THIRD PERSON'S POV:

Rosette walked to her boss's office corridor silently. She knew the place well, she had passed through the endless maze of corridors and workshops, but had never been to her boss's office.

Her palms were sweaty. She was worried that she might pass Caelum near this area , but she was sure that the person who called her to discuss the errors of the files, was not the high boss himself, I mean Mr. Caelum White would definitely not waste his time on useless subjects as correcting a small mistake or error done by one of his employees ,right?

Being the head of such a big foundation definitely was tiring, but little did our little Rose know that she had stolen his sleep just by spending a diner gathering with him.

She found her way to the big glass door, it wasn't see through. She took in a deep breath and knocked the door twice.

"Come in" Someone from behind the door answered. Rose would have recognized the voice if the tone wasn't so uninviting and cold. If only she had known whose voice it was, she would have turned and ran at the highest speed possible to get away. But she didn't know, she was like a fawn walking into a lion's den.

She clutched the door handle and pushed it open, she was mesmerized by the office.

The floor was of white shining marbles, almost looking like glass, straight ahead was a big semi circular desk, behind it sat a brown leather chair , on the wall were many pictures, some were of the many awards the company had won and some were pictures of big factories, lavish hotels and malls that the company owned.

On the many showcases, sat many artistic paintings and small glass carvings. Rose was mesmerized. The only thing missing was the person who allowed her in.

She turned away from the glass paintings and said in a small voice "Hello sir, I'm here" suddenly scared,

"If you would bother to turn this way Miss" a voice came from the left side of the office.

Rosette almost jumped out of her skin. She hadn't even looked at that side of the office, the office was so huge , it was hard for her to take in all of it together. And while she was busy admiring Caelum 's desk and the beautiful carvings in the glass show pieces, Caelum was enjoying looking at her.

He was so annoyed at first when he saw her enter that he was ready to rain down hell on her. How dare a girl ruin his night's sleep and then appear in his office the next day, But when he saw her round eyes brighten at the sight of the glass paintings and carvings his heart melted .

His eyes scanned she softly. She was wearing a beige colored top with white pencil pants and white medium heels. Her attire was simple yet graceful.

Rosette turned around with a start , Caelum sat there on the sofa. His first two shirt bottoms were undone and is sleeves were folded to his elbow, flexing his arm muscles, the white shirt tight at his biceps and abs, he was wearing a grey pant suite. It was difficult to not to stare, I mean, who could keep their eyes off this kind of hot man.

That's when Rose noticed the height difference.. She was five feet five which was considered a decent height for females but this man was a solid six feet two. He was tall with a muscular torso and not to mention that devastating face.

"Like what you see?" He said getting up and standing with his hands in his pockets ,observing her gaze. She blushed a bright red and said, "You called for me sir." Keeping her head bowed. If she had the ability to disappear into thin air, she would have.

Now all that Rose could wish for was him to have forgotten her face ,It was only last night that they had met ,and now she was standing in his office.

"Miss Carter are you pretending like you don't remember me. It hasn't been that long has it?" He said by taking a step towards her.

"Oh no sir, I do know you, you are our company's president and my Boss....".She couldn't even complete her sentence. He advanced another step towards her and she backed a step, almost tumbling off the carpet.

He grabbed her by the waist and said, "observing your symptoms... you either have amnesia or the memory of a goldfish." She was staring right into those dark blue eyes. Her face was so close to his, his lips only inches away.

Her heart was beating so fast that she was afraid, he would hear it.

She jerked away from his grip, Caelum was enjoying this, the feel of her slender waist, the closeness of her face to his and the panic on her face, he liked it. But the only thing annoying him was the fact that she refused to recognize him. He was super pissed. He didn't have such a forgettable face did he?

Rosette smoothened her hair after stepping back and looked at him as if he was the creator of hell itself.

"If you can't tell me, even after coming from a good business family, Why are you working here?, then I guess I'll have to ask your family your intentions of working here." He said calmly and added,

"I might sue you for trying to sell company information-,"

"I didn't sell anything to anyone, I work here... because I want to do something myself .." she couldn't look him in the eyes, she could never look at anyone in the eyes while lying.

She worked there because she was collecting money every month and send half the money to her sister to pay for her daily necessities, her step mom had said that they paying for her tuitions were more than enough.

She was afraid that after Belle got her degree, her step mom wont give her any money to settle down in an apartment or start working. Her step mom and Eric never let her work all these years, probably because they would think that she would become too independent and forget who the master of the house was.

She had made excuses that she was with Belle coaching her for her finals.

Caelum looked at her face, he had no idea what to say, it was written so clearly on her face that she was lying, but there was something else there something so painful, that it hurt to look.

He cleared his throat, "Do you know how obvious it is by your face that you are lying?"

Rose eyes shot up, she evened her face "Why would I lie about anything? What's wrong with a woman trying to be independent?" The last word almost hurt to say aloud.

Caelum shook his head lightly and walking to his desk. He sat on his leather chair and rested both his legs on the table top. "fine then I'll call your family to inform them-,"

"Please don't" her voice was little more than a whisper, Caelum raised an eyebrow, "why not?"

Rose sank to her knees and said "Please don't inform anyone from my family,.. I would do anything you ask me to, just don't inform them."

Caelum could sense there was something serious, he saw the glassy look in her eyes. There was silence in the room for one awkward minute

"Anything?" he repeated while getting up from the sofa and walking across to where Rose was kneeling down.

Rose didn't look up from the floor, but nodded. He leaned downwards and picked up her chin looking straight into her soft hazel eyes, a playful smirk playing on the corner of his lips, "What is that you can offer me Miss Carter?"
