Soon it was time to clock out of work at 5.30pm. The employees left the office premises slowly. Melody was waiting for Brandon to leave. Brandon noticed that and looked up after saving his work in his laptop. He nodded at Assistant Tim and John signaling they can go back too. Brandon voiced out to Melody after Assistant Tim and John left...
"Would you care for a cup of coffee with me, Miss Melody?"
Melody replied him hesitantly " S... Sure sir. "
Brandon and Melody left the office premises and Brandon told Melody to wait at the front and he brought his car over. She was hesitant at first to board the car which made Brandon lower the car window and call her in. Being in the same car as him made her very nervous and scared. Brandon noticed that and he took the initiative to start the conversation.
"Why do you always seem so nervous around me Melody? "
"You are my boss sir, I can't stop feeling nervous with a high and mighty person like you next to me. I might have a slip of tongue here and there and at times I can be very clumsy sir. So I'm scared that it will anger you" she blurted.
"Melody relax. I am a lion that's going to eat you up now. I'm also a human being just like you. I'm not high and mighty as you say. Yes, during work I'm serious because I have to be. After work hours I'm not that serious and yes you can call me Brandon. "
She replied him almost immediately, " How could I sir? You are my boss!!! "
"It's after work hours now and I just told you this afternoon during lunch break that you can relax and treat us as your friends too. Why do I look like I'll be a bad friend or am I not eligible to be your friend? " he asked.
" Of course you are eligible sir. In fact more than eligible sir. I feel like I'm not eligible being your friend instead sir. "
"There you go again with addressing me sir. Please call me Brandon and don't put yourself down. Everybody deserves equal respect and love. " he said as he parked the car.
Melody was stunned and she reached out to open the car door but she realised it was locked. She turned and looked at him only to find him closer to her and she moved back immediately. She stuttered and asked
"Sir why are you so close and why is the car door not open? We have reached the shop. "
" I will not unlock the car door until you call me by name now." Brandon told her.
She realised she had no choice and she was fidgeting and finally called him by his name.
"Brandon.. "she said in a very soft voice almost couldn't be heard.
That was enough for Brandon as he unlocked the door with a smile on his face. Melody immediately got down from the car and ran into the cafe. He just stared at her running back as he smirked to himself. His first move was already planned on making her his.
