Let Him Love You First 42 Babe, Don't Stare.

But everything that she believes were all disregarded when she meets Michael at Zoey's birthday party. She hasn't been attracted to anyone even had a crush or infatuation with someone. 

When Zoey introduced her to Michael, America's hand was shaking and her back was already covered with sweat. She doesn't know why she is feeling nervous to be introduces to him.

"Michael, this is my best friend America, you can call her A for short." 

"Wow, that was cool, she is A and you're Z." Michael was fascinated with the coincidence of having a friend from A to Z.

Everything is set for Asian-Sealed Corporation but before their first day of business, the head employees were gathered to meet and discuss the upcoming ribbon cutting and to introduce one another.

Zoey, Nickel and the rest of the first in command received an email coming from the Central HR Department about the said meeting. Zoey woke up early because her place was far away from the venue and even asked her father to drive her to save her from the traffic on her way. 

When the father and daughter arrived, no one has come yet as it was still early. Conceivably, Zoey wanted to give an impression for being punctual and respects other's time or maybe she is excited for her role as an accounting officer to Corporation.

"Thank you dad for the drive." She kissed her father at his cheek the start waving goodbye to him.

"Message me if you want me to pick you up." Mr. Alcantara then drive away as for Zoey, she entered the building and proceeds to the conference room with the help of the usherettes.

One by one people started to arrive and introduce themselves to one another. Some of them were familiar to each one while others were literally new.

Only the managing director was left unoccupied to the round table. Because Asian-Sealed was just a little branch in Asia, Managing Director will be equivalent to a COO of a big corporation. S/he will be the responsible person to lead and manage the people under him.

Everyone inside the room is under the supervision of the Managing Director and everyone wanted to rub his elbow and benefit with his connection with the main office.

The room was engulfed with a sudden silence when they heard the door creak slowly. Everyone's eyes were s.h.i.+fted to the door area to see who is their Managing Director.

Slowly, an elegant and oozing with masculinity entered the room, everyone's eyes fixated on him.

Nickel entered the room and approached the center chair. Everyone around the table stood up and greeted him. 

"Good morning Mr. Fuentes."

Nickel nodded as a sign of his acknowledgment and then sit down to his chair. Zoey was seated on his right, surprised with his appearance, she steadily looked at his, examining if he is the same guy she meets during the wedding. As the meeting proceeds, Zoey was still staring at him, unsure why he was here.

She heard from her friend that the a.s.signed Managing Director came from Montana same as her. She thought that maybe she is familiar to the a.s.signed director as she knew (through the name and face recognition not personally) almost half of the employees at Montana branch. Employee Directory is accessible to everyone so if she is bored at her station she opens the site on her computer and to look everyone's profile.

"I haven't come across his file. Perhaps he is new." Zoey said to herself.

Conscious with Zoey's staring, Nickel lean side ward and whispered to her as the HR officer was introducing the employees.

"Babe, don't stare too much, if I'm an ice I've already melted with her stead stares." His lips curved upwards after whispering to Zoey. Some employees who focused themselves to Nickel's action lose their senses after sewing his seductive smile.

Zoey, on the other hand, froze after hearing words; it confirmed his suspicions that he is the guy she meant at the wedding. She is a great believer of Doppelganger or that there are ten people around this world that looked exactly the same as you. Some are saying that she looked the same with an actress who played as the lead actress in a famous romantic comedy movie last year or with the international singer who sang the original soundtrack of her favorite series.

Zoey s.h.i.+fted her eyes to the presentation after Nickel's reminder. She paid attention to the presentation while the HR officer was introducing everyone inside the room.
