Chapter 9 - Chapter 9

"Calm down, I will tell you on our way, you know you have to be in the office early", he said picking up his car keys.

"Let it not be that you are trying to avoid it", I said looking at him suspiciously.

"I'm not and why should I, I promise to tell you on our way", he said dragging me out of the house.

He finally dragged me out and locked the door and we entered the car and drove off.

"We are on our way already, so start talking", I said facing him so I can see and hear him at the same time.

"You are really a pest, why do you want to know about it?", he asked me.

"Why don't you want to tell me", I answered him with a question.

"Well, it's not as if I don't want to tell you just that it's confidential", he spoke and I looked at him with a very bad eye.

"Confidential, woah, You could have told me earlier than making me disturb myself", I said angrily and turned towards the window.

"Please don't be mad at me, I know it's the first time I do not want to tell you anything", he said feeling bad because he told Erica that he wouldn't tell me.

"Don't worry, I'm not mad", I said and remained quiet.

Silence fell between us as no one wants to talk and we were like that till we reached to my house.

We arrived at my place and I got off the car without looking at him or thanking him and I went towards the door and he drove off immediately I entered the house.

I went straight to my room and laid down on the bed staring at the ceiling.

"He actually refused to tell me", I cried out to myself.

Then I stood up and went straight to the bathroom to freshen up and get ready for work. As I was about to enter the bathtub, my phone rang and it was my Dad.

"Good morning my angel, how was your night?", my Dad asked from the other end of the phone.

"Good morning Dad, my night was good and yours", I greeted.

"Well mine was also good, hope there isn't any problem and you are okay", he asked.

"I'm fine Dad, it's just stress from work", I said sitting down back on the bed.

"My angel, if the work stresses you out, please don't hesitate to resign and I don't even know why you are working when your Dad is a billionaire", he proudly said.

"Dad, you know I can't be depending on your money, I need to be independent so when I have my own family, I can boast you just did", I said laughing.

"I understand my angel but don't stress yourself too much and always eat and be happy, okay", he said to me.

"I will Dad, take care of yourself and I have to get ready for work now, so bye", I said ending the call to avoid another talk from him.

Then I went back to the bathroom and had my bath, came out and dried my hair, applied cream on my body and face, then went to my closet and picked out a blue gown which I wore with a pair of red shoes and red bag to match it up.

"Perfect", I said, comb and left my hair down my shoulders.

I left the room and picked up a car key among the ones there because it was part of me to choose a car which fits in with the dress I wear. I locked the door and went to the car and drove off to the office.

"Good morning ma'am", these were greetings coming from different angles as I got down from the car and handed the keys to a staff whose job was to park cars in the parking lot.

"Good morning", I responded as I walked straight to my office.

"Good morning ma'am", greetings from my secretary.

"Morning, please get me a cup of black coffee with less sugar and much milk, just the way I love it", I said as I entered the office.

"Okay ma'am", she said while going to the coffee shop.

As I sat down on my chair, followed a knock on my door.

"Come in", I said.

The door opened and my secretary entered with the cup of coffee.

"So fast", I said in surprise.

"I didn't actually get to the coffee shop, on my way I met Mr Edin and he gave me the coffee and asked me to give it to you so I decided that there was no need of going there since It was exactly what you ordered", she said looking down, for she knows that I would scold her but to her surprise I didn't.

"Drop the coffee on the table and go back to your duty post", I said calmly.

"okay ma'am", she stammered still in shock as she went back to her seat.

"Why would he even think of buying me coffee?", I asked myself, still picking up the coffee as I drank it and it was exactly the way I love having my coffees.

"He's such an annoying jerk but still so special to me", I cried out.

I picked up the telephone there and called in my secretary.

"For lunch, I would like to have sandwich and vanilla ice cream, please don't forget", I said just to remind her of my lunch.

"Okay ma'am, I won't forget", she said and left.

Then I faced the documents which were on my table and went through them until I finished half of it and decided to take a nap.

Before sleeping, I let my secretary know so that there won't be any disturbance of any kind.

I slept for about an hour and when I woke up it was lunchtime and my order was already on the table, and I hungrily ate them all and cleared the table before going back to the remaining work I left before taking a nap.

Edin on the other side, was in his office thinking about me and how he will approach me because he believes that I'm mad at him.

"How will I make it up to her or better still I will tell her about it", he thought.
