Eric's POV:
I checked the official page of Le Elegance where people were congratulating me and Chase.
I scrolled down the comments of our couple photo together.
Omg they're are so perfect.
I wish I could marry either of them.
Hoooooot!
Wohooooo..yaaasss...
Eric, Mr. Knight's sassy b***h
Chase, Eric's knight
Marry me Chase
Chase ❤️❤️
My heart is because of Chase
No
Eric is so cute
Chase is hot as ever
I kept my phone away after I was done. It's been few days already and I have been asked by Chase to report at the office.
Apparently, he's interested in my design and wants to collab with me.
Well, its nothing particularly special.
In office, Chase and I have a professional relationship. Even though people know about us but Chase hates mixing professional life with personal.
Actually he's a whole different person when he's working.
The CEO of Le Elegance, and one of the top designers of the country.
The jewellery he designs are of the premium quality.
Well, I kinda feel lucky to be working under him even though he's an asshole and never misses a chance to bully me.
But that's how he usually is, so what do I say?
I'm somewhat used to it.
***************
I entered Chase's room without knocking.
The number one rule of this office:
Never enter the CEO's cabin without knocking
Well the rules don't apply to me anyways.
"What the?" I yelled out in disbelief when I saw a girl on Chase's lap and trying to kiss him but Chase was shoving her away
She was supposed to me our jewellery model
"Ms. Jenna, you may leave. We need a jewelry model, not a pornstar." I said as I dragged her over at once and threw her out of the cabin and slammed the door on her face
"Hey, I didn't do anything." Chase tried to explain but I dodged the topic
"None of my business, back to work." I muttered without even looking at him
This is a one year agreement and I'm just abiding by the rules. One of the rules is to not interfere with Chase's personal life.
"Hey! Get me a coffee." He said as he threw a pen cap at me
Whenever we are alone, he gets back to his bully mode.
I rang the bell on his desk and his assistant came in.
I placed order for his coffee making him growl.
After sometime, his pestering continued
He was making paper planes out of documents and throwing them at me
Like seriously?!
"For God's sake Chase! I'm trying to work!" I yelled because I am redrawing my designs over and over but none of them seem to suit my tastes
He was about to say something but the door knock interupted
"Come in." Chase said changing his tone immediately as I continued with my work
"Sir, the rest of the judges are here and they wish to have a talk with you." Chase's female assistant Clara said and Chase nodded as he got ready to meet them.
Chase got out leaving Clara and me in the cabin
"How are things going?" She asked as she looked over my designs
"I can't do it." I muttered
"In order to certify as a designer for Le Elegance you have to get the approval of our board members. This competition is where you gain it.
Many people apply but only the best are chosen.
Since Sir has chosen you, I trust his judgement.
Have faith in yourself." She said as she rubbed my back
Clara, Chase's assistant
She has been there even since Chase took over.
She's nothing like the female around Chase
She's really beautiful with her tanned skin and hair which reaches her waist.
A well and sophisticated appearance and the minimal amount of make-up. A natural beauty in her 20s.
But a beauty with brains. Actually the deserving one for the position.
I feel outcasted at such a big company but she's there to comfort me.
She is Chase's friend and actually the only person who can set him straight and is like a big sister to me.
"Here." She said as she handed me a chocolate smiled at her
"Dark chocolate reduces stress or so I read somewhere on the net." She said
"Thankyou." I muttered making her smile
"Call me if you need something." She said before closing the door
I looked at the designs before me
"Alright Eric, get back to work. You can do this!"
I took my sketching kit and scattered everything around and started working on a single piece of paper trying my best to create a unique design.
"No.." I said as I folded the paper and threw it away and took a new one and started over
Soon the piles of paper increased but I kept trying.
"Finally!" I said when I happily stared at the completed piece of my design
This will surely suit his taste.
I thought about Chase and I was actually pretty excited to show him the design right away.
I actually ran all the way in the corridors with my design
"Sorry!" I said as I bumped into a man
"It's fine."she said
My documents were scattered and so were hers
I kneeled down to pick them up and so did she.
"Thank you." She said as she walked away immediately
I picked up my design and started walking but something ticked me off.
I never saw this woman around the office.
Ah, what am I thinking? I'm new here myself.
I shook off the thoughts and continued my steps.
Third person POV:
The woman who bumped into Eric hurriedly made her way to the lift.
As soon as she got out of the office, she made a phone call
"Didn't get the work done but we have something better." She smirked
She remembered how she was about to sneak into the CEO's cabin but stopped her steps immediately after she saw Eric getting out.
But she saw he was holding a paper which had the logo of Le Elegance
It definitely had to be the design for the competition.
She bumped on him purposely and when Eric was picking up the documents she took the chance and clicked a picture of the design using her phone and rushed out as fast as she could.
