Is this destiny?

"Ma chéri, you are amazing!", Felix exclaimed as soon as door closed behind Mark. Felix stood up and walked toward Sophia with his arms open, ready to embrace her.

She raised her hand in front of her, indicating him to stop.

Felix stopped in his tracks, and his face fell. He was pouting like a child with his arms still suspended in the air.

Sophia could not keep a straight face seeing him like that, and she laughed. "You are a grown man, why are you sulking like that?"

Sophia walked to her desk, picked up her phone and said in a serious voice, "No one is to enter without an appointment. If something like this happens again, you can pack your things... I don\'t need explanations. If you can\'t handle the situation, call security." She was speaking to her secretary who was so confused that she forgot how to answer. By the time she responded, "Yes, CEO Hill!", Sophia already was away from her phone.

At that moment, Sophia missed Leah, her personal assistant who is currently on a vacation. Leah can handle any situation with ease, especially Mark.

Sophia turned to Felix, took his hand in hers and led him to one of the two doors on the side.

When they entered, Felix was surprised to see that it\'s a full suite.

Sophia closed the door behind them. "You can hug me here."

Felix was stunned for a second and then rushed to Sophia while his handsome face glowed from pure happiness. He embraced her tightly and started to shower kisses all over her face.

She giggled before clearing her throat. "I have 43 minutes until next meeting."

Felix froze and looked at her. He blinked few times and it looked like his brain is processing what Sophia said. Then his face showed realization and he flashed a dazzling smile. He picked her up and carried her to the bed.

…

Sophia had a lunch meeting, so Felix went to the cafeteria by himself.

He found a table and started eating while thinking about methods he will use to find frequency for the MX31 that was used to hurt Sarah.

Felix has exquisite table manners. It might be a simple thing for many, but the way he holds utensils and cuts the steak, looks like an elegant show performed for royalty. That, paired with his great looks, got attention of several female employees who were in the cafeteria. They were curious who is this dashing man? His expression while deep in his thoughts added a sense of mystery and number of women found it difficult not to gaze at him. It took only few minutes for first two ladies to gather their courage and approach him.

"Excuse me, is this seat taken?", one lady of two asked pointing at a seat opposite from him. She has a short red hair and bright blue eyes who looked at Felix with anticipation.

It was a long table for 12 people, so he didn\'t think much before gesturing to her that she can take any seat. Felix went back to his thoughts.

"Are you new here?", the lady asked as soon as she took the seat. Her friend sat next to her, with eyes glued to Felix.

"Yes", he responded. Felix was slightly irritated that she is interrupting his thought process.

"On what floor do you work?", second lady asked.

"I\'m just visiting now. Next week I will get an office." At this point, Felix realized that two ladies don\'t just want a seat to have lunch but want to socialize with him.

Two women almost squealed when they heard his deep voice with a French accent. Ladies exchanged glances while their eyes twinkled.

"At what department are you joining? What position? Who is your manager? ...", women started barraging questions without giving him time to respond.

At that moment, three more ladies joined in without asking if seats are available. One of newcomers said, "I see you took initiative to show new hire around. Very admirable." As she took a seat next to Felix, she leaned in toward him more than necessary and flashed her cleavage.

The woman with short red hair gave her a warning look. "Yes, I am a great coworker. Do your best to keep respectable distance, you will scare him away."

"Oh, look who is talking…"

Ladies were going back and forth between each other and throwing random questions at Felix. He pinched roof of his nose fully aware that he can\'t use this lunch break to think. \'Maybe I should take my lunch and have it somewhere else?\' It happened so fast that before Felix realized, his table was full of women who wanted to know more about him, trying to get his attention and some even started touching his shoulders and arms while talking. As number of women around him increased, some of them could not get a seat and were standing. Felix shook his head with a miserable smile thinking how this would look like to Sophia if she showed up and saw him right now surrounded by women like a king with his harem. Just as he thought of this, he felt a chill coming from behind him. Women around him who chatted enthusiastically trying to get his attention, one by one stopped talking and focused on their meals. Few of them didn\'t have any food in front of them, but they still lowered their heads and stared down. The ones who were standing, slowly retreated and left. Felix looked at the women curiously, wondering what caused this sudden change in behavior.

"I see you don\'t have problems networking." Icy cold voice came from behind him.

Felix suddenly realized the source of the chill he felt a minute ago. He turned around and met with Sophia\'s icy gaze.. Four people were standing behind her, all holding tablets and notepads and their eyes were shifting between Sophia and Felix not understanding what is going on.
