Chapter 5 – The Glass Shoe Hint

"Excuse me Sir?" She called his attention as he had been staring at her for quite some time. "Forgive me, I was lost in my thoughts" he took his seat, and he noticed the nails from the cafe shop, as the same from 50 shades. He carefully observed her lips, he remembered every part of her body he felt. He stared at her chest and remembered how he had her nipples in his mouth just the other night. "Excuse me, Sir?" She called out to him again. "Sorry" he said and cleared his throat. "My name is Noah" he said, and he observed her reaction. "Noah?" She repeated. "Yes" he said softly. "You're Noah?" she asked again. "I am Noah" he said, smiling gently, as he felt his instincts were right. "I like your nails by the way. I believe they're called acrylic, are they not?" he quoted her very words. "Yes, they are. Thank you " "With you women, it's always one special name or the other " he quoted their conversation once again, and they both laughed. He looked at her file, barely went through it. He just glanced at her name. "Mia? Mia Prior?" "Yes, that's me" I have just one question for you Mia and I need you to be very honest with me" "Okay Mr. Noah" "No, it's just Noah" "Okay Noah. What's the question?" "Have we met before?" "I don't think we have" she replied abruptly. "Think again, think hard" "I don't think we've met before " He took a long look at her face, he knew that face, he glanced at that face for about 5 seconds in the bathroom before she put her mask back on. "Very well then Mia. I believe we'll get back to you" " Is that it?" "Perhaps there's something else you want to tell me?" "No. I mean, you didn't ask me any question or anything, you barely went through my file" "All the information I needed was in that one question. But like I said earlier, I'll get back to you " They stared at each other like they were trying to read each other's minds, and then she stood up. "Have a good day. Noah" she said and turned to leave. "And you too Miss Prior. I really do like your nails once again" "Thank you. They're acrylic " she said and turned back to look at him once more before walking out the door. Once she was out the door, Noah cleared his table with his hands, sending everything to the floor out of a feeling he could not even explain. He was not angry, neither was he sad, nor happy. But he just had the outburst of a feeling because the woman of his dreams was literally in his front some moments ago. He'd always reminisce on their memories before he slept, and she was here, and he couldn't do anything about it. He calmed himself down and looked at her profile, it looked good, indeed it did. Their standards were higher when it came to other candidates, but this is Mia, miss undisclosed. Mia on the other hand, walked out the door and ran to the bathroom and caught her breath. What had just happened? No way could he remember her, she didn't even tell him her name, nor did she reveal her face. How could he have known it was her? After all these whiles. Then she looked at the nails and remembered she taught him about acrylic. "Damn you" she said talking to her nails, and she went home. The first thing she did was to take off the nails. She messaged Susie asking if Elijah had any other influence outside "The Ark" She, however, did not tell her that they might be chances that she fucked this dude in particular at the orgy. A few days later, there was a call back from Noah's company, she had gotten the job. What? That was crazy. She was in the elevator once again, on her way to Noah's Office and she knocked gently on his door. "Come in" he said, facing his view of course. "Hello Noah" she said, and he turned around to look at her, his smile widening as if he had been waiting for her. "It's nice to have you here Mia" "The pleasure's all mine. Uhm, my proposal was approved and " "Ah yes. Concerning that, there has been a little bit of a change" "Oh. And what is that?" Mia asked, concerned. "Instead of working in the marketing team, you'll be working hand in hand with me, as my PA" “As your PA?" "Mia why is that you repeat everything I say" She chuckled lightly, "Well, when I was younger, I used to study with my dad, and I would repeat everything he said so I could assimilate faster. So sometimes, If I may not fully understand a situation or what someone says, I do repeat after them" "It makes sense now. How is he now?" "Who?" "Your Dad?" Mia bent her slowly in disappointment, and summoned a smile and looked back up, "He's doing just great, thank you" He noticed the slight mood change and didn't want to ask further questions about her dad. “I couldn’t help but notice you had your acrylics removed” he said, almost grinning ear to ear. “Oh, that was uh... uhm... Ehm” “You don’t have to say anything, you know, just a harmless observation” "So, back to the discussion at hand, any questions?" He continued. "I'll be working with you. I guess that's quite simple to understand" "Excellent. You'll be resuming next week, and I'll send you a short brief of some things you should know" "Alright that sounds perfect" she said and stood up, getting ready to leave, he stood up as well and shook hands with her. And he remembered when their hands were interlocked, he remembered her soft hands leading him away from the crowd and into that room, into the bathroom, it all flashed across his memory as she walked out his office and closed the door behind her. He collapsed in his chair and took a deep breath. "What the fuck is really going on?" Mia got out of the office and took deep breaths to calm herself down. Not only did she happen to apply in the company of the man she fucked in a sex party, but she's also going to be his personal assistant, isn’t that going to be one hell of a ride. And the way he kept quoting their conversations from the party, he already knew she was the one and wasn’t going to let go of the matter until she admitted. And she was not ready to admit, until then, he’ll have his fun. Amidst all these, she remembered James, she prayed Noah would be nothing like him, she shuddered at the thought of working closely with men but of course, a lady's got to work. Then she remembered how Noah gave up his will and let her do as she pleased with him, her cheeks flushing gentle red as she recalled the series of events that took place that evening, she went on to get in the elevator and headed home.
