"Thanks!". Samantha said, smiling. "Can I dig in sir?" Samantha asked Emery while raising her brows.
Emery wanted to say no, but before he could say anything, she started eating.
"What just happened?". Emery asked while staring at Delilah, as his lips curved into a beautiful smile, but to his surprise, she got lost in his hazel eyes.
"Delilah!". I snapped, which made her finally come back to her senses, as she cleared her throat.
'Hmm Hmm'. She cleared her throat.
"Delilah!. it seems that you love my eyes because you always stare at them....... but no need, I won't blame you, because no one can resist a sparkling eye that looks like mine". Emery said as a seductive smirk appeared on his face.
"Stop praising yourself, Mister Handsome". Delilah said while rolling her eyes.
"I am not Mister Handsome...... well apparently... I'm handsome" I replied, trying to defend myself, in a way that I won't end up embarrassing myself.
"Ohh so if you think no one can resist your eyes, then I have to tell you the truth of what I have observed. Mister Handsome!". Delilah called out before pausing for a while. "Why is it that you can't look away from my lips?..... but yeah, I won't blame you, because no one can resist a lip that looks as sexy and beautiful as this". Delilah said, trying to copy Emery.
"I am not looking at your lips". Emery said, trying to defend himself once again because Delilah had quickly defended herself by saying she wasn't looking at his eyes.
"Sir, I am done!" Samantha said, which made Delilah and Emery who was arguing to immediately stop.
"Take me to the company". Emery said, referring to Samantha, who had just declared that she had finished eating.
"Wait! before we get to the company..... you need to drop Delilah at her house". Emery added.
"The address of my house is....." Delilah wasn't through with her statement, when Samantha cut her off, by completing the address for her.
"Your address is registered on Google maps, so that's why I'm able to know it". Samantha said, without being asked because Delilah was already staring at her with a questioning gaze.
In less than five minutes, We were already in front of Delilah's gate.
Her gait is silver. It has a spear edge at the exterior end and was designed with the drawing of a horse, which seems to be jumping.
I wasn't expecting Delilah's gate to be like that, for I wasn't anything that looked expensive, but when I saw the size of her gate and house, I was surprised.
"Mister Handsome!. You need to close your mouth, for if you don't! flies would end up entering inside". Delilah said, before letting out a mockery grin.
"Nice gate!". I quickly said as I helped myself to mess my hair awkwardly.
"Thanks". Delilah replied while showing off all the teeth she possesses. "Thanks for the ride, and the clothes. I know I'm going to return it, but I feel so comfortable in it. If you don't mind, can I keep them?". She asked.
The clothes are Damm comfortable under her skin, and the way the texture of the cloth feels made her indirectly beg Emery to give her the cloth.
"Sure!. You can keep them". I said smiling.
Samantha started the car, and started driving, while Delilah was still in front of her gate waving, like a kid who's waving to her parents that are going to the city.
"Sir I forgot something!". Samantha said, and she revised the car and drove back to where Delilah was still standing.
"Is there a problem?". Asked Delilah.
Samantha just bent her head to the other side of the driver's seat, so that Delilah could see her properly.
"I forgot to tell you that your lips are really beautiful". Samantha said, which made Emery's blood boil, because he couldn't believe that they had to revise the car back to Delilah's house, just because of a simple compliment. "Awen! Thanks!". Delilah said, as her cheeks suddenly turned pink like an over ripened strawberry.
Emery has to admit the fact that Delilah's lips are sexy, but he still has to punish Samantha for wasting his precious time, for he was supposed to be in the company an hour ago.
She wave Samantha again and started walking to her gate, jumping like a baby who was just given a lollipop, and in this process, her black kimono was no longer straight beside her because the wind made it to started flying on her back, her hair was also flying, and when she turns her head to look at me, I used the opportunity to take a picture of her, she wasn't aware and I was grateful for it, I continue staring at her until she was out of sight.
Samantha drove off, and I couldn't help but continue smiling. I was lost in thought until Samantha's loud horn-filled my ear, and that was when I realized that I had arrived at the company.
I came down from the car without the help of Samantha, because she was busy bringing my suitcase out of the booth. "Thanks, Samantha!". I said while grabbing my suitcase from her.
"You are the welcome boss!". She replied, as she gently handed over my suitcase to me.
"Boss!". Samantha called out, which made me shift my gaze to her.
Samantha bite her lower lip, as she utter a statement that wasn't loud..... but reading her lips, I picture out what she's trying to say.
"Boss Emery.... Your eyes are also beautiful". She uttered before walking away.
I was expecting my blood to boil because of what she just said, but I didn't know when I started blushing.
I walked into the office, and all my employees were all looking at me, with surprised expressions, written all over their faces.
Because I don't smile like this, in the morning time, I quickly change my mood, to my usual expression, and they all turn away. Some started working, while others pretended as if they were working.
I went straight to the elevator and put on my sunglasses. My office is located on the top floor, so within five minutes, the elevator door opened and I came out.
I walked straight to my office and started working because I arrive late to work, and every minute is very important in my business.
I am an investigator..... not just an ordinary investigator, but a private investigator to be precise..... and I love taking my job seriously because I have a lot of cases I haven't investigated.
*Ding dong*. The sound of a ringing doorbell was heard.
"Come in!". I said, without staring away from my computer.
Kelvin, who is my secretary, came in while holding a file.
"Sir, you have a meeting with Mr. Fidelis!". He said while handing over the file which he's holding towards me.
I took it from him, and quickly glanced through the file.
Mr. Fidelis is my business partner. He has a company which is just like mine..... but his company doesn't have many skilled workers, like that of my company.
"You may go!". I said, and Kelvin quickly left my office.
I continued looking at the file which Kelvin gave to me. I was trying my best to read it, but I couldn't because I felt so restless.
I placed my hand on my pocket and brought out my phone.
I am using an iPhone, so I called Issac... but he didn't pick up the call, so I have no other option but to read the file Kelvin gave to me.
I forced myself to read it once again, and in the file, Mr. Fidelis, wants me to help him with one of the projects he has been working on for months now.
I dropped the file and left my office. I headed straight to one of my board rooms because Mr. Fidelis was already waiting for me.
"Good morning sir" Mr. Fidelis greeted me.
Mr. Fidelis is older than me, he seems to be fourth-something years of age., Mr. Fidelis is very fair in complexion, but due to stress, his skin has turned from a fair complexion to a mixture of both fair and black. His face is fair, while his hand is dark, he has a big pot belly.
He was putting on a brown suit, with a white long sleeve beneath it. His trousers were also brown, likewise his shoes. He had scanty hair on his head, and his eyes were also brown.
" Good morning Mr. Fidelis!". I greeted him back. " So according to your file, you want me to find out who caused the death of Lady Easter?". I asked while going straight to business.
"Yes!". He replied. "I want you to find out who killed Easter. Well!. I have been trying to find out the cause of her death for weeks, but I couldn't". Mr. Fidelis explained.
"So you want me to help you investigate the course of her death?". I asked.
"Yes. I want you to help me to investigate the course of her death". Mr. Fidelis replied.
"Well!. It's going to be sixty-four". I said, already dividing the money so that there won't be a misunderstanding when the deal is done.
He wanted to decline but later accepted it, with a smile on his face.
"So it's a deal!". I said while offering my hands to him.
We both shook hands and decided to depart because a business person is always busy when it comes to business.
