Chapter: 03

.

Fifteen o'clock was the exact time my cell phone displayed on the screen. I stood up, grabbed the file and headed for the door. No sooner had I opened the door than I saw my secretary coming straight towards me.

Sir," she began, "I've just come into your office. The meeting's all set, we're just waiting for you.

Yes, I've already come, let's go.

I followed her into the meeting room. When we arrived, everyone had stood up to greet me. I waved and took my seat. I'd better be quick, because I had an appointment with my dearest darling, whose name I didn't even know.

I hope you've all had time to read the file?

Yes," they replied.

And what do you think?

___ In my noble opinion, I think we should do what's necessary to get this deal, it's a very good deal that will benefit us all, I'll take care of the quotation as it should be, I'll do what's necessary to find out the cost of the others so as not to be surprised by their quotations.

I fully agree, Mr Accountant, I hope you'll stand by him as you should?

Yes sir, you can count on me. I'll do exactly as I always do.

That's a very good initiative. After studying the plan, I can reassure you that this job would require quite a lot of work. But I'm counting on you bitterly.

We're glad to hear it.

We spent a few more minutes discussing the file before each of us returned to our desks to continue studying it.

I quickly put the file in my bag, switched off my laptop and left my office.

Sir, you're back already?" asked my secretary.

Yes, I've got a very, very urgent appointment, and I won't be back today, so make sure you keep an eye on things until tomorrow.

Trust me, sir.

I smiled at her and left. I went straight home first, had a good bath and changed my jacket. The perfume I'd put on gave off a very nice scent. When I'd finished, I got in my car and drove to the meeting place, where, thank God, she was already waiting for me in the von. Once I reached her, I parked my car, got out and opened the door.

Please, Miss.

She was dressed in a gown that showed off her strength a thousand times over and made me lose my breath.

She was a beautiful woman, with curves that drew every eye. Her curves were generous and harmonious, highlighting her voluptuous figure. Her slightly rounded hips gave her a sensual allure.

Her dazzling smile lit up her face, bringing out her luscious lips, which seemed irresistible. Her deep-blue eyes sparkled with a mysterious gleam, captivating anyone who met her gaze.

Her dark hair, cascading over her shoulders, added a touch of mystery to her bewitching charm. She moved with a graceful, confident gait, drawing every eye in her path.

Every movement she made was imbued with a seductive yet elegant allure. Her presence was so remarkable that she left an imprint on the memories of those who crossed her path.

She got into the car and sat down. I rushed out, got in the car and left the von, heading straight for a classy restaurant.

___ If you don't mind my saying so, you look very beautiful tonight. If we were in the evening, your beauty might light up the whole planet earth it's not labels but rather reality.

___ Thank you very much, where were we going?

To a restaurant that you yourself will love. Unless you don't like public places.

No, that's not a problem. Why not accept?

It's often said that the woman comes first.

I didn't know that, and now you're saying it.

It's a fact of life.

___ You know, that phrase you always hear from pickup artists, when they find what they want, that's it. It's really hard to trust a man these days.

I know, I'm a man and it's my duty to understand you perfectly. Anything goes today, but you should also know that it's the same for women.

Yes, of course.

Suddenly, I stopped in front of a large restaurant, just up the road it said "le mirador". I stopped the car and got out. She was really quick this time, opening the car door herself. Maybe she didn't want to.

After you.

When she entered the restaurant, all eyes turned to her. Conversations froze, murmurs faded. The beautiful woman aroused an admiring silence among the diners.

Some stared openly at her, unable to look away. Wide eyes and half-open mouths testified to the effect she was having. Whispers rose up from the tables, everyone commenting on her striking beauty.

The waiters, too, were under her spell. Their gestures became more hesitant, their steps slower, as they attended to other customers while keeping a discreet eye on her.

As for the beautiful woman, she seemed oblivious to the attention she was attracting. She remained natural and smiling, chatting with her table companions as if nothing had happened. Her calm and ease added to her captivating charm.

Glances crossed and turned away shyly, each trying to capture the attention of this remarkable woman once again. Some dared to send her knowing smiles, hoping for an answer that might never come.

I looked at the people watching her as if awaiting her arrival, and rushed to pull out a chair for her to sit on.

Thank you very much.

I pulled up a chair and took a seat as well.

Why is everyone looking at you like that?

It's like this, people stare at me no matter where I am.

I was right in saying that she was really beautiful and that her shape really pissed me off.

What'll you have?" I asked.

Not much, just fifa water.

Is that all?

Yes. Maybe you were going to get me excited about taking more, but for now that's all I'd like to take.

All right.

I waved to the waiters. Among the waiters, there was one in particular who was completely speechless when he saw her. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped, unable to utter a word. He was frozen in place, completely hypnotized by her presence.

The other waiters quickly noticed his stupor and tried to shake him out of his torpor. They shook him gently, whispered encouragement to him to regain his composure. But nothing helped - he was completely under the spell of the beautiful woman.

Customers were getting impatient, waiting for their orders to arrive. Some glanced at the speechless waiter, not understanding his strange behavior.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the waiter found his words. He approached us and apologized.

But even after recovering his voice, the waiter continued to cast furtive glances at the beautiful woman. He was clearly under her spell and secretly hoped to be able to offer her outstanding service.

Serve us two cans of fifa.

He turned around and a few minutes later returned with two cans of fifa.

___ Anything to eat?

I'll let you know when I'm ready to eat something.

___ Why do you want to take exactly the same things as me?

___ If you don't eat, I won't eat.

She smiles.

Waiter, we'll let you know.

___ Understood, sir.

He turned and left us both. He never ceased to amaze me: instead of serving us, here he was, comptemplating such beauty.
