If Only

Third Person P.O.V.

"Sir if we get this deal it could be next level, imagine going into publishing. Sure the guys an ass bowl but we work with guys like him all the time"

"It could be next level, but I am not a part of your company. So if we don't get this deal my father will be pissed and I am in place for him today. No matter how big of an ass this guy may be this is what my father wants"

Nate never worked for his father, he built up his own company at a young age in spite. His father, Leonardo Crawford, always wanted him to take over but Nate decided to stray from his destined path and leave that to Niccolo, his brother. His father and brother were on business and had been working on this deal for months but got stuck in Sicily.

"Just do whatever you must to get this deal sir" Nate sighed and walked farther down the hall to a conference room with frosted windows. Opening the glass door he stepped inside as a man directed him to a seat

He sat down and as he looked up, there she was, Tesoro. Her hair was perfectly curled as her dough brown eyes darted to his just as surprised

It had been 4 weeks and still this one girl lingered in his mind. The feeling of her soft brown locks and captivating dark eyes. Her touch was soft and smooth. He wondered who she was, but you can only do so much with just a first name. She was absolutely beautiful. Harrison, sat at the head of the table clearing his throat taking both their attention away

"Mr.Crawford, sorry to hear about your fathers travel issues. We thank you for stepping in, taking the time out of your day. I am Harrington Bartlett"

"Mr.Bartlett nice to meet you. I apologize for my fathers absence, the people at my company can survive one day without me hopefully." His voice was husk causing her core to tense

What Charlotte had been informed about this meeting was that they were investors trying to make a deal. She was instructed to sit in and listen during the meeting taking notes just like everyone else.

"But it's nice to meet you" his gaze stuck in Charlotte "I feel like I've met you before. As if you were on my-"

"It's nice to meet you to Mr.Crawford, shall we begin" she quickly piped in before losing control

She was not feeling her best today but she kept herself together for the sake of her father not being any more gruesome towards her.

As the meeting went on and they talked. Nate couldn't keep his eyes off Charlotte while her eyes went back and forth between him and her father. He still did not know much about Charlotte, just that she worked there, he figured she was his assistant due to taking notes.

She tried to avoid his lingering stares. Nathaniel Crawford, entrepreneur and businessman. She's read about him on wall street a few times. He's a self made billionaire, he refused to work for his father which confused her on why he's stepping in for him. His father had two other children, she didn't understand why it would be him stepping in.

The three hour meeting came and went. But the states stuck, it was like she was some type of attraction. He couldn't help but stare at her while she did everything in her power not to look at him.

"And that concludes the meeting, I will be in touch with your father on what we decide Mr.Crawford" he nodded standing up

The suit he wore fit perfectly and Charlotte couldn't help but notice. She squeezed her legs together as she thought back to that night. He looked so handsome in the suit. His skin was smooth and his hair looked soft just as before she just kept her eyes on him
