《Chasing the nerd ✓》Chapter 37| Noah
Advertisement
I look at my phone and smile a bit with her text.
It's funny how just a moment can turn things around. I mean, I despised her for way too long without even bothering to get to know her. I always thought she was a shallow, spoiled brat. Never wondering about her personality or if she had one at all. And as it turned out she was the exact opposite of that. She is witty and smart and funny, with a fiery temper and a wild passion. Note to self: Maybe stop judging by the cover and take a moment to read the blurb first, before reaching to any kind of conclusion. Dumbass!
I shake my head smiling and turn my attention to my phone once again.
I take off my glasses and undo the first two buttons of my shirt giving her the time to write.
I rub my tired eyes and lean in my chair feeling exhausted. The last couple of days were demanding and drained most of my energy. I need a good night's sleep, like 12 hours straight, no interruptions.
I smile delighted as I'm forming a mental picture of her actually saying that and I'm feeling a warmth spread through my body.
She's such a sweet distraction. Here I was drowned in a shitload of paperwork, my face looking at a computer screen for hours and with just a simple text I forgot all about that. I'm feeling refreshed and it's like i can actually feel the blood run through my veins waking up every part of my body.
Hey, it's not like I had a stroke, I'm obviously gonna be snarky when I get the chance. Don't judge me!
I run my hands through my hair smiling at my screen. Oh God, I like her so much. How did this happen to me?

I chuckle a little. I'm about to reply when i hear a light knock.
"Come in." I say smiling without raising my sight.
"Hey, Noah."
"Hi, Nancy." I say to her crossing my hands on my desk, leaving my phone aside for a moment. "What can I help you with?"
I take a good look at her while she comes closer. I get why Rachel was jealous the other day. Nancy is thin, and tall, with black sleek shiny hair and looks so sophisticated with her business outfits. She has a very light skin, sometimes she reminds me of Snow White when she's wearing that red lipstick of hers. That is, of course if Snow White had a crooked nose. But I don't find her attractive, not one bit.
"Um, Dan said to bring you this paperwork that need filing. There are mostly bills, some invoices, stuff like that." She smiles politely and leaves the papers on my desk.
"Thank you Nancy. You didn't have to bring them here. I would have come if you called me." I mean she's here like 3 years now and I'm the rookie. It's only logical for me to run around doing biddings not the other way around.
"No problem, really. Hey, can i ask you something?" She says and seems uncomfortable from the way she is playing with her hands.
"Sure." I say as I grab the papers and start separating them.
"Did i cause any problems the other day with Rachel? She seemed mad." She says and I swallow hard.
"Oh, she was mad alright. But I was the problem. You don't need to worry about anything. We have a slightly feud because of a car crash, that's all." I keep my face neutral because I don't want to give away anything. This is my work place and I don't want my personal life to interfere with that.

"Oh, ok then. Phew! I feel better now. Thank you, Noah. Bye." She says relieved and leaves, closing the door behind her. Wow, Rachel really scared her. I laugh out loud at that finding it really amusing and grab my phone once again.
I check my clock, it's five already but I think I can make it in time. I'm almost done here anyway.
I scoff smiling mostly to myself. She has such a dirty mind. She throws you off with her angelic, innocent looks when in reality she is anything but that.
I mean I like Dan and all but I'll be extremely uncomfortable if he is there.
Smiling I leave my phone down and concentrate on the papers before me. Luckily there are pretty easy to arrange and file so I'm almost done within half an hour. Just a few bank transactions from the big boss and I'll be on my way.
The name of the last transaction gets my attention. There is that name again. The one I wanting to ask Dan about. And man! That's a lot of zeros. What could possibly cost that much and be marked as business expense? I mean, yeah, the man has ships and he's overseas closing a new deal but I don't think he could just buy a ship off of his personal account. Something's wrong.
Once again I note the name of the recipient,marking down to discuss this with Dan first thing tomorrow.
Closing the door of my office, I'm leaving all the mess behind me and clear my head at once.
There's is a certain blonde waiting for me and it's the only thing that matters.
