66 I am Fierce (1/2)

Zunnie was not ready to head back to meet Nyo and Eyan. She knew the two would still be playing and chatting seeing that Nyo had not seen Eyan recently. To pass the time she decided to tour the company on her own. On her way down, the elevator stopped and a handsome man stepped in. She had seen him before on the cover of a TechU magazine issue but had no idea who he was.

However, she noticed how well dressed and handsome he looked. He was the second attractive man she had laid eyes on after Alex. He wore a well-tailored grey suit with a purple tie and a pair of brown men's loafers. There was a warm and friendly expression in his brown eyes that had been looking back at her. Zunnie felt like his eyes were pulling her in. When she heard the elevator door shut, she nervously cleared her throat and look away briefly to compose herself.

She politely smiled and nodded when she noticed she had not greeted him but had been staring at him. He smiled back at her and said,

”Miss Bai it's nice to finally meet you.”

”I'm sorry, I don't think I know you. Have we met before? ” Zunnie replied a confused expression in her eyes.

”Apologies, I'm Carson Maule, we went to the same high school. It's been a very long time, I did not think you would remember me.” He said and extended his hand to shake hers.

”Oh, so you're Carson Maule...” Zunnie said still baffled that she had no remembrance of him.

”Yes, I am; do you remember me?” He asked her curiously.

”I'm sorry I don't. I've heard your name a few times.”

”Ah, you really don't remember breaking my heart, that hurts.” Carson smiled and touched the area where his heart is.

”Please don't hold what I did when I was younger against me. I apologize for causing you pain.”

”I should thank you. What you said back then made me realize I had only been infatuated with your uniqueness. It changed my view on love and what it means to be in love with someone.”

”Really, you're uhm welcome...” was all Zunnie said before the elevator dinged and come to a stop.
