My Little Sunshine

Chapter 2: His Past

He woke up early as usual and went to the gym which was located two doors next to the master bedroom. After spending an hour there, he took a shower, dressed up in an all black three pieces suit and headed downstairs for his breakfast. 

In the dining room, other than the maids serving him his breakfast, nobody else was there. He ate his breakfast quietly and left for the company, driving himself. He hated the idea of having a driver. 

After reaching the building having the logo of Levinson's Corporation along with the name itself, encrusted in golden color on the top, he drove to the basement and parked his car in it's usual spot. Taking the elevator specially reserved for the president of the company, he reached the top floor. As he walked out of the elevator doors everyone present there greeted him. He walked down to the office while nodding to them, a faint smile on his face. 

Adam Levinson took over his father's company after his death, when he was just a 20 year old boy. His mother had passed away while giving birth to him. He was adored by his father, his every wish was fulfilled as soon as it escaped from his lips. He decided to study business so that he could help his father after receiving his degree. During the time he used to accompany his father to the office so that he could get used to the environment and familiarize himself with it.

The business was booming but on his 20th birthday, he received the news of his father's death. He was out of the city for an important meeting, but since it was his only son's birthday, he wrapped up everything as soon as possible so that he could spend the rest of the day with his dear son. But on his way back home from the airport, he got into an accident. A big truck collided with his car, and he died at the moment. Adam came to know that the driver was involved in it as well. That is why he ignored the truck speeding towards the car. That was the day he decided not to ever hire a driver for himself. After taking over the business, Adam made the business flourish more while investing in different fields as it was the only remainder his father had left him.

Reaching his office, he called the receptionist on his floor using the intercom to send in his coffee which he preferred black and without any sugar. When the coffee was sent in, he asked the secretary of his Vice President to send in the candidates as he will carry out the interviews himself.

The first candidate came in, she looked like a nerd with her big glasses covering half of her face. After two hours or so, he was frustrated. Not even a single one of the ten candidates were able to satisfy him even though they came from prestigious business colleges and were the top students of their classes. He looked at the list of candidates placed in front of him, all the names were crossed out by a red line except for one in the last. He asked the receptionist again to send in the last candidate using the intercom. He waited for her while massaging in between his brows. He didn't have any hope for the last one as well. 

Soon, there was a knock on the door followed by a sweet voice, "May I come in, Sir?" 

"Yes."

The door opened, followed by the clicking sound of heels. He raised his head to see the person and was awestruck by what he saw. 

A girl with a petite figure was standing in front of him. She had the most flawless skin he had ever seen, just like that of a porcelain doll. She had a small face, the size of his palm. A pair of big hazel eyes were prominent on that petite face which stirred up something deep within him. She had dark brown waist length wavy hair which was tied up in a pony messily. She wasn't dressed up formally like all the previous candidates and was wearing a black ripped jeans paired with a maroon crop-top with 'Bite Me' written on it. Her slim waist was visible which was fair and smooth just like her face.

He finally realized that it was too quiet, and looked once again at her captivating hazel brown eyes only to find them staring back at him with slightly raised eyebrows. Only then he realized that he was caught staring at her. He cleared his throat pointing to one of the chairs in front of his desk and said, "You can sit down."

After she sat down, he asked her name, "May I know your name?"

"Stella. Stella Martin, Sir!"

"Tell me about yourself Ms. Stella." He asked her while going through her resume. He was impressed by her achievements so far. She came from a prestigious business college of Berlin. She was the top student in her class, though she doesn't look like one of those nerds. She had worked before in two different companies for around two years and she was just 20 years old herself. He was impressed by her sincerely.

"Excuse me, Sir?"

His thoughts were interrupted by her. That was then he realized that he was lost in his own thoughts while she had probably answered his questions. "I am sorry, I am not feeling well today. But I am truly impressed by your achievements." He said after clearing his throat.

"Thank you, Sir. I'm honored." She replied.

"Miss Stella, if you don't mind can I ask you some business related questions?" He asked her with a faint smile on his face to which she replied, "Sure." 

After asking her some questions for around 15 minutes or so, he was satisfied with all of her answers. He stood up, walked around the table, extended his arm while congratulating her, "Congratulations Miss Stella. You can join in from tomorrow. I know it's on a short notice but I really need a P.A these days. I hope you don't mind."

She stood up and took his hand, giving it a firm handshake. "Thank you! And it's no problem at all. You can just call me Stella, Sir."

He realized now that even after wearing heels that were around 3 inches or more, she was still a head smaller than him only reaching up to his shoulders. He smiled politely and replied, "The pleasure is all ours Miss Stella. I mean Stella."

They drew their hands back at the same time. Adam told her to ask about some details from Bella on her way out which will help her to settle in easily. Bella was one of the secretaries on the top floor outside his office and the only one who didn't get on his nerves more than that was required.

After hearing her yes in reply, he showed her the way outside and even held the office door as the door was a heavy wooden door, and also, so that she doesn't stumble upon her heels.
