Hey look at the time, am deadly late,can we leave now" I said and she nodded
After paying we left the restaurant, we were heading to the car when suddenly Ava said
"Oh its Lukas, I will just go and say a quick hi to him" she said and before I could stop her she had already ran off
she got to them and hugged him tightly and he also did,they chatted for a while and then I saw her pointing over to where I was and I quickly looked away.
How could Ava be putting me in a tight spot,I thought as I got nervous,I just hope Lukas won't pay attention to her and come over to say hi to me.
"Hey let's go" Ava said tapping me
"And Lukas?" I said
"He has gone already,seems Like he had something urgent to do because when I told him you were here he just said he had to attend to some meeting" Ava said as they got into the car
Or he just doesn't want to talk to me,I thought sadly
I got to work and immediately I was told to go to my dad office
I got to his office only to enveloped in a hug by him
"What's wrong dad" I said smiling back
"Remember the buyer I told you about yesterday?" He said
"Yes I do"
"He has finally agreed to buy the shares,our company will be saved" he said happily and I also felt happy for him too
"Now all we've got to do now is to prepare the shares document,the man is a busy man and our meeting with him today will only be for an hour,so go get ready love,you will be the one going to the company to offiate the deal" he said
And I nodded happily"let me go get the necessary thing,I will be back"I said feeling so happy about the sale our company
A few hours later,I got out of my car standing in front of a well known building,LANCING EMPIRE
lancing empire is known to be one of the best company in their States, working with them will be a real boost to their company
In hand with all the documents i walked into the company,a sweet and kind receptionist showed me the way to the top floor where I would meet Lukas lancing the owner of the company
Just thinking about the name made me remember Lukas their gardener,I smiled just comparing the names together.
I got to the top floor and met his personal assistant.
"Mr lancing is waiting for you in his office" she said taking me to the room
She opened the door a bit and walked in to announce my arrival.
"You can go in now" she said to me.
I breathe in a bit before walking in,I saw him standing by the window,he had his back turned to me.
"Hello sir I am Amai...."
"Amailia john, there is no need in introducing yourself, we both know each other already" I recognised him even before he turned to face me
"Surprised right?" He said starring at me
No this couldn't be,he is only playing a trick on me just as he always did in the past.
"Hello Lukas, I would like to say I am happy to see you again but I can't say that,as you can see I came to meet Mr lancing, so if you can call him for me,I would be grateful" I said shaking a bit
"Well you see I won't be able to call him for you" he said walking towards me
"Because I am Lukas lancing, the owner of lancing empire" he said and i immediately I got dizzy,and I just found myself falling but not to the ground,I found myself falling into his arms,losing consciousness ...
{Amelia}
I woke up to find myself in a strange room, where am I?I thought as I looked everywhere while sleeping on the couch.
Suddenly everything came back to me,I remembered what happened
I still can't believe that Lukas is the owner of this company, he could be playing a trick with me, I thought
"Will she be alright" on hearing his voice,I quickly layed back on the couch
Am not ready to talk or see him,I pretended to be asleep and I heard his footsteps as he walked into the room
I suddenly felt him beside me, I knew he was watching me so I kept on pretending to be asleep
I felt him touch my cheek,what the hell is wrong with him? I thought as I kept on pretending to be asleep
"You can stop pretending now, I know that your not asleep" he whispered into my ear
Have been caught already, i thought as I opened my eyes
"You can fool yourself and everyone Amelia but remember this you can't fool me" he said walking to stand by the window
I sat watching the new guy in front of me,he is different from the gardener I once knew, he looked more cold, withdrawn and ruthless.
"What? Still starring to know if its really me" he said again mocking her
"Am just wondering why you lied, why did you let us think that your just a poor gardener" i said
"My reasons are something personal to me but what I can tell you is that I enjoyed every bit of my time acting as a gardener" he said smiling
So everything had all been a game to him,even their one night had been a game to him
I shouldn't think about our night together, i had kept it buried for a month now and besides it had all been fun to him and also to me ,its best if i just get down to business
I got up from the couch and immediately regret it,i found myself feeling so dizzy,if Lukas hadn't caught me i would have fall down
"Easy Amalia, your still feeling dizzy" he said helping me to sit on the couch,still staying close to me
"Am fine, I will be alright" I said trying to move from him because just having him so close to me is pure torture
But he moved towards me again touching my forehead
"Your head is not burning which only means your not having a fever or something and the doctor said you will be alright" he said
"I said am fine okay, acting like you care about me doesn't suit you, so please lets just get to work" I said and he stood up
"Fine let's get to work, after all your just here to work, when you've fully get yourself, meet me in the office" he said and walked out
I never thought meeting him again would go this way, just by the look in his eyes, I could tell that he hates me so much and I won't blame him, I had sent him off like some kind of dog and am sure he won't ever forgive me for that.
I stood up and was about to leave when I saw a picture of him and that same girl, I found myself wondering who she is? but she is not really my concern though, what I have to do right now is to get him to sign the paper and then I leave.
I went back to his office and saw him already checking out the documents I had with me
"So what do you think of the proposal" I said
"I don't like it" he said throwing the papers away
"What do you mean by you don't like it" I said getting up to pick all the documents
"I get to save your company and what would you give me in compensation nothing? What sort of business is that" he said
"If you read it well you will see that we are giving you 80% of our share,isn't that enough" I said
"Not enough" he said suddenly starring at me in a strange way
"What more do you want us to add to it" I said
"I dont know, you tell me"he said
" well we can possibly add some more shares to it or we co....."
"Don't you get it, I don't want any shares,I only want one thing and thats you" he said starring at me
"What are you saying?"
"Ever since that night I haven't been able to get you out of my mind, even though you pushed me away in a cruel way, I should even be hating you for what you did but I find myself still wanting you" he said
I could only stare at him, Hearing him say he wants me made me feel thrilled and excited in a way but I know that I can't let that happen,a one night with him is a mistake already, I won't let myself be used like this.
