There are only three males and a female in the boardroom with enough chairs to house more like twenty people.
The moment we walk in, they all stood.
"Good morning sir." They greets almost as one.
"Good morning." Mate answers.
"Good morning." I greet them as that's all I can think of right now as I gave each of them a once over to determine who am competing with.
Okay, scratch that.
I want to know who among them is obsessed with my boyfriend just like that bitchy female of long ago.
The problem now is this, none of them look ordinary. They're not like the normal workers I passed, their clothing alone are enough to tell that this people are indeed not ones you mess up with.
The tailor made suit the females are wearing made their shape really prominent. It makes me want to remove them from their body.
It's not what you're thinking!
There's no way I'll want to remove their clothes for sexual purposes. I Just want to remove them and help them put on sacks. This way my Mate won't have to look at their seductive body.
Another thing that bothered me is how young the look. This isn't the age I imagined people here to be. I thought it'll be just like the movies where those in the boardroom are as old as my father * should I have one.*
Never did I expect to be as young and beautiful as this. Even the males look really handsome.
Looking at them made me wonder if Mate have dated one of them. I just don't think it's possible he sat among these people all day, but never did date one person.
It's just not possible.
At least not in the sea of people.
"Oh hi." One of the females smiles at me. "What a cute boy." She smiles.
"Boy?" I frown at her.
How can she call me a cute boy when am still of the same age with Mate?
He might have only being two months older than me, but that doesn't mean I get to be called cute.
"Is he your younger brother sir?" The other females smiles as if am a small boy who came to visit my brother in the boardroom.
This is one of the reasons why I killed someone in Pakistan* am just exaggerating! Don't just mind me.*
But I won't mind getting my hand dirty if it means I get to have them stop referring to me as a small boy.
I know am petite, but that doesn't mean they have the right to call me little. Am by far more than little.
They can't just call me that.
" Am... "
"Actually, he's not my brother. Please meet Laty, he's my boyfriend." Mate smiles. His face real bright as he said the boyfriend word.
Looking at him, one will think he've won some sort of lottery, but I know that's far from the truth.
" Boyfriend? " One of the males laughs. "Are you joking with us or what?"
"We know you don't date, so how possible is it you just brought a boyf like that?" The other female asked.
Hearing their words made me turn murderous. Do they think am a joke all because I happen to get what none of them have ever attained before?
I would have shown them exactly what am made of, but Mate's hand on mine stopped me from doing what I planned on doing.
Had that not being the fact, I would have given them a lecture with my fist, this way they'll know the right way to talk to me.
"I don't see the reason why I need to lie about my boyfriend." Mate pecks my mouth. "This is Lat, the completion of my company's name. Taly Tame. Without him, there was only a Tame, but now I've found him, it's all complete." Mate says with a smile as he led me to the chair at the beginning of the table..
Sitting me on it, he sits near me. His workers still standing, all gave us a look as if trying to decipher the meaning of Mate's words.
"You just met him right?"
"No, I met him long ago. Just recently found him. Now are we going to start with the meeting, or should we continue on with the personal stuffs? " Mate raises a brow.
" Let's start. "
" This is a private meeting between the share holders, why is he here? " One of the female looks at me as if am sort sort of dirt who found its way to her slippers.
The workers in this company are really trying to make my murderous steak rise.
" Had you listened to my words, you would have discovered something. As the company shares the same name as Laty over here, it means he's a part of this as much as I am." He place his hand on my shoulder, and that elicited a smile on my face.
"He's part of this?" She ask in a skeptical tone.
"You heard me right. "
*
Hopefully, there were no more words about me shared. It's as if they all decided to mind their business, and discuss the reason why they're here.
Aside from the occasional dark looks from some of them, everything went perfectly well. Aside from the petty argument between them when the issue of a promotional video was raised, there was no incident at all.
Right now, we're the only two in the boardroom. The others have already gone back to wherever it is they go to.
Right now, I don't care about it.
"How was your first meeting?" Mate ask with a smile.
Discarding his suit, be loosen the tie.
"No comment." I give him a look. " You know this is some sort of a lion's den, and you decide to take me with you?" I frown at him.
" That's the reason I brought you. I wanted to wad off the girls who doesn't allow me rest. Without you here, they would have being all over me." He sighs.
" You made use of me as a buffer?" I slowly walk towards him, a malicious intent on my expression.
