"I guess this is the building" Callie said upon reaching a building with a towering height. Putting the gears to a halt, She dismantled the key from the ignition point.
"Should I come with you or wait for you?"
"Neither"
"Then what should I do?"
"Go home. You said your dad was waiting for you "
"I can wait for you bae....I'm not in a hurry"
"Don't worry...I'll just book a cab home "
"You sure"
"Fucking sure"
"Okay....call me"
"I will" Diana said as she dismounted the car leaving Callie in it. Later off,Callie zoomed off leaving Diana in front of the building.
"What does Mr babysitter want to talk about now?" She asked herself exhaling a deep breath. She walked into the building and stopped when she got to the counter in front of the receptionist.
"Good afternoon... Do you have an appointment with anyone?" The receptionist greeted her. Diana let her eyes travel downwards to the name tag on her dress.
'Lois Catti' the name tag read..
"Mr Gracino" When she mentioned his last name,Lois looked up to look at her sizing her.
"Sure" She said not without sizing her. Dialing a number in the telephone, Lois placed the handset on her ear.
"Jess, someone is here to see Mr Gracino"Lois said as she couldn't stop looking at her.
"Take the lift to the fifth floor" She heard Lois say. Diana nodded her head and left for the elevator. As soon as she got out,she saw a lady standing in front of her. She guessed she was the secretary.
"Follow me"Diana heard her say. She walked behind her as Secretary 'Whatever her name was' sauntered to God knows where.
They finally got to his office and she was dazed to see how wonderfully made his office was but she was more dazed to see a relaxed Xavier with his legs on the table.
"Xavier, you have a visitor" He finally looked down from the ceiling to stare at her and she didn't fail to meet his gaze.
"Thank you... You can leave" He told her and once she was gone,Diana patrolled around his office. she got to a shelve containing books and she let her hands roam around the books.
"Never knew you were interested in books" She told him without looking at him.
"I am..." He answered her. After a measurable amount of time of staring at her walking round his office, he said to her "I guess you know the reason I called you here isn't to patrol round my office"
"I'm fully aware of that... So why did you call me here?" She said still hovering around the shelves.
"Some idiots at your school called to question me why I was dating you"
Taking one of the books in her hand,she opened it scoffing. "And what did you say?"
"Nothing cus I aborted the call"He answered.
"What I want to know is who the hell is responsible for that rumour?"
Keeping the books back in the shelf,she sauntered towards him .Standing in front of the table separating them,She picked a file in her hand not that she could understand anything written in it.
"My ex boyfriend....He's still bent on getting back together with me so this is he plan to get back with me"
"I want you to go back and tell your ex boyfriend to leave my name out of the rumour"
"What about my name?"
"What about it?" He asked with acool expression.
"Are you being self centered right now?"
"Yes" His reply was so blatant.
"You can as well tell him yourself...I don't deliver messages for self centered people" she said to him. Keeping the file back on the table, she turned to leave.
"Where are you going?"
"Home"
"Do you have a ride home?"
"Do I need a ride home?"
"I'll tell my secretary to take you home"
'I don't want her to' She would have told him but she didn't want to reject his offer.
He dialed a number on the pad and took the handset to his ears "Come to my office now" He said and immediately disconnected the call.
"Make sure to eat from some restaurant...I am not making dinner" She told him once he was done making his call.
"Your father said to take care of me"
"That's why I am caring for you by telling you to eat from a restaurant cus I won't cook."
"What's the time?"
"4pm I think?"
"Be expecting someone at 5"
"And who would I be expecting?"
"I'm afraid if I tell you, you won't go home"
Just then,the door opened and Jess came walking in.
"Xavier,you called me"She said.
Something felt so wrong about this girl and Diana knew it but she just couldn't pinpoint it.
"Jessica I need you to take her home" He said tossing his keys over to her.
"Sure."She caught the keys in her hands.
Turning to look at Diana,she asked.
"What's your name?"
Diana simply rolled her eyes and left his office leaving Jessica dazed. She turned to look at Xavier but he was just smiling like what she did was very nice.
The air in the elevator was so tight as Jessica won't stop staring at Diana but Diana didn't even care as she kept her eyes on her phone. The elevator finally stopped and Diana was the first to leave but Jessica won't stop glaring daggers at her.
