11 Her piercing grey eyes

Omer's pov :

Her grey eyes are still haunting me. It's like something is eating her alive. She has the ability to drown anyone in her deep eyes and can burn anyone with her piercing grey eyes. It's been a month since I saw her, when my hyper active match maker sister left us alone in that cafe. When Zay called me and told me to come to that cafe,I immediately know that she is up to something and my guess is correct when I saw Scarlett there with her brown hair and mesmerizing grey eyes. She has that aura around her which makes people forget everything and just get lost in her. She can captivate anyone with her natural and simple personality.

I told her that I would have saved anyone in that situation at the party, yes I would have but after that I wouldn't have took that bastard to the police and make sure he cannot leave prison for a long time and I did it for Scarlett because when I saw her struggling and crying that day,I felt something which I never felt before not for my ex fiance.Her tears made me weak and it leads to beat the shit out of that creep.if zayreen wouldn't have stopped me I would have killed that bastard.

She is a sweet little thing who needs protection from this bad world and i know she is battling with her own demons and I can save her from her demons but first I have to fight my own demons. I just can't drag her in my cold soulless life. If have to save her I will save her from afar without knowing her but I cannot her life and cannot invite her into my life. Everytime I look into her eyes I can see her pain and I can see her doubt about her self and I can feel that is lacking her confidence and I want to make her see how beautiful she is, how amazing she is and how strong she is, but it is best for us if we stay away from each other. We are like fire, we have the ability to burn each other and I don't want to see he burn because of me.i want to see her happy and confident in herself.

Iam avoiding zayreen's calls because I don't want to face Scarlett again. She has the power to save me from my demons and make my cold heart melt but I can't make that happen.I don't want to drown her with me. I've had made the mistake of allowing someone in to my life and made the mistake of giving my heart but what I get in return? Infedility, unfaithfulness and the person who loves my money more than me.maybe Scarlett is not all the things, but I can't go in that away again. I have to stay away from her it's better for both of us.

Iam brought out of my thoughts by my office phone ringing" Hello! Hmm,tell her iam in a meeting and it's going to be late and tell her I will call her" I said to my secretary.

I didn't even put back the receiver at its place,my cabins door was burst open by none other than my loudest sister and without giving me anytime to think about my answer, why I didn't allowed her in.she started ranting about how iam avoiding her and ignoring her calls.

" Woah woah calm down zay. My employees are gonna run away from the office because of your loud voice and wrath. I said getting up from my chair to calm her down. Angry Zay is very scary. I don't want to burn in her wrath.

" You want me to calm down! Hell no, iam not going to calm down. First you mister have to give me the answer,why are you ignoring my calls and texts? And just now why did you told your secretary that you are in a meeting but you are sitting in your cabin" Zay said hands on her hips, narrowing her eyes looking like a volcano ready to burst.

" Umm I seriously have a meeting now Zay and if I wouldn't have got the call from my secretary I would have in that meeting" I said with my straight face not showing any emotions because Zay has the ability to detect a lie from the one kilometer radius. If she caught me lying then no one can save me from her wrath.

" Whatever omer, I don't want to listen about your boring meetings and office life.i just came here to invite you to my apartment"

" Your apartment? Why? Is everything okay? " I asked suddenly afraid that did something happened to Scarlett.

" Scarlett is okay omer. I just want you to invite to our small get together party in our apartment and it is tomorrow" she said smirking.

I released my breath which iam holding unknowingly.why did my first thought went to scarlett.why did I thought something had happened to her and why did that thought bothered me. My nerves are aching due to these thoughts. I have to stop thinking about her.

"Huh! I didn't asked about Scarlett. Why are you telling about her to me" I said not looking at her and I know Zay,she can see through my lie but she didn't call me out on it and for that iam really thankful.

" Ummm okay if it helps you to sleep at night. So, are you gonna come or not" she asked with that same smirk.

I rolled my eyes before answering her " I don't know Zay if iam able to come or not because I have alot of pending works,which I have to finish as soon as possible" I said leaning on my table.

" Ohh please omer one day is not going to take away all your money and make you penniless and you are the boss, you have employees right?so they can manage for a day without you. So don't make any other excuses" she said turning the door nob ready to leave.

" Yeah Zay I know what you are saying is right but I can't leave everything on my employees but yeah I will think about it" I said going behind my table to sit and start my work.

" I don't want to hear your excuses omer. You are coming and that's final" Zay said glaring at me.

" We will see Zay now leave, I have work to do which is rudely interrupted by someone" I said accusing her with my eyes.

" Oh brother don't make me come here rudely interrupting you again and dragging you out of your office infront of your employees. If I have to do that you know I can do that right?"she asked folding her hands and smirking.

"Seriously Zay you are gonna drag me with you if I refused to come. What are we,five? Grow up Zay and leave now I have to work" i said rolling my eyes and going back to my work.

" You know I can do that Omer.so better you come tomorrow.okay brother, bye! Love you" Zay said fluttering her eyes and smiling sweetly and waving at me.

" Whatever zay close the door when you leave" I said typing on my laptop not looking at her.

" Bye brother and don't forget that you have to come tomorrow okay" she banged the door yelling outside my cabin.

What Iam gonna do with her, no one can believe that she is 20 years old grown woman and still behaves like a kid. I know what Zay is trying to do. She is trying to set me up with Scarlett and I have to stop her by doing something crazy which can hurt Scarlett.

I hope she is not making Scarlett hope that something gonna happen between her and me.

**************************************************

After making sure that everything is finished for the day I left my cabin. There is no one in the office at this time. Everyone leaves at 5 in the evening but I leave at 8. sometimes I stay in the office if I feels like to stay, because no one is waiting for me at my penthouse.i have to go to an empty house so there will be no difference between office and my penthouse.

I saw my secretary's cabin's light is on and knocked on her door and waited for her to open. Woah what the hell is she doing looking like that in the office. I cleared my throat and asked her with a straight face " what are you still doing in the office miss Steele? Your office time is finished three hours before".

Without giving any answer she stturted towards me trying to be sexy but failing miserably. She is in her daily office attire but her blouse's first two buttons are open and she usually put her hair in a professional bun and ponytail but now it is down and she is wearing a bold red lipstick and having that look in her eyes I never saw before for me and the determination in her eyes to seduce me is clear and strong.

If I wouldn't have my ethics and boundaries I would have taken advantage of her but no that is not me. She may just want to have fun but no I can't.its against my ethics and policies. Iam not the man to have fun with anyone it's against my Baba's upbringing and I don't want to insult his upbringing.

" Ummm sir I am waiting for you. You may have been tired because of the work and you never took leave from the work and it is not good for your health" she said shyly and bitting her lip trying to be seductive but again she is failing miserably.

" I know what is good and what is not for me miss Steele and you don't have to wait for me. So don't wait for me from tomorrow" I said sternly.

" Uh...I..I just want to help you release your stress.it will make you feel better" she said standing in front of me lifting her hands and trying to undo my shirt

buttons.

I stopped her hands and said making my voice calm and scary "miss Steele I appreciate if you keep your hands to yourself and leave before I fire you"

" But sir, I just want to help you.you work too hard and I can't see you stress yourself out" she said once again trying to touch me but I stepped back and looked at her hard and anger with in my eyes.

" I tried to give you a last chance and warned you but still you didn't listened.iam sorry miss Steele but I don't want you in my office anymore.take your things and send me your resignation tomorrow,I will transfer your salary to your account" I said leaving her cabin.

" Sir, iam sorry.i don't know why I did it but iam really very sorry sir don't fire me" she started crying and following me to the elevator.

" No miss Steele I really don't appreciate this type of behavior and that's final. Leave" I said entering the elevator and pressing the parking lot's button.

" But s...s..ir....s...sorry, give me a chance" she is now crying frantically.

" No miss Steele, you lost your chance when is stopped you at your first attempt and I don't give second chances" I said and the elevator's door got closed. The last thing I saw is miss steel's teary face but I saw something in her eyes too, determination? But for what? Whatever it maybe I don't want employees like her in my office who make advances towards their boss. I did the right thing by firing her.

Iam going to my empty soulless house. There is nothing new and exciting in my life. I wake up, eat, work,sleep,wake up it's a never ending cycle.

I hope iam able to break this cycle or someone with piercing grey eyes?

I shake my head to remove all these thoughts and exited my office's parking lot in my Porsche.
