1690 Words
Third POV ~ Somewhere in Mexico… "What's the update?", the man asked with his powerful, strong voice and immediately another man who was also in his 50s stepped forward. “We have confirmed her pregnancy, our mission is a success. Also, she moved away from that assh**** Tristan and presently joined a new job", he answered the man. Soon there was a genuine smile on his face, “Good, she finally chose what’s right for her. I’m buying the company she is working for now. Finish the documents and inform me”, he ordered the man who was standing, scratching his back uneasily. “Leader, I think the owner is not in the idea to sell his company at the moment”, he said to the man in a lower tone, very carefully. “DO I SEEM LIKE CARING ABOUT THE OWNER?” Suddenly, the man yelled in anger and everyone around him bowed their heads except the man who answered him. “Jonathan, relax! Swapping from your right hand to your best friend, I’m telling you this. You can’t buy this company from its owner”, he said, all calm and fine without any bit of fear for this man in front of him. He completely changed into a different person and Jonathan sighed at him. “Oh my friend, who’s the owner?”, he asked, looking calm as a sage without any bit of authority and power in his voice which was there before. “Mr. Booker owns it!”, he said and Jonathan’s eyes widened in shock, and in the next moment, it changed into a wide smile. “Really? I don’t think we are the only ones planning this, even nature and destiny are planning to unite them… isn’t it, pal?”, he asked, smiling widely at the other man in front of him. “Indeed!”, the other one agreed with a happy smile. Kelsea's POV ~ “Can I take you on a date?”, he asked and I looked at him with a blank expression on my face. What? Did he really ask me out now… And instantly I know what I have to tell him because I didn’t have anything to think about, to be frank. “Look, Stefan. I appreciate you asking me out but for a date, it’s always a no from me…”, I said, literally at the next moment, and quickly his excitement and hope were replaced with disappointment. Shi*! Was that harsh? But I can’t give him hope either. “And, it’s always a yes, for a friendly catch-up ofc!”, I asked with a chill smile on my face to cover up my previous statement. Hearing me, his face quickly blooms with the same excitement. “Perfect then, sorry if my question earlier made you feel bad…”, I found myself smiling without even noticing as he apologized with his funny cute face. “No, not all. I just felt like telling you earlier”, I said. “Friends?”, he asked, stretching his hand for a quick shake and I immediately clutched my hands with his and we shook. “Ofc friends!”, I agreed happily and then I slowly started to feel a lot of eyes on us. Are people watching us… Instantly I scanned my surroundings, and there were a lot of girls killing me with their angry looks. Ouch! Why are these girls trying to burn me with their gaze… I asked myself and then I looked at Stefan with my eyebrows raised. He eyed me with an “explanation for later” reaction and I understood. “Any plans for lunch?”, he asked and I shook my head. And I noticed a glimpse of relief on his face. “My work will be over in 20 minutes. Shall we have our lunch together in the Food Court here?'', he asked. I’m always happy to get to know new people and make friends, so I didn’t have any reason to reject his offer. Plus, I was super hungry as this little one inside me always consumes my food leaving me starving. “Sure, why not… but I’m not officially an employ…”, before I could complete my sentence, “Miss. Kelsea, right?”, a girl came running to me and I nodded for her question. “Thank god, you didn’t leave already. You’ve got selected as Chief Manager’s assistant and he wants to meet you. Also, if you can finish a few paperwork regarding the job it would be great”, she explained in a single breath as she took a long deep breath, bending down, looking exhausted. “Sure, thank you so much!”, I thanked her with a smile. “So now you’re officially an employee here!”, Stefan on my other side, said in his playful tone with a wink. “Indeed!”, I also joined his crazy tone band, as I started to speak playfully just like him. I’m happy I found someone easygoing like Stefan in this office. I was really worried and I even thought, I’m gonna end up here alone but thanks to Stefan. Around him, I never feel lonely, in fact, I feel happy and free. There is something about him that makes me feel so comfortable around him. Stefan left for his work after guiding me to the Manager’s office. There I got to meet our manager or practically my boss who was super cool and easy-going as well. I’m so thankful for God for having mercy on me. I'm so glad that my boss is not a bitc*y lady like the one I met earlier today. I finished all my paperwork and contracts. I even met a new girl Lisa, who was another good soul who handles printers and other document stuff here. Time quickly flew, and I remembered my lunch with Stefan. I quickly walked to our food court on the second floor and took a seat. In a few minutes, Stefan paced inside in a hurry, scanning for me. I waved my hands high to grab his attention and noticing me he walked to my table. "Hi! Sorry, I'm late", he apologized with an innocent look on his face and I chuckled. "You're not late, maybe a minute or so", I said and we both giggled. "So what would you like to have for lunch?", he asked and my mind was immediately filled with thousands of coffee mugs. I don't know if this is a disorder or something but I always crave coffee before my lunch and Skyla considers me an alien because of this habit of mine. "Uh… Stefan. If I tell one of my secrets to you, can you save it?", I asked, sounding a bit hesitant because I don't know how he'll react if I tell him this. "Just tell me, sea. I'm a secret diary", he said with a wink and I instantly felt a bit comfortable telling him so I just said to him, "I have a habit of drinking coffee before my lunch. Don't ask me why, it became my craving and habit. And please don't laugh at me...", I just spilled it in a single breath and looked down, as I didn't have the guts to face his laugh. But surprisingly, he didn't laugh, he just hummed. "That's a good taste, indeed", he said and I looked at him surprised. "What? That's it? No laugh and tease?", I just asked out of curiosity and he shook his head. "Come on, sea. Why would I laugh, everyone has their own taste and preferences. We can't comment on them", he said, looking all cool and calm. Woah, that was my least expected reaction from him. Hearing him say so, I felt a bit relieved. At least, there is one who understands my perspective, cool! "I'll get you a coffee for now and you decide what you would like to eat after it", he said and got up from his chair. "Wait wait! I'll get my coffee, you wait here. Actually, I have my own values for the coffee ingredients", I winked at him and he again sat back on his chair, giggling at me. I ordered my coffee with the perfect levels of sugar and coffee beans, just the way I prefer. The sweet aroma of the coffee awakened all my taste buds to take a sip of the delicious coffee. The girl passed on my coffee mug through the counter with a wide smile. I couldn't control myself as I craved coffee so much, so I quickly pulled the mug from the counter, and when I turned… Thudddddddd!!! Shane's POV ~ It was a hectic day, and I need to grab my stress buster, Coffee! So I just walked to the food court of my new company Duno Fashion Industries which I just now signed under my name, officially. You can ask, are there no workers for you to get your own coffee. Well, the answer is no. No one other than my mom could make a perfect coffee, just the way I prefer. Since I'm new to these people, I decided to tell them my preference so they don't mess up in the future. I quickly paced towards the coffee counter when a wonderful aroma filled my nostril. Wow! Just the perfect flavor of the coffee. And when I just walked closer enjoying its flavor in the air… Thudddddddd! I just collided with a soft, small body and then there was a loud sound of a mug shattering into pieces. I felt someone in my hands… and then, I realized I was holding a girl by her perfect little waist, from falling. Everything began to look clear and my eyes quickly moved to look at the girl's face. And my heartbeat, my legs, my hands, my eyes, my everything failed me at the same time… Baby girl?
