REGAL'S POV:
I saw Charles and Mia walk in to the Cafeteria together through the glass window. Today being Mia's second day at work, must have experienced a lot from other female workers because I also hear the gossips. I was about to return to my seat when I saw some set of ladies approach them. Although, I could not hear their conversation, I knew they were one of those gossiping around and probably warning Mia to stay away from me. I marked their faces and I made sure I query them but before that, I needed to ask Mia that transpired between them because since her resumption to work, I had not seen her associate with any other worker apart from Charles. I went back to my seat and I patiently waiting for the end of the day. When I saw Charles and Mia together, I felt this kind of feeling and I don't know what to call it. "Is this anger, happiness or jealousy ?" I thought to myself. I should not be jealous because I had not even confessed my feelings to her yet. I didn't know what that feeling was. I peeped through the door and I saw them chatting happily while working and then I decided to call Mia just to distract her. "Mia, please come I need you right now" I ordered her before I went to sit. "Sir, you called for me" She said politely. "Yes I did, I would like you to check my schedules for the day" I said while typing my Laptop. "Sir, I already did that in the morning". I knew she did that in the morning but I wanted to distract her from talking to Charles. "Okay you can go then" I said without looking up at her. She left the office immediately. I heard my phone ring "beep beep beep" my phone rang continuously. "Hello Dad" I greeted him, "I need you to meet a lady at Vikings bar, she has something to discuss with you" Dad said without waiting for me to reply before hanging up. I picked up my car keys and drove out off to the hotel. It was a twenty minutes drive or so from my company. I got there and sat down then I ordered for a drink. While I was waiting for the drink, I called dad to tell him I was there already and I could see few people and I didn't know which one I was supposed to meet. "There's a lady on a white gown sitted alone; she's who you are supposed to meet" Dad said to me on the phone. Meanwhile, I could only see a woman on white who was shouting on top of her voice, insulting and harassing a waiter. "It definitely can not be her" I said to myself so I decided to wait a little longer if by any chance a woman on white gown would walk in. I waited for more than thirty minutes but no one of such description walked in so I decided to go meet the woman who created a scene earlier on. "Hi, can I have a sit ?" I disguised as a customer, her reply was so cold and arrogant "Well as you can see I am waiting for someone so I suggest you go find another seat and stop trying to woo any lady you come across". "I am Regal Bryson, I was sent her by my father to meet you" I said calmy. From the look on her face, she was very shocked. "Are you this rude or what ?" I asked feeling irritated by her behavior, "Let's get down to business, what do you have for me ?". Through out the conversation, I noticed she was so calm and nice too but I knew she was faking it all along just to get on my good side but unfortunately she already gave a bad first impression. Immediately we finished our meeting, I was set to leave already, "I'm looking forward to working with you" I said I turned to leave then she finally spoke. "I know you are irritated by my attitude but I want to sincerely apologize for being rude to you the other time" She apologized, "You didn't even bother to know my name" I got more irritated after she said that. "I don't need to know your name, have a nice day" I left the bar without looking back. I decided to close for the day so I headed home. I couldn't stop being infuriated by the lady's arrogance. She was just too proud to work with. I got home and went to my bedroom. I took a shower first then I had a change of clothes. I went on looking for dad, I finally saw him at his personal chambers alone. "Dad" I called him, he then turned to look at my direction. I then explained all that happened at the bar to him and he pleaded with me to accommodate her attitude for the mean time because of the profit we were gonna make from the proposed business deal. "You just have to accommodate her for the mean time please my son" Dad pleaded with me. We conversed for a bit before I decided to go check up on my mom. I went to my mom's room and I found her reading a magazine. My mom was looking so young despite her age, moreover she still wished she gave birth to another kid. "Ain't you in a relationship Regal ?" Mom asked with one of her eyebrows up. That was a question I never thought I was gonna answer to not any time soon. "Mom, c'mon stop asking questions like that" I squeezed my face. I told her I was in love with someone but haven't gotten the opportunity to tell her. "You have to express your feelings on time before she gets taken by another". Immediately she said this, I remembered Charles. The way he talked to her, the light touches and closeness was becoming something I needed to be watchful of. "No one will take Mia from me, anyone that dares faces my wrath" I was burning with anger and jealousy inwardly.
