Can you mend my broken heart?

As she came out from the bathroom, wrapped in nothing but a cotton towel, Raymond couldn't help himself from staring at her slender figure and well-toned legs.

She looked at him gawking at her and smiled and then with a teasing voice she said,

"Don't look at me like that right now. I am getting late".

"Your legs look pretty toned. Started working out to impress guys or what?"

"It's the result of excessive walking and running on eggshells, courtesy you."

"Me?"

"Yeah, I am dying running around in all those stilettos acting like a boss lady. I miss my shoes so much".

"I see", he said and then taking a deep breath he helped to set the breakfast for her on the table. All her stuff had been brought in into Raymond's room already.

Taking a bite of the apple that was kept on the table he said,

"You eat and go to the meeting. I will freshen up. Let's meet for lunch together".

Akira took a deep breath and then said,

"This is the last meeting that I am doing. Now you better come back and join as soon as possible. I don't think I can handle this charade anymore".

"You are handling it perfectly and dare I say that somehow I am kinda liking this boss lady more and more".

Akira gave him a scornful look and then pushed him into the bathroom and then quickly started getting ready.

She put on a light grey shirt and a charcoal dark grey pencil skirt to go with it. She was running all around, looking at her papers and taking a bite of food every now and then. Then she finally put on her velvet grey stilettoes and marched towards the bathroom door.

She gently banged on the bathroom door and said,

"When are you gonna come out? I am getting late".

Raymond switched off the shower and then yelled from inside,

"You go ahead. I will come down later and pick you up for lunch".

"Ok", said Akira and grabbed her bag to leave for the meeting, but she halted as she saw him come out of the bathroom.

He was wrapped in just a towel and she could clearly see that he had come out all rushed for her, as his entire body was still wet. Water was dripping all over his chest trickling down from his hair.

He looked nothing less than a Greek God and her throat started to get all dried up.

He inched closer and gave a soft peck on her cheeks and said,

"Rock it !!! And wrap it up soon. I will be waiting for you", and saying that he smiled and opened the door for her.

She was completely lost, seeing him looking all sexy and hot and charming at the same time. Gulping her spit, she took a deep breath and said,

"See you soon".

And then she left for the meeting.

The executives of Azmer group were already seated in the meeting room and were waiting for her.

The meeting was important to Akira because she needed their technology for one of their new games that as being developed by Delphie. The main crux was to come to a conclusion for the contract as per the terms that her company had devised.

She had to pitch her idea and make it look viable to them so as to get their services at as low cost as possible. So it was important for her presentation to go well.

She had prepared well.

She had all her statistics and numbers ready.

All that she had to do was to make her pitch nothing less than perfect.
