3. Everybody Wants to Rule the World

                                    

                                          
"It's my own design
It′s my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the most
Of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world"

 -𝔸lright Miss Hamilton let's go. I just want you to feel comfortable, there's no need to be concerned. I will introduce you to your colleagues, and to mister Davis in person. The rest is up to you, but I'm sure you'll strive for a maximum drive in fulfilling job responsibilities.- I bit my lip preventing myself from snorting. I mean, seriously? Striving for a maximum drive in fulfilling job responsibilities? Who talks like that? What does it mean?
As if I'm not nervous enough, I'm also sweating like a pig. Even my perfume won't hide the fact that I'm melting. Mister Davis left an impression and I'm pretty excited to be at his meeting even tho I never met him. His whole attitude screamed dominance, and he looked so capable it's impressive.
My mind is clouded and I followed my boss expressionlessly but when he suddenly stopped and we noticed a man in front of us, my mouth went dry. It's like he's occupating a whole hallway with his built. The grey suit is clinging to his form like it's made for him, and it probably is. His eyes are focused on Arthur but my gaze is locked on him. He has the bluest eyes I've ever seen. The color of his eyes reminds me of the first time I saw the ocean. It was also my first time flying and when the clouds cleared up I looked out my window and saw beautiful deep and blue water. His eyes have the same color and I'm mesmerized by them. The way his eyelashes curl makes him seem mysterious and somehow warm even when his face structure is sharp. His lips are tightened in a line, and I could cut something with his jaw. A short and styled beard makes him even more handsome. My heart is beating loudly, so loud that I'm scared he would hear it. 
-Mister Davis. I was just looking for you. This is Miss Hamilton, I told you about her. She will be a new addition to your team.- Cheerful voice of my boss should make me relax but I'm not because when Mister Davis turned his eyes to mine, all the air vanished from my lungs. With lowered head, I tried to hide my reddening face. Only then I notice his hand in front of me. I am such a clutz. While quickly wiping my sweaty hand on my skirt, I took his hand, not missing the way his mouth curled in a mocking smile. I feel like a schoolgirl.
-My name is Nicholas Davis, nice to meet you miss Hamilton.- His voice holds authority but he sounds bored. Before I could mutter anything, or feel his touch he took his hand back and I noticed him clenching it a couple of times. Oh no... It wasn't sweaty, wasn't it? I mean that was the point of me wiping it. Maybe he's grossed out by that, he now thinks of me as some smelly, sweaty girl. 
-I'm... Nice to meet you too.- I took a long pause before I answered anything and he threw me a quick glance before continuing on his path. As I was about to take a deep breath his voice made me go stiff. 
-Don't be late, you have half an hour.- He didn't even wait or turn around. He just said it and moved on. A light touch on my shoulder brought me back to my senses. I met Arthur's smiling face and I shiver without meaning to. 
-Don't worry. He can be rough but he is a great leader. I'm sure you'll do your best.- His eyes are almost dancing with happiness and something more but I don't want to think about it. It's great that he's so friendly but Arthur is quite older than me, also my boss. It makes me uncomfortable to be so close to him or to feel like we are some pals or whatever. Professional distance would make me feel at ease, so I smiled and took an awkward step away from him. If he noticed my motion of creating a distance he didn't show it. He just continued with me on his tail. As we turned in another hallway, I noticed Virginia walking with some chubby man. They look serious and engaged in conversation so I didn't want to interrupt but Virginia lifted her head and smiled at me.
