章 4: Chapter 4
Melody felt her senses leaving her body the moment she heard his voice. It was the most charming and magnetic voice she had ever heard. It was as if he was pulling her to himself only with his voice. She found him sinfully seductive and at the same time dangerous. He was like the flame that can warm you and at the same time, can burn completely.
She felt like his eyes were in there to trap her. He was not even trying yet he did it so well that she felt herself being pulled in. She stood still for a few seconds before his words were registered properly in her head and she hurriedly moved to sit. Not liking the effect he was having on her in their very first meeting.
'What is wrong with you, Melody? He is going to be your boss if you get this job so, get yourself together. She scolded herself. Then she looked at Damian and gave an awkward smile.
Seeing her smile Damian felt content. He felt like he could watch her smile all day without getting tired. He has completely forgotten the fact she was there for an interview. He did not even know what questions to ask her.
He shifted his gaze from her eyes that have managed to put himself in a trance once again and looked into his laptop.
"I need a secretary, and I think you will be good enough for that position. So, what do you say?" he asked hoping she would accept and not insist on the one she came for. He wanted to keep her close and this was one of those ways.
Melody was surprised at his words and offer. When she searched for a job, the was no vacancy for a president's secretary position so how come he needs a secretary? Shaking her head internally she thought, 'Well this is much better and the pay will be worth my time working here.
"If the President thinks so, then I believe I can live up to his expectations". Melody said with a slightly bowed head.
Damian's eyes sparkled at her words. She did not turn him down. That was all he wanted and he got it.
"Well then, congratulations. You got the job". He said smiling like a fool. He knew he did not ask her any job-related questions but he could not help it. When he looked into her amber eyes, she felt familiar. Likes someone he has seen and known a while back but has suddenly forgotten about that person.
Nonetheless, he was drawn to her and he was not willing to fight it. He was ready to let this woman change his whole being as much as she liked and he would not stop her. He knew that doing that would bring a massive change to everything around him and he accepted it the moment he saw her.
Melody looked at him and saw that sparkle in his eyes and started wondering why he was so excited to hear her accept his offer when she was the one gaining more from it.
"Thank you, President Frost". Melody said with a smile once again getting Damian entranced.
Melody waited a little while longer thinking he would say something more but he was silent and just watching her. Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze Melody thought it wise to excuse herself and leave. As if he could read her thoughts he spoke before she could open her mouth.
"You start tomorrow. For now go home and prepare". Damian said. He was not willing to let her go, but he had to.
"Thank you, sir". Melody said and stood on her feet before she excused herself and left the office. She took a deep breath to calm herself. Being around him was quite tough for her to handle. Not knowing why her body reacted to him that way, she cursed herself inwardly. She bit down on her lower lip and exhaled slowly before taking her steps forward towards to elevator.
Damian watched as she left and he immediately started longing for her presence. He was not sure what made him attracted to her but he did not care even a little bit about it. He just wanted to be near her.
He brought out his phone and called Lloyd who answered immediately like he had been expecting that call for a long time now.
"Did she ditch you?" Lloyd asked the very moment he put the phone on his ears. Damian could imagine him grinning as he said that.
Damian shook his head at his annoying words. "Have you made any progress on your assignment?" Damian asked ignoring the question Lloyd asked him.
"Is that why you call? You didn't call for my assistance in getting the girl?" Lloyd asked with mischievousness in his words.
Damian had no time for his ranting so, he cut him short. "Answer my question. Did you or did you not find anything else about her?" He asked.
"Ah.... Calm down bro, don't you think it is a little too soon for you to ask that? It is not up to an hour yet and you are already making a fuss about it". Lloyd said over the phone.
Yes, Damian knew it was a little too early for him to make such an inquiry but he could just not help it. He wanted to know more about her as soon as possible.
"Hurry up with it or I might ask Ezekiel to take it over from you". Damian said and waited to hear what he would say. Knowing he will always have something to say. And as expected Lloyd spoke up immediately.
"Haven't you already put him in charge over me? So, what is the difference if you tell him to take over the search as well? It makes no difference to me". Lloyd whined and Damian gave a knowing smile.
Damian decided to mess with him a little bit more and said in a firm voice. "Alright then, I will call him now to let him know he is in charge of it. You can return to work".
Immediately after he was done talking he heard Lloyd yell from the phone. " Have I become so useless in your eyes? Or is it that you don't trust me? Why do you want to give it to him?"
"You said I could or was it just my thoughts?" Damian asked.
"I never said any such thing. You know what, I am done talking to you". Lloyd said and disconnected the call.
