Thick black glasses

James POV:

Ugh...Monday it is, can we skip this day? There are a lot of things to do on Monday and I'm not in the mood to work my ass today. Not that I'm lazy, this word does not exist in my memory. But damn I don't know why, but my body still wants to be in my bed.

After dragging myself out of bed and doing my business, I took a shower, (after that) then I'm out to get ready, took my suit jacket, dress shirt, trouser, and lastly dress shoes from the closet. Dark blue is my to go to since I like it, wait I forgot my necktie and watch. Lazy it is

Walking outside the parking lot I've called Janet to say my good morning.

"Hey! Good morning Ms. soon to be Mrs. Madrigal."

A soft voice responded "Hi! Morning Mr. Madrigal" She giggles. "Drive safely and eat some breakfast, it's Monday and you know hectic it is I don't want you to be sick".

James sighs…" I miss you and the breakfast you made for me, can you just live with me now? I mean we’re getting there anyways Janet."

"James I miss you too and we’ve talked about this. We will live together once we get married. I can't wait for that day too.”

“Sure, fine. I'll hang up now. Take care, Honey."

"Bye James and take care."

It took 20 minutes to drive from my house to the office. Employees were in and out. I had parked my car on my dedicated slot and walked to the elevator and pressed the button to the 26th floor, my office. I forgot that today, I’ll have a new executive assistant after Mel got married and lived as a housewife to take care of her husband, and as soon to be mother, she filed a resignation a month ago.

Mel was my executive secretary for 3 years and hell she's good at everything. She will turn over her position to the new assistant. I totally forgot. I haven't checked her files as I was busy and HR handled the process for me. As the elevator opens I heard Mel talking to someone. I was busy with my phone and unable to see who it was and just said Good morning. The usual. Mel turned around and greets me. I lifted my head up and stopped to react when my eyes met the eyes under the thick glasses. I don't know how many seconds it lasted. I was just mesmerized with the eyes. it's hazel brown with thick long lashes and I think she was wearing some eyeliner but not that obvious. I was snapped from my trance when Mel spoke

"Mr. Madrigal...” I cut her and turn around to proceed to my office and shut the door.
