That day Tobias arrived late in his office. That of course didn't matter, he was the C.E.O. of Dauntless Inc. Today his new assistant was arriving and he was doubtful. Since Lauren left two years ago, no one was able to deal with the company. New assistant at least once a week and Tobias was sick of it. But of course there was Christina. She persuaded him to give just one more girl a chance and then she'll leave him alone. He leaned back in his black leather chair and thought about his life. He was a C.E.O. of Abnegation Inc., his father's company, before he arrived here. Of course, he never spoke of that. His alleged father was abusive, to say the least and once his mother left them, he quit and got this job. He was a sort of a legend in Dauntless, becoming the C.E.O. in only four months. Despite that he never felt like he belonged there, he never thought of his position as something he earned, to him it was just luck. He was sick of this job and he wanted to leave, he was sure he would in a couple of weeks, after the next assistant leaves he leaves after her. Yes, that's what he's going to do. His mind was set. Little did he know he wouldn't go through with it.
Tris was also late which was completely unusual for her. She was never late. She learned that in her last company. But she was late. On her first day. She runs through the door and up to the 15th floor as she was instructed. Walking out of the black glass elevator she stopped to look around. Room around her was decorated black and grey, almost all of the walls were made of black glass. It was dark, yet full of light. She straightened out her black tight dress when a short black haired women came up to her.
„You're Beatrice Prior, right?" the woman asked her.
„Yes." she responded carefully „I'm late, I'm sorry."
„You're lucky Four isn't here yet. I'm Christina. One tip, never, ever ask him his real name. No one knows it and no one ever will, I learned it the hard way." she said smiling and turned around, her hand motioning for me to follow. Maybe this wasn't going to be so bad.
„Oh and one more thing," she stopped, her face serious, her eyes somewhat concerned „don't fall for him. He's hot, he's sexy and every woman here knows it. He never dates. He never had a girlfriend and that mostly what destroyed every girl before you. He either won't admit it or doesn't see it, but they left because of his rejection. Don't do the same. I – Never mind. Just don't." after the tour she left me in my office. It wasn't as big as Four's but it was big. Christina's words kept replaying in her mind and she was determined not to ruin this opportunity. Her thoughts were interrupted by a man leaning on the door.
„So you're the new girl." he said, his voice low. She jumped up from her chair and walked over to the man. He was tall, lean and masculine, his head hovering above hers. He was at least six feet tall and she was barely five foot four. His hair was short and black, his nose was hooked but her eyes lingered on his. Navy. Unlike any other. That second she knew why girls fell for him. Tearing her look away she mumbled a soft yes. Right there she realised he was worth ruining the opportunity.
His eyes took in her figure. She was short but strong. She wasn't curvy or beautiful. She was so much more. And her eyes. He longed for one more look, just so he could see those big, beautiful blue grey eyes. Her blond hair fell in waves down her back and his eyes lingered on black ink. Three black birds flew on her left collarbone. Her every feature fascinated him. She was unlike anyone else. He knew she was unique. Her eyes looked at him and her cheeks reddened. She was definitely something. They stood like that for a few minutes before she put out her hand and a soft voice escaped her perfect lips.
„Tris. So you must be Four?" the last word killed him. He wanted her to say his name, he wanted her to get to know him, he wanted her.
„Don't. Don't call me that." he said, his fingers unconsciously brushing a blond lock behind her ear.
„What should I call you then?" she asked him softly. He knew he shouldn't tell her his name even though his heart wanted to tell her his biggest secret.
„Nothing yet. You'll find out some day." he told her before turning around and closing the door behind him. Something happened in there that his mind hadn't yet processed. He just knew he didn't want to loose this girl, he knew all he needed in his life was her. He must have been standing there for more then a minute because soon Christina was there, asking him what the problem was. He shook his head as if saying how there was nothing wrong at all before walking past her and mumbling two words to her. Thank you. She was left there in the middle of the hall not knowing what had just happened. Then again she never knew what was happening with Four.
