Sharon stares at the telephone in awe. If she did not know better, she would have quit her job on the account that Leila was a rude and authoritative boss.
She turns around her desk, adjusts her shirt and skirt before leaving her office then enters a room not far from Leila's office.
Nolan sits on a foamed chair with a table separating him from another chair. Another chair sits beside him, and he stretches his hands on the backrest. He sips a cocktail as he crosses his leg with his eyes lost in thought.
Sharon smiles on spotting him. Before approaching, she tries to change her smile to that of a professional smile. "My apologies, Mr Reed"
Nolan nods as he sips his cocktail and does not turn to look at her. "She won't be coming in today, unfortunately"
Nolan gulps down the last of his cocktail and is about to rise when Sharon speaks, "You can tell me what you want to pass to her and I promise she would get it"
"No need" he places the cup on the table and then rises
He walks past Sharon like she was nothing before him. True, but it is unlike the attitude he posed before her previous times. "Mr Reed?" she calls out,
Nolan halts but does not turn around. "She demanded you schedule an appointment each time you plan to come over" Sharon informed
Nolan moves without a word.
"Humph"
Sharon frowns and shakes her head. "Arrogance. I should have expected it"
She glances at his back then storms out of the office.
Some hours later,
Leila lies on her bed on her stomach, still reading the file she got from the lady. She sighs, shuts the file and lies on her back. "Why don't we do something fun?"
She jumps out of her bed and gets into the bathroom. Thirty minutes later, she steps out putting on a fitted, off-shoulder, yellow gown.
She pours her hair and brushes slowly as she stares at herself in the mirror, a low masculine voice speaks,
"When will you stop this?"
"When I stop being bored" Leila replied and drops the brush
She sprays perfume, grabs her phone and walks out of the room. Kane was seated on the couch when she walked past, he was about to speak, but Leila ignored him and got into a jeep. Then drives off.
Leila did not get back until the early hours of the next morning. Though she looked the same way, she left. Kane and Eleanor were in the sitting room when she walked past, not acknowledging their presence.
By 8 am, she drives into her company and parks. She steps down, grabs her things from the back seat and was about to take a step forward when she meets a set of angry eyes.
The young lady before her has radiating skin, beautiful curves and dazzling eyes. She had on a pink suit with a white shirt that did a perfect job of highlighting her curves.
Her rich perfume could be sniffed a mile away. Her long hair hangs in a ponytail on her head. Two men stand behind her putting on a black suit and dark shades, the lady's guards
"Rachael" Leila calls out
Rachael scans Leila's outfit. She has on a to-the-neck, straight, blue gown with long sleeves. Her chest area is bare as an arc-shaped cut was made there, though not revealing her breasts.
Leila's beauty can never be compared to that of Rachael. Even with simple attire, Leila is like the radiating sun. Rachael gives her a smirk and walks off without a word.
Rachael is one of the many known enemies of Leila. Rachael is the head of Rech, a tech company, but unlike LY Tech, Rech has different engineers who make their products.
Only a few people are aware of this, including Leila, in fact, Leila almost brought the downfall of Rech, making Rachael's hatred for her increase.
Leila walks into her company, not minding her quick encounter with her arch-enemy. A distance away from her office, she sights Nolan standing by the door with his hands in his pockets. Leila raises a brow then drops it, acting as her usual self.
Once she gets to him, she speaks, "Early seeing you here, Mr Reed" she pushes the door open then walks in,
Nolan follows close behind her as he briefly shuts his eyes, inhaling her scent. "You were not in yesterday, I believed you must have come earlier and left" he stated
Leila drops her things on the cupboard close to her table and gestures for him to take a seat. He obliges while Leila glances at him then turns around.
She opens a bookshelf then stands behind her desk. She squats, grabs a file and takes a seat. "How can I help you today, Mr Reed? Our meeting is scheduled for next week"
She stated, flipping open the file in hand. Nolan relaxes his hands on the table, then brings his head closer. "Why don't we start with you calling me Nolan and I call you Ly"
Leila lifts her head and stares at him for a few seconds, then relaxes her back on her chair's backrest. "I guess that's how you begin your flirting"
Nolan is taken aback for a second, he relaxes his back on the backrest of the chair. He smiles, "And I guess that's how you respond when guys flirt with you" placing his fingers on his chin,
Ly brings her body forward and resumes her reading. "Tell me why you are here, Mr Reed. I've got work to do"
"Fair enough" he pushes his body forward "I'm having a yacht party this Friday. I decided to give you an invitation personally" he puts his hands in his jacket takes out a small, black, rectangular card then places it on the table
Leila glances at the card on the table and then at Nolan. She picks it up and throws her back on the backrest. "I'll think about it, Mr Nolan"
