Inferno Hearts

13. Remember me ?

" The files " I stopped infront of her .

She smiled submitting them and went back to her office .

I turned my steps away and was about to walk back to the elevator , I heard my name being called , i turned around to find many people soo I decided to ignore it , maybe they called someone else's name .

I heard it one more time , this time more vividly , I tried to ignore everything and get inside the elevator which I successfully did but right when the elevator door was about to close , suddenly a shoe interrupted the closing elevator door and it reopened again flashing a guy .

He looked very familiar , handsome and hot , very tall , his face sharper than ever , his eyes reminding me of purest honey anyone could ever find ,
His sleek long brownish hair with hint of golden shade to it , his thick eye brows , built figure , broad shoulders , his shirt doing a little job to cover his peaking muscles .

I stared at him with mouth wide open , how can this face be familiar ?

Do I know him from somewhere ? Absolutely not , I can never imagine meeting someone like ....this .

He was panting as he stared at me right after the door opened and stepped inside to which I took a step back to maintain distance and room for others .

The door closed as the elevator moved
But his eyes never left me , it looked like he wanted to talk to me .

I narrowed my eyes looking at him .

" Iris " he voiced out stepping closer .

Who the hell is this guy ?!

I backed away , my body meeting the wall behind me .

" Who are you ? " I asked , panick settling in my system .

Is he a creep ?

" Iris " he called again noticing my discomfort he stood in his ground .

" Do you remember me ? " He asked innocently with a hint of desperation , his eyes warm as hell as light smile took over his face trying to make me remember about him .

" I don't know you sir " I answered quickly assuming he must have mistaken me ... But he knows my name !

" Ivon ... " He smiled at me again with wide eyes which I found extremely adorable .

Oh my god .... It's Ivon !

Damn even if he was a stranger , I would have accepted that I knew him eventually .

I am kidding!

" Back in ...."

" In highschool " he completed my sentence growing closer with warm smile .

My cheeks reddened at the closeness as I stared at him tried to smile back .

" Oh my god " I breathed out .

" How have you been Iris ? " He asked with sweet tone which melted my heart enormously as I flashed him a smile .

" Good , how are you ? " I asked .

" Fine as well " he moved and stood beside me , and turned his face to me .

" You look beautiful " he whispered out of nowhere and the colour red intensifying my face as I cleared my throat to speak again .

" You look good too , how come you are here ? " I asked looking at him .

" Oh Andria didn't tell you ... I " we were abruptly cut off by the elevator but that wasn't the main interruption .

A tall figure stood right infront of us as we both were taken aback .

It was Mr . Lockwood , I saw his cold eyes land on both of us but focused on me more , I shivered at the contact and quickly looked away .

" Iris ? Are you there ? " Ivon shook my shoulder as I turned to him flashing an apologetic smile , he suddenly held my hand to stop me ,

" I ... Have to go now Ivon , I'll talk to you later " I freed myself from him and stepped out of the elevator .

The door closed leaving Ivon inside .

I walked towards the office as Mr. Lockwood's steps were rooted in same position as before , I went inside the office but to my surprise he walked behind me and shut the door close .

I stared at him weirdly and walked back to my table but suddenly remembered the reports I had to submit which were still in my hands .

I slowly got up and walked to him as he still stood with his back facing the closed door and eyes never leaving mine .

" What took you so long ? " His tone was colder now , I gulped and extended the reports to him but his hands were folded across his chest .

His presence was soo intimidating as I let down my hands and stared at him .

" What took you soo long ? " He asked again , his posture still relaxed but features tensed and cold .

" It wasn't..." I stuttered as he quirked an eyebrow .

" I just took 3 minutes sir " I responded quickly as he stepped closer to me , my heart ready to rip out of chest .

" Really ? " He whispered , his eyes boring holes on me as I looked away .

" I am really sorry sir , this won't happen again " I responded .

" 4.5 minutes " he said as I suddenly looked up .

" And now 5 minutes " he continued and sighed silently , his fingers met mine as reports slowly were pulled out and he walked to his table settling on his chair , I stood there catching my breath .

" Get back to work Iris " he reminded and I sat on my chair sighing .

What just happened ?
