Julia's POV
"What??. Harrison's in a relationship?!",Juan exclaimed with blood drain from her face .
"What?."It's not like he's going to be single forever".
"But..I've always been asking you for his number?",Juan said
"Are you crazy? I can't give my boss's number out to anyone not even a close relative", I told her vividly.
"Why not? What if something happens to you , let's say. Mum isn't here in London and I have to take care in case the uncertain happens to you and you are even failing to give me your boss's number",Just complained.
"Oh please.., don't ever use that as an excuse." Nothing would even happen to me so it can be a burden to you". "We both know the reason why you want to badly have his phone number". "For your information, how would you know if he's the one to answer any random number".
"Well I could be his angel sent from above",Juan said rolling her eyes.
"Whatever. I think Ann is a great person for him considering the fact that I like her too".
"It's fine but you'd like me better". "You know why, because I'm your sister. Nevermind, you'd like me better with him",She continued to say not able to control her laughter.
I sighed irritatedly heading closer to the stairs leading to my room. We have a two bedroom apartment.
"Ugh! Keep dreaming ok. "I have to go sleep", I said heading towards my room.

The following morning... In his car ....6:30am.
My boss and I seated behind the driver. I began reading his schedules to him.
"I need to be sure already. "What and what have we not talked about?",my boss asked.
""Umm..what sir. "I mean..why are they refusing to test the product before mass production?", I asked him.
"I'll ask them again",he said
"But sir,you know we can have a focus group to test products for the mass production".
"Well...if they agree, how fast can we pull it together",he asked tapping away on his phone.
"Um..two or three weeks".
"Two or three weeks?",he asked surprisingly.
"Yes sir".
Then there was an incoming call from Ann.
"Excuse me",he said.
"Hello Ann",he said answering the call.
******
Ann enters Harrison's premises and opens the door to the reception ....upon noticing her, I approached her.
"Oh hi Julie. "Is Harrison in his office?",Ann asked.
"Yes,do you have an appointment", I asked her confused as to why she rushed here.
"Umm...no?, it's non official."Well I guess that's how it works right?."Ok...it seems I have started messing things up. "You know I actually called him on my way here but he sounded way too formal",Ann asked.
"Yes, I was in the car with him", I told her.
"Ok so how bad is it?",Ann asked
"How bad?. Uh..you know, Mr Harrison likes to take the lead, he doesn't like interruptions at his workplace and he prefers a lady that's also busy with something. "I really don't know what to make you do right now", I told her frustratedly. Abiding to the rules of my boss is part of my job as his personal assistant . Knowing his code of work in my four years stay under his premises, I don't want to have any problem with him.
"Ok, so what do I do?",Ann asked again.
"Ok so how about you come in for an appointment".
"How? I don't have an appointment",she said shrugging.
"Alright so I'll schedule one with him for you", I said as I turned around about to leave to my cabin when she stopped me.
"Uh wait, you know what?",Ann said
I looked at her confusingly shaking head then listening to what she had to say next .
"Um..can I have your phone number?", she asked.
"Sure , fine", I said then she hands her phone over to me.

In his office.....9am
Harrison's POV
I entered my office with Julia trailing behind me with my briefcase.
"How come I didn't know about the meeting with Ann this morning?", I asked her heading towards my desk to have a seat.
"Um.. I'm sorry sir.it was my mistake."I'm so sorry", Julie pleaded as she let my laptop out of my brief case and settled it on my desk alongside with some uncompleted documents.
"Is that why she was calling?".
"Yes,yes sir", Julia replied
"Oh", I said as I began typing out on my laptop once Julia had done her arrangements.
"So she called to reschedule", Julia continued to say .
"Oh I didn't know. I thought she wanted to talk about perceiverance . " Well, send her in", I said giving Julia the go ahead while I arranged some files on my laptop.
"Ok sir",she said .
"Thank you", I said showing appreciation.
"Anything else,sir",she asked.
"No,go ahead,call her in".
"Ok will do sir", Julia said heading towards the door and left. She was probably heading to the reception to call Ann.
After a minute or two, I heard a knock on the door.
"Come in", I said in response and Ann enters with a big smile plastered on her face.
"Oh Ann, Good morning", I said rising up from my seat.
"Good morning,let me just take a few minutes of your time",she said placing her handbag on my desk.
"Alright, have a seat", I offered her gesturing the one on her side..
"Ok thank you", she said having a seat.
"Um, I'm really sorry about how I spoke to you earlier. "I was just informed you called concerning the meeting.
"Yeah it's fine that's why I had to rush down quickly",she said with her head up and eyebrows raised. Ann was dress in a black dress showing her curves and cleavage and a pink business suit. One thing I dislike about her outfit was that her the exposure of her cleavage was too much. I hate it when a lady shows too much skin to impress whoever.
"Ok, so what's up?
"Ok so I need to revisit some of the recommendations you submitted and were not implemented",she said to my astonishment.
"Yes",she whispered looking straight at me then biting her lips. I quickly averted my eyes to avoid her intense gaze on me.
"Uh wow. I know how dedicated you are", I continued to say.
"Thank you,I'm just doing my job",she said with a chuckle.
"Right, I'll let Julie compile them for you".
"Ok I'll appreciate that",she said as she stands up and pick up her bag to leave.
Is that all. Is she leaving?
"Um, you're leaving already?
"Yes my table's full and I really wish you pick up your phone. I wouldn't have come down",she said flipping her chestnut straight hair to the side.
"I'm so sorry*cleared my throat*. "Um.. can I stay you for dinner?
"I'm not sure because I might be tired",she said looking elsewhere.
"Please?
"Ok I'll think about it. Just call me by 5:30",she said a little too quickly then I expected her to and turns to exit my office, sashaying on her way.
"Great drive safely", I said then she was gone.
There's something about Ann that intrigues me. I'd like to know more about her.
But why's my heart speaking otherwise?
