After the Boss finished talking, I really wasn't listening so I didn't even know what the whole thing was all about.
He kept glancing at me once in a while, and I couldn't take my eyes off him. I wasn't even trying to.
"Lily Adams" I turned to look at the HR manager that just called me. When did she start talking?
"Yes ma?"
"You'll be working alongside Mr Frisco throughout his stay here."
Mr Frisco? Oh right! he's the boss's son. Wait, why would I be working with him? Why me? And when did they make this decision?
"Okay" I replied, still confused. I whispered to Mia, "will he be working here from now on?"
"Dumbass, haven't you been listening at all? You were busy staring at Mr handsome. He'll be working with us for the period of two months before going out of the country again." she explains
"Lucky for you, you'll be working with him, so you can stare at him all you want." she added.
I just rolled my eyes at her and turn back to look at him.
The meeting was over, everybody was heading out of the door. Mia walked out too, I was about leaving, when I heard Ziko's voice. Oh Ziko, I forgot about him for a moment.
"Wait Lily, let's talk"
I knew Ziko was watching me while I was looking at him. Here comes the talk.
I don't even have any excuses as to why I was staring at another man in front of my boyfriend. At least none that could be shared with Ziko.
"Look Ziko....." I started explaining but was cut short by a mesmerising voice that said, "Miss Adams". I almost melted at that spot. Turning back I was faced with the owner of that melodious voice. It was him. He was still standing where he was standing since the beginning of the meeting.
I thought everybody left.
"Yes?" I replied stuttering a bit. I wasn't ready for this. Not in front of Ziko. Who was this man and why has he been appearing in my dreams? My heart has started beating very fast.
"I'd like to have a word with you in my office right now if you don't mind." He said emphasizing on the right now.
Ziko was still standing patiently behind me. I don't deserve this guy.
"Ziko, we'll talk later, I guess" I said in a whisper to Ziko. He just nodded and walked out of the meeting hall.
"Okay sir"
He had a straight face on. He was neither smiling nor frowning.
Does he have the same dream like I do? Does he recognize me too? Well, if he does, he's doing a very good job hiding it. Unlike me that was gawking at me, he paid little attention to me.
I'm sure the only reason he wants to see me is because I was going to be working with him. How is this possible in the first place? Was I still dreaming? Was this all a dream?
He walked out briskly without saying another word to me and I followed him out.
When we got to his office, he motioned for me to sit in the chair opposite his.
Now that I was looking at him closely, he had a strong resemblance with the Boss. The same bulgy eyes and large nose that seem to fit his face perfectly. His lips were the perfect shape and size, it's what you can call the kissable lips. How come I never saw any resemblance of him with my Boss in my dreams. Or was this a different person entirely?
But I was so sure it's him. Do I need to go back to my dreams and confirm?
He cleared his throat, just like his father normally does before talking. I'm starting to think they have some issues with their vocal chords.
"Is there something on my face miss Lily?" he asked, still with a straight face.
I was staring too hard. Oh Lily, what sort of a creep are you?
"No sir" I replied immediately looking at his desk.
"Well Lily, it's nice to finally meet you" he said, with a small smirk playing on his lips.
Did he just say finally meet you?
I remember he told me in my dreams that we'll meet soon. Was this what he meant?
My head shot up immediately after I came to this realization. But the smirk was all gone from his face like it was never there in the first place. Was I imagining things? Was I going crazy?
I decided to talk. I decided it was time to stop being quiet.
"what do you mean finally meet me sir?" I asked confidently. Or so I thought until his eyes caught mine and I looked back at the desk immediately.
"The HR manager and her assistant has told me so much about you while you were on leave. This was because I was told I'd be working with you. They told me you are hard working."
I feel like a stupid person right now. How could I have thought he had the same dreams as me or that he recognized me from his dreams.
I'm an idiot. All those were just dreams.
No it wasn't, and you know it, that small voice in my head whispered.
Wait, does this mean Mia knew all along that I was going to be working with him and didn't tell me? She was the HR assistant and if I wasn't mistaken, that's what I heard him just say.
I'm going to tear that girl into two. Why didn't she tell me about all this. Okay, I know I just got back this morning. But still, It won't take her seconds to tell me. And besides we were talking about him all through the meeting.
"I can see you have a lot of things going on in your head miss Adams" he states when he noticed I spaced out.
If only you knew
"I'm sorry, did you say something sir?"
"I was asking you to brief me on what is going on in the company"
Oh right. I was here to work.
Even with all the things going through my mind, I managed to tell him about the things he wanted to know. Trying not to catch his eyes, I was looking at his desk while explaining. If that desk had a mouth, I'm sure it'd have called me a creep for staring so hard right now.
"So the major supplier of our raw milk is The Alfalfa Dairy Farm?" he inquired.
"Yes, sir. After signing a deal with their farm five months ago, they are now the major supplier. And that's because they have the best milk quality and produce more quantity when compared to other farms that supplies us. We can go weeks without taking in any supplies from other farms because the one we get from the ADF is enough for production." I said this all in one breath, without a pause.
"I can see you are very good at your job" he compliments
"Thank you Sir"
"That'll be all, I'll call you if I need any more information"
"Okay sir"
I stood up and walked back to my office.
Just few minutes later, he office phone rang and when I picked up. It was him calling.
