After reaching the company I go straight to dad's office I see his secretary who was coming out the office so I greet him "Good morning Mr. Albert" "Good afternoon Miss "he replied and I got so embarrassed it was already noon Mr. Albert laughed at my embarrassed face which was turning red, awkwardly cleared my throat and asked him " is dad in there" " Yes Miss he's talking to someone on the line" he said " oh okay thanks have a great day" "You too Miss" he said. After that I knock on the door then enter I saw my dad sitting down on the office chair talking to someone " okay thanks secretary Tom send my greetings to Mr. Hamilton and make sure he comes this time " he said and finished the call,
"Finally hazel you are here" "Yes dad so why did you call me to come to the office after I took a leave yesterday" I said because I was so annoyed at the old man for disturbing my sleep.
"Sorry princess I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday but you didn't come back home yesterday so I decided to check on you " " you are growing so first darling I know your mom is so proud of the woman you have become" he said and it made me feel sad remembering mom is no longer with us.
I wish she was still here but I guess God had other plans for her, "I know Dad I miss her so much" I can't believe it's been nine years since her death and dad has not moved on until now.
" So what did you call me here for I know it's not just to wish me a happy birthday" " Why are you saying that princess, but true I called you here to have dinner with me tonight at Hotel Sylvester restaurant on the top flow meet me there at 8pm sharp and don't forget to dress nicely" "huh? dinner but we can just have dinner at home dad I don't really fell like going out" I said because I just wanna go back to my apartment and sleep.
" No you are coming it's been along time since we had a family time and that's final" "Aghhh fine dad but don't scheme anything " I said because I know he has been trying to set me up on a blind date many times now which I don't even show up for because I was dating Bryan and dad never liked him. " Fine I promise it's just a normal dinner date " he said " It better be old man , am going back home now bye" After that I turned around to go out but not before him reminding me to wear something nice once again.
.....
"Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Cherif just called me to inform you that you are going to have dinner dinner with him tonight"
My assistant who just entered my office reported to me. " Dinner? where ?" Mr. Cherif was one of father's friends when he was still alive so i respect him alot.
"At Hotel Sylvester restaurant on the top flow at 8pm." "And you are going Edward" I look up to see my Best friend also my second in hand enter my office " what are you doing here Paul I thought you were busy with the work I gave you I guess I need to send you to Africa this time." " Ohh come on Edward I know you love me so much to do that also I finished everything and I have finalized the report and the answer is still the same we found nothing." "Give me I shall go through it later" I said and took the report from him I had sent him to go and get me a report of all the names and pictures of all the women here in US, to see if Xender my dragon will recognise anyone of them so that I can finally be able to find my soulmate .
"Anyways enough of all that you have to go Edward you have been rejecting the old man's call alot and you know he just wants you to meet his only daughter " Paul said "But I can just send Tom there and he will report everything to me it's better than disappointing him cause you know I will never be with anyone if she's not my mate" "But at least go, do it for your father how shall he feel when you keep on rejecting his friend like this even where he is he shall not be at peace don't you want your dad to rest in peace it's just dinner " Paul said because he knows I only have a soft spot for my dad because I feel so guilty leaving the Sheraton without a king.
"hmmm fine I shall go, now all of you out." after that I watch as I see them leave the office with a shocked face not believing I finally agreed but not forgetting to remind me to dress handsomely and smile a little.
When they finally left the office I opened the report and went through it but I felt nothing looking at the faces of the ladies," Ahh mate when will I find you " I mutter to my self while day dreaming
....
Finally after getting ready and everything I take my phone and put it inside my purse. I go to my mirror while spraying my lavender scented fume I apply some lipstick after I look at myself and wow I look gorgeous I am dressed in a black elegant but also sexy dress that is back open back open and long with a slit on the side with a red heel and red purse after being satisfied with my look I take my car keys and leave the apartment to Hotel Sylvester.
After reaching at the Hotel restaurant I take the elevator to the top flow and when I reached i realize that I'm a little bit early so I order an ice coffee and decide to check the place out since it was my first time here since I'm more of an indoor person, so while walking around I found a balcony to my left and went to stand there watching the city I mean am at the highest hotel restaurant building so why not appropriate it a little while waiting for my Dad to arrive After what felt like forever I heard my Dad's voice from the down floor so I looked down and saw a handsome man standing in a tuxedo suit with his back facing me holding a phone to his left hand I guess he was talking to someone, And at that exact time I heard my Dad's voice again and got startled and forgot I was holding an ice coffee which ended up falling down and spilling on the mans suit.
I was so shocked that I didn't realize that the man had turned around and looked up and when I looked into those gorgeous eyes of his I felt like I couldn't breathe he was so handsome he could be considered a devil because his handsomeness was out of this world, it felt as if the world had stopped around them.
And after what felt like hours she finally realized where she was "ohh shit " I said "I am so sorry" she shouted and ran back inside the restaurant leaving the the man in a daze.
