~3~Don't be a third wheel Sharon!~

Sharon

I spin to the other side trying to pretend not to know him as I put back the kitty head.

"Buttercup?" He calls out, strutting in front of me.

"How may I help you, sir?" I croak my voice so he wouldn't discover it's me.

"You can't help me in any way Sharon,  stop hiding I know it's you" he snickered softly and strode closer to me.

"Gosh, how did you find out it was me?" I pout my lips annoyingly.

"Your phone was the first thing I saw, what are you doing here?" He eventually asks what I hoped he doesn't ask.

"Can you come again?" I needed time to think about what to say.

"What are you doing in front of Camilla's company?" He asks, yelling into my ears.

"Camilla? Which of the Camilla?" I queried, twinkling my eyes.

"Baby" my system stopped working when I heard her voice.

"Buttercup, did you come here with him?" She asks, clutching her arm around my brother's arm.

"Don't call me buttercup, my brother is the only one that can call me that" I whispered.

"Oh okay, I'm sorry" she answered in her normal naive expression.

"You haven't replied to me yet, why are you in a costume and what are you doing here?" 

"I came to help my friend out that's all" I retorted instantly, trampling my feet as I discarded the costume.

He shouldn't scold me in front of his fiancee, I won't take that.

"Sharon, my mom asked me to get some.." Daniella halted halfway, discovering that I wasn't standing alone.

"Good evening sir" she bowed her obeisance to my brother and he waved at her with a smile on his brims.

"I'll be on my way then, I'll call you" she took the costume from me and tottered away.

"Let's go" he proposed but I was standing still.

"It seems like she has something more to do, don't let us be an intruder" she smiled softly, guess she needs some spare time with her lover.

Dear Camilla, I won't give you that chance today. I scowl and walk closer to my brother.

"I'll go with you, I'm feeling very hungry" I held my tummy, feigning to get his interest.

"Oh good choice, you can get in the back seat," he says to me, I shot him an evil glare and all he did was a wink.

I swiveled my eyes annoyingly as I hopped into the backseat, the drive to my mom's restaurant is kinda far and long.

"Should I play a song?" He asks for our viewpoint.

"Of course yes" we both answered in unison, I don't think we'll choose the same song tho.

"God's plan by Drake or thank you next by Ariane grande?" Is my brother not setting himself in a comfortable position with this.

"God's plan"

"Thank you next" I flared my nose at her head.

"I'm kidding, God's plan" she chuckled softly.

"You're all here" mom giggled excitedly and I rushed to receive a warm hug from her but to my surprise, she ignored me and hug Camilla instead.

What nonsense?

"You're looking fresh" she cheered my mom and she smiled along.

"Mom" I cried out, sulking my lips and shooting out my eyes.

"Don't mom me, you should have remembered me when you were busy advertising yourself to the world" she grumbled, peering at me like she'll beat me up.

"Advertise me to the world as to how? I don't understand" I was confused about what she just said.

"Someone uploaded your video on her page calling you a great advertiser" she brought out her phone and searched for the video.

Camilla and Ethan walked into the restaurant, leaving the two of us alone.

"Are you going to stand outside forever?" Mom asks, hauling me to go inside.

"Are you sure you didn't pick me from the street? Because you're treating your daughter-in-law better than your daughter" I growl, tilting my head.

"What rubbish are you jibbering about? I'm your mother, I gave birth to you" she said, acting too serious.

"I was only kidding, you don't have to take it this serious" I hum, deeming guilty about what I said.

She didn't say anything and I followed her inside the restaurant, it's about time for the restaurant to close for the day but customers are still enjoying their food.

I saw Ethan and Camilla seating in a corner, chatting and giggling like they just met each other. I was about strolling towards them when mom grabbed my hands.

"Don't be a third wheel sharon, you can't be 21 and still act like a kid, leave these couples alone" she flashed with an eye roll.

"Shouldn't I have a boyfriend at 21? You should let me have one" I whine feebly, fixing my hair up.

"You can have a boyfriend but I want you to wait for your Mr right" she smiled, dabbing my hair.

"Mr. Right, Mr. Right, I wonder when he'll come"  

Nathaniel

"Come in," I said to Draco immediately I heard him knock.

"Sir, I went there today and.."

"And what? You shouldn't even bother telling me stories, just show me what I need" I ordered but he just kept silent.

"The thing is, she hasn't snapped any pictures this week, this is the only thing I have about her right now" he mumbled, pushing the tablet on the table to me.

I picked it up in a hurry and was amused about what I was watching, I don't know someone can be so cute and beautiful.

"I want this in a display TV, I'll put it in my room instead of a picture" I requested, he nodded and walked out.

"Sir, Sir" Draco was strutting in between the door and my secretary, Ava barged in without permission to do so.

"How many times do I have to tell you never to come into my office until I say so?" I half shrieked, eyeing Draco to urge him to get out.

"I'm sorry, this is important" she says in a hurry, breathing rather too fast.

"You must be sick Ava, what can be more important than my order?" I was getting disturbed by her confrontation.

"The Chairman of New Day organization requested to meet you and I want to know your decision before agreeing to it" it's something important, she's not to be blamed.

"He or She?" I ask in a calming tone, tilting my head in different directions.

"I think the Chairman is a woman but I don't know why they call her Chairman instead of chairwoman" 

"You have a phone, right? And it's connected to the internet, you can as well sit all day and ask Google why they call her Chairman" I grumbled.

"I'll agree to the letter and set up a time" she announced and drop a file on my table.

"Make it today but let them choose the location, I won't be available from tomorrow" I informed and she nodded in agreement.

"What? Sir, you have a lot of things on your desk you can't travel yet" 

"Oh really? Why do I have a competent secretary?" I raised my brows, eagerly waiting for her reaction.

"Oh my, Sir. I'll be honored to help you out" she smiled sheepishly.

"In your dreams, I'm done with everything here except for the one you just dropped. Now if you'll go" I said bluntly, indicating her way out.
