Elle Miller.

I bit my lip nervously as my eyes met with Aubrey's. She dated Enzo when they were 14. Cringey but that's the truth.

They soon broke up when she saw Enzo talking to me. More like 'flirting'. I never flirted back but Aubrey put all the blame on me. Honestly I don't care what she thinks about me anymore.

She already made my life a living hell by spreading rumours about me. I thought I got rid of her but here she is again.

"Enzo told me to show you around. Follow me."

She spoke with an attitude.

I followed her anyway.

After the mini tour I realised I had 10 more minutes before the meeting starts. I knocked on Mr William's door.

"Yeah."

"The meeting-"

"We are going to an Italian restaurant for the meeting."

He cut me off. I was surprised at the sudden change of plan but shrugged.

"Alright."

"Let's go then."

I sat in his huge expensive looking car. Oh god, it was so clean and good-looking.

This man is so rich. I felt slightly uncomfortable sitting on the luxurious seat.

"Don't be so stiff."

"O-okay."

Shit, why did I stutter? I made myself comfortable in the car as we took off.

We reached the restaurant in a few minutes. As soon as we walked in Mr William talked to the receptionist about their already booked table.

My eyes widened in realisation that I was supposed to book the table for us. I guess it slipped from my mind.

"Be careful Miss Miller."

He whispered in my ear giving me a small yet lowkey playful glare. I whispered a small apology.

I felt slightly embarrassed about it though.

I sat next to Mr William waiting for our guests.

"I am really sorry about it Mr William, I'll make sure i don't repeat such a mistake."

I apologized sincerely.

"Alright I put my trust in you."

I could sense the genuineness in his voice. I am glad he forgave me.

"Excuse me? Mr William?"

"Oh yes Please have a seat!"

Mr William carefully greeted the guest in pure Italian. They talked Italian for a few minutes then they started talking about the main stuff in English as I sent orders for lunch.

Simultaneously I took all the important notes. They too asked me questions and I answered them with confidence.

This was my second meeting and I was already slaying it. Satisfaction filled my heart. After the meeting ended we stood up and wrapped it up for today.

"Oh and Elle I like that confidence!"

The Italian said with a chuckle. I smiled brightly at him and shook hands with him as we bid our goodbyes.

Then I sat in the car next to Mr William in the passenger seat.

"That was pretty hot."

I heard him mutter. I frowned. Is he serious?

"Um?"

"Huh? Oh nothing.."

He answered with a small voice. Stupid.

6pm.

It was the end of the day now. I knocked on Mr William's door again letting him know about my departure.

"Yes come in."

I was exhausted from the work. I wasn't so used to traveling and walking so much.

"I'll be heading home now. Good night sir."

I smiled lightly. He looked at me about  to say something but shut his mouth.

I left.

10pm

I was preparing myself for bed and waiting for my mother's video call. I heard my phone rang. It wasn't a video call but an audio. I picked it up thinking it would be mom.

"Helloww~~~ hehe."

I yawned and chuckled as i spoke.

"Hello? Is this Elle Miller?"

I went stun for a while. It took me moments process that this was my boss speaking.

"U-um yes sir. It's me, Elle."

"Oh hey I didn't recognise your voice for a second.."

He spoke casually, as if he was mocking me. He didn't sound so stern and bossy though. I guess he is home as well.

"How was your first day ?"

I blinked my eyes suddenly feeling warm. He is caring.

"It was really well. I enjoyed working."

I answered his question genuinely.

"Did Aubrey show you around today?"

I paused for a moment. Only one thought in mind 'was he still dating Aubrey?' The thought made my legs weak but I shook it off.

"Yes sir. She did."

"Drop the honorifics Elle."

A blush crept up my cheeks when he said my name. The effect he has on me, it's crazy.

"Okay Enzo."

I answered in small voice. I bet he couldn't even hear me properly.

"I guess you are tired. Well, we'll meet in the morning huh?"

"Yes of course."

"Good night Elle."

"Night Enzo."

I said loud and clear then we cut the call. Saying his name this way made me feel things. He was my boss but at the same time my old crush. I have mixed feelings about this.
