Chapter 17 - The lily flower

When they reached Edward office door lily reacted and glance at her hand that was still tightly clasped around by Edward

"Can you let go of hand now "she calmly said and tried to wiggle of her hand from his

Edward was a little reluctant,he will love them to hold hands like this

"This is part of you being my girlfriend right?"He grin righteous and shamelessly

"I did agree if our families is around and also am here as your business partner not as your girlfriend "she shot back in annoyance

Edward chuckle and say nothing after as they both enter his office space that was well furnished and was spacious and neat.

Lily seat opposite Edward executive chair and bring out the proposal file and waiting for him to start going through it together to come to a term

"How did you want your coffee or tea" he asked as he strode towards the entrance door

"Americano Coffee without sweetened "she replied without looking at him and when she did

He was already opening the door and she wondered why he is the one to make to go prepared it

"I will be back in a minutes "he disappeared from the her view

Lily was now alone in the office and look around the spacious office ,at the corner of the window side a pot of lily flower was placed

lily thought to herself

'He seems to love flowers but couldn't help feel like it holds more meaning behind it, her eyes trailed around once more

And stop at a frame that was placed on ,by the side desk table and it got her little curious

It was a picture of Edward and a pretty young girl

'they look a little alike by their features'she thought and wondered if Edward has a younger sister

Edward walk in with two cups and glance at curious lily ,he placed a cup of Americano Coffee for beside her and the placed other by the opposite side of the desk

Lily gaze was still lingering at the frame picture which Edward caught and explains

"That's my younger sister Emma but she was in boarding school " he feed the curious lily even she did not asked

"Oh" that all lily said and she started to explain her proposal to him

And Edward was a little surprised by how she was easily switched and her workerholic attitude

After almost an hour lily got the contract signed and she let out a breath

Edward look at the woman in front of him and couldn't help but lost in her beauty, some strand of her hair was getting to the side of her eye and he move his fingers towards her hair and as soon he make a contact with her skin ,they were as smoothly as a silk

He was sure ,he was attracted to her

And their eye's met and both of them has different thoughts going through their minds at moment

it was lily that was first to snap out of her daze and realised that they had been staring at each other for long

"um..Umm " she cleared her throat which make Edward snap out and they both feel a little awkward and he tried to smooth things out

"OK let go over together next time to look over the site and the funds will be transferred by next Monday " he concluded as he smoothy his suit

Lily nodded agreed and stood up elegantly

" OK until then "said lily has she prepare to leave the office
