She smiled and shook hands with him “welcome Mr Torello” Camella chimed, acting really professional. She couldn't take her eyes away from Andre from the moment he stepped out of the elevator.
She can guess that it's not only her. She saw how Mary, her secretary, was staring at him and how she hugged him tightly as if she would merge into him. Such a good looking guy was definitely going to attract the admiration of the ladies.
“Thank you ma'am” Andre appreciated.
“Get everyone ready, there's going to be a cocktail party to welcome Mr Torello back” Fred Maxwell announced and instructed that he wants the news of it to go viral to all the employees.
Andre was dazed. A welcome party simply because he was away for a few weeks? This was getting too elaborate than he can accommodate. He shook his head and wanted to refuse it when Camella stopped him.
“Don't get yourself bothered unnecessarily Andre” Camella said, indicating that she knows he was going to refuse the party. Seeing that Andre sighed helplessly, she continued “Please come along”
She led the way into her office and Andre followed. As he got in, the whole scenario of what happened that day played before him. He actually walked out of that office amidst the company's securities before being handed over to the police.
The slap from Jack Johnson and the foul words used on him was still so fresh in his memory. He wants to hate Camella but she'd gone out of her way to ensure he returned. The past has to be forgotten.
“Take your seat” Camella instructed while going to sit down on her swivel chair, behind the large mahogany desk. Andre appreciated and sat down. Camella got down to work, calling a certain person and then asking Fred Maxwell to sit down.
“Thank you Andre for honouring my invitation. The Wood's Electroworld is pleased to have you here as our partner…” Camella welcomed him.
It wasn't long, a representative from the legal department arrived. The contract was brought. The two parties read it and Andre was surprised at what he was partnering with the Wood's Electroworld for.
He'd thought he'll partner with them as an engineer and then train other engineers to be good like himself but he realised that he was also going to be the procurement manager of all automobiles and electro gadgets and coupling them.
He raised his head and glanced at Camella. For some seconds, they both stared at each other. Camella knows why he was staring at him but chooses not to say a word to him before others.
On the other hand, Andre was wondering why she offered him such generous opportunities under the umbrella of her company? There must definitely be an underlying reason behind it. He hopes she wouldn't step out one day and ask him things that would jeopardize the benefits of this offer?
“If you're alright with the contract and have no other questions, we can just go ahead and sign” she's so super excited to see him again. After parting with him the previous day, her happiness evaporated. It was only after she spent time with her nanny, did she feel happy again.
And seeing him now, the gush of excitement returned to her and her belly felt like it had been rampaged. And now, the surety of seeing him always was even more pleasing.
“Yeah, sure” Andre nodded and took the golden pen, signing his portion of the contract and Camella did the same. The legal representative affixed the court stamp on it and the document became a legal binding.
A copy was kept back by the legal team and a copy was handed over to Andre. Once again all of them present congratulated Andre including Camella.
“I feel greatly relieved. Going to the basketball court now would not be necessary” Fred Maxwell mumbled under his breath and Andre pretended to be taken aback.
“Have you been coming over because you want to win me back?” Andre asked and Fred Maxwell shrugged and added “even going further than that, Andre. Miss Camella suddenly became obsessed with you”
“Oh gosh!” Andre jokingly exclaimed.
“Fred” Camella called. She had to caution him not to spill the other adventure she'd embark upon, just so as to bring Andre back.
Fred raised both of his hands, surrendering and Camella eyed him before sighing softly.
Andre was taken to his office by Fred Maxwell. He told him how things haven't been the same since he left. The company has lost thousands of dollars because of their inability to supply requested goods,
Andre was quiet and only sighed at intervals. He's glad he didn't have to explain to them the importance of his role and duty but then, he still finds it difficult that other mechanical engineers were not good at coupling things together and bringing out a product.
As he walked into his new vast office, he glanced at the window and saw Camella by the window staring down at him. It's a different building at an angle to each other. His office was on the second building, on the top floor but a step lower than the CEO building.
He stood, just staring at her and she was doing the same. Her gaze was tender and friendly. She smiled and Andre did the same. Fred just stood by the sidelines, watching them both. It appears they do not see anyone else except each other.
Camella is engaged but he could tell that she's showing signs of someone who is in love. During the period they visited Andre at the basketball court down to the previous evening, her words and the emptiness she confessed to, in the absence of Andre, could only mean one thing; Love.
But he doesn't know if Andre feels the same way about her. He saw from the sidelines as Andre turned away and shoved the feeling off. “I wish the window wasn't located here” he heard him mumble.
As Andre returned to the CEO's office, they were both alone and he decided to ask the question that has been bothering him from the moment he saw the contract.
“Miss Wood, why did you offer me such a generous opportunity? There are better people who are interested in such a partnership, why did you offer it to me?” He asked. “Is there something you want in return?” He mumbled this last question in his mind.
Camella stood up and walked over, she stood before him and gently walked round and stood behind him. She doesn't understand but she felt her thighs throb standing so close to Andre and staring at him from the back, her pu**y pulsate.
“What do you want from me, Camella?” Andre blurted, feeling uncomfortable with the tension in the atmosphere between them.
“You, Andre!I want you!” Camella whispered, drawing closer to him and almost touching him….
