Enchanted

CHAPTER 10

Belle's POV :

It was Monday. Ughh.

After spending my weekend talking with my parents and trying to decipher what Mr.Agnello was implying, I realised that I was not going to get any answers. The only thing I was sure of getting was hair loss from pulling at them so much. One good thing that came out of this weekend was that, I found a great place just 15 mins walk from the office, so I moved out on Sunday. Getting up, I took a shower, thoroughly cleansing myself, as I had not bathed the day before.

Ahem.

I dressed myself in a white shirt, with a black blazer and trousers and flats. Walking down the street, I enjoyed the weather. The sun was high in the sky, with a gust of wind, once a while. There were leaves adorning the road. Fall was approaching, a slight chill in the air. Wrapping my blazer tightly around my torso, I visited starbucks, just around the corner of my office. Ordering a latte, I took it and went towards the company, ready to start another day.

I was sitting, in my cubicle, doing my usual editing work , when Mr. Hannigan, walked in.

" Good morning, Belle."

" Morning, Mr.Hannigan. Is there anything you need ?" I asked.

" Yes, actually. I need you to clear your desk by noon. The 50th floor is about to be re- modeled from today so some occupants will be joining us on our floor. I hope you don't mind sharing your work space with me", Mr. Hannigan explained.

"Of course not, sir. I'll wrap up everything before lunch.", I replied.

"That will be great. Thanks", he smiled.

"No problem."

Going back to my work, I completed the required editing before I started on my desk. There wasn't much to clear out. Just some work files, my pen cup holder, and a photo frame of me and my parents. Quickly clearing everything up , I settled down in the place Mr.Hannigan assigned me, which was a table set in the corner of his large room. As long as Mr.Hannigan was going to be occupant of this office, I had no issue whatsoever. Working with him for these days has made me comfortable around him. His 5'8'' height, almost as same as me, makes him much more approachable than a particluar 6'4'' giant.

*cough* Eros *cough*

Soon lunch rolled in, and a lot of people suddenly crowded the floor, carrying their boxes of belongings with them. Thankfully, no one occupied Mr.Hannigan's office.

"Belle, you can go have lunch now. I'll call you if there is anything to be done", Mr. Hannigan told me.

" Sure, sir", I replied. He nodded.

Taking my lunch with me, I joined Eliza in the cafeteria. Today, it was carbonara. Finishing my homemade sandwich and enjoying her husband's yet another delicacy, I was finally done.

"My stomach is bloated, Eliza. I think I may roll to my office", I huffed.

"Oh, hush. Children these days don't eat at all, they want to be as thin as a telephone pole", she muttered.

"I swear, Eliza, you are worst than my mother in these things", I laughed.

Slowly walking back towards the office, I was humming softly under my breath, when I saw someone blocking the office door. By someone I mean a 6'4'' giant. I immediately stopped in my tracks.

Eros freaking Agnello !!!

What was he doing here ?

Oh don't tell me, even his office is going to be re- modeled ?

I hope he's just here to talk with Mr.Hannigan.
