"The meeting will be in few minutes, Collins pack up". Ricardo said adjusting his tie.
"Yeah I..., am done he said giving a tap on the keyboard, now we can leave".
At the meeting****
"So what you're saying now, is that they rejected the offer once again Ricardo said blankly.
"Yes, they said the Jeffrey's family is yet to give them an answer,"one of the shareholder said. "The Louis company would be of great collaboration, we already loosing many stocks and the prices are getting high by the day, so am pretty sure this contract collaboration will be of good to us" he added.
"Are you saying am not capable," Ricardo's voice came coldly, he glared at the man who just spoke .
"No, that's not what I meant am sorry if you took it that way" the man apologized.
"Let's move to the fashion house" Collins said.
A while after a man came in.
"Sorry am late,"he said and sat down.
Ricardo stared at him for a while and said to Collins, "continue".
The man smirked.
*******
"We are here Larisa" Riana said smiling brightly.
She looked around, "wow I didn't know the earth can be so beautiful" Larisa said admirably.
"Of course it is," come on let's go she said dragging her friend.
"Don't tell me you're bringing me along with you to Ricardo's place.
Riana stopped and turn to face her.
"Where else?" She asked her her hands on her waist.
"You"!
"I thought you said we were going to have fun". She said glaring at her.
"Sure we are, I'll just stay with him, then you can take a look around, don't worry he has someone that will show you around.
"Why are you sounding as if you guys are already together".
"Larisa please let's go".
They entered the building, sure as expected they was an uproar immediately they stepped in, maybe it's because of Larisa, they're quite familiar with Riana already, though her beauty is still shocking.
👥 "what in heavens sake"!!
👥 "isn't that the boss girlfriend?" Is that her sister, ohh gawd this is heavenly beauty.
Larisa blinked severally.
They walked to the receptionist.
"Mae" Riana called.
Yes how, she paused and look from Riana to Larisa twice.
"She's my friend" Riana said answering her unsaid question.
"Oh am sorry, I just feel like am in heaven, she said smiling.
"Am here to see Ricardo".
"The boss, sure you can go who am I to stop the boss girlfriend, or you don't remember the way I can take you there".
"No it's fine, I remembered clearly thank you" she said and left, Larisa followed.
Larisa was silent the whole time she just kept looking around.
They got to the office, Riana didn't knock she just pushed the door open but didn't see him.
"Huh where's he?
"He might have gone somewhere, let's wait for him Larisa said taking a seat.
"You can wait here, I'll just go check him on the other side"
"Riana" Larisa called.
"I'll be back Larisa" she said stepping out.
"Where could he be?
She looked around and immediately spotted him through the transparent glass window, her face brightened up.
At the meeting,
"We need enough proof, I mean if you want it to be a blast, it should be something unrealistic, special and unique," a man in his 50's suddenly said he hadn't said anything since he came in, maybe because he came in late.
Ricardo wanted to speak but was interrupted by the sound of the door opening.
She entered all smiles on her face.
His eyes widened.
What is she doing here, his heart started beating crazily.
Everyone was shocked, even the man who spoke a while ago wasn't an exemption, he turned to look at Ricardo but saw no expression on his face.
Immediately he saw her he was surprised but quickly composed himself.
"Now this is what am talking about, something unrealistic". Good, he stood up walked to where Collins was, he also has a weird expression on his face, he took the papers from him and sighed it.
"You did well ricardo, I never expected it" he said and glanced at the lady before leaving.
"Do you miss me, Riana said leaving everybody in shock once again.
***********
A while ago.
"Who's there". A voice sounded from outside.
The girls gasped.
"We are doomed"!!!
"Riana what do we do, we can't be caught like this, my father is going to kill me. Larisa said already shaking.
"Calm down Larisa, we will just cook something up trust me".
"I don't remember you knowing how to lie".
"Is anybody there? The voice came again this time it was close they could hear the voice clearly.
The king!!!
"My king what are you doing here," the queen asked walking to the king.
"I think I heard voices where the azels vessel is kept" he said.
"Huh, nobody dares go there".
"Come my king, maybe you heard it wrong," queen Diana said holding the king arm.
The king glanced at the door before going with the queen.
"Phew!". That was close Riana said cleaning the sweat that already surfaced on her forehead.
"Riana let's go back now, since we're not caught let go before the king comes back" Larisa said holding her chest.
"Larisa" she pouted sadly making puppy eyes.
"Baby don't do this to me, ok ok let's go" she said and they continued where they stopped before the king came.
**********
"Wow, this is getting interesting more than I thought, she didn't come alone this time around".
"I wonder how zario is so careless about this," he said grinning.
"Wait did that girl also come down here using azels vessel, that part is leaving me confused if so tsk tsk I love where this is going".
"Who is she? He asked one of his minor.
"She's the princess close friend".
"Ohh I see".
"Why don't we make it fast, let her and her lover have a sweet time, unforgettable sweet time together".
"Then I take a visit to my big brother" he chuckled out loud.
