Crazy Obsession

Fate's Whisper

The dim glow of the city lights penetrates the tall buildings of Kane's office. Emma Thompson, the new intern, has been working late tonight, fidgeting between the big piles of documents she was assigned to finish by the boss's secretary. As she completed the last sheet of paper, she noticed that the time was passed midnight already. She stood up, striding to the secretary's office when she noticed the light shinning from the CEO's office. Driven by curiosity, she cautiously approached the opened door. In front of her was The Kane, the famous drop dead gorgeous CEO asleep on his desk. Emma slowly approached him, captivated by the way his short brown curls framed his sharp features. As a new intern, she only has heard rumours about the mysterious CEO and how much of a womanizer he is. What she didn't know was how breathtakingly handsome this man was, and how effortlessly his presence drew her in.

"I better hurry up and get home", she said turning towards the door.

"Emma," a deep voice echoed through the room, making her jump.

She turned around only to see Kane awake standing up.

"What are you doing in my office?" he asked coldly.

Emma's heart was pounding in her chest. "I was just passing by to drop documents when I saw the light opened and came to check if everything was alright."

She saw his pierced blue eyes lingering over her body like a as he stepped closer to her.

"You know I've been drawn to you the moment i saw your picture on the resume. You are even prettier in person" he said in a voice full of desire.

Emma's heart was pounding in her chest as he kept closing the distance between them. She knew that he was a womanizer but she was already drawn to him and the thrill of the moment was intoxicating.

"You can't know how much I want you" he says in a husky voice his eyes never leaving hers, his fingers brushing against her cheek.

Emma leaning into his touch couldn't resist the temptation no more. "Well then show me".

                                                                          **BEEP, BEEP, BEEP**

Emma's eyes slowly fluttered open. She blinked at the ceiling, disoriented, her heart still racing from the strange dream she just had.

She slowly sat up and looked around.

The room was quiet.

She let out a small breath and rubbed her eyes. It all felt so real—the moment, the words, the way he looked at her.

"Just a dream..." she whispered to herself glancing at the clock beside her.

She sprang out of bed "I can't be late again for work, today is an important day!"

                                                                                               ***

"Emma! Where are you?" her friend's voice crackled through the phone.

"I'm almost there, Annie. I know I'm late, but it's impossible to move quickly in these tight pants!"

"Girl, just hurry up. I don't know what's happening, but I can hear our colleagues whispering about the boss coming in today or something..."

"What? You've got to be kidding me! Why today of all days?" Emma reached the building's glass entrance and fumbled for her key card. "I'm walking through the door right now. I'll be there in a second."

She passed through the gate and hurried towards the elevator door.

"Hold on!" she yelled, rushing toward the open elevator. " Was it so hard to just wait" she mumbled under her breath as the doors closed in front of her.

"I beg your pardon?" a deep voice said as the elevator doors reopened.

Emma looked up toward the source of the voice, her expression twisting in shock.
