COLTON
Women never have been in my mind lately except one 'Zari' that I keep thinking about her. I still did not get her personal number and I was away for months from the main office. But I keep on monitoring the flow of the company thru video callings or other meetings. I still keep in touch with them even I was not there in person I have some trusted personnel.
I have been busy with some investors and other business related. I may sometimes in the city but never stay long and travel most of the time.
It was not easy being the CEO of the big companies, not just one but many. I was lucky enough that I have the energy to cope up everything.
Now, I am back to my work in the main branch. Roving around first thing in the morning. No one still around but the Accounting Dept. already is. I smiled secretly as I know who that person would be early as this hour. I do not know why I was smiling knowing that person is but it just shown my face.
I knocked the door before I opened it then closed the door behind. I saw her standing at the mini ref, bottled water in her hand.
However, my eyes were looking down at her belly; it was a little bump on it. She was wearing a below the knee dress without a blazer.
"Oh, good morning Shana, I did not know you got married." I said in shocked.
'Why I was feeling dismay? Why am I thinking about it? Unhappy? What's the matter with me seeing her like she was mine?'
I heard she cleared her throat and do not even aware that she already seated in her chair. I thought I was still looking at her but she was nowhere near the ref. That means I was spacing out.
"Good morning Mr. Colton." She greeted me. "A-and I am not married." She said in sweet small smile as she placed her hand on her tummy.
"What!" I said in surprised. "How, h-how you…? I mean... Why? If you don't mind me asking?"
"Well, its j-just happened and the father of this angel… let us not talk about it, Sir. Anyway, what can I do for you?" She said quickly changing the topic. She seems do not want to talk about the father. Then I recall, I saw a kiss mark on her neck the same night I was with Zari. That should be the father that she does not want to talk about it.
I nodded. "Nothing much, I'm just roaming around after few months I was away and it is good to be finally here again." I said looking at her. Her looks were radiant being pregnant woman.
"I see. Would you like a cup of coffee?" she asked. "Black?" Looking at me, waiting for me to reply.
I nodded, "That would be nice." I replied smiling as she stood up, walking to the pantry. Seeing her making my coffee I was smirking as I checking her out. Checking her out, her butt in particular.
'Hey, why would I be checking her out? Am I nuts? That would be rude. Do not tell me Colton you are desiring a woman who is pregnant.'
I shook my head and looking away from her.
I roamed my eyes every corner of her office and it was spacious then it caught my eyes on that corner.
"What are you looking at?" she asked as she placed the cup of coffee in front of me and looked at her back to where my eyes falls.
"What is it?" she asked again curiously.
"Oh, nothing I thought I saw something." I lied as I sipped my coffee.
I stayed there for a while before I let her do her thing. It makes me a happy feeling when I reached my office. I feel that connection every time I am with her. It made me forget about Zari.
Starting my morning with a lot of documents to be fill in and sign of. A knock in my door as I look at the monitor. It was my other trusted secretary, Rosie. I clicked the button to open.
She was walking towards me with some folders in her arms. Hmmm... I guess I am going to be busy again not just today but to more coming days.
"Boss, here are the folders you need to review." Placing it on the other space on my table. "These are not urgent." She said and I nodded. "Boss, it is nearly lunch time. What you like to eat or should I make a reservation?" Rosie asked. I did not answer. I was thinking actually.
"Maybe I will call you later. To let you know what I want to have in mind" I said.
"Okay, boss." She stepped towards the door.
After Rosie left, I dialed some number in the landline.
"Hello! This is Shana. May I help you?" Oh! Her voice is so turning on.
'Hey Colton, what were you thinking again.? You are being a pervert since you met Zari and now, you are targeting a pregnant woman. She is currently one of your employees so stop it.' Shaking my head as I heard her say "Hello again!"
"Oh, I am sorry Shana. I got distracted." I apologized.
"Mr. Colton?" Shana said in doubtful tone.
"Just Colton, Shana, that would be fine okay." I corrected her again.
"Okay, Colton. So, why did you call?" She asked.
"Oh, well, what do you like to eat this lunch?" I asked
"What? Why?" Her voice seems not to believe that the CEO asked her about lunch.
"It is not What or Why. It is nearly lunch time and I want to give you something for lunch." I spoke. "And I won't take No for an answer."
She was silent for a moment before letting me know her answer. "Okay, if you insist." She replied. "Any burger, French fries and pasta will do."
"Huh! That's what you always eaten." I asked. It is not healthy for her and the baby too.
"No, only now. I am craving to eat it today." Said honestly. Well, good to know.
"Okay, be there before you know it." I chuckled. Then we said goodbye and dialed Rosie.
