The arrival of the new Elliot Group’s President

6:00 in the morning at the Pearl Tower, Maria’s alarm goes off. She quickly jumps out of bed and rush to the toilet to have a shower. 20 minutes later, went to her walk- in closet and took out her gray high-rise pencil cut skirt and white button-ups with an upturned collar and opted for a 4 inch black faux suede peep toe platform heel. She completed her outfit with slim alligator belt and chose a white gold stud earrings, Wrist watch in silver stainless with ceramic diamond, simple white gold choker for her accessories. Today,she will have Egg and Ham with Cheese topped croissant and black coffee with fresh milk on the side for breakfast. After having her meal, she brushed her teeth and applies light makeup and her trademark red lipstick. Once satisfied with her look, she took her gray purse and dash out of her place. She opened the driver’s seat of her black Chevrolet Traverse and drove on the way to the

Company, while waiting for the green light she quickly sends a message to Joshua.

“I am stuck in traffic, I hope I won’t be late, Today Beast commence at work, can’t let him have bad impression on me on our first meeting. Anyways, I’ll see you tonight at the Pier79 as usual.

Meanwhile Joshua Elliot, the President of the Elliot Group is on the phone talking to his Mother. He’s also stuck in traffic, not realizing that he has incoming message.

“Mom, with these added responsibilities in my shoulder having a serious relationship needs to be on the side burner. Beside, you know I was never a committed type of guy” He jokingly said to his Mom

“Son, I am not saying marry a girl right away. I know you well, just loosen up! Isn’t it nice to have someone special in your life, ever thought of it at least once? She replied hoping he would consider her words.

“Mother, send my regards to Father. Let’s just see what happens, I am at the grounds of the Company. Love you both”

Joshua parks his Lambhorgini Urus on the reserved spot for him, as he got out and walk towards the building he noticed a tall woman who was obviously in a hurry walking towards the building too. 'Damn! Maria’s really tall, if I am not mistaken she mentioned in our last conversation that she stands 5’10 ft.' he recalled silently. 

While waiting for the elevator, she wonders why the girls keep on looking behind her. “He’s so hot, so effing hot!” one girl who works as receptionist in the IT dept. said. She turned around and saw Joshua Elliot walking towards the elevator for his exclusive use.

“Good Morning Mr. Elliot” She greeted. 'Oh no! talk about Bad timing!' silent thought

“Morning Miss Maria! Running a bit late, aren’t we?” He asked with a straight face before entering the elevator.

“I am very sorry Sir, I got stuck in traffic” Maria reasoned out, a bit nervous.

“Come and take the lift with me” He said without looking at her.

“Okay Mr. Elliot” without thinking too much she went inside the elevator with him and pressed 60th floor where their office located.

“After you Miss Maria” Joshua said as soon the elevator opens

Maria steps out of the elevator first followed by him. Nice pear hips and ***! he thought to himself slightly tilting his head. “Come to my office, once you settle yourself at your work station” Joshua said to her

“Yes Mr. Elliot” She replied back, she just throw her purse on her seat and took her notepad and went to his office.
