SAY YOU'LL BE MINE

SHANA

I heard that the eldest son of the previous CEO would take over the position of the company. For the past years I was working there, I have not been meeting them in person only the CEO. Even in the party of the company, not even once I attended it.

I was not important that they would notice my absence. It was not compulsory so I was lucky enough not to spend my time buy gowns in every occasion they have.

As I stepped out from the employees' elevator, the CEO elevator suddenly opened. There is man standing inside when I caught my eyes to his face. 

I froze there looking into his eyes. My heart was beating abnormally. It never beats like that to anyone as I saw the man.

I came back to my senses when the elevator closes. I was an idiot when I realized it was the new CEO. I addressed him in my mind as the man, which is inappropriate because no ordinary man or even higher officials of the company can ride that elevator. 'That man is the new CEO, Shana.'

I stepped forward to my office knocking my head through my knuckle. No one was still arrived in my office since it was too early even in my senior accountant office.

I was really stupid I shook my head as I entered my own office. I put down my bag on the desk drawer. I sat down my chair and leaned back to rest for a while. I closed my eyes but the face of that man flashed. I quickly opened my eyes confusing me why it appears all of the sudden.

I got up, go directly to my coffeemaker, which is inside my office. I turned it on; maybe I was still asleep when it happens.

Maybe it was just an illusion that I saw our CEO without greeting him. 

"Yeah, that was it, it was an illusion Shana. It is impossible that he will come this early. Yes, Shana, it was nothing to bother about it. He will not mind you at all." I said to myself loudly, stating that I did not see him and so does he.

My mind went back to normal when I heard my coffee maker ding. I poured it to my cup and turned it off after.

I sat back to my chair when I heard my phone ringtone. I opened my drawer table and unzipped my bag then found my phone's light blinking.

"Hello Shassy" it was Jake Miller. "I do not know how to say this." He said nervously.

I raised my eyebrow. "Say what?" I asked curiously. I got the feeling that it might be bad. I know him since high school.

I heard him sighing on the other line. "Zari left and I could not contact her."

"What do you mean she left? Aren't you in Paris?" I asked, but in my mind I know something is up with my sister."

"I was in Paris with her but she left me a note stated that she needs to settle something." He said. "I am here in NY; we have a show tomorrow night. We already signed that contract if she will not be there to do the modeling we will pay the damage and it is million." He added that I almost dropped my jaw. What is going on with my sister?

"Meet me to my condo after work. I will home early." I said and cut the line.

I tried to call my sister's phone but it was operator's recorded voice.

'The number you dial cannot be reach'

Where the hell are you Zari? I said in my mind.
