Chapter 72 - Lonely

Camilla had tried on the different dresses until she finally got the one she loved. Alfred had sent a text asking if they could meet and she sent him a text of her location.

"Mom, do you remember Alfred?" she asked her mother.

"Yeah, he was a fascinating man "

"He's coming over now. I met him last time and his still funny as always " she laughed.

Ray was busy with his phone, Camilla didn't mind him and went back to change.

Alfred picked them up and took them out for coffee.

Ray and her mother ordered coffee while Camilla and Alfred had milkshakes.

They were chatting about how Camilla had given him a hard.

"She hit me once and the other time I had to hide cause she kept spitting at me every time Camilla saw my face "

"Finally he here " Ray exclaimed watching the door.

They all turned to see Chris walk in, Ray had sent him the address of the place and he rushed off.

Camilla got up running to him, "Love, you came " he saw her coming and opened his arms holding her in a tight her.

She led him back to the table where Alfred moved back to create more space for them.

"Thought you had a lot of work today?" she was holding onto his arm.

"I decided to come to join you guys since nothing is more important than you " he smiled.

"Too much display of affection guys, it's making me sick " Ray turned away.

"Well you young ones have fun, I have to be somewhere else " Camilla's mother got up.

"Where mom?"

"To see if the men are handling their side of the job seriously " she smiled saying her goodbye then left.

Ray got up too "Since ain't the boss of my company yet, I have to go back to work now " he waved them goodbye without waiting for them to say anything.

"Can I have some cake?" Camilla asked Chris.

He nodded and ordered some for her.

"But not too much," he told her.

"You both make me feel lonely and jealous " Alfred chuckled.

Camilla frowned, "Mmm, sorry Alfred. We didn't mean to "

"Well, I meant it " Chris murmured.

Camilla slapped his head, "Hi, don't be rude .his really sad "

Then why doesn't he date anyone?" Chris rubbed the part of his head she had hit.

Camilla noticed and kissed his cheek saying sorry.

"It's because am always working and never get the time " Alfred explained.

"Hmmm" Chris fed Camilla the cake that had been bought.

"Maybe I and Camilla can help set you up with blind dates, as long as you tell us your type of partner ".Chris suggested.

Alfred laughed, "That won't be necessary "

"Why, you don't think we can get you one or your type is someone else's partner?" Chris asked turning to Camilla.

Alfred got what he was saying and shook his head while Camilla giggled.

"It's not that, my type is more complicated than that " Alfred smirked.

Camilla fed some cake to Chris too "

"His type is more of masculine type," she said.

"Oh, you want a strong masculine woman. That's not hard, I have a few friends I can introduce "

Alfred smiled, "I appreciate your help but am good "

He fell silent after and watched them feed each other with a smile. After receiving a call from the hospital, he said goodbye and left.

Jack was standing outside waiting for his boss when he saw the stranger again. Alfred stopped when his gaze landed on Jack.

He walked up to him with a smile now on his face, Jack stood still and looked up at the tall stranger. He had heard about his boss and Camilla about how he was her doctor once but his boss seemed not to like him.

"Your Jack, Chris's driver," he said.

Jack nodded. Alfred extended his hand, "Am Alfred, a friend of your boss and his fiancee " he said.

Jack nodded again, "I know," he said not taking his hand

Alfred chuckled seeing his cold attitude. He glanced back at the cafe. then turned and walked off to his car.

Camilla and Chris walked out later holding a little box.

"Waited too long?" Chris asked.

Jack shook his head, "No, it's not that windy today "

"Here, for you " Camilla passed him the box.

He took with a confused face, "It's for making you wait that long " she said.

Chris opened the car and helped Camilla in then turned to Jack who still looked lost.

He chuckled, "I know it's your job but your still human," he said then got in.

Jack nodded and got into the car, thanked them for the car, and started the car.
