At work, Christian couldn't stop himself from thinking about Savi. This woman effected a major part of his life ever since he laid his eyes on her. He tried to focus on his work by turning his attention to his computer, going through all his files and folders and with all the workloads, he hoped can at least distracted him that morning. A minute later, his secretary rang in, "Hello Mr Grey, I learned here that you did scheduled an appointment with Ms Steele. She's already here. Would you like to meet her now?" Christian held his breath in surprise. He totally forgotten that the meeting he scheduled was today. He had been so absorbed with his obsession on her that this meeting had an overwhelming effect on him.
He staggered towards the phone and replied, "Ask her to come in and wait for 10 minutes after I finish!" He hung up the phone and went to his bathroom. He stood by the wash basin and splashed the cool water to his face. It didn't exactly lower down the heat but at least it will help him nevertheless.
He shut the bathroom door and went back to clear up his things on the desk and rang back his secretary, "Ask her to come in, now!" he demanded. He looked at his reflection on the mirror; grey suits matched up with his lighter shade of lavender shirt and grey necktie. Almost perfect, he seemed ready and confident to meet her now.
As Savi walked into his office after a knock on the door, he sworn to God he got his breath caught off. Savi was dressed in the gorgeous lavender suit jacket complete with her knee-length short skirt complimenting her savvy yet sexy look. She put on a regency blouse underneath, which could be because she don't want him to stare at her curve too much. Her hair was pinned up sensibly to make her looked like she dressed up for meeting not otherwise.
She began to pull out something from her gold handbag and she noticed that he was looking at her legs in one long swoop. She quickly sat cross-legged hoping that nothing underneath that would made his wild imagination wandered off further. She handed him her business card and started presenting her business profile including the services she offered and so on. If it was someone else doing that babbling, he had already shut him off in just few minutes. But it's Savi, whom he admired for so long and now they're both alone. He knew he shouldn't had passed on the chances to get closer to her, besides indulgences was a good thing once in a while.
Christian blinked and held his hand, " Alright, I've heard much, thank you and let's discussed about your position here." Savi gasped, she couldn't believed that he accepted her just like that.
She panted, "Are you sure? I haven't get to my finest points yet!" She sat there trembling as she never been accepted without prior two more presentation. She was sure enough that she was getting a cold feet. She glanced at Christian who still smiling at her, and looking at her files.
Christian rose from his chair and walked towards her, "Alright Ms Steele. I think you got your job here. We in dire need of good documentation and translation services which only you could offer. So, can you start tomorrow?" He held his hand for a handshake.
Savi rose from her hair and shook his hand, "Then, I'll better get going. See you tomorrow Mr Grey." When she brushed against him on her way to the door exit, he caught her wrist.
He gave a sly smile and looked at her directly into her eyes,"Don't call me Mr Grey. Just call me Christian. It'll better." He released her after he noticed her few attempts to escape his grip.
Savannah was really close to loose all her emotion when Christian started pinning her to the wall. They wanted each other but the times didn't seemed so right. She let out a sighed as she walked along the corridor, entering the elevator that taking her down to the lobby. Inside the elevator, she caught up with the restlessness that clawed inside her and she couldn't stop thinking of Christian's bare hands roaming over her skin until she almost cried desperately to have him with her right there. She lazily staggered out of the elevator and slumped herself on the couch, releasing her hair from the pin. She hesitantly punched in the words to form a message which she desperately want to send to him "I want to see you in your office after work." She blinked and cancelled the message and shut her message box off. At that very moment she received a message which she never expected, from Christian.
Dear Savannah,
Meet me after work tonight in my office, I had a lot to talk about and we could grab something to eat after that.
Dearest,
Christian Grey
She switched off the phone and walked away heading towards the nearby cafe. She needed a strong caffeine to distract her mind a little bit. Her extreme sexual frustration was messing up with her mind today, big time. Maybe she could relaxed and found something else to be busy with before Christian finished his work today. She'll be looking forward to meet him tonight.
Suddenly she noticed Darien from behind her and he was walking with a woman beside him. She didn't get a close look but that blonde seemed familiar. She hurried towards the corner of the building and spied on them. He cheated on her with another woman and yet he dared to even expressed his love to her. Fuck you Darien Shields!
Savi quickly went back to her table and started ordering her meal. She never had been this much pissed off since their first date and right now, he clearly didn't mind cheating on her openly. She made up her mind, if he could do that to her she could sworn to God that even she could do even better.
The clock had already shown it's 5:30 pm and Christian just finished meeting with his Arabian clients and he already anxiously waited for Savi to come to his cabin. While waiting he cleared out all his files from his computer and getting ready to shut down. He decided that he would go into personal matters for the next meeting and he didn't care if she felt offended. He had put so much restraint into himself this whole week so it better be or nothing. He headed straight outside and winked at his secretary hinting that he'll be back afterwards. The secretary quickly cleared up her desk and packing up to go home straight at 5:45 pm. As he reached the elevator, he messaged Savi, "I'll meet you in the cafe in few minutes, I'm in the elevator right now. Catch up with you later!" He smiled after he sent the text messages as he knew she would be thrilled to have him.
Savi noticed a tall, muscular and handsome guy walking directly towards her and she gasped, "Hi, you here early than I expected!" She couldn't hid her excitement at seeing but she also too obvious in showing her frustration.
Christian sat next to her and eventually leaned towards her, "What happened just now. Anything upset you?" He cocked his head and nodded at the waiter. The waiter walked shyly towards them. Christian ordered them both cheeseburgers and fries. Savi was completely undertaken by the fact that this wealthy man could eat such junk food.
Savi hissed, "I thought you are the kind that won't dine in a McDonalds or something." She picked up her napkin and put it on her lap.
He settled himself more by leaning on the chair, "Why not?I think I should change my diet once in a while." He smirked at her.
Savi sipped her drink, "True, but don't you feel sad you might loose that great body of yours by indulging with such unhealthy eating habit?" She made a small sighed while playing with the straw inside of her drink.
Christian leaned closer and teased, "Regret that you might missed seeing it, that give me an idea!" Savi straightened herself and slapped his hand. He regained his composure and concentrated on his meal. This woman had such effect on him and he determined to know what caused her to be so frustrated the moment he saw her. The feel to pull her closer into his arms to comfort her pained him till now.
Christian chuckled, "All right, work aside. You'll be scheduled to meet a representative from our Japanese client tomorrow afternoon and the Korean representative later in the evening. But don't need to worry as I will escort you so you just focused on the paperwork and conversation with them only." He explained in details on her job scope and her responsibilities. He took out his Ipad and scratched something on it and she heard her phone beeped.
Savi stunned at the process, "How did you do that?" She gaped at him while holding her phone.
Christian dangled his Ipad at her, "I told you earlier, the power of technology!" She noticed that one of his hand crept to his neck as he unfastened his necktie and pulled it off entirely from his neck. He also had started to unbutton the collar of his shirt, revealing a glimpse of his muscular chest. Her diet went off and all she could think was if he'll going to ravish her right here in front of all people. She shook her head at the ridiculous thought.
She gulped the rest of her drink and got up, gathered her things and hinted at him, "So, shall we go now?I hated to start late because I don't want to go back late." He sipped the drink till it was empty and joined her where both made their way to the elevator together.
Soon as both managed to make their way to Christian's huge coveted cabin, Savi let out a sigh. He turned to look at her with a raised eyebrow, "What's wrong now?" She leaned on the huge mahogany door and witnessed the spectacular view of New York City from where she was standing.
She smiled, "I guess I never experienced such luxury before. It was an extreme transition for me." She walked slowly to Christian's desk and looked around the place. Then, in sad tone she confessed, "I'm sorry for my rude action towards you earlier last week. I just got a bit emotional and I snapped. I hoped you didn't take it the wrong way."
Christian led her to the couch where he brought along two glasses of champagne and handed one to her. They cheered and each sipped on their drinks. Christian put down his glass and edged himself closer to her. He took her hand and clasped his hand together, "I don't really know how to put this but I really regret the way my best friend treat you. You deserve to have better than what lies in front you right now."
Savi blinked at his statement, "What do you mean?" She shook her head and stared at him with disbelief. He rubbed his chin with his fingers and sighed frustratedly. He didn't know how to express his feeling to her but he wanted her to know right now. He knew he was treading on dangerous ground right now. Savi however dreaded at his answer.
He pushed a strand of his hair back and leaned on the couch, took a deep breath and exhale before he started, "I be frank with you. I just hope you won't disgust with me after you heard this. But, despite my friendship with him I rather swear to God that I am in love with you." Every word he spoke felt like a wax of candle pouring into every fiber of her consciousness. Why she never noticed, he had been respectful, flirtatious and careful with her for a reason. She stunned for a second, processing hundreds of thoughts. He continued, "I don't know much about this but I knew that I can't convince you after all. I'm just the same thugs as my buddy was."
Savi looked away and said, "How long has you been...I mean with this feeling?" She needed to hear everything.
Christian shuddered at her question, cleared his throat and answered, "After the first time you smacked me across my face. I was determined to teach you a lesson on that time and it turned out to be the thing I least expected. I've fallen hard on you."
