"How do I look Daniel?" Rowan asked his assistant for the tenth time as he was preparing to leave for Rose's office.
"You look okay sir. I am sure madam would love it." Daniel hopelessly replied as he inwardly shook his head. That's what love does to people!
Rowan confidently got into his car as his assistant took the wheel, the man barely keeping calm.
'I would die to have a piece of that!'
'Aaaah! Someone please call the doctor!'
'Damn!'
'He is so handsome!'
'Kyaa!!'
Different ladies fan girled as Rowan made his way to the elevator not bothering with the surroundings as his mind was loyal to one woman. His body, mind and soul.. they were all loyal to one woman and one woman only.
"President, Mr Lee is here to see you." Diana interrupted Rose who nodded her head in acknowledgement signalling for them to come in.
"Good day President Katz."
"Good day President Lee. We can proceed."
Without wasting Time, they began discussing their collaboration, with their assistants noting down everything and at some point adding in a few suggestions.
He looked focused on the outside but he was busy checking her out, her dressing, her beautiful face, her enticing chest..well.. the view before him impressed him greatly and there was no denying it. Rose on the other hand had long noticed his actions but pretended not to care since she didn't want anything romantic at the moment or even ever.
At the same time, at the biggest airport in the country landed a blonde dignified lady. She stood tall as she scanned her environment, nodding her head from time to time indicating that she was impressed.
"I'm back home.."
"Welcome back young miss." An old man slightly bowed as he took her suitcase to the trunk. The girl did not bother giving back a proper reply but just dismissed him with her hand as she got into the back seat.
This rude young lady is Georgina May. Daughter of one of the top politicians of the country. She has been out of the country for nearly ten years and now that she's back, she intends to bring back her strong footing in the upper socialite society.
"Publish my return back to the country and make sure it garners alot of attention, promote it as much as possible." She rudely instructed the other person at the end of the phone before hanging up without waiting for a response. She looked at her wallpaper and fondly smiled.
"I am back for your Rowan. Just wait and see. I failed to get you last time but this time round, my target is Mrs Lee to be. She creepily smiled, making the old driver just shake his head as he knew the lunatic young miss of the May family is back and she is likely to cause a lot and a lot and a lot of havoc.
She continuously called different people giving them different instructions, as the last person she finally called was her father.
" Hello dad, I am now back and I am requesting the mansion for a party. This might.. just scratch that. I'm not even requesting, I will be hosting a party this Saturday to remind the people that I am back."
The man on the other end did not bother saying anything much and just curtly replied before hanging up. Georgina didn't mind her father hanging up on her, provided he gave her the money and did everything that she asked. And of course, stayed out of her business.
"That will be all for today. Thank you so much for your presence president Lee and once again, happy collaboration, happy partnership."
Rose shook Rowan's hand as they sealed the deal for the second time, their assistants making sure to have recorded and captured each and every moment of the meeting. As the two assistants seemed to fill the tense air around, they quickly excused themselves, leaving the two presidents alone.
Rowan gathered his courage before giving her a small smile. "I don't know if anyone has told you today, but you look so beautiful President Katz and I would love to take you out for dinner someday."
Rose scanned the man sharply, not bothering to conceal her coldness for a whole minute before she gave him a formal smile with a with a small Thank you and as if she was thinking about whether to say a compliment back or not she immediately added a sentence to her previous one.
"To you too Mr. Lee."
Once again, Rose did not know that she had just done an action that would cause Rowan to misinterpret her, as the man took it as her agreeing to equally wanting to have dinner with him. Rose didn't mind much, nor did she think much about him and about his words.
As she proceeded to do her work, he left the Katz cooperation with a smile as he headed back to his office, feeling relaxed, calm and happy.
This is because he had managed to be in the same space as the woman he loved, the woman he had feelings for, for a whole 3 hours, breathing in her sweet rose and caramel scent.
The two presidents both proceeded with their duties for the day, each with their own workload and each with their own line of thoughts, one being madly in love and the other one despising and having pure hatred for the word love.
"President, it is time for the appointment with Mr K. We should be leaving for the restaurant."
Diana informed Rose as the two women packed their items as left to attend the said meeting.
In one of the elite schools In the country stood a group of boys who had surrounded a timid looking guy.
"You know you are not supposed to be here. What is a peasant like you doing in such a school. Look at the people around you. Everyone is rich, everyone is screaming money. And what about you, peasant like boy? Now get out of our sight!"
The young man was pushed out of the circle as one of the bullies proceeded to kick him on the knees making the guy unintentionally kneel as he used his hands to balance himself, trying to prevent tears from coming out and at the same time, gritting his teeth in anger. He looked at his school uniform that was already dirty, touched his already ruffled hair, and just by running his hands across his face, he could feel the eye bags that were under his eyes. But instead of bothering much, he took a deep sigh before leaving the school compound. Since it was a bright, beautiful evening, the young man chose to walk for a distance before catching a bus or catching some sort of transport back home.
As he was walking, he came across a cafe, a coffee shop that seemed to attract and call him. Looking back and confirming that there were no bullies or no one was from his school was paying attention to him, the guy got into the coffee shop.
He ordered some coffee alongside a snack as he sat patiently looking out of the window, admiring the beautiful evening. The young man thought that he had found peace at that moment, but before he could even admire the evening enough he felt a glass of water being poured on his head, followed by a group of laughter.
He inwardly sighed as he tried to control his anger, tried to control his temper before looking up at the boys. Before one of the boys could look or could say anything mean to him, they heard a beautifully captivating sound of a young lady that stopped everyone and every other action around them.
