Chapter 18 - Chapter 18

Kelly immediately relaxed in her seat when they finally reached the company and she entered her office.She could not help but sigh.They had gone to a different location for a different meeting and she was tired and frustrated during the meeting but she could not say anything.She did not want any trouble so she just did her part and now she was back in her office.She smiled and looked at the ceiling.She started playing with a pencil she took from her table.

Rachel entered her office and looking at her boss playing with a pencil while staring at the ceiling like a child wondering why it would not fall,she tried stifling a laughter.Kelly seemed to have come back from her magical world as she hurriedly composed herself and said sternly,"what are you laughing at?"Rachel could not hold back anymore, Kelly's expression at the moment was so funny."Rachel don't let me get you fired."Kelly said, trying to look serious but there was a smile on her face.

"Sorry,sorry."Rachel said trying to compose herself.Kelly looked at her with a raised eyebrow and started laughing too.The two girls composed themselves after some time and Kelly asked,"why are you here?Got anything to tell me?"Rachel nodded and said,"nothing important,just wanted to talk to you about girl stuffs."She relaxed in the seat Kelly offered her and smiled.

After some time,Kelly received a call and Rachel excused herself."Hello",she said not knowing who had called since it was an unknown number."hey beautiful, forgetting me so soon?"A man's voice sounded at her end of the call and she smiled."Of course not,Kyle.How are you doing?"She said and he responded,"great and I guess my pretty lady is well too.""Yes."She said and he went straight to the reason why he called her.

She smiled and repeated what he had said,"you're inviting me to dinner?Hmm,let me think.Yes,I'd love to have dinner with you."He smiled at his side and said,"then it's settled.I'll come for you alright."Kelly agreed and ended the call.She was anticipating their meeting after all he was an interesting person.

She immediately picked the telephone on her table and answered the call."In my office now!"A cold voice said and that was all it took for her to run out of her office, cursing under her breath as she made her way to Tristan's office.She entered his office and walked over to him."You called for me."She said and he frowned,raised an eyebrow and looked at her."I did not."He said coldly and focused his attention back on the papers on his table.

She was angry as she looked at him.If he was not her boss,she would have scattered the papers on his table and ran away.She breathed in and out slowly and said,"sorry for worrying you sir."She said and walked away closing the door calmly while she was raging inside.Now,she wanted the day to end soon and it did.

She hurried to get a taxi and in no time,she was home.After dressing and getting ready for her dinner,a knock was heard on her door."Always on time."She smiled and walked towards the door.She opened it and got out with a smile on her face.Kyle looked dumbstruck as he admired her beauty."You're perfect."He said after taking his eyes off her with great difficulty."Thanks."Kelly said and smiled.

He took hold of her hand and led her to his car.He opened the door for her like a gentleman and she entered.He moved to the driver's seat to drive.They reached the restaurant after some hours.She was captivated by the exterior of 'Bella Vita',the restaurant.

It's exterior was a stunning blend of modern and classic architecture,with a sleek glass façade and ornate stone carvings.The entrance was marked by a beautiful wooden door with a brass handle,flanked by two elegant stone columns.

"A new restaurant right?"She asked him with a light smile.He looked at her and nodded.They walked into the restaurant and they were greeted by a spacious,high- ceilinged foyer with a beautiful chandelier.The interior design was sophisticated and elegant,with cream-coloured walls,dark wood accents and plush carpeting.

They moved their seats,a table draped with white linen with two exquisitely designed chairs for them.She sat down after he pulled the chair for her and he walked to his seat, sitting calmly on it."You like it here?"He asked and she was quick to say,"I totally love this place."He smiled and said,"then I will bring you here more often."She just smiled.
