Leon kept on writting at his desk.He did not want to see anybody today.He kept on updating the drafts of his new project in his tablet.
He heard a faint knock on his door.before he could answer someone peered in.He sighed."Come in"he ushered. "Sir i brought you tea "sarah smiled and walked in".she knew he had a weakspot for tea and knew he loved buns too.but she avoided that cause he never ate much when he was moody.
"Sir whats wrong"
"Nothing!"
"You can tell me,i see you are not okay!"
"Nothing really!"
"Sir!!"
"Now you are the problem!!" Leon smirked.
Sarah looked sideways,appearing hurt.Leon noticed but he assumed it.But she was determined to cheer him up.he secretly loved this fact about her,but never openly admitted it.
"You know that florist,ben did a funny thing today"
"What !!"
" he was singing a funny song in the washroom .looked like he was dancing too.but the door was slightly closed.he also had a mopper with him.it looked like it was his mic.
"And then?"
"The mopper hit the door and we were walking towards his direction.Boom!! a suprised ben realised the door was open and his jeans were still on his ankles.!!"
"Thats a corny story!!you made it all up!" Leon just chuckled but he still looked upset.
Sarah looked at him adoringly.She wondered what she liked in him and saw the gentle warm eyes..with blue pupils,his sharp tuxedo suit.the way his mouth was perfectly curved.his hairlocks and was crazily loving this guy.
Then the doorbell rang and someone walked in.It was a lean rough looking guy ."do you have an appointment?"sarah asked angrily and just in time realized it was ben and giggled.
"Uh oh ben !"
"So you are ben!"leon said disapprovingly "speak up!"
"I saw madam here with tea and maybe thought if i could buy a cup.!"
"Buy a cup?!"leon and sarah asked in unison?"
"Yeah a cup of tea!"
Leon found himself laughing and really liked ben.
The ben spoke.Leon realized he likes to pay attention to small details that he never knew existed before.He noticed ben had a deep echoing voice.It was the sort of voice that commanded respect,attention or rather could easily reprimand you.
He remembered his father.He would soon be back from overseas.The golf tournament he had waited for eagerly was near.He had practiced so hard with his team.He always had a soft spot for sports.Leon used to laugh when he always narrated of how he was kicked out of the rugby team .He was always the one whose ass got kicked hard all the time.
"Someone wants to see you"ben said.He was drinking tea from a mug and no one had noticed he had slipped right besides them and grabbed a mug .
"Who?"sarah and ben asked in unison."a girl!" Ben said.
Leon looked at him with squinted eyes.He started having weird ideas.sarah stood up to take the dirty cups on a platter to the sink at the farthest corner of the office.
"Let her in!" Leon said,but deeply thinking if it was right to allow people in his office without appointments.He knew his dad never liked his way of doing things.but that was all for now,nothing else mattered.
A girl walked into the office timidly clutching a small handbag .she wore a spotted dress and had a bobby hat.leon looked up and his face brightened up.
"Good morning sir,i wanted to say..
The door bell rang and ben went to open it. A well dressed man in an italian suit walked in with two other men.they were carrying bags and boxes."place them here!"
"Dad?"leon stood up.He was surprised and he walked to him.It was a big suprise and he was taken aback. As they were talking while going back to their seats leon noticed sarah pushing daisy and ben out.
He wanted to stop sarah but again he assumed.He was battling with his thoughts.He decided to concentrate on his dad
