Sophia's days fell into a rhythm just as the normal days as Mr. Ethan's personal secretary. She learned to navigate his moods and anticipate his needs. But despite her growing comfort around him.
she couldn't deny the spark of attraction she felt whenever their eyes met or when ever he was so focused on work or trying to explain something to her ... damn his so attractive .
One morning, as she brought him his coffee as usual it was already an early morning routine, their hands touched, sending a jolt of electricity through her body, which gave her this tingling feeling.
Mr. Ethan's eyes locked onto hers then he moved his gaze off swiftly, and for a moment, Sophia felt like she was drowning in their depths , she swallowed hard trying to act like nothing actually Happened but her cheeks were out there to cast her out as it had already turned red .
"Thank you, Sophia," he said, his voice low and husky as he took the coffee quite fast this time cause he noticed Sophia seemed to be acting uneasy ...
Sophia's heart skipped a beat as she pulled her hand back, trying to play it cool. "You're welcome, Ethan , I should get back to what I was doing...just ...now'' she said as she turned with haste ...gosh this is so embarrassing .
As the day went on, Sophia found herself stealing glances at Ethan every now and then trying hard not to make their gaze meet again but she silently prays it does happen, wondering if he felt the same attraction or she was just being stupidly awkward right now .
''whatever" She signed as she pushed the thought aside, focusing on her work , i mean what was she expecting ... a whole Ethan of blackwood fall in love with her ...naaa that way too much for a Normal person of her status though.
But as they worked late on a project which was already a normal habit , the tension between them grew , or perhaps it was just Sophia being unnecessary dramatic .
Sophia felt Ethan's eyes on her, making her skin prickle with awareness ,yeah that's what she wanted , but still she focused her gaze on the project book she was holding trying to play dumb like she doesn't know his eye were about to eat her alive just now .
Suddenly, Ethan stood, his chair scraping against the floor leaving a sound that could jerk a cat up "Let's take a break," he said, walking to the window ,'' woah that new'' Sophia said as she stood up to walk towards the door,Ethan motioned her to join him and admire some view at the window .
she wanted to hesitate and play hard to get but she knew who Ethan was so it was sort of her gain if she joined him it's no big deal ... at least she was still breathing in oxygen the right way through her nose.
Sophia followed, standing beside him as they gazed out at the city bright light and stuff but part of her eye were keenly on mr.ethan but she was good in hiding eye contact so it wasn't that noticeable .
The air was charged with possibility, and Sophia felt her heart racing like she could her it go '' dim , dim ,dim " she wasn't acting normal at all and she knew it in other to ease the tension she said ,
"Beautiful view," she said, trying to sound casual , with every possible sweet voice she had to use .
Ethan turned to her, his eyes burning with intensity and seriousness. "You're beautiful, Sophia," he said, his voice low and seductive , he could even make sleeping beauty wake up without a kiss.
Sophia's heart skipped a beat as she met his gaze, the air between them crackling with tension... '' oh shit , am so doomed ''
