Chapter 41

He noticed that she was flattered and felt very proud; at the same time she was blushing and was trying to hide it too. He enjoyed watching her and paused for a minute before he continued and noticed her dimple, he felt her dimple added a grace to her, it made her special, and he just liked it. When she blushed, he eyes blushed with her, her eyes can talk, they can mesmerize you or they can burn you, there was so much intensity in them and when she looked up straight into his eyes, they were bright with enthusiasm and honesty and he was able to read her mind as if he were reading her mind and asked her, “If you wish to discuss something about today’s presentation, feel free to, I really don’t mind”.

She was amazed; she thought to herself “he just read my mind”. She wanted to grab this opportunity and bring up a couple of questions she had in mind, but before she could start they were interrupted by one of the organizers. He wanted to talk to Hiram and took him away from the table and she watched them leave the room with a little annoyance that her face couldn’t really hide. He was not seen for a while and since dinner was being served she decided to grab a bite. She joined the line waiting for the buffet, and she noticed him walk back into the room with a pretty petite girl clinging to his arm and was talking to a couple of more folks.

She was not really hungry since she had already had a glass of coke, wine and some water. She helped herself with some salad and a slice of bread for the starter and walked towards her table. She left her food at the table and felt it would be better to empty her bladder thinking that might give her an appetite. She normally doesn’t like to try new things, whether it is food or work or fun. She will take risks after weighing in the possibilities but still prefers to still stick to her boundaries. She prefers to eat light and space out her meals and today was no exception and her salad could vouch for that.
