Chapter 1: Unexpected Encounter
Sophia hurriedly made her way through the bustling city streets, her heart pounding with a mixture of excitement and nerves. Today marked the beginning of her new job at one of the most prestigious hotels in town. As she entered the lobby, she couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the grandeur surrounding her.
Lost in her thoughts, Sophia collided with a solid figure, causing her to stumble back. "Oh, I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
The man she bumped into turned to face her, his piercing blue eyes locking onto her own. "No worries, it was my fault as well. Are you alright?" he asked, extending a hand to steady her.
Sophia accepted his hand, feeling a strange jolt of electricity shoot through her at his touch. "Yes, I'm fine. Just a bit flustered. Thank you," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.
He flashed her a charming smile. "I'm Alexander Greyson. Pleasure to meet you."
"Sophia Carter," she introduced herself, feeling a mixture of nervousness and curiosity.
"Well, Sophia, welcome to the hotel. Are you new here?" Alexander inquired, his eyes scanning her face with genuine interest.
"Yes, today is my first day," she replied, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
He nodded, his gaze lingering on her for a moment longer than necessary. "Well, I wish you all the best in your new position. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to reach out. I have a feeling you'll do great things here," he said, his voice filled with confidence.
"Thank you, Mr. Greyson. I'll keep that in mind," she replied, her heart fluttering at the sound of his voice.
As they exchanged a few more pleasantries, Sophia couldn't help but feel a strange connection forming between them. There was an undeniable magnetism, an unspoken chemistry that hung in the air.
Little did Sophia know that this unexpected encounter would mark the beginning of a journey that would forever change her life.
