Courting Death.

Jesy climbed out of the taxi after she paid the driver, she stood directly before the high building. Normally, she would have been so happy and excited about it but after getting rejected what was there to be excited about? From where she stood, she could see both men and women on suits coming in and out of the building.

Taking a deep breath, she began to walk into the office building through the main door. As she stepped her feet inside, she was awed at how huge the reception was, the floors were of spotless marble tiles, the walls were painted with white and the brown reception chairs complemented the looks. It had a panoramic window that created a good view. The reception table was big and from where she stood, she could see people standing there talking to the receptionist.

Jesy walked to the reception table, she told the lady why she was here and the lady answered her by directing her to where the meeting was being held.

After thanking the lady, Jesy took the elevator and went to the floor where she was told the meeting would be held. She knew for sure that she was late, she wondered what was going on inside the meeting room.

Jesy walked down the hall way and reached the last door by the left as instructed by the receptionist. She stood before the door and took in a deep breath. She looked down at herself and made sure she was properly dressed and also used her fingers to soothen her hair just Incase any strand was out of place. Jesy was still in the process of soothening her hair when the door was swung open by someone from inside.

That was unexpected. Was the meeting over yet? A loud gasp escaped her mouth and left it wide open and her eyes were rounded in shock at the person she saw standing at the door. Mr Mask? He was a newbie too? But he looks too rich to be a newbie. What's he doing here?

As so many questions kept running around Jesy's head with her hand still on her hair, Trevor stood by the door, his assistant and other workers were standing behind. As always, he was still handsome with his mask on. His hazel eyes sized up the woman standing before him. Why was she late?

Jesy who had been dazed and lost in her thoughts finally regained herself when she realized the situation. She dropped her hands down and cleared her throat to chase away the awkwardness.

"Excuse me, I want to go in."

Jesy said while her eyes skimmed through the people standing behind Trevor, she could only see a few of them because Trevor's body was blocking her view but her eyes caught sight of the men behind him, they looked like they were bodyguards. Why would he even need a bodyguard when he was inside a company like this one? What could possibly happen?

'He must be so rich to have a bodyguard, if he is so rich, why was he here as a newbie? Since he had so much money he could just…..'

"You're late, the meeting is over."

Dennis deadpanned from behind, from where he stood behind Trevor, he could see who this person was. This person must have so much guts to attend an important meeting late and still block the way for his boss to pass. She's courting death.

Jesy was snapped out of her thoughts, she decided to move away from the door so that Trevor would pass, it was better than waiting for him to make way for her to pass, but as she moved to the side, she expected Trevor to start moving out but it was rather his eyesight that moved along with her, it followed her every movement and it made her frown.

The people inside the meeting room were patiently waiting for their CEO to leave before they'll finally take their leaves but they were surprised to find him still standing at the door. Every one of them had questioning looks as they stared at each other. What was going on outside?

Someone among them seems to get a glimpse of Jesy outside the door and she immediately whispered to her neighbor that a lady was obstructing their CEO from moving and that was how a silent argument erupted among them. Although they could not see who the person was, they were already seeing the person as someone stupid and disgusting. They were silently cursing at the person for trying to seek attention from their CEO.

Trevor still kept his eyes on Jesy, memories of what happened last night began flooding his head but he immediately pushed it away. He couldn't explain why he was suddenly interested in this woman but one thing was for sure, he already marked her as his and he wouldn't let go, he just needed a strategy to tie her securely to himself.

"Ms, being late for such important meeting is not tolerated and you still have the nerve to obstruct my boss from walking out."

The more Dennis stared at this woman, the more he wanted to so much throw her out. Someone like her wasn't befitted to work in their company.

"Yeah, so what if am late? Why are you the one complaining? You are not even the boss of this company yet you behave so cocky. Your boss could have simply let me walk in first but he stood still and when I made way for him to pass, he stood still again, how's that my fault? If you're frustrated, go vent on your wife, not me. Excuse me."

Without giving anyone a second glance, Jesy walked out, she would leave this place, after all, she was rejected which meant she had no business with them again. She would simply find another company to work with.

Every person inside the meeting room gasped at how audacious this person was. Just who was she? It seems she didn't know that the person she just talked to so rudely was the personal assistant to the CEO of this company. She was indeed courting death.

Trevor was at first surprised at how Jesy replied to his assistant but the surprised look changed to a smile but it was hidden behind his mask.

Dennis felt so insulted, how dare she? Of course, she definitely didn't know who she was talking to. He should go vent on his wife? He was still single and looked so young, why was she thinking he had a wife? Was he looking old for her to have such thoughts?

Dennis turned to the bodyguards behind him and gave a silent instruction which the bodyguards understood perfectly well. Trevor understood what Dennis was going to do, he walked out of the door and made way for the bodyguards to pass but his eyes were still on Jesy who was making her way out of the hallway.
