“Knock! Knock! Knock!”, there was
someone knocking on the door with a
pleasant smile. Everyone in the room was amazed with the guy at the front of
the room except me. The guy was wearing a sleek black shirt with dark blue
jeans and a pair of black sunglasses. I wondered why the girls were so excited
chattering about him estaticly in the back as he made his way to search for a
seat. Suddenly, the guy stopped in front of me. As I looked up, his blue eyes
met mine. Then, I looked at his face carefully. Now I realized, that he was
quite a handsome guy! He had a messy mop of brown hair, cherry blossom lips, a
long-straight sharp nose and the part that I loved the most was his blue aqua
eyes. After a few moment , I saw something waving in front of my face. It was
his hand waving to wake me up from my daydream. My face turned scarlet as I
noticed that I was observing every detail of his face for far too long. He
introduced himself as James, and I introduced myself too. Then, he sat beside
me but I did not welcome his presence at all. Curiosity hits me, I wonder why?
As time moved on, students around the
college kept on talking about James . They called him ‘Hot Stuff’, since he was
famous guy in the college. I could totally confirm that 99% of the girls in the
college wished to be his special girlfriend and another one percent was me,
since I showed no interest when I met him in class. I wondered why again? This
question was always stuck and replaying in my head since I met him. I did not
know why it was so hard for me to be friendly towards him. I admitted that I am
a weird girl who likes to do weird things such as balancing some books that I
brought along on my head because I felt lazy to bring it with my hands. I also
despised hot guys, thus I always ignored and talked to them rudely. Then, I
would regret what I did and hate myself for not being honest towards my own
real feelings. My heart told me to be nice and friendly to James but I did the
total opposite.
James was a genius. He would always
score high marks in tests and now he was selected to be one of the mentors in
my class. When the lecturer asked who wanted to be on James’s group, the class
was like a football stadium. Everybody was shouting their names hoping to be
selected in his group. I really envied him for getting such a great response
and attention from his friends. At last, James was the one who had to decide
himself. I prayed so that my name would not be called but I proved myself
wrong. Again, I wondered why he picked me although I was not one of the people
who raised their hands.
I still remembered the last day I was
in college, I really wanted to apologise and bid farewell James before we part
our own ways. However I still could not fulfil my own request. I still
remembered that he was standing hear his friend’s seat, so I started my way towards
him, but upon reaching him, my legs turned around. I felt like the both of us
were like a pair of magnets with same pole that always repel each other
although we actually wanted to be bestfriends , that would share every sweet
and sorrowful moments together. During my leisure time, my heart forced me to
text or an email to him because I really missed him. Thus, I stared typing a
text asking about his progress but eventually deleted it because I still did
not have the courage to communicate with him. “Arrgh! I hate myself,” I would
scream loudly in my heart.
Another year passed by , and everyone
had their own goals for the year. The same goes to me. My goal was to be the
best employee in my new working place, which was The Shine Holding. A company
that gave happiness and shine the children’s world by innovating and selling
new toys for them. I was really proud to be there because, this company was one
of the biggest and most popular in the country. On my first day of working, I was wearing a soft
pink blouse with a pair of elegant white trousers and I tied my soft, long and
brown hair into a pony tail. Then, I checked my appearance in the mirror, making sure everything was
right for my first day at the new office.
As I was there, the senior manager assistant
named Sara showed me my table. She informed me of some basic information about
the company and said that she was the one who would be in charge of training
me. I was so glad to have such a friendly mentor to help me here. She told me
that I will be positioned as a new personal assistant for their new young and
handsome boss. I giggled at the moment as she said it, and wondered how
handsome my boss would be . During lunch time, Sara invited me to a famous
place that sells mouth-watering dishes for a cheap price. I was really
delighted with the invitation since I was bored doing nothing at my place and
tired of wondering who my boss was. When the elevator door opened, I saw a
handsome guy standing still in front of me. Sara approached him and informed me
that he was my new boss. I was too shocked because I was not prepared mentally
for this. I felt my hands shaking when he smiled gently and introduced himself
as Darren. I tried to control my emotions by taking a deep breath. Then, I
introduced myself to my new boss as Sophie with a friendly smiled and said that
I was really honoured to be working here. After that, Sara and I continued our
way towards the famous restaurant called Food Heaven Restaurant. When we were
on our way there, my mind kept saying that James was more handsome than my
boss. So, although Sara kept teasing me with my boss , I actually felt nothing
special at all. Maybe my heart had been waiting for someone else, but who could
it be?
Lunch time was perfect, I really
enjoyed myself with Sara eating a plate of chicken chop and a glass of
rejuvenating orange juice each. As lunch time was over, we rushed back to our
office because there will be an event for announcing the new CEO of the company
in one hour from now. Thus, we had to give a hand to make sure that the event
will go smoothly, since it would be
broadcasted on television. Everybody was
busy like bees but not me. I tried to
help but they wouldn’t let me because I knew nothing about the event. So, I
decided to sit on my cosy arm chair and read some articles about the
achievement of the company in the company’s magazine called Elite. Then, I
looked around and I saw a familiar guy walking around my department. “This is
impossible!,” I whispered. I tried to examine his face and I was really shocked
to know that the guy was James! Suddenly, my mind cannot think of anything else
but running towards the ladies and hide myself there. Again curiosity hit me, I
wondered if he was following me. Why couldn’t he let me have my own time
without him around? Although my mind kept questioning about him but my heart
kept praising his appearance. He was wearing a smart white tuxedo and bright
red tie. His looks were different because he seemed to be more mature than the
James that I knew before.
As he was
getting nearer and nearer to me, I quickly duck under my table acting like I
was busy searching for something there. Then, I heard the voice that I missed
so much, asking for venue of the event. Unfortunately, I rudely replied that
the event will be held in the Superb Hall and he had to walk straight from here
to reach the hall and I said it without even looking at his face because I was
too shy to do so. At that moment, I realised that I had turned to my old bad
attitude which I wanted to dump them for good but I cannot changed it when the
person that I talked to was James. Then, I wonder who was he working for? Was
he the one of the television’s crew, who was involved in this event? When it
was about 15 minutes left before the event started, I made my way to the Superb
Hall. The hall was superb just like its name. I saw a large, golden and
sparkling chandelier, a stylish red carpet and fresh white and red roses were
nicely arranged on the gigantic stage. I was really impressed with this simple
and modern design concept used by the designer that was in charge.
