Chereads / A Fortunate Meeting / Chapter 9 - Who?

Chapter 9 - Who?

Jordan Dean was having his breakfast while David was busy drowning in his own thoughts. Offcourse he didn't dare to ask Jordan any further about the girl that appeared out of nowhere lastnight. Before he could make further assumptions his eyes shifted on to the same girl that was now trailing down the stairs with a cute dress sticking onto her petite figure.

Slowly walking towards their direction, she greeted "Good morning"

"Morning!" Both the men spoke in unision. There was a moment of silence when both the male eyed eachother for some reason, Jordan ended up clearing his throat out of little embarrassment and spoke

"Ms.Lilly, have your breakfast. You'll be working with me in the company from today!"

Lilly-"WHAT?"

David-"FROM TODAY?"

They both shouted in unision.

"Ah why are you two being so loud? I can hear you well" Jordan exclaimed out of irritation.

"You said she is already your co-worker but how come today is her first day?" David questioned with a frown on his face.

Hearing the word co-worker, there was a hint of sadness visible on Lilly's face. It showed hurt because Jordan introduced her just as a co-worker and nothing more. Afterall her love meant nothing to him she thought.

"Starting to work with me from today still makes her a co-worker" Jordan stated with a 'duh' tone leaving David with an 'oh' face.

"But Mr.Jordan I never said I'll work at your company" Lilly quoted.

"Too late Ms.Lilly. Since you are already here on your own will you must respect my words" Jordan spoke with full of cockiness.

As much as she wanted to wipe that smirk off his face, she chose to stay quiet.

"Yes, Ms.Lilly. Take that into consideration because don't you think it makes your things go easier? I mean you have someone like Jordan with you and you both can spend some time together, thats what I actually meant!" David suggested her, indirectly making some attempts to get both Jordan and Lilly closer.

David turned nervous as he was invited with Jordan's intense glare "We are not going there on a date to spend some time together, we are going there to work ! And Ms.Lilly finish your breakfast. I'll be waiting in the car" He coldly blurted out.

It would be a lie if Lilly didn't want to work in Dean's company but she didn't want to leave her other job just like that. So she spoke "But -" she was cut off.

"No buts Ms.Lilly, you are coming! And that's the end of discussion!" Jordan declared and stormed out with is cold aura while on the other hand David was standing amused by the change in Jordan's behavior.

"What did you do to him?" David amusingly questioned her.

"Huh?" She was confused.

"You just happened yesterday and I can already see changes in him" It surprised him.

She rolled her eyes at David's comeback "Change? Tch! He is a cold-blooded human" She quoted and left.

(At Dean's co-operation)

Just like every other day employees would greet their boss as he strolled past them but today was different as everybody's attention was on the girl that Silently followed Mr.Jordan Dean. It looked so unusual, that's because they never saw their boss having a girl next to him before. He would always shoo away the girls that tried to cling on to him.

The two of them were soon inside Jordan's office. Since nobody was around Lilly took this as an opportunity to speak. "Mr.Jordan I can't betray my job to work here"

He gradually walked around the desk and sat on his chair. "What's your job Ms.Lilly ?" He questioned.

"I-I work as a librarian" She answered with a low voice.

"Librarian? Hmm ... I'll pay you more so stay here!" The cocky Jordan was back again.

She scoffed at his words out of disbelief

"I don't work just for money, I work because I love my job Mr.Jordan!"

Jordan was taken back by her comeback but he liked the way she said it. Also he wasn't ready to let her work there all day. "Ok fine, you can work here half time and the other half there"

Before she could speak further Jordan's assistant entered the office and greeted his him, not forgetting to eye the new girl in the office.

"Good morning Mr.Jordan, you are early today"

"Yeah. Morning Mr.kim" Noticing Mr.kim stealing glances at the girl Jordan moved forward and introduced her "This is Lilly, she'll start working here from today and Ms.Lilly this is my secretary Mr.kim" They both greeted eachother.

"Mr.kim take Ms.Lilly to Tony and inform him to guide her" Jordan stated while opening his file. Lilly had no choice but to follow Mr.Kim because if she talked back to Jordan he would fire back at her for sure.

They both walked together and entered a cabin across the ceo's office. There was a blonde guy with dark brows who was busy with his laptop but within seconds his attention diverted onto the people who just entered his cabin.

"Mr.Tony, Boss ordered you to guide Ms.Lilly. She is new here so take care of her". Tony was dumbfounded to see a pretty girl in his cabin which brought a playful smile on his face "Sure, I CAN take care of her" he uttered with a flirty tone. Mr.Kim nodded and left to attend an important call while Lilly nervously stood there not knowing what to do. She could already feel the wierd vibes from this Tony guy.

"Hi I'm Tony" he brought his hand forward for a handshake "Hello I'm Lilly " They introduced themselves and shook their hands. Tony lightly pecked the back of her palms, taking her off guard. Being taken back a bit she just gave him an uncomfortable smile.

"Have a seat, Make yourself comfortable Lilly" He guided her to sit, with his hands grasping onto her shoulders. Lilly was irritated by his flirty and touchy behavior which made her so uneasy.

Tony on the other side tried his best to get with her but Little did they know that both of them were being watched by Jordan and to make their day even more worse the boss was fuming with anger.

"The bride is missing" Blaze informed while keeping up with his uneven breaths.

Jay's parents stood frozen out of shock, it was the least thing they ever wanted to happen. This was enough to ruin all their family business plans with the william's .

"What are you talking about Blaze?" Jay's father asked with an unknown fear, hoping for it to be dream, he was so terrified.

"Yes what you heard is true Mr.Evan. I'm sure I made all the enquiry" Blaze said.

"This couldn't happen. Why did the william's hide this from us? Go make all arrangements to search her" Mr.Evan angrily ordered his men.

"ENOUGH! I am not marrying a girl who ran away with her lover" Jay let out his anger.

His parents were shook again, it felt as if they were hit by a lightning while Blaze was even more shocked to hear Jay. He panicked!Before anyone could speak Jay stormed out.

Blaze quickly follwed Jay and stopped him ."Did you really see the bride running away with her lover" Blaze asked out of curiousity with his knitted brows.

Jay smirked "No, It was just an excuse to avoid this marriage". Blaze nodded in confusion.

Jay was about to walkout again but soon stopped mid in his tracks as if something hit his mind "Blaze? Where were you after Lilly escaped? I never saw you again that day!"

He gasped a little since it was an unexpected question "I got a call from my mother. She was ill and it was urgent so I had to visit her" Jay had never met Blaze's parents before, honestly he didn't even know about Blaze having parents eventhough they both were close. Its just that the conversation about their where abouts never came up.

Jay hummed while nodding "May I visit her sometime?"

"Ye-Yeah sure Jay" He stuttered a bit.

"And one more thing, start searching for Emily williams. Jay smirked again.

Blaze was confused "why ?"

"Find her and make sure she won't return so that this so called marriage thing with Williams comes to an END!" Jay was proud with his idea while Blaze raised his eyebrows and nodded.

The situation was getting out of hand since it was tough for Lilly to handle this creepy guy infront of her. She had enough and had already lost her patience.

"I think I saw you somewhere before Lilly"

"Yeah that's why I don't go there anymore!" She blurted out and left the cabin with a huff.

Instead of getting offended by her comeback Tony just pulled out a nasty smile on his face.

"Oww Fiesty one, I like it!"

Lilly stomped off to Jordan's office but she was stopped in the mid of her track by a strange blonde woman who was wearing a short fitting dress with a plunging neckline revealing some chaos there and an ugly face which is only good for caking up the makeup.

"So, you're the girl that Jordan brought huh? *scowls* Do you think yourself as Ms.universe? Well you are too ugly for him" The blonde girl arrogantly spoke.

"Good, I was trying to look like you" Lilly carelessly fired back.

She felt offended, her eyes widened and stinged with rage."What did you say?"

"Oh sorry! I didn't know that you are deaf. My bad!" Lilly smirked. *What's with the blonde people today* she thought while rolling her eyes.

"How dare you-" she didn't even get the chance to complete.

"Who are you in the first place?" Lilly was annoyed with this girl.

"I'm Jordan's fiance!"

EH?
