the air but that is nothing a nice, warm coat can’t handle. The bus was a few minutes early. I didn’t have to sit next to the smelly man that gives my legs hungry stares. And I’m going on a date tonight! My mood is on an all time high as I stroll into the office.

I sat down on the sofa and finished the coffee I had made to take outside, letting my mind slip back to when Callan touched me before, the way he held me as his lips pressed against mine. “I’ve got it bad.” I sighed. I had never intended to date anyone for a while after Marcus, and here I was falling madly in love. I grab my bag and head back out, taking my time with the stairs. I was hoping to run into Callan in the hallway or the garage, but it seems luck is not with me today. “You’re an early bird this morning,” Micha cheerfully said as he walked into the office. I had been here for half an hour already, a few of the others had collected things they needed and headed out. So it was just m

I never imagined him asking me out. Time flew so fast, it's 7 p.m. now. Has Mr. Campbell already finished his work? I start to tidy up my desk, I snatch my coat and keys ready to go for dinner with the boss. Just when I turn around, I bump into his chest. Jesus... My table is located in front of his office door. I don't hear him out from his office. "Sorry, Sir," I blurt. Shit, I don't know that he stand up behind me.

I'm sure she gets away with a lot of things. I sighed, resigned to my fate. "Alright, I'll tell you," "It was love at first sight," I started weaving my take. Mr Alexander had just come out of the closet. His piercing gaze almost made me rethink my decision. "Ah-hem," I cleared my throat as I began my tale, "It was a typical Monday morning at the office, I was heading to the conference room with a stack of files in my hand. I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going then I collided with a figure, I was unaware he was the CEO of the company at that time."

The door closed, I walked down the hallway humming a song with so much excitement written all over my face. “Good morning ma'am.” Rachel said as soon as she saw me from afar. I waved and smiled at her. “Morning, what's it for today?” I asked and as I was about to push the door, I saw the blinds of the office down. “Why are the blinds down?” I questioned then pushed the door but didn't enter. “The chairman is waiting for you ma'am, I'm sorry I couldn't tell him to leave.” She said, looking down at her feet.

Rainee replied, waving her hand dismissively, though her tone lacked bite. Jessica ignored her attitude and carried on as if she hadn’t heard it. “He has a day shift, so he’ll pick you up at 8:00 p.m. from your office. I gave him your number, and he’ll contact you tomorrow. Be good to him, Rainee. He’s a doctor, a good man.” Rainee nodded like a puppet while sipping her water. She didn’t have the energy to argue, and honestly, she had completely forgotten about the blind date until now. But blind date wasn't the problem, the problem was Alex's feelings towards her.
