I sat across with her looking all happy and over the moon to be with me in this moment. But honestly l only felt voud when l looked at her, this was all an arrangement so that the company will be left in good hands but what is the point of it, if l am not happy with someone that l clearly don't know.
Right at that moment,
A waitress was passing by and then she accidentally dropped the tray of wine on the dress of Lizzie.
"Oh my god, you low life beggar. Do you have eyes or not ?" She got up in anger and started screaming at her making a big scene.
"Lizzie,what's up with you? Can't you see that it was just an accident?" I said trying to calm her down but she was boiling.
"Am sorry ma'am it was an accident and please it won't happen eve again. Please.."she kept on pleading.
"This dress don't you know that it costs more than you will ever afford and then you just had to ruin it..."she was so angry that it really didn't look normal.
"Ma'am, is everything okay here?"then after a short while the manager came and then asked what was the scene about that and just like that Lizzie demanded a firing for the waitress whom was still on the ground looking so weak.
"Yes ma'am, l will make sure that she won't ever do it again. "The manager promised amd then turned around taking the waitress away and when l saw it l somehow felt sorry for that poor lady.
"Lizzie, what's up with you?"l asked her when she returned the attention to me again.
"Am very sorry Landon but l had to do it so that it won't happen again. I mean form now on she will learn her steps carefully. Did l do something wrong?"she asked when she saw my facial expression change somehow.
"No no it s nothing. But the way it's getting late we should probably go home now." I said and then without any explanations, l got up and then took my leather jacket and left after paying the bill.
She immediately also got up and the ran after me. We got outside and she caught up to me.
"Hey Landon, are you angry with me ?"she asked grabbing me by the hand. I turned around and forced a smile saying that it was nothing l wasn't just in the mood to talk much and l needed to return back to my office.
"Okay, if you say so."she said and then came up closer to me and gave me a huge hug which l wasn't expecting.
"Again,thanks for taking me out on this date, it really means so much to me that you are finally opening up to me." She added on referring to the times when l ignored all her signs.
"Yeah, it is happening." I didn't know what to say at the moment but just said what came up to my mind.
Then at that moment,
A car stopped near us and l saw that it was Michael whom l had called to take Lizzie home.
She got inside the car, waved a goodbye at me and then they drove off. I finally breathed normal sighing a sigh of relief that she is gone for now.
Then right at that moment when l was going to get in my car in the parking lot, l heard someone sobbing and it sounded like it was really serious because it was heavy.
I closed the door of my car and then walked towards where the sobs where coming from.
I got outside the parking lot and then saw someone sitting alone by herself crunching herself in her arms against the wall, sobbing with her phone in her hands.
"Uhm...,excuse me but are you okay? Can l help you with anything?"l asked sounding so concerned if she needed some help.
But l didn't get any reply, l again reapeted and then had to walk near her and then talled on her shoulder so that she may hear me.
She slowly lifted up her head and then her eyes met mine.
And l realized that she was the same girl whom Lizzie just got fired. But when our eyes met l didn't know how to feel or even speak so as to ask her what was the problem.
It was as if like l just got hypnotized just only by looking at her and that puzzled me. My hand was still on her shoulder and our faces were closer to each other.
