Chapter 6
Aaliyah's Pov
I'm walking to the elevator now because we're going home, but I plan to stop by Lyca's condo because I'm worried about her especially for what happened this morning.
I was in front of the elevator and pressed down. One was still taking a while so I looked at the other elevator and it was close to our floor so I just moved and waited for it.
It took almost one minute before it reached the floor where I was.
When the elevator opened, I saw the only man on it.
I stared at his face.
I freeze the moment I stared at him.
I can't step.
I can't move.
It was like my whole body suddenly froze so I couldn't step inside.
'Will you ride?' A voice that made my whole body tremble even more. The strength of my chest beat. His voice, which I will never forget until now.
'I want you'
'You are so beautiful'
'Can I see you again?'
Some of his words suddenly sank into my brain.
'Miss?' I heard what he said so I came back to reality.
'A--ahh s-sorry' I said as I forced myself to step inside. BecauseĀ if I don't ride, he might notice me more, he might think of something else so I chose to just act normal.
I didn't hear anything he said when I entered. He's just seriously looking at the front.
I'm totally weak. My knees are shaking.
Lord help me.
Silence prevailed inside while the elevator was slow!
T__T
I was near the door, while he was behind me so I don't know if he was staring at me or what, just asking during our time, someone gets on, or he has already gotten off, or I feel like I just want to get off to get rid of the tension and nervousness that I feel during this time.
This is not the feeling I expected to feel, so why am I feeling this way!
Calm down Aaliyah!
I'm not just nervous.. I'm not nervous...
'Are you okay?' I almost fell due to the weakness of my knees, especially when he suddenly broke the silence inside the elevator. And I'm disgusted with myself why I'm acting like this!
'A-ahh y-yes sir' I stammered without looking at him. even my tongue is twisted! Damn you self, fix yourself!
He must have noticed that I was holding the handle of the elevator. But I hope he doesn't notice that my knees are shaking.
'Do you know me?' He asked again. Shit, he has so much hanash, why doesn't he want to be quiet?!
'A-aah NO! I DON'T KNOW YOU SIR!' I think what I said was a bit exaggerated. I hope the earth swallows me.
T___T

Someone's Pov:
From the moment the woman entered the elevator, Daniel didn't know what to feel. He knew the first time he saw the woman's face, it was the one he wanted to see again.
He didn't expect to see her again, and in their company.
But now, he doesn't know what to do, if he should ask her, if she and the girl in his mind are the same. He tried to calm down at this moment and watched her back. In his mind, he can't be wrong.
It's her
He noticed her poor standing, and the woman's being uneasy which made her look like she was weak so she grabbed the handle of the elevator.
He immediately asked her if she was okay. But he didn't even look at her. He thought that maybe he recognized him too but she had no intention of introducing herself and showing herself.
Damn..
He whispered to himself.
'Do you know me?' He dares to ask here.
'A-aah NO! I DON'T KNOW YOU SIR!' He was a little surprised because he exaggerated his response to her question and because of this, he further proved that she knew him and had no plans to introduce herself to him!
What's with her? Only in his mind. That's why he plans to talk to her. He was confused by the woman's behavior.
'Why are you here?' He asked the woman seriously but she did not answer.
There was a long silence, and the woman almost had no plan to answer him and focused more on the elevator screen as if she wanted to get out at any time and escape from the situation they were in now.
He also looked up at the small screen of the elevator and noticed that they were close to the ground floor.

Daniel's Pov
Damn this girl. So she has no intention of confronting me and pretends that she doesn't know me.
Fine.
I pulled her hands and now she's facing me with her nervous face.
Its really her.
She's very pale and she's shaking. What the hell? Is it because of me?
But why?
'S-ssir b-let me go' she said as she took her hand back from me. I noticed her lace and now I know why she's here. So all this time, she's one of my employees?! Fuck
'What's your problem?!' I said to her in a serious tone. I feel irritated to think that she's the only fucking girl ignoring me.
'What do you mean?' She answered. So she really wants to ignore me.
'You know me. That's you. You can't fool me. When did you work here?' I asked her.
.....
Aaliyah's Pov
Gone. I don't think I can escape it anymore. I have to face it. But I really need to calm down.
'You know me. That's you. You can't fool me.' It's a serious question. And I feel that he will not stop me.
I can't answer.
'When did you work here?' He said again.
'It's only been one week.' I said politely but I wasn't looking at him. I can't look him in the eyes.
:(
'I was looking for you' he said in a calm word causing me to look at him.
I was wondering. What did he mean.
I was surprised when the elevator suddenly opened. We were already at the bottom. There were people waiting and going to take our elevator, but they suddenly backed away. maybe because they saw the man I was with now.
I was about to go out when he suddenly pulled me. I was surprised but I also saw the shock of those employe.. who would have thought that the CEO here in the company would be using our elevator.
'Take the other one' he said seriously to them and then kept pressing the close button. I saw the shocked faces of those people before they finally closed. the elevator.
I tried to press the open button but I didn't win because he kept pressing the close button.
'Let's talk' He said as he pressed the up button firmly and then he pressed the number thirty five. We were just getting close. at times that's why my knee shakes more and more.
'Where are we going? I'm going home, sir,' I said to him with irritation and faced him. I plucked up the courage to speak as the elevator went up again.
'You remember me, right?' He asked.
I don't know what to answer. Why am I still here with him now, I know there is a VIP elevator just for him but why did he ride here?!
'No' I answered. I'll try again in case he believes.
'whu can't you look at me in the eyes?' He said that's why I looked at him.
I stared at him with my blank face.
'Yes, I know you. You are our CEO. So, sir, I hope after you go up, I'll come down because I have to go home,.' I told him. I lied.
He didn't react to what I said. He was just looking at me seriously, in my eyes. We stared at each other for a long time but I couldn't take it so I was the first to avoid it.
I can't read him.
What does he need from me to force me to remember him? What exactly does he want?
Damn!
(In his office)
'Why are you avoiding me?' He broke the silence between the two of us.
I still can't answer.
Until the elevator opened again, indicating that we were on the floor of his office.
We went out together, I just turned my head, because I had to think about what to say to him.
'Sir, you have forgotten something' said the voice of a woman who I guess was his secretary.
'No.' He said to her and he just grabbed my arms and entered his office. Before he could completely close the door, I saw the surprised face of his secretary. I didn't object because I didn't want to create a commotion and his secretary would even notice it. I have studied so I know how to be a professional sometimes.
'Sit down' he said in a serious tone, as he pointed to the couch in his office.
Actually, his office is very big and beautiful, but I can't be amazed right now. This is not the perfect timing.
I can't stand it anymore. There is no way to hide from him because I know that no matter what I do now, he won't believe me.
'It's me. But you don't need to worry about me anymore. Also, I am here to work for your company and I need this work, You are my boss. It was just a mistake what happened to us, so let's forget about it,' I told him.
We have to finish this.
