     My name is Romeo Romero and I'm a 29 year old CEO at Romero Corp. A year ago I had a fiancee named Carly Houston, but she's no longer in my life due to certain circumstances. Anyway, after that issue I had sworn to myself that I will not fall in love with another woman that tries to seduce me. To me, I think that women will do anything to be wealthy even by using their bodies. Just like a woman trying to find the right man to suit her and care for her, I also struggle to find my love. It's only a waste to find some you want to comfort and commit yourself to. At least that's what I had thought...
                
       "Mister Romero, the preparations for the meeting have been completed." Like every other day I have another meeting with another CEO to discuss future references. Apparently, New York city is very busy and is always disturbed. My corporation is of course, one of the busiest businesses to ever run in this city.
        "Very well. How are the terms for my assistant?"  My secretary checked her computer and looked at me with a generous smile. "Fairly good, Mister Romero. And your interview with journalist, Samantha Woods are set. Stewart will arrive in a few minutes to drop you off." I smile happily and head to the elevator. I press the button to go to down to 1st floor from 54th floor
         As I head outside, I don't see Stewart yet. So I look at my phone and check the time. "It's 9:37 p.m." I say to myself. I look around and see a woman with a dark hood covering her face sprinting towards me. As she gets closer to me, she trips. Before she falls to the ground, I immediately catch her.
          "T-thank you, Sir." Her voice was very soft. I pulled her hood off of her head. And there I saw a beautiful face. She smiled at me tenderly. I don't know why, but I ended up staring deep into her caramel eyes. She stared still gazing upon me whom has not let her go. 
             "Um, excuse me.... Will you let me go now?" I snapped out of my gaze and looked at her again. Letting her go seemed impossible for me to act on. I loosened my arms and let her go. She looked at me with the same smile. "Again, thank you." She says to me. Before I could say anything else, Stewart had finally arrived. "Mister Romero, sorry that I am late. Shall we go now?" I nod. 
        During the interview, Woods asked me all sorts of questions. I didn't hesitate to answer any of them. But during that time, I found myself thinking about that mysterious girl who approached me. She was teasing me with that smile of hers. 
           "Mister Romero, didn't you have a fiancee named Carly Houston?" That's when I remembered the reason why I didn't want a serious relationship with a woman. "Yes, I did." "You did? Whatsoever, does that mean, Mister Romero?" Of course she would ask this question. I'll just give her a piece. "We had some difficulties involving work, so we thought it was best if we went our own ways." "I see. So does work distract yourself from relationships between you and your lovers?" "You're rather fond of personal questions, aren't you?" She chuckles. "I just want a chance to get to know you better." I understand that the line she just used is what Carly used when she interviewed me. Carly was also a journalist. Her questions that she asked me were what I found...intriguing.
           "Apparently, everyone wants a chance to know my daily routines."
After the interview, I found myself going into a bar. I ordered two shots and left. Stewart brought me home to my penthouse and from there...I still thought about that mysterious girl. She's driving me crazy...
          If only I got a chance to know her name, I would've asked. Her soft smile ...I treasure. And if I ever see her again, I will have her known to me...
