After disconnecting the call, Avery turned to look at Suzzy;
"I'm going to the office," Avery said with a half smile on.
" Why?, Isn't today Saturday, no work goes on on Saturday," Suzzy exclaimed with her arms folded across her chest.
" Yeah, my boss needs me, let's go."
They left the mall with sad faces on. Today was supposed to be for only then, but the unfortunate happened. Avery took another taxi to the company
********************An hour later***************
Avery arrived at the company with a sad facial expression, nobody was present in the lobby except the guards who patrol the company 24/7. She entered the private elevator, which led to Alex's office. Getting out of the elevator, she tidies herself before knocking on the door of Alex's office and entering.
"Beautiful, what with the sad face?"Samuel asked when Avery entered the office.
" Her name is Avery not beautiful, don't ever call her that," Alex said with a dark face. Samuel raised his hands in a surrendering form and stood beside the mini bar in Alex's office.
Alex used this opportunity to fix his suit since Avery was not looking at him but looking at Samuel,
" Avery," Alex said
" Boss, I brought the documents ".
Avery said in a low tone. Alex's facial expression changed instantly, he hummed and told Avery to come forward.
Avery moved forward while holding the document, before moving towards Alex, Avery smiled at Samuel. This gesture made Alex raise his eyebrow, at the sudden change in Avery's behaviour.
Avery placed the documents on Alex's table, she had to get closer to him so that she could elaborate on everything in the document. Alex was distracted because of Avery's lemon perfume. He inhaled sharply and deeply, Avery raised her head and found Alex staring at her, they stared at each other until Samuel faked a cough before they snapped out of the fantasy world.
" Ummm, that allAkex, I mean boss, anything else?" Avery stammered
" Nothing else". Alex answered
Avery nodded her head, she frowned minutes later while looking at Alex
"What?" Alex asked
" Why did you call me in the first place?"
Alex cleared his throat and changed his sitting position to a comfortable one.
" Yeah, Alex why did you call her?"Samuel said teasingly. Alex glared at him, warning him to keep quiet.
" Um, um, I called you here for you to show me the documents of the finished project in Brazil." He exclaimed
" That's not my job, also I don't have those files and you know that."
Alex was caught in his trap, he was confused about why he even called Avery to the office, Alex looked at her with a poker face though of a reasonable answer.
" I know those files are not with you, but it's been long since Dave spoke about the project and u thought he told you about the details concerning the project."
" I don't believe you," Avery said
Samuel chuckled at what was displayed in front of him, he placed his whisky down and stood beside Avery.
" Carr for lunch? my treat" he said
Avery was about to refuse when Samuel beat her to it
" Remember you owe me lunch, why don't we go now " Samuel suggested, he had to save his friend from embarrassing himself
" I have to think about it," Avery said
Samuel looked at her with puppy eyes and pouted his lips.
"You look so cute " Avery praised
