Always the Priority Kelly's POV

Before going to work, I stopped by the nearest coffee shop to buy a coffee. I was scrolling through my cellphone while falling in line.

"Cappuccino on ice, please."

While waiting for my order, I sat on the nearest table, still looking at my phone when suddenly, a familiar scent of a male perfume filled my nose. A man suddenly sat on the seat in front of me My lips parted and my heart raced when I lifted my face and saw him.

"Uh..." I don't know what to say.

He scratched his temple and stared into my eyes. "I'm sorry, there are no vacant seats anywhere."

I roamed my eyes round and he's right.

Slowly, I just nodded my head and looked at my phone again, distracting myself when I'm already distracted by his presence..

Why is he here? His comparty wasn't in this area.

It's you," he broke the silence.

I cursed inside my head when I remember I'm just wearing light makeup today.

I lifted my face again and smiled at him, "What is it, sir?"

He cleared his throat. "The event. Auction."

I pretended to be shocked as I slowly nodded and snapped my fingers. "Right! Thought you're familiar. So

we have met, that's why."

It's so freaking awkward. I don't know what to do. Pierce's presence is taking my breath away when he's not doing anything but just sitting in front of me. This is crazy! "Elle, right?" He asked, staring intently at my face.

I don't know but unlike when I saw him at the auction event, his aura seemed light today. His eyes weren't lifeless nymore and he seemed so happy.
