John shifted uncomfortably in his chair, his eyes darting towards the clock on the wall for what felt like the hundredth time. His foot tapped out a nervous rhythm on the floor, betraying his attempt to appear calm. He clasped and unclasped his hands, his mind racing with worst-case scenarios.
The office was dimly lit, the only sound the soft hum of the air conditioner and the occasional rustle of papers from the receptionist's desk outside. John's anxiety seemed to grow with each passing minute, his senses on high alert as he waited for the boss to call him in.
He glanced around the office, taking in the sterile decor and the faint scent of fresh coffee. Everything seemed normal, yet John's stomach was tied in knots. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but his mind kept wandering back to the reason he was waiting.
The door to the boss's office finally swung open, and a voice called out, "John, the boss will see you now." John's heart skipped a beat as he stood up, smoothing out his clothes and preparing himself for what lay ahead.
As John stepped into the office, he was met with the familiar sight of his CEO, her piercing brown eyes and raven-black hair a stunning contrast to the sterile office decor. The tailored suit accentuated her curves and her hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of night.
For the hundredth time, he felt his composure slip, his mind going blank as he struggled to string together a coherent thought.
The CEO's beauty was a paradox, a blend of icy reserve and smoldering intensity that left John breathless. He'd seen her handle tough negotiations with a calculating precision, her sharp mind and quick wit a force to be reckoned with. But it was moments like these, when she looked up from her papers and noticed him, that John felt his professionalism wavering
"Good morning, John," she said, her voice crisp and controlled. "Take a seat." John's legs seemed to move of their own accord, carrying him to the chair in front of her desk. He sat, trying to shake off the spell, but he couldn't help sneaking another glance at her. The CEO's beauty was a wonder to behold, a reminder that even in the most unexpected places, perfection could exist.
