6 5. CEO Cote

"This is amazing!"

The full table and kitchen of one of the most exclusives apartments in Capital City were displaying the best dishes of the tv cooking contests. Norah had arrived at a luxurious area in the most elegant neighborhood in the whole city. The first thing she noticed was the tall buildings with their white bricks and elegant features. She could only stop and admire the amazing architecture and compare it to the castles and towers in her world.

The astonishment went fast as she already was prepared to stay for a long time in her beautiful and comfortable apartment.

"Let's try this one."

The dishes floated in the room and some plates and forks were dancing around.

"Then this one."

Then her feet left the ground, and Norah floated around the room too as if she was in a space of zero gravity.

"What about this one?"

<Host, it seems that you can't make appear anything that doesn't exist already in this world.>

Then some dishes fell into the floor shattering the plates. An hour had passed.

"Then I can manipulate things and actions if I write about them, I can make appear things that already exist or can exist, but all the effects are for a time limit of one hour, then they will disappear or just stop moving."

<Yes.>

"Excellent, let's go make some points then."

She took her writer's book and went out of the room.

*****

In the biggest building of Capital City, a man with astonishing good looks was watching the busy city from outside. He was considered the most powerful man of the country that had inherited a big empire and power from many generations before. The imposing figure and handsome face of this man were a splendid sight to see but the purple eyes that had captivated the world for their uniqueness were his more outstanding features.

"Did you call her?"

"Yes, sir. We already sent a message. She is already in the city. The appointment is for tomorrow morning with the production team."

"Great, I want to meet her before them."

"Yes, sir."

Assistant Grey was stunned when the man before him called him a few days ago in the middle of the night. He wanted to make sure that the recently famous writer Norah Talbot was going to come to the meeting. He was stunned as they were informed that she had not a long time to live. So, they decided to leave her alone with her remaining days to enjoy, however, this man was insisting on calling her.

'How heartless.'

He let out a sigh.

That man was the owner of EmpireCorp, one of the biggest companies in the country and the world. Their scope reached many industries and markets around the globe, from agriculture and mining to oil production, even some technology startups, and a movie production company with many years in the market. However, any of those companies would be any near to a successful path if not for the talent of the man standing before the window.

Norah Talbot, the great writer and previous owner of the body, had signed with them a multimillionaire contract for one of her best-selling books. When she conceded the rights, she didn't care about the contract anymore as she was enjoying her remaining days and the production didn't bother to call her as she gave them the entire rights of changing whatever they wanted on the script and gave them full control over the selection of actors.

They were elated and satisfied. However, the CEO now insisted on finding her or the production would be stopped.

"CEO Cote, do you need anything else?"

"You can go back."

PA Grey made a slight bow and turned around closing the door carefully. The handsome man stood looking outside but his eyes were unfocused, then in his mouth grew a small smile.

"So, this is EmpireCorp."

Norah was standing outside a big building with a sharp point at the end. She narrowed her eyes looking up. She was amazed at this world's technology and capacity. Her world was so dependent on magic that they forgot that they could use their heads to construct such things.

She was so entranced in looking around the street, the cars, the buildings that she didn't notice how much her beautiful face and her amazing figure were attracting many glances. She looked the same as when she was in her last world. Red beautiful hair and enthralling green eyes.

"Look at her, is she an actress? She is so beautiful."

"Are they going to film something nearby?"

"She is going inside Empire Group. She should be an actress."

"Wait, isn't she that famous writer Norah Talbot?"

"Oh My God, yes she is!"

Many cameras instantly came out and the news on the internet was flaring with her beautiful image. 'The long-lost writer Norah Talbot is back.'

The beautiful girl went inside the reception and they immediately showed her to an elegant office. They told her that their CEO wanted to meet her before the production team.

'Sirin, is there any mission nearby?'

'Is it a high ranking one?'

'Excellent!'

'Yes! I hope it is an easy one.'

The handle of the door turned, and the door opened. The man entering looked at her and smiled. He was stunning. His beautiful white smile could brighten any room and his eyes were so deep that could look through one's soul. However, Norah was not pleasantly surprised but scared. The man before her has the same face as her Master from her world.

"Master Ethan…"

She muttered but the man frowned…

"Do we know each other?"

She looked at him curiously and the next moment a notification from the mission could be seen.

She was stunned by the mission.

'What the…?! How am I going to do that? This man is the cold and perverted wizard from my word, isn't he?'

'I am not. I will fail!'

<Host, we will not know if you don't try. I can feel this man's heart rate and he is looking at you with interest, I bet he is holding a smile right now.>

She was stunned. 'Is that true?' she narrowed her eyes at the man.

While she was dazed and lost in thought, the man was looking at her and hiding a chuckle. She didn't know how cute she looked right now.

<Host, quickly!>

'Alright!'

'Whaaa… what should I do?'

"Miss Talbot, are you alright?"

"Mmm?... yes."

"Then… let's sit."

"Yes…"

She was so disturbed by his gentle voice that she tripped on her steps. She was about to fall when a pair of hands hold her from behind. Her cheeks turned crazy red when she heard his whispers behind her ear.

"Are you alright?"

She looked at him with a blushing face and then nodded very quickly.

<1 smile… Host, you are doing it.>

'What? I didn't do anything!'

She then took a step back but again she tripped against the low table. He extended his arm and pulled her to his chest, but she made him trip too. They both landed on the couch…

<2 smiles, he is laughing, that counts as 10 smiles. Host, you just broke a record.>

She didn't hear Sirin as she was totally focused on the man before her. This was the first time he saw him laugh that happily before and she felt entranced.
