The next day, Eliza left for work early in other not to be late for the lunch date with their investors. She instructed Calohun on what to feed himself with before leaving for work. When she reached Adams choice,her boss was already outside the building waiting for her arrival. "Good morning sir" she greeted and bowed her head slightly"
"morning secretary Eliza" he greeted back.
"shall we" he said pointing at his car and hat was parked right beside them with the driver by its side"
"yes, sir" she said and they entered the passanger seat. The driver entered the driver seat and drove off.
The silence that ensued between them made her felt uncomfortable, she shifted on her seat, looking outside the window now and then. She wondered if he his also aware of her feelings for him, if a madman could notice then a sane person would notice it too, is it that obvious, she thought to herself and took a deep breath. At the thought of that, her mind and drifted back to the man who was trying to get into the television yesterday and she laughed. Dan looked at her with amazement and smiled.
"why the laughter?" he asked
"am sorry if I startled you" she said
"it okay"
"sir, is it possible for someone not to Know what a television is at this time and age?" she asked
"I don't think so, even people in the villages know what a television is, why did you ask?"
"I met someone who was trying to get into the television"
"get in, you mean trying to go in through the screen?" he asked and she nodded her head.
"so I thought maybe the person hasn't seen a television before or doesn't know what it is"
"is not possible, except maybe the person is from the Marine kingdom"
"Marine kingdom?"
"hmm". it can't be, she mutterd to herself and shook her head
"what did you say?"
"nothing" she said, then her phone rang and she hastily brought it out from her hand bag and answered the call.
"hi Lizzy" she said
"hi, how are you doing?"
"cool, great, you?"
"fine, I missed your call"
"hmm I called this morning"
"is everything okay?"
"hm, I have a patient I would love he to bring in for check up"
"who?"
"you will see when we come"
"okay"
"expect us in the evening"
"okay, I have to go now"
"okay, bye" she said and hung up the call. She scrolled through her contacts list and sighed, I should get him a phone, she thought to herself. They got to R&B restaurant, where the breakfast date with their investors was arranged and came down from the blue Royce rolls and went inside the restaurant. It was busy and occupied by customers and their breakfast dates were nowhere in sight.
"I think we have to wait" Eliza said and sighed. They were about to take their seats when two females staffs walked up to them. "Mr Dan, Please follow us" one of the lady said and smiled.
"why?" he asked
"Mr Daniel asked me to escort you" the lady said and smiled. Eliza noticed as the lady twisted in front of Dan, smiling at him now and then, brushing her hair to her ear in a seductive way and she scoffed.
"okay then, lead the way" Dan said and the lady along with her partner, led them to a private elevator. They got into the elevator and the lady pressed the number of the floor they were going, then turned to Dan and offered him a smile again.They arrived at the third floor and the ladies led them out, leading them through an empty corridor. Eliza and Dan threw a suspicious glance at each other
"is this place built for customer service too?" Dan threw the question at the ladies in front of Them.
"yes" the second lady replied and bowed her head slightly. "it is for VIP guest" she concluded and Dan nodded his head. They kept walking until they got to a dead end with a huge door.
"we are here" the first lady said and knocked on the huge door then she opened the door and their lunch dates where there, eating and chatting. "go in" the lady said and they entered and the door shut behind them. They looked back at the closed door and sighed. The two ladies that led them in didn't come in with them.
"Mr Dan" Daniel Herdson said and stood from his seat.
"hope you have been good sir" Dan said and extended his arm for an handshake. Daniel gladly took it in his own and shook them lightly before letting it go. Dan shook hands with the rest of the three men. They were all elderly men, some where even older than his father. They all had young girls by their side caressing and flattering them. Eliza stared at the sight before her irritatedly and cursed under her breath.
"Have your seat" Daniel said and Dan sat down beside him and Eliza took her seat beside Dan, sitting in the middle of Dan and another of their investors.
"who is she" Alfred, another of the investors ask and looked at her seductively and Eliza cursed under her breath, I shouldn't have sat here, she thought to herself and look at Alfred who was sitted beside her with a devilish smile on his face then at the young lady who was sitted at the his left side, caressing his face.
"my secretary" Dan replied and offered the old man a smile.
"oh, I see" Alfred said and laughed then he looked down at her again, scanning her body seductively with his eyes and Eliza clenched her fist under the table. Dan noticed how Alfred seductively looked at Eliza and hated himself for bringing her.
"I so much love you because we go by the same name" Daniel said and Dan diverted his attention to him
"yes sir it is quite interesting"
"and that is why I want to invest in your company"
"thank you sir" he said
"lets eat and drink, we will discuss the details later" Daniel said and laughed and the rest joined him .Dan looked at Alfred who still had his eyes fixed on Eliza, he wished he could hit the man, but he dare not try that. Suddenly, Alfred placed his hands on Eliza thigh and squessed it and Eliza shrieked in fear. "what is your name pretty?" Alfred asked.
