Chapter 18 - What are you doing here?

"Meeting adjourned!" said Francesca and left the huge meeting room with assistant Wen.

"That was the last meeting for today CEO Shen. I left some documents that need your signature." said assistant Wen.

"Good! I will take a look at it right away," she said as she opened the door to her office.

The moment she entered her office a handsome male wearing a dark blue suit sitting on the couch lifted his head from reading some files and smiled.

"CEO Lee? What are you doing here?" asked Francesca surprised and walked over to the couch and sat down.

"I'm here to request a collaboration for this project and have lunch with you since it's almost lunchtime," said Kevin and handed her a document.

She received it and started to read, she placed it down on the coffee table once she was done reading it. "This is a good project, but why do you want to collaborate with us? Don't you have the Song corps, Yang corps, or Chen corps to ask for a collaboration?"

"This project is best suited to collaborate with the Shen corps," said Kevin.

"Hmm, can you give me three days to decide if I wanna collaborate?'' asked Francesca.

"Of course this project won't start in a month anyway. So where do you wanna eat?" asked Kevin cheerfully.

Both Francesca and Kevin were finding places where they could eat on their phones and forgot that it was another person in the room too. Assistant Wen was standing on the other side of the room holding his tablet pressed against his chest like a high school girl holding a book and watched them like he was watching a slow-burn romance.

Once they agreed on a place to eat, she stood up and tidied the documents and saw assistant Wen from the other side of the room through the glass reflection of the coffee table. She cleared her throat when she saw him. "Assistant Wen I'm going out to have lunch with CEO Lee, just place the other documents that need my signature on my desk and I will go through it once I'm back."

"Yy...yes, CEO Shen. Enjoy your lunchtime." said assistant Wen and left shortly.

They took the private elevator down to the first floor. People in the company who saw them couldn't stop staring at them wondering what kind of relationship they have. They walked out of the building to the parking lot and drove separately with their own cars to the place they were gonna eat.

They went to a famous restaurant that is famous for their sandwich. The thing they didn't know about is that this restaurant is also known for having a lot of couple customers over. They came when the restaurant was almost full of people.

A waiter came over to them. "Excuse me are you guys a couple?"

They were looking at each other when the waiter asked.

"Yes, we are right babe?" said Francesca and winked to Kevin.

Kevin who was shocked by her response didn't wanna lose his opportunity to call her his for once and played along. "Of course sunshine,"

"Oh, that's great! Because we only have a table for couples which is available right now. This way please," said the waiter and showed the way.

They sat down and ordered the famous sandwich. Francesca was looking at the last page of the menu and saw a big glass of strawberry milkshake only for couples. "Babe can we order this big strawberry milkshake?" asked Francesca and pointed at the big glass with two golden straws on the menu picture.

"Of course, whatever you want sunshine," said Kevin and smiled.

The waiter left soon after they were done ordering. They looked at each other and didn't know what to say which made it a bit awkward. Francesca felt this awkward silence slowly coming.

"Sunshine?" said Francesca.

"Hm?" he said.

"You called me sunshine. No one has ever called me 'sunshine' before," she said and started to chuckle.

He felt suddenly embarrassed which made his ear pink.

"You could give me a better nickname like babe, princess, baby girl, gorgeous, bae or love," she said and smirked when she saw him blushing.

He cleared his throat and they both started to laugh. Another waiter who was near the counter was holding a camera and captured this rare moment of them smiling and laughing and took a picture of them.

After they were done eating, the same waiter who took a picture of them came over to them with a cute small printed cake of them. "This cake is on the house, we love to take pictures of our customers eating our delicious food and having fun. I printed the pictures for you guys and hope you guys will let us use your picture on our couple wall," said the waiter and placed the cake and the pictures on the table.

Both Francesca and Kevin were looking at the cake and smiled. "Yes of course! Feel free to use our picture," said Francesca to the waiter.

They ate the cake and had fun talking not only about business but also about their personal lives too. The waiter came with the bills which Kevin insisted on and paid for and also tipped them 80% which shocked the waiter.

He followed her to her car and opened the car door for her. She entered her car and started the car while the window rolled down. He walked closer to her car and placed his right arm on her roof car and bent down a bit to look at her.

"Thank you for lunch! I will pay the next time for sure," she said.

"Sure!" said Kevin and went a step back.

"See ya!" she said and winked before she drove off.

Kevin was looking at the red Lamborghini getting further and further away from him. His phone started to vibrate from his trouser pocket, he picked up the phone without seeing who was calling him.

Noah: [You can stop smiling like a fool now she is gone.]

Kevin: [I will hang up if you called me to only say this.]

Noah/Mark: [Well I didn't actually call you for..Give me the phone.]

Mark: [Where the hell are you? Our meeting started 30 minutes ago and instead of coming in time you decided to go on a date?]

Kevin: [First of all I'm 15 minutes late not 30 minutes. Second of all, well at least I'm 15 minutes late compared to this slackhead that didn't show up to any meeting for a month and lost 1 million dollars. Third of all June told me that this meeting wasn't important.]

Mark/Noah: [How dare he say that? So he's saying that meeting me is not important? Where is he...Kevin, it's Noah. It's an urgent meeting and it's about a new gang.]

Kevin: [Give me 10 minutes and I will be there.]

Kevin rushed over to his Roll-Royce and drove off to their main base.
