Aurora's pov

I wake up with a headache, I'm use to it by now,it been over four years now, these dreams have start when I was 18 years old and it just won't go away I'm tire of it, I don't really know the guy that come into my dreams, I'm not sure if I have ever meet him anyway.

Never mind, I've got work to attend to.

I of course don't live alone , I'm on a big apartment and my roommate next door, had just to be my crazy best friend, she use to be my roommate but then we got a separate apartment , a big sigh escaped my lips.

Never mind, I've got work to attend to anyway.

After doing all my morning routine and skin care I finally got ready and walk out of my apartment, I lock door and pull out my phone and check the time. <06:23>

" crap I'm late!" I walk downstairs really fast and as a soon as I left the building I walk straight forward, I have to cross, then grab a coffee seed ( my boss wanted coffee seeds) , I stay stand too long, I didn't even look if a car was coming by or not I start crossing, but it was too late car was coming on my direction with full speed.

"!!!" I stop there I was surprised by it I couldn't move.

Just then a hand wrapped around my arms and pull me back, I stumbled back, but didn't fall, the car hadn't stop it passed by me with a small distance.

" th-thank you" I says softly.

I turn around and look up the man behind me was tall , I don't have time to thank him too much, I just grab a paper and write my number into it, then I grab his hand I place it on his palm.

" if you ever wanted something I'll help you with that, and thanks again for saving me!" I start walking away and finally cross the other side and walk straight to a coffee shop, Mia the owner had already got everything done , I just place ten bucks on the table and greet her with a head nod , I walk out of the coffee shop fast and didn't want to wasted more time , I took a taxi and It drives me to my work building, as a soon as I walk in it my colleague start laughing at me, I was confused .

Iris walk up to me and grab my hand I hadn't even noticed her, it startled me, I stop and glance at her.

" iris?..." I whispered I was out of breath.

" yeah, morning aurora..., why are such in a rush?" Iris says, her hand fixing my mess up hair.

" I'm late for work! I slept too long yesterday and this morning I woke up too late.." I sigh and stays standing there.

" you always do too much...," Iris sigh and grab the pack up coffee seeds.

" did you forgot what day we are today?" Iris add.

I look confused and then I gasp .

" today is the day that our boss sign contract with the biggest company know ever and I forgot that!..." I sigh

" I'm wondering how did you become his secretary" iris place a hand on her face and shake head.

" then everything have to be ready!" I grab back the coffee seed bag from her and walk towards the elevator.

Once in my office, I hear noise from downstairs, I got up from chair and walk towards the window, car after car come place them in front of my work building, thing couldn't get any better, I fix my clothes and hair, but then I look the man who come out of the car and stay froze.

" please don't tell me it him whose the biggest business man ever!" It was him the man that had save me from a car accident, my heart pound, not from excitement but from desperation, what will he tell my boss about me?, I questioned myself.

My office phone ring, the boss call everyone down to greet his biggest guest. I hadn't even had time to think. I grab my purse and walk downstairs and grab same elevator and goes downstairs, once there every worker was standing opposite from each, leaving a big space in the middle and of course I stand right in the beginning of it.

My boss got down and walked towards the building door, the man come in a guard had open door for him .

I walked on the left side and once the man fully walked in everyone bow their head and stay like that, I hear the man footsteps and pray that he won't recognize me I really did pray.

" morning MR. Blake welcomes to our digital marketing company" my boss say , he extends a hand to that man, and so the man take my boss hand in his.

The man simply nod, I haven't hear him talk, not yet, then our boss told us to stand back straight and go back on our own work, I took that opportunity to walk towards the elevator, as a soon as I got in my boss call out to me.

"Aurora!, hold up the elevator we are coming up" boss says with a smile , oh my god, let it not be so bad please.

I wait for them, they walk quietly in the elevator and then my boss press the higher button, the one that lead to the meeting room.

The man come in and look me in the eye, we hold eye contact for some more minutes but I didn't feel any butterflies stuff I feel a lump in my throat and a cold wind caressing my hand.

" Morning Mr. Blake..." I says out polite my voice quiet, he was tall fat too tall and I could feel that this man was not just wealthy but also extremely dangerous. I gulp when he didn't answer me directly.

" morning lady aurora..." he says in a deep calm voice, his voice wasn't soft but rough.

I smile awkwardly, once the elevator opens I step out the first and bow head and walk towards the stairs leading to my office downstairs I walk down and then grab the documents my boss need for this contract.

Calm down aurora Jane , you can do it, it not the first sign contract anyway!

I reassure myself .

I walk back toward now the meeting room door, in there are only men with more wealth than I'll ever have as a poor secretary, well can't say that I'm so poor.

Knock!, Knock.

I knock two time then I hear my boss voice telling me to come in, I fix my hair to the side and place a Serene smile and a calm face , before pushing the door open and walk in, once inside I start greeting everyone and shake their hand in polite manner once it was the turn of this man I feel chill run down my spine.

I extend my hand and he shake it then let go politely I was surprised, and it made me calm down slightly, I walk in front of them all and place down the document and put on a hologram in big and start explaining why we need these investors to collaborate with our small digital marketing company and agency, and how it can help us grow and be a win/win

For both companies, then come the question period, I start explaining on what issues and answering questions they ask me.

I was feeling proud of myself then my eye stop right into Mr. Blake eyes, he simply had cross arms and look me, he hadn't spoke he simply listened and observed, I felt like I was a cage bird I the eye of this man, shaking my head I returned on my work.

Just then he spoke up .

" I'll agree on investing in this company..." he simply stated without any hesitation or questioning us he simply agreed.

My boss immediately push the contract towards him and he grab a pen and sign it , I sigh of relief, other companies bosses immediately want to sign a contract too and my boss agreed and told them he'll contact the other.

Soon the meeting room was empty and boss asked me to escort Mr. Blake out and so I did too.

It was quite calm and peaceful, once inside the elevator, I press the button and we start going down.

"You...you gave me your number? Aren't you scared of strangers, lady aurora?" He says .

" sorry I didn't mean to offend you Mr Blake, I was really late and was looking elsewhere" I whispered softly, it was my mistake.

" it fine, just don't give anyone your number like that, if something personal you know" he scold me.

This man just scold me?!, I nod and hum softly.

" alright..."

Once the elevator opens and he walks out of the building I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
