Hunter’s P. O. V.

———————

“Mr McConnell?” Came a little voice with three light knocks on my office door.

Could be Lily, my financial secretary. Since my replacement secretary was meant to attend the meeting for other reasons than documenting, I decided to call in someone to take the minutes instead.

” Yes come in” I called for her to open the door even though I know she will only open it slightly to deliver her message.

Maybe having sex with her and ignoring her afterwards wasn’t my best move, but she’s alive so no issues.

Like I said, she opened the door only slightly to deliver her message.

” The representatives from Bellevue Resorts are here already, should I refer them to the meeting room?” Her voice merely above a whisper and she ensured she wasn’t making any eye contacts.

” Please do” I told her and she nods while shutting back the door.

I gather the documents on our last meeting and the contract for a new one before getting up and walking out the door.

On my way down it occurred to me that Iris may have not been informed about the meeting yet so I stop by her office.

Since I technically own the place I saw no need to knock.

” The meeting you fixed for me is waiting ”

She was making adjustments to her hair that was already up in a bun, still trying to cover her face up and had a mirror placed on the desk.

” I’ll be there ” She answers without even showing signs that her boss was in the room. “And next time try to knock. Privacy invasion is very rude”

The nerve of this girl.

” What exactly are you doing with your hair? It’s already in a bun and no offense but you’re effortlessly messing it up” I drop the files I had in my hand on her desk.

” Well I’m not particularly comfortable with my entire facials being on view” And she continues adjusting the front hairline.

” No one is here to admire you if that’s what’s bothering you. It’s not like you’re a sight to heed to in the first place ”

She pauses for a moment but then again she continues what she was doing on her hair and speaks.

” I literally live to please no one these days ”

She was wasting my time and she knows I still have meetings afterwards. After an additional seven seconds of wait I gave up on patience.

” Iris put your hair in a straight bun now”

She didn’t listen and still tried whatever she was doing.

I lost my patience five seconds ago and it was beginning to act out. I gripped her both hands and stared her into the eye.

” I. Said. Now” Laying emphasis on my every word, i watched her for a reaction. And I got one.

” But-” She was about to explain and my watch just told me no time for such.

” Now”

When I saw the look of defeat in her eyes, I let her go and she went back to her hair.

Loosening it from the twist behind, she pulls out a hairbrush from her purse and runs it through the hair over five times before taking hold of her hair to tie it up.

” Uhm… Can you turn around?” She blurts out and I look at her in shock.

She wants me to turn around so she can fix her hair? What is this, Romeo and Jules?

” No, and it’s not like you’re naked” I take the seat in front of her table and face her direction.

” Well adjusting anything in front of you with you staring at me like I’ve got a snake nest on my head isn’t quite comfortable ” She states and I actually agree with her.

I’ve been staring at her since I walked in only because she’s proven to be a potential time waster.

” Fine” I swirled the seat around and waited for her to finish.

At last!

I swirl back to view her and it just hits me like I wasn’t even in here before.

Her face now on full view with nothing obstructing it is kinda a more suitable look for her. Her brown eyes and recently brown hair in close comparison to her tanned skin gives her a bronze color appearance and she has on a nude colored silk top.

Like I said before, if I was dumb enough, I would have said she looked beautiful.

But that was when I noticed it. I slim scar running across her hair line. The scar is only obvious if you’re trying to look for it. And that made me realize I was staring at her without saying anything.

” Good ” I got up and walked out of the office with Iris following directly behind me.

I know better than to ask her about the scar.

After a few steps down the hallway we get to the elevator and I see Iris picked up the files I had dropped off on her desk.

I can’t believe I even forgot them.

” Did you go through our previous contracts with Bellevue resorts before this meeting?” I asked her as we stepped into the elevator.

” Yes” Was all she said and went to stand at the far end of the enclosed room.

I really don’t mind the action, so i pressed in for fourth floor and watched the doors close shut.

We just stood there in silence, while the elevator moved at a smooth rate.

“Why did you dye your hair brown?” I asked her after the few seconds of awkward silence ticked by.

” Who are you getting married to?” Was her reply.

And what the hell? How did she know about it? The questions don’t even relate in any form whatsoever.

” That’s not your business ” I replied and watched her for her own reply.

” Same here. Stop asking me questions that you know fully well I will not grant the grace of answering. It’s none of your business ”

As soon as she was done, the elevator opened and revealed the fourth floor with my accountancy department walking helter Skelter around the place.

I was glued to my spot due to her reply that I had no idea when she had stepped out.

” Well, we have a meeting to attend. Don’t be a time waster” Then she skittled off swaying her hips from side to side and got to the double door at the end of the hall.

She didn’t open it, rather she turned around and waited for me. That was when I regained my steps.
