“I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, I can’t do anything but think about him. At night I dream of him, all day I wait to see him, and when I do see him my heart turns over, and I think I will faint with desire.” – Philippa Gregory

Niccole POV
I decided not to return to my house, and stay here in our parent's house for the next couple of weeks that Narlia has left to live. Plus she would need my help, when she has another episode again. She'll need my help with Bonnie as well...sweet Bonnie.
I'm in my room, and it's exactly the way I left it years ago, when I made the decision to move away from here, after our parents died, and never come back. This is the first time I'm going to be sleeping in this bed, since the day I left.
Narlia was downstairs preparing dinner, and I'd bathed already. Sitting down on my bed, I brought out my old laptop from the drawer. It was sill there, to my surprise. After plugging it to a power source, and putting it on, I went straight to the internet, typing the name she'd give me. 'Mr Ivante, new CEO ZEMA Industries'
The site loaded, soon showing me various Images of the man. Fuck! He was beautiful, I take a sharp breath intake, I'm stunned. The guy is actually fucking handsome. He has sleek back hair, with very dark piercing eyes, wide lips, good bone structure, he looked really tall. In the first picture, he was on a tuxedo, in some other pictures he was in casuals - t-shirt and shorts, probably went out for a run when it was taken. The next picture took my breath away. He was on nothing! Well, except a tight boxers, and standing by the pool, I guess you could call that a swimming trunk. His eight packs were glistening perfectly at me, on a beautifully tanned bodies. No tattoos I noted, guess our billionaire boy wasn't a bad boy in high school. Broad chest, huge biceps. My god he was a work of art.
Scrolling further down, I began seeing videos of him as well, on interviews, talking about his business, he had a deep timbre in his voice and it was so husky, almost as if he was just waking up from sleep.
Alright, time to stop drooling at the poor guy, I chided myself. He was the enemy remember? The big, handsome fucking sexy enemy, who was going to bring my house down, if I didn't do something about it.
When I reached the industry's official page, I copied out the number, that said 'if you wanted to book an appointment'
Then getting my phone, I dialed the number and called. A sweet lady answered
"Hello, you've reached Zema Industries, how can I help you?"
"Oh hi, my name's Cole. I wanted to book an appointment"
"Okay. You don't sound like a Cole. To see who?"
I roll my eyes. Bitch shouldn't judge my name.
"The CEO um.. Mr Ivante"
"When? And state your purpose ma'am. What kind of visit?"
"I'd like to make the appointment for tomorrow please. It's really urgent. It's about an uh...business proposal"
"I'm sorry Cole. Mr Ivante is booked for the next six months. You would have to book an appointment for after six months."
"What the...I'm sorry, what did you say? I said it's urgent" I was bloody well shocked
"As I'm sure is every other person's reason for booking an appointment with him as well. It's always urgent. It's January. Would you like to book an appointment for say July 15th? Should I write that down? I can call you to remind you, closer to the appointment date"
I sigh, dejected. I couldn't wait six months to see a man who's going to bring down my house in there weeks time
"Ma'am are you still there? I have incoming calls for people applying for jobs, you'd have to be fast about this. Are you booking an appointment or not?"
I'm about to say no, when what she just said suddenly dawns on me
"Wait, there are job vacancies at Zema?"
"Yes ma'am, there are"
"Well, forget all our previous discussion up till this point. I'm calling to apply for a job. When's the interview?" I ask excitedly
"Do you even know what the job vacancies are? And if you have the necessary qualifications to fit into that role? Anyways, the interview's in three days time. At 8 am sharp. Don't be late, if you're really serious about getting a job at ZEMA Industries. You seem like a nice person Cole. My advice? Get there by 7am. Mr Ivante likes it when, those he wishes to help, are already sitting down waiting for him, by the time he gets there. Not he having to wait for them. You didn't hear this from me, he has a shall we say, natural aversion to girls, spoilt, lazy ones, so don't look or act like one. Dress smart. Goodbye" and the call hung up.
Wow. Aversion to lazy girls? Wasn't that half the world's population of girls? I mean, we all had a little bit of lazy in us.
Nevermind, I don't let that affect me. I log onto an online market to order something to wear for that day, as I'm not in a habit of keeping corporate dresses at home. And even if I were, my clothes were not here. They were still back at my house. I'd have to see about moving some of my things over here, by tomorrow, I mentally noted.
Scanning through the dresses I saw, I finally settled on a red blazer, white blouse and somewhat brownish looking skirt.
I switched off the laptop and off my phone, preparing to go to sleep, after I saw the congratulatory message telling me my order would arrive tomorrow. A tanned, handsome hunk on my mind, as I drift off to sleep
