The first invitation

“This is Ethan! My boss”

“Hello, nice to meet you!” He approached her handing his hand over to shake hers.

She went closer slowly

“Hey, I am Mia!”

Grace interrupted the moment by inviting Ethan to dinner

“You need to come today, we are doing a feast because of Mia’s arrival, I know you’re a busy man but if you can spare sometime for a lovely dinner, we will appreciate it”

He smiled softly to her and said while excusing himself

“I will do my best! Thank you so much for the invite”

Both of the men left in a hurry and the ladies went upstairs to start unpacking. While on the road Ethan couldn’t help himself but asking:

“Who is she?” He seemed interested so much in her that it was his first time asking about a woman’s identity

“Sorry! Do you mean Mia?”

“Yes!”

“Well! She is my step kido, my wife had a daughter already before we got married, Mia is such a lovely and innocent child! She finished her university and she applied for masters here in the city… so we obliged her to stay with us! Today is her first day moving in with us”

“Ok, I see!”

The rest of the drive to the company was all business talk, they did not discuss any further details concerning Mia. But of course Ethan had his own plans.

Both men had a long good relationship due to the fact that Jack is considered as his right arm because he worked with his father before to built an empire of business for Ethan’s family…

After a long day in meetings and at work, Jack was heading home and he passed by his boss’s office to check:

“Did you consider the dinner invite yet?” He questioned while looking at Ethan from back at the door

“Well! Yes, go ahead I will finish what I have and I will be after you”

Jack left the office and directly went home as it was already late, while Ethan grabbed his phone and called his assistant:

“Did you get what I have asked you to order….ok, Bring it in, I’m leaving”

The door bell rang and there he was, the handsome tall man with his black hair and beard dressing in such elegant way entering the house with a big red bouquet of flowers and one of the most expensive wine bottles.

He searched with his eyes for Mia but she was no where to be found, they invited him and and Jack asked him to go outside for drink near the pool and to enjoy the view.

After a little while, Ethan couldn’t stop himself but to ask:

“Where’s Mia?”

Jack knew that something is going on in his boss’s head because he usually is not interested in anyone and he does not ask these type of questions, so he smirked and replied:

“She is upstairs changing, she had a long day of unpacking so she just finished, she will be down very soon and we can start, if you’re hungry we can start now!”

“No! No I am just asking! We can wait”

He immediately looked away and pretended like he was not curious at all.

“Sorry! I kept you waiting” said Mia

Ethan directly stood up and looked at her with a sexy gaze, he was astonished by her beauty, for him she has the innocent look mixed with a charm that he never saw before, she had a big deep black eyes with a long soft hair that was a little wet when she came down in a rush, she wore long waisted shorts with a silk shirt and all he was able to do was to nod with his head and than he woke up from her charm spell to say:

“Hey, it’s fine! It must’ve been a long day!”

She smiled softly at him and they followed each other to the dining table.
