The Devil's Love For The Heiress by LiLhyz

Chapter 6: In Front Of Carlos

Kate’s hands turned cold and sweaty. Everyone was standing up, waiting for the doors to the conference room to open. Again and again, she swallowed her own spew. She did it so many times; that she felt her tongue become paper dry.

How the doors opened played in slow motion in Kate’s view. The first person to enter was a tall man with pale skin. He had long and curly blond hair, and he had beautiful green eyes. Alexander smiled at everyone, greeting, “Hello, everybody. It’s nice to see you.”

The next thing Kate heard was the sound of another man’s heels against the tiled floor. She gathered air into her lungs profusely as the door to the conference room further opened. Finally, Carlos walked in. He wore a business suit that stretched nicely against his broad shoulders and chest. He had one of his hands tucked inside his trouser pocket, and his grey eyes scanned the room.

Kate could not deny how he looked breathtaking. Carlo’s hair was fringed up. A few strands fell into his eyes. His skin had that tan, healthy glow that she always loved. After ogling at him, their eyes met. They remained to stare at each other a second longer, with Kate especially held captive by his grey eyes.

“Mister Ronaldo, this is our newest Marketing Director, Miss Kate Wright.” Catrina turned to Kate, introducing the tennis superstars. “Kate, this is Carlos Ronaldo and Alexander Jenkins.”

Half a second passed before Kate managed to speak. She said, “It’s nice to meet you, Mister Jenkins and Mister Ronaldo.”

Kate quickly averted Carlos’ gaze while Catrina introduced the other new director. She did not know how Carlos would react, and she was not ready to see it, either. Aside from Arman and Raffa, there was Molly, the store director. Once the products were reproduced, it was Molly’s job to operate the upcoming boutiques.

“And that completes the team of executives,” Catrina said. “We also have the design team with us today because they were the ones who presented the first line of products.”

“It’s nice to meet everyone,” Carlos spoke. “Starting an apparel company was part of my dream, and each of you will be a vessel for CSK Apparel’s success…”

‘Was it? Or was it mine?’ Kate thought, but then again, if the products mostly catered to men, then perhaps, it was also his.

She listened attentively to Carlos welcoming all the executives while she maintained to look elsewhere. The following person to speak was Alexander. Whatever he was saying, it wasn’t sinking into Kate’s head. All she could hear was the wild beating of her heart.
