"Yong Mi."An outstretched hand reached out to Kelly for a handshake."Sir,Kelly Burkhart."She introduced herself with a smile.She looked calm but was nervous within.He nodded as she accepted the handshake and left like a shadow as he had come."Kelly gal,congrats once again."Samantha said giving her friend a big hug."Sam thanks again"Kelly said with a smile on her face."I'm going Kelly.Tristan might call for me."Samantha said and left."I have to go too."Kelly moved out of the hall while accepting congratulations to her office to pack up.She didn't want to stay in her office late like last time and she had to go to the mall to buy some groceries.
She left her office,ready to go when Rachel bumped into her."M's.Burkhart what are you in a hurry for?The designer's are waiting for their new head to give a speech."Rachel said following behind Kelly who was walking towards the elevator but she paused in her steps when she heard what Rachel had said.She turned to look at Rachel and took a deep breath,saying calmly"okay but I've not prepared a speech yet."Kelly looked worried."I'm your assistant Ms.Burkhart.Everything is ready with me"Rachel said with a proud expression."Oh thank you very much.Please hand it over"Kelly said relieved as Rachel gave her the paper containing her speech.They both walked towards the designers' meeting hall with one in front and the other behind.
Kelly went to stand on stage with a smiling face.She placed the speech down as she greeted everyone.Her talk was smooth and the speech Rachel prepared for her was put to no use.She ended her speech in an hour's time as all questions posed to her were answered to the designers' satisfaction."Thank you."These two words marked the end of her speech."You were amazing"Rachel praised."From now on call me Kelly.No need for those formalities again"Kelly said in a stern voice to Rachel who nodded.Kelly saw the young man who sat at Tristan's left walking towards her."Rachel what's his name?"She asked and without waiting for Rachel's answer she continued,"wait,he's a director right? Don't tell me he was here all the time during my speech."Her voice was wavering."He's Kyle Robertson.Ms....umm,Kelly be careful of him"Rachel's words seemed to have brought her back to her senses."Kelly Burkhart right? I'm Kyle.Nice to meet you"The man introduced himself as he arrived in front of Kelly.Rachel excused herself."Nice to meet you too,sir"She said with a stiff expression.
Her heart was thumping hard in her chest while he looked at her with a smile."You seem to be in a hurry,do you need help.Anyway,that was a great speech"He said and her eyes turned slightly red at his praise."Thanks.I don't need any help.I just need to get to the mall next to the company"She said trying her best to hide her embarrassment."Oh!The company's mall, I'm going there too.I can drive you there."Kyle said,persuading her to allow him drive her there.He didn't look surprised by her reaction at all."Okay."She said,agreeing with him."Oh my God!Did the new head designer fall into Mr.Robertson's love trap?"A lady who had not left the hall said after the two had left.She hurriedly walked away.
The drive to the mall was neither long nor short.Kyle opened the door for Kelly to move out of the car."Thanks."She said as she led the way into the mall.He smiled knowingly to himself as his phone rang. "Sam,why are you calling?"He asked and continued,"if you want me to come satisfy you,then some other time."He was about to hang up when Samantha said,"don't hang up Kyle.I don't need you.Just stay away from Kelly.Don't you dare hurt her or play with her""Hey,hey,calm down gal.If I wanna play,I surely won't choose her.She's so beautiful and delicate to have her heart broken.Bye!"He said and hanged up. Samantha knew all her efforts had gone wasted."Kelly,be careful of him."She murmured to herself.
