Jamal's POV
"Thank you Paul..." I nodded to my driver as he opened the door for me...
I grabbed my bag and headed towards my elevator from the basement... it takes me directly to my floor so no one knows when i am around or not... I like taking people by surprise

It's Monday again and even if I wouldn't admit it out loud... I'm excited to come to work today... and it's not because I am a workaholic...

She has been on my mind the whole Saturday night... the whole of Sunday until this very second... everything I see in my house reminds me of her... I hate this.. being this vulnerable

Even Leena missed her yesterday, I had to distract her with so much because she kept on begging me to call Ms Leila...
I wouldn't mind seeing her too... but I knew the more time we spent together... the more fucked up I'll get...

The elevator dinged and i walked through the quiet hallway.. I checked my time and it was 7:55.. good... she's probably in my office now... she is now my favorite sight in the morning...

I opened my office door and I think my whole plan of staying away from her today.. flew back down to the basement where I made it

She was so busy arranging my files on the table she didn't notice me... I know this because she bites her lip when she's concentrating on a task... which is a freaking turn on..

I didn't want to make a sound

I didn't want to make a sound.. I wanted to take in her appearance... she always dress so modestly yet I feel this strange attraction towards her...wth is wrong with me

She raised her head too quickly... and froze... her eyes held mine for a few seconds... like time was lost... I could stare at those eyes forever.... oh dear God

"Good morning sir... how was your weekend.." she finally stuttered and looked down... shy Leila is back

"Good morning Ms Leila.. fine thank you... schedules?" I asked straight up.. and I regretted that immediately.. she might think I'm being a mean person... but then again... it's for the best

"Uh... Uhm.. sorry" she said and I could see the hurt in her eyes... forgive me

She started reading out my schedules but I couldn't hear anything... my thoughts are so everywhere I was feeling anxious and angry that I can't control my feelings.

"That's okay.. thank you Ms Leila." I said and she just nodded without looking at me.. and walked away... great, now she hates me

I tried so hard to engross myself in work... but it wasn't helping.. Its just 10 am and I had already had 3 cups of coffee... I kept on thinking if I should apologize for being such an ass, but at the same time.. it's better she hates me

"Well excuse my French but you look like crap.." my dad walks in... great.. just what I need right now

"Good morning to you too pops!" I said mockingly as I stood to hug him..
