"No way!" She squealed with happiness. "I knew it! I knew your voice would be terribly good and it is. And Yes, of course i would love to take the hanky. I wonder how good you would look under those thick fabrics" She said with raised eyebrows and a sly smile.
At that moment, Damian knew this was going to be the strangest night ever. He had just met a crazy, blunt and raw lady that didn't even know who he was. "I have to take my leave".
"No..!" she dramatically pouted. "Don't go, you have to spend the night with me. I don't even know what i'm doing here. Or we can share a bottle of champagne, that shit tastes really nice." Her face was brimming with smiles as she eagerly waited for his response.
"I have work tomorrow" He politely rejected.
"I have work tomorrow too, maybe... or maybe not. I don't really know how my tomorrow will be. I just have to make proper use of tonight. Thank God i came tonight, i wouldn't have met a beauty like you.
Damian looked speechlessly at the woman that was continously flirting with him. Maybe she was drunk or high on drugs? The second option was certainly not possible "Miss Jamie, you're drunk right now. I would advise you to go home."
" Miss Jamie? I love how you call my name. But how do you know i'm a 'Miss'? What if i'm married? Or do you want me not to? "
Damian took a deep breath and asked " Are you married?"
She laughed softly and said" No"
Damian stood, confused at how dynamic she was. "Then why did you talk about getting married?
She pursed her lips and squinted her eyes like she was in deep thought." Maybe because i want to marry you. Look! We look good together " She walked beside him and linked her arms with his.
Damian quickly backed off from her "That's very funny"
"Are you avoiding me? I don't even know the next time i would be seeing you. Don't avoid me okay?" She cutely fluttered her long lashes.
A young man walked up to them "Mr Keno, our Ceo would like to have a word with you".
"Alright, I will be there". The young man walked off after hearing his reply.
Damian turned towards Jamie "I will be back. Do not move an inch okay?".
"Alright my Prince, i will be waiting" She slightly rubbed his hands before letting him go..
Damian slowly walked away while looking back continuously to ensure she was still there. But the crowd gradually closed up on her.
After talking for a few minutes, Damian walked back to the spot he had left her but she was gone. She wasn't there.
******
The next morning, Damian sat in his office. The fully spaced office settings and glass windows screamed high quality. Very suitable for the CEO.
Secretary Louis stood across his table, briefing him on what needed to be done for the day but he couldn't here a thing. His mind was still there, last night. Who could that woman have been? If she was at the event, then she was probably a business owner or something. Only high profile individuals came. But she didn't look even slightly familiar.
She looked so sophisticated yet acted so weird. But that weird humor was something Damian couldn't get his mind off. She looked so cute flirting with him.
"Mr Damian Keno, did you even hear anything i said for the past five minutes" Louis spoke loudly, bringing him back into the earth space.
"Yes Louis, I heard you" Damian sat up on his seat and traced his hands on the file like he knew what he was doing.
Louis was a junior veteran soldier who never had interest in becoming a soldier. He had been coerced by his family but ended up resigning and had worked with Damian.
"Louis, tell me. Do you know any Miss Jamie, probably in the business section?" Having worked as a secretary for 9 years, Louis was the perfect person to ask. He always knew the old and new, the serious and unserious in the business world. Damian was partly confident that he would know.
" Miss Jamie? I have never heard of that name before"
Damian disappointedly slumped back on his seat.
Seeing his reaction, Louis said "Did you meet her yesternight? Did she steal from you or something? We could check the cctv."
"No Louis, she didn't do such. You know what? Don't worry, i will find her myself".
Louis seemed like he wanted to say something but Damian cut him off.
"Don't worry, just leave".
"Miss Norra is here with her proposal, i will send her in"
"Miss Norra?" Damian asked, his voice laced with confusion.
"Yes, Miss Norra of Melo Foods. She is in town now and decided to meet you personally".
"Ohh, okay"
Louis walked out of the office, shutting the door behind him.
Few minutes later, Damian heard a knock on the door. He quickly shoved off his thoughts, his demeanor instantly changed, going all CEO "Come in".
The sandalwood door opened and he heard the click of shoe and heels steadily walking to him. He raised his head up just in time to meet those olive green eyes. He instinctively stood up, unable to believe his eyes.
She stretched out her hands and said "Good morning Mr Keno, I'm Jasmine Norra.
