She rushed into the office, almost five minutes late something that never happened.
Her heels clicked too fast on the marble floor,as she made her way into the office her face as red as a tomato,she barely acknowledged greetings from her coworkers , responding with hurried nods and hums.
She reached the office her heart almost jumping out of her chest .
Focus
Just focus
But her mind refused to cooperate,his face kept flashing in her mind
His smirk
His chuckle
His smile
He was like a perfect picture in a portrait
She dropped her bag on the desk and stared at her computer screen unable to move
It felt unreal
The way he said "my soon to be wife"
The way he ate and walked with precision
Everything felt unreal
So unreal
And embarrassing
She'd known his name for months,yet seeing him talking to him made everything look so different, the image of him in her mind had changed completely and drastically.
What was he thinking of her ,she wondered
Would he think she was reckless and not responsible??
She massaged her temples
"Ella you are so reckless how did you end up here " she muttered to herself
She heaved a sigh,her mind was filled up.
She couldn't work,she just kept on thinking.
Then she straightened up as her secretary came in to report the work for the day,no one knew and no one must know.
This was work
She was restless through out the day,her mind filled with his face and everything he did,a man that ruled with silent authority.
And that unsettled her more than she could ever think of.

*Andrew's pov*
From the top floor where his office was he stared across the road to the large building that stood there
Nella's corporation
Probably named after her he guessed
His schedule was tightly packed, with meetings that needed to be attended, documents that needed to be reviewed and signed.
But his mind kept drifting,he couldn't stop thinking
Her delicate face
Her shy expression
Her embarrassed look
His hands went up to touch his face and he realized,he was smiling
"WTF Andrew" he said to himself
This was supposed to be a contract marriage, with no feelings attached
But he couldn't just get his mind off her
At first he rejected the marriage, because he didn't want to marry a spoiled heiress who would be seeking attention everytime and messing everything up
But what he got wasn't anything he expected
She was calm, with inquisitive eyes
Not fragile
Not calculative
She had light makeup on
Just natural,no fake aspect
Just herself
He didn't just expect it ,he loved to control but she looked like one that couldn't be controlled.
He picked up a file but didn't open it
Still thinking
What if she was faking it??
He smirked as he leaned on the big mahogany chair
He'll find out sooner or later.
Two hours later there was a knock on the door
" Come in",his deep voice echoed
The door opened,it was his personal assistant Joe who was almost like a brother,they grew up together but in different worlds
One was the world of affluence while the other was a world where poverty reigned.
"Young master",he bowed "the old master wants to see you"
"I still have work to do tell him I'll come in the evening"
"No young master" ,Joe said again"he said it is very important and needed urgent attention.
"Is he sick" he asked,"no young master" Joe replied
"I'll come later then" he said
"Young master please he said it is very urgent" Joe stated again calmly
Andrew glared at him
Joe swallowed hard ,the air felt chilly
" Go outside I'm coming" Andrew replied
Joe rushed out heaving a sigh of relief
"That was scary",he muttered under his breath .
