"Hello, nice to meet you. My son can't stop talking about you. Glad you took care of Remi,"his father expressed his gratitude.
"Remi is such an adorable kid, I enjoyed spending time with him,"Adele smiled.
"Remi would be really happy if you could make it to his school skit .I understand if you have prior commitments ,"his father politely requested her.
Just as she was about to refuse, Hudson came and stood next to her.
"Sir, you here,"Remi's father was surprised.
"I am not able to recall where we have met, "Hudson frowned.
"I am your father's employee, I never expected you to remember me,"Remi's father stated.
Hudson's father was training him to take the family business very soon. This included attending business events and Hudson obviously did not remember everyone he met.
Remi pulled Adele's hand and asked her to say yes to his father's proposal. Seeing Adele hesitating Remi's father informed the event is on weekend.
"Adele, please say yes,"Remi begged.
Remi's parents did not have any issues with her coming and maybe she can squeeze some extra time on weekend.
"I will attend,"Adele replied after making her mind.
"I too am free on Sunday,"Hudson casually replied.
"I will send two passes to you,"Remi's father looked excited as his boss's son will be attending his son's event.
They bid goodbye and the father son duo left from there.
"I know what you did, "Adele sighed.
"Care to explain, "Hudson pretended as always.
Adele was in front of computer working on her economics paper when Myra informed her that the office staff wants to see her.
"Is it only me or anyone else going to be there , "Adele asked.
"Just you, I guess it may be some paper work, "Myra replied.
"So tell me how your second date went, "Adele asked as she saved the documents and closed her laptop.
Even though she was smart and hardworking she sometimes felt behind her classmates. While she went to public school the elite's classmates went to fancy private schools. Those private schools had the best teacher who not only gave individual attention to each student but also their study syllabus was ahead of others making their foundation strong.
So now in college those classmates could easily gasp the subject while Adele put double the effort to understand it. Since college professors did not spoon-feed like school teachers one has to do their own work.
Some nights when deadline was near she barely slept for a couple of hours ,also the exhaustion with part time job made her feel bones aching as she fell on the bed.
"We got along very well, we started seeing each other, just casual nothing serious we are both too young to talk about forever and all, "Myra stated and seeing the smile on her face one can say she was content in this relationship.
"Also tomorrow we need to go buy some clothes and cosmetics as I got paid today, "Myra stated.
"And don't refuse, I checked your schedule you have no class in the afternoon .I will be picking you up at college, "Myra said cheerfully.
"Sure, "Adele agreed and went to meet the staff.
"Adele, I am not able to find any of your documents .Did any of the other staff mention it to you,"the lady asked.
"How can it be, did you check throughout, "Adele frowned.
"I have not left a single shelf, look at the mess down, except yours everyone's documents are there, "the lady pointed towards the floor.
Adele saw a pile of papers and files were scattered on the floor. How can only her file be missing ,she was dropped at the orphanage when she was just few days old so how can her records be gone.
"It must have been missing recently as none of the staff said anything to me, "Adele replied.
"That may be the case, well there are a bunch of documents fill them quickly .I will get it authorized and make a new file for you, "the lady explained.
Adele nodded and went to sit down at the table nearby, a few minutes later her phone beeped .She ignored it and continued her work but again a message popped up.
Thinking it may be something important she looked at the sender's name and her heart skipped a beat.
Gripping the phone tightly she opened Dante's messages, the first one was asking whether she liked watching movies and next followed by a question mark.
She replied yes but after that there was no reply from his side .She was confused thinking why did he send such random message without explaining much .She waited for few seconds before she only made up her mind to text him. This time instead of a reply she got a call from Dante.
Adele got up and walked towards the window so that no one could hear their conversation.
"Hello ,"Adele greeted a bit nervously .
Even though they have become a bit familiar with each other she still couldn't completely get over her fear for him. He didn't do anything just his aura was enough to make people shiver.
"I wanted to take you out for a movie ,"Dante replied straight to the point.
"No need of that ,"Adele blurted out immediately.
She was someone who never liked owning favors ,she didn't need anyone's pity nor she wanted anyone to expect anything from her.
Humans were complicated creatures who never did anything good without wanting something in return. This is what she believed growing up and her first reaction when someone offered anything was to refuse without giving a second thought.
"Why ,do you have any prior commitment ,"Dante asked in a stern voice.
"No , I don't want to trouble you ,"Adele stated.
"Adele ,are we going to have this conversation again ,"Dante sounded pissed.
"What movie are we going,"Adele cleverly changed the topic.
She knew it was useless to argue with him as his stubbornness knew no bounds. There was silence on the other send and she heard a loud chuckle.
"Well, let me check and confirm,"Dante replied.
