At exactly 10: 45 Michael left the hobby and took the elevator to the top floor.
Leaving the elevator there was a board card detailing the various sections of the floor, so he had no issue finding the CEO's office.
Entering the hallway he approached the front desk.
Clearly not surprised at his arrival, Rose looked up at Michael.
Standing at 6 feet 2 he had a certain imposing physique that made him appear far bigger, larger, like a giant.
A man of large presence.
Sitted lower on her seat though not because of it , Rose felt so.
Unlike earlier in the cafeteria with just a shirt he now wore a black suit on top, as usual dashing and appearing more formal
Unlike earlier though the upper most of his shirt was now unbottoned but it wasn't enough to reveal much.
But with the breadth of his chest, it hotly just stimulated an appeal.
Making one want to open more, not her though.
How many could rock a long hair, with such suaveness and masculinity.
Rare sun like pupils.
A man of impeccable features. A literal Adonis.
Extremely handsome.
She wasn't a fan of handsome men, lesser of this one.
Not even letting him talk, the always professional Rose deviated from her usual spectrum.
Saying in a subtly cold nigh mechanical tone, " You must be Mr Sun, please, Mrs Grey is expecting you "
Different from the warm courtesy polite tone, to be due a guest.
After breakfast Michael had brushed his teeth in the restroom, and retrieved his suit from the car.
Before waiting in the lobby, then now.
About to greet the secretary and introduce himself, revealing his appointment, he was already ushered in.
Michael could sense a bit of coldness and dislike from this lady but let go, not putting it to mind.
Smiling still in response, he proceeded across the hallway to Rhea's office door and knocked.
.....
Rhea was already aware of Michael's arrival, having received a call from Rose.
Dropping a file on her desk, she took another certain one and glanced through.
She had glanced through the file a few times today.
Hearing a knock at the door she responded, " Come in "
Raising her head from the file she looked at the visitor, from the sole of his feet to the top, gazing on as he made his way in, and to her front.
Relaxing backwards on her sit, the few seconds he took to reach her from the door felt like a strangly long short moment.
Stretching a strong hand, he said a cool baritone voice.
" Michael Sun, nice to meet you Mrs Grey"
Her face expressionless Rhea took the hand and shook it.
Throughout her gaze not leaving the man, yet she could see he was composed not fretting under the long stare.
Smiling back at intervals, yet clearly not out of silence but one she could discern as a calculated move to ease the atmosphere.
" You can have your seat "
Michael followed her gaze away from the seat in front of her desk, to a less formal yet not too casual one a bit distanced from the desk.
Feeling a craving to drink coffee again, Rhea stood up and asked the visitor, " Would you care for anything coffee or drink ?
Michael raised his head, his eyes locking with Rhea's .
Searching to discern if she meant it, before responding, " Coffee would be fine Ma ".
Rhea had just asked casually, but she also wouldn't take it person if he responded that he did.
About to go to the kitchen section, she turned and asked, " How do you like your coffee "
....
Few minutes after Rhea sat down in silence in another chair in front of Michael.
Her legs crossed elegantly with a file in one hand and a pen in another, the short table in front of them with two coffee mugs and her brows furrowed in concentration.
A silence between them, for another this silence and tension could have unsettling.
Michael had this guess that the file in her hand was his.
He wasn't unsettled though, taking the moment to sweep short and not inappropriate or too snopping glances at the office and the person in front of him.
The office was extremely luxurious but not overly flashy, wide glass windows that showed the heart of the Laen city and the down entrance of the Grey cooperation.
A very powerful woman, a very beautiful woman.
Dressed in grey skirt, and a white shirt, long black hair and beautiful grey eyes, rose red lips, an attractive figure and an impeccable face.
Michael could assume that her suitors stretched from one end of the Laen City to the other.
Few minutes into the still silence, he toke the coffee mug laced in front of him and drank.
Sweet, he found it sweet and good, thinking to himself, coffee by the CEO, did she make it for others.
Chuckling quite silently and shortly at this naughty thought.
Rhea was reading up the file she had read several times again with Michael in front of her.
The truth was that the interview had already started from the very beginning.
She was a very smart woman, if a person had qualifications what should checked.
He/she's character, He/she's personality, He/she's psychology. It sounded weird but it was true.
Her eyes fixed on the file, her attention was still placed on him, his sweeping glances she was aware, but showed no clue.
Just making observations.
But when she heard his chuckle she asked directly, " What's the reason for the chuckle Mr Sun "
Hearing this Michael placed the coffee mug on the table and stared at the woman in front of him, before briefly saying.
" Oh, I thought the coffee was good, sweet, and just playfully wondered if the CEO made coffee for others too "
Rhea looked at him for few while, saying nothing on his response, before drawing her attention back to the file.
But adding something else to her profile of him in her mind, " a naughty man ".
Jumbling through the umptennth time, she placed it down, checking her wristwatch before asking, saying
" Let's go for lunch Mr Sun ".
