Entangled

Chapter-29

Xavier Knight

When XDS AUTOTECH was announced as the highest-grossing company of the year two times in a row, I was bombarded with phone calls from close business partners for greetings. I had been attending the calls non-stop and also after being announced as the topmost company of the year, our business partners now wanted to expand their contract tenure with us. Also, many new clients were adding up with us. All this had been keeping me busy.

I was happy being busy, after all, that's what any business person would want from their business. I was proud of my employees, they surely did hard work that's why our company was at the top. I truly appreciate their work.

And I, without any doubt, appreciate my P.A's work. The way she had been handling work and keeping a tab on my schedule was incredible. She not even once committed a single mistake and also I never heard her complaining about being given extra work. She handled all her work with precision.
No single Personal Assistants I had before ever did their work to this precision.

When I ended the video call from one of the business partners, Ariana entered my office.

"Sir, Miss Sarah Park has arrived." She spoke.

I looked up at her. Oh, the interview, I almost forgot about that.

"Is everything set for the interview?" I asked.

"Yes sir, everything is set."

I frowned.

What's the problem with her? Why couldn't she say my name? I knew I was the one who asked her to address me as sir but slip of tongue could happen, right? She could say my name by mistake. I know It sounds weird coming from me but I was longing to hear my name from her mouth. But she didn't speak my name even once.

"Can't you—"(can't you say my name) I wanted to say that but I bit my words. I sighed out loud and ran my fingers through my hair frustratingly. I think I have to wait for her to speak my name. And I'll wait.

"Whatever—" I huffed.

"Have you informed Daniel and Sean," I asked standing up from my chair.

"Yes, I called Scott and asked him to inform them."

"Then let's go." Saying that I walked outside.

As soon as we entered the interview room, Sarah rushed to me.

"Oh, Xavier it's been ages since we met." She said, kissing both of my cheeks. I was caught off guard by her action.

"Xavier, You don't have time for me these days, do you?" She pouted and touched my arm with her hand.

"Sarah, you know I have an empire to run, I barely get time for myself, but don't worry I'll make it up to you," I said taking a step back. She was standing way too close. This is the workplace, I didn't want to give anyone a wrong idea about us. Sarah and I were friends since college. We had a drunken one-night stand in college and that's all. She tried to advance her feelings towards me but I was never interested in relationships. I never slept with her ever again but we remained friends. In fact, I never slept with anyone after her.

"You better make it up to me." She said playfully.

"Sure, now let's start with the interview."

"I came here to take three of your interview but only two are here," Sarah said. I frowned and looked around to see Sean didn't come yet.

"Where's Sean?" I asked Scott because Ariana had asked him to inform Sean.

"Sir, I have already informed Mr. Peterson, he said he'll be here in a minute," Scott replied.
