Friday rolls around quickly, much quicker than shayla realised it had! She's woken up to her phone blaring loudly every few minutes, someone's definitely calling her phone non stop!
Shayla peels her eyes open, realising she had forgotten to see her alarm the night before. She rolls over and untangles herself from the covers then rummages hurriedly through her handbag, sitting beside the bed, for her phone.
Once her fingers find her phone she yanks it out, swiping the screen to connect Linda's call.
'Shay! thank god! your awake! Your late! get up and get yourself dressed!' Linda shrieks down the phone in a frantic panic. This all the motivation Shayla needs as she hauls herself out of the bed, runs over to the closet and strips her clothes. She shimmies into her underwear then throws on a beige blouse with an A line black skirt, matched with black knee high boots.
She quickly curls her hair and applies some mascara and light pink lip gloss, before smacking her lips together to get a smooth finish. It's the best she can do because she doesn't have the time to doll herself up or she will be late.
Grabbing her black, fur hooded parka coat, she scampers out of the house, grabbing her keys on route, running to her car. Shayla unlocks the car then yanks the door open, chucking her things on the passenger seat while climbing in, then she speeds out the driveway!
With 20 minutes to get to the meeting.
.....
Lewis had been waiting patiently for all of the ladies that were supposed to arrive today. Out of the 70 women he had previously contacted only 8 had arrived as of yet, 8 was certainly less than he had originally expected. This was the SHARK! Who wouldn't want to be married to him?
He thought quietly to himself 'well this is going to be much easier than I thought it would be' All of a sudden though, the elevator tings from behind him, he turns as a tall woman walks out of the elevator looking a little lost. Lewis walks over to the damsel in distress, like any true gentleman would and greets her respectfully 'Hello mam'
'Hello, I'm uh shayla, my assistant recieved an email about president Leroy Shark looking for a bride' Shayla speaks quietly, not wanting to draw attention to herself, there's other people here, who knows if these people know about this?
'Ah, yes, Did you book a meeting?'
'Yes, yes I did' Shayla says confidently while shooting a small smile at Lewis.
'Great, can you highlight the email please, then take a seat with the others'
Shayla looks through the email addresses for Linda's email. Her eyes scan the list slowly, when she reads the last one, her confidence has simmered completely, her face now pales in embarrassment. It wasn't there!
Furrowing her brows she swiftly turns around and tells Lewis the issue honestly.
'Excuse me, I'm sorry, I don't see the correct email, there's a landa but no Linda' Shayla explains quietly, not wanting to gain attention.
'Let me see' Lewis says, also furrowing his brows then begins looking at the emails that Shayla is now pointing too. Lewis breaks out into a cold sweat when he reads the email, realising he must have typed the email in wrong! Leroy is going to have his head for this! How could he have done something so simple so terribly wrong!
'Take a seat I will be back' Lewis instructs curtly before hastily running off in a complete frazzled mess to go and find the SHARK!
Shayla sits down and waits quietly on the navy blue waiting room chairs, she grabs a fashion magazine off of the nearby table then starts to read. Quietly waiting.
'Sir, we have a problem' Lewis exclaims loudly while barging into leroys office unannounced!
'What's the meaning of this?!' leroy shouts angrily while sending a piercing glare at Lewis, expecting for Lewis to elaborate on his actions. Leroy has never allowed anyone to step into his office in such an extreme way before, his always seen such acts as disrespectful! How could Lewis be so reckless on a day like this?!
'I'm sorry sir, I should have knocked but there's a problem! I accidentally misspelled an email address, instead of putting landa I put Linda! Someone else recieved the email and the woman is now here' Lewis rants at a mile a minute, completely panicking! Knowing full well this could potentially be the day his fired for being incompetent! Even though it was an honest mistake.
Leroy leans back in his chair then turns to face the skyline outside his floor to ceiling glass window for a moment, to contemplate. After a few very tense moments for Lewis, Leroy swivels his chair back around then sighs heavily.
'What's done is done, we can't just throw her out, Do a background check, if all is well she can be considered as a candidate for a potential wife'
Lewis nods curtly then scrambles out of the office to do as his been asked. His secretly glad to be away from Leroy, his always been unpredictable when angry or provoked.
Leroy decides while waiting for Lewis to come back, to go have a peek at these women that could potentially become his wife today. Upon walking out of his office 8 girls practically swoon over him, three are crying, one begs for an autograph and the others look away with sly grins on their faces!
All but one!
The woman sits there completely composed with not a care in the world, this is intriguing for Leroy. She's definitely caught the sharks eye! She's captivating even at a distance. Leroy walks straight over to her before lifting her chin tentatively from the magazine she was reading with his thumb and forefinger so they can have eye contact. Leroy's eyes roam the woman's face as he witnesses the woman's blush while her hypnotising eyes stare, wide in shock back at him.
Leroy smirks down at the woman, he loves how alluring she is, when she shoots a small smile up at him he steps closer before snaking his hand along her defined jaw. He then leans down slowly to place a delicate kiss on her parted lips. While Shayla sits there frozen, completely bewildered!
As soon as Leroy pulls back from the kiss he can see the woman has gone completely crimson.
He wants to claim this woman as his!
Lewis has now returned with the information that he was required to collate for Leroy but he stops short on his heavy footsteps when he witnesses this encounter happening, Leroy has always been a confident and powerful man but to kiss a woman so quickly after meeting them is definitely a shocking sight for Lewis.
Leroy must have heard Lewis moving around as he graciously pulls the woman up and pulls her swiftly into his chest.
'Lewis' Leroy calls to him over his shoulder 'this one! The rest can go' Leroy announces confidently.
A man should always know what he wants.
The Shark has caught its prey!
