I followed the direction of her finger, about to rebuke her for pointing at someone. But the words died on my lips. Holy hell.
There were two guys standing there. The one was nothing special, and my eyes immediately slid away from him. But the man beside him was, for lack of a better word, gorgeous. He was tall and blond, with a strong jawline and piercing blue eyes. His face was animated as he talked to the man beside him, seeming not to realize that the world had pretty much come to a standstill around him.
Because Vera and I weren’t the only ones staring at him. It seemed like everyone in his vicinity was waiting with bated breath, ready to leap to his every whim. The man didn’t even seem to realize, though. He had power, but he had the air of someone who didn’t even notice how much of it crackled like electricity around him. It wasn’t arrogance; it was simply that he was so caught up in what he was saying that he didn’t seem aware of anything else.
I wondered what it would be like to have that kind of intensity focused on me. I shivered, not sure whether that would be a good thing or not.
“That’s Adam Parker,” Vera hissed, not seeming to realize the emotions going through me. “And his assistant, I think. Wendell Carlton. Isn’t he handsome?”
My eyes slid over Adam’s companion again, but I dismissed him just as easily as I had before. I supposed he was good-looking, but I only had eyes for Adam. So this was the president of the company, and one of my new bosses. Interesting.
I was struck by the sudden urge to walk up to Adam and introduce myself. What better way to be noticed as an intern than to make a bold move like that? But I knew that unless I could back it up with a reason, he would see it as nothing more than a waste of his time, and I didn’t want that. No, if I wanted to capture his attention, I was going to have to come up with some brilliant way to do it.
My eyes lingered on him for a minute longer, hoping beyond hope that he might glance over at me. Then again, it was probably just as well he didn’t. I was tired, and I knew that after the long and busy day I’d had, I had to look frazzled. That wasn’t how I wanted our first meeting to go.
In any case, he didn’t look over. He breezed past us, still chatting animatedly to his assistant. My eyes followed after him, getting a good eyeful of his shapely ass as he walked away. No guy should ever be that good-looking. It was practically a crime.
But I couldn’t stop trying to think of ways to get the man to notice me.
