Olivia sat at her desk as usual. Her brown eyes, were glued to the computer screen in front of her as she read the draft of an article to be published.

26 year old Olivia Pope worked in the Marketing Department of Grant Industries. She has been working here for about six months and is currently in the best phase of her life, career wise. Everything else was, what do you say, stable.

Just as she was reaching the end of the article, somebody peeped into her cubicle startling her.

"Jeez. Jake!" She says, her mouth slightly open and her nostrils flared.

"Relax." He says laughing.

Jake Ballard is Olivia's co-worker and also an annoying flirt. Olivia ignored him in the beginning, but is now slightly warming upto him as a friend.

"Get up, we're all to go to the conference room up. Boss has a new announcement. Rumour is he's finally making his son the CEO" Jake says rolling his eyes.

"He has a son?" She wonders and debates whether she should give in and engage in office gossip,because Olivia has no clue what's happening around her in her office.

"We? I thought only senior employees went to these things" Olivia asks confused.

"I have no idea. Stacy told all of us to be there in 10 mins"

Stacy Becker was the head of their Marketing Department. She was a total pain in the ass. No to be rude but she was going through a divorce, and was putting out her frustrations on her employees.

"Alright then, you get going. I'll follow you" Olivia says getting up from her chair but her eyes still reading the article in a rush.

"Okay, see you there" says Jake as he leaves.

Olivia opens her hair which was previously tied in a low knot, and brushes her hair with her fingers although her whole focus is on the computer. She reads the last line frantically and hits send on the screen and breathes out in relief.

Looking at the clock ahead, she rushes to open her bag to find her pocket mirror and sees if she looks okay. She applies a coat of lipstick and sticks her hair behind her ear on one side and then walks out after being satisfied with the way she looks.

She reaches the elevators and sees all are occupied and realises that she's late and that she should've been there in the conference room by now. She thinks about going back but then if Stacy notices her absence she'll be in trouble and so waits. She thinks about climbing the stairs but she's in no way climbing eleven flights of stairs.

The elevator finally dings and she gets in and the journey up to the floor seems to take a lifetime. Once it reaches the concerned floor, she practically jumps out of it and strides fast to the conference room.

She notices nobody outside and realises everybody's already inside and it would be really awkward to enter now, but with no other choice, she slowly pushes the door open. A few heads turn back but not enough to cause her embarrassment. She spots Jake and immediately walks with her head down to where he's standing, conscious not to bring any attention to herself.

Jake turns around and smiles at her, putting her at ease.

Olivia sees Stacy staring at her.

"You're late" she mouthes in a whisper.

"Sorry" Olivia says nervously.

After a few seconds she finally calms down, the adrenaline fades away and she begins to notice her surroundings. As she looked around, a certain pair of blue eyes catch her attention and surprisingly it takes her few seconds to realise who that person is.

She nervously looks away before looking back, only to find those eyes staring at her, this time with more curiosity. Olivia feels strange and looks away but can't help herself from looking at him again. Only, this time his attention wasn't on her. She felt a weird mix of relief and disappointment, which disappeared as soon as their boss finally started to speak.

"I thank all of you for leaving your important work behind and coming up here for a few minutes." The old man began to speak.

"I don't believe in speeches and so I will get right to the point"

"As you know, Fitzgerald Grant is my son." He says gesturing to a tall, handsome man standing next to him.

Fitzgerald Grant. Olivia says in her head before looking into his blue eyes again. How come, she had never seen him here before? She wondered as her thoughts were interrupted again.

"You may have heard, you may have speculated. And I'm only here to confirm that. From now on, my son is the sole owner and CEO of Grant Industries." He says before turning to his son and enveloping him in a hug.

The whole room erupts in cheers and congratulations. Olivia too joins them in clapping, all the while looking at Fitzgerald was no denying that he wasn't good-looking. That would be an understatement. He was probably the most good-looking person she'd seen in her life. She almost felt guilty for not thinking about her boyfriend even once before saying that statement in her head, but it was the truth. No denying.

She saw him move forward and the room became silent.

"Thank you" He begins."Thank you all for being here. Grant Industries has been a pioneer in innovation under my father's guidance for the last 40 years and I'm here to further the legacy that he leaves behind today. It's an honour to head this company and be among all of the hardworking people who continue to make the company better, day after day." He says and gives her a look and at this point Olivia's really confused if he's staring at her or she's hallucinating all this.

Her thoughts are interrupted when she sees a tall,slim brunette walk upto him and kiss him on the lips. He seemed surprised but doesn't make it very apparent. Of course, he's married, Olivia thinks as she notices the ring on his finger.

She sees him pull back from his wife and give his wife a tight lipped smile.

The room fills with more clapping and appreciation and congratulations before she notices his eyes on her, again.

And at this point, she's pretty sure she's hallucinating.
