Encountering A Stranger

Weeks passed by continuously and it's surprising how quick the clock actually runs.

Anxi had been a lot busy throughout that week. After that day at work, Xander didn't show up the next day.

It's been weeks and yet, there wasn't any sign of him which left her really worried for the past few days.

She had to cancel so many meetings and helped Andrey look into some files since he was mostly occupied.

Mya has equally been very supportive and they managed to keep everything stable, as well as controlling the rest of the staff.

Anxi finally realized how difficult the company was without Xander around to aid them.

She already spoke to Xandria who explained to her that Xander actually fell sick, which had left her taken aback by the news, he didn't look sick after they closed from work.

He even suggested dropping her home so she had been constantly worried about him and his health.

Luckily it's Friday today so she has free time. She'll pay him a visit at least and see how he's doing. If he's getting better or not, she doesn't want to look like a heartless secretary so that will be good.

Anxi was on her way back home and was completely lost while her thoughts carried on about Xander, her baby face creased into a state of worry.

She was about to cross the street but didn't notice a fellow on a power bike riding her way, the sound of its roaring engine finally grasped her attention and when she turned to see what it was….

Her eyes widened in fear, seeing the powerbike head her way and it seemed her feet and body stopped moving at the sight. Almost like she had gone numb as her brain went off.

She panicked and closed her eyes since her legs refused to cooperate, scared she might get hit but at the same, waited for the hit to take over her.

The fellow on a bike noticed her on time and made a quick turn before she could get hit. Stopping his bike after successfully making a U turn without hurting her.

Anxi slowly tore her hand from her eyes, realizing she hadn't felt any pain yet and the world hadn't gone dark.

She raised her small head up, checking herself and feeling grateful she was still alive and not hurt, her eyes diverted to the stranger who perfectly parked his bike at a corner and she ran to his side.

"Sorry sir, are you okay?" She asked and watched as the stranger slowly removed his helmet, the face that came in view left her in awe as he turned to meet her dumbstruck gaze.

"I should be asking you." He spoke in a neutral tone as he put his helmet away, Anxi immediately forgot to speak as his charming face was what her eyes were fixated on.

His deep ocean blue eyes stared straight at her and she's never come across such beautiful blue eyes before.

His crimson red hair was stylishly combed, adding to his features and when he got down from the bike, he was just as tall and imposing, staring down at her and she really wished she could just get a little bit of height right now.

"Don't act blind or dumb, you have eyes and ears for a reason, use them well." He accused while keeping his piercing gaze locked on hers, he was already annoyed on his way here and this girl only added to it.

Anxi on the other hand scratched the back of her head before lowering her gaze, going over his word in her head.

"My eyesight is fine and besides the road was empty when I finally decided to cross, you just showed up out of nowhere."

He scoffed silently at her petty excuse, he showed up out of nowhere? "Of course, they try to make up an excuse in order to hide how careless and neglecting they can be."

"You don't know me, so you obviously have no right to call me careless." She pointed a finger at him, okay so maybe she was careless but she doesn't have to agree to that.

He stared at the delicate finger which was pointed straight at him, before shifting his icy blue gaze back to hers, she looked cute when he stared into her big starry round eyes.

"Too quick to retaliate, I hate liars." He snorted, turning away from her like she was some kind of pest he couldn't stand.

"And I hate people who refuse to accept their own mistakes, what's wrong in admitting that you nearly hit me with your bike."

"Well now I regret not doing it, cause if I had done it, you wouldn't be here having this conversation with me so you should thank me instead."

Anxi found him quite annoying each time he spoke like he owned the world, and she thought Xander was more annoying. Are all the handsome guys these days so annoying??

Even his aura felt quite odd, sure he looked undeniably charming but his aura carried a more intimidating feeling, she wouldn't let that hold her back anyways.

She forced a smile as she innocently met his gaze.

"Thank you." She sweetly said. "And for this too."

Before the young fellow could grasp her next move, she instantly stepped on his feet and snatched the helmet from his grip.

"Ahh!! Hey!!" The young fellow felt the sharp pain that circulated through his feet and when he tried to grab her, she instantly took to her heels with his helmet, afraid he might just come after her.

He watched her flee, right after stepping on his foot, it hurt for him to even go after her and she didn't stop running until she was out of sight.

"Dammit!!"

The replay of her act kept repeating in his head and that sweet smile she flashed him earlier, it was just a trap and how was it possible he fell for it??

That irked him up completely and he even felt more embarrassed with himself.

"So much nerve! She even took my helmet! Who was that girl??" He really wouldn't want to go after her, besides he has something important to deal with anyways than wasting time on a human girl, he'll get her some day.
