Chapter 7.
Andrea's Pov.
"Pann pann pann" I heard the sound of the spoon hitting the pot which made me to wake up.
I guess Edward is cooking, woah I can't believe I slept off on the couch, my neck really aches.
I stood up as I went to the kitchen, the aroma of the spaghetti hit my nose, I couldn't wait to taste it. I didn't know he can cook, woah!!!
He didn't notice my presence though.
"Good morning" I greeted loud enough for him to hear, the funniest part was that he didn't reply.
He looked so hot with the apron even tho he was putting on his masquerade mask, he still looked hot.
He noticed my arrival and didn't even bother to greet me.
We are just strangers tho, he isn't owing me anything lest I forget.
"You should find something to do with your life and stop being an idler." I shot at him and he stopped whatever he wa doing immediately and looked at me.
I could see the smile on his face
"At least I'm better than someone who couldn't even make it early to an interview." He said.
He's so good at comebacks.
I should go learn some comebacks.
I watched as he went to the sink and rinsed his hand, switching off the gas. He removed his apron as he hanged it, he served himself and took the pit then open water into the pot.
"Why?" I shouted as he looked at me and I saw a little smirk as the corner of his lips.
"Why what?" He innocently asked.
"Why did you open water into the pot?" I barked.
"Because nothing is left in there." He replied coldly as he walked past me. The food is really tempting though.
I guess he is taking back his revenge, I should scold him for what happened yesterday.
I heard my phone ringing tone as I rushed to the sitting room to pick it on the couch.
"Hello," I said quickly as I placed the phone to my ear.
"Yeah yeah yeah, I'm coming right now." I squirted happily as I rushed to my room.
Thank Goodness I was giving another chance to be interviewed. The vice President is really a nice person.
Oh no!!! My high heels isn't good anymore, maybe I should just put on the stilettos heel
The time is 7:20am and I must be there by 8am.
*********
Yeah, I am not late today I hope I get employed.
I am surely going to get employed, they will not be able to resist my jewelry designs which is actually cool.
I catwalked this time around as I greeted the receptionist in which she replied, I took the elevator this time around and I got to the place where the interview will be taking place.
I sat down the same place I was yesterday, the secretary noticed my presence and she walked towards me. The secretary office isn't far from the president's office.
"Ma you will have to wait a little bit, the president isn't around yet." She passed the information to me and went back to where she was. He office is made of glass so one can see her from outside.
Minutes passed already still the president isn't around.
I sighed deeply as I looked around.
Woah, I didn't notice how good the office was yesterday...
I company looked really big, a 7th floor multi storey building. It also has a factory where all these things are produced.
I looked around and the place was very neat.
"Andrea" I heard a familiar voice as I turned back. It was the vice president.
"Leonard" I called as I stood up and rushed to him.
"Thanks a lot, I really appreciate what you did." I appreciated.
"It's nothing much." He replied.
"The president isn't here yet, he will soon be, just give him few minutes." He told me as we base ourselves farewell and he went back.
I always wonder how Edward met a guy like him, at least he helped me, now the president will determine if he wants me to stay at him company or not.
I could hear some footsteps approaching towards this place, I pray he should be the President.
I look towards the direction the sound was coming from and the first this I saw was a shinning shoe, it looked so expensive. I looked up and I saw the president, he looked cuter than when I saw him yesterday.
He was putting on his blue suit and his hair was styled perfectly, he was also with earrings. I stood up immediately as she almost reached my side and bowed my head.
There were different people following him at his back though, he stopped at my front, I didn't want to look up.
I could tell that his eyes we fixed on me.
"Meet me in my office immediately after 5 minutes."He said as he walked into his office that was at my front.
With his body guards following him, as the last person closed the door immediately he entered.
What is the essence of all these, at first he wasted my time now he is telling me to come immediately when it is five minutes to his office.
What if this is just a test.
I stood up as I stayed at the entrance of his office, my eyes were fixed on the wall clock that was in the hallway and my hand was also on the door knob.
"7,6,5,4,3,2..." I opened the door immediately it was two seconds left.
"You are too early." He said immediately I opened the door.
The man is sick upstairs.
"I'm sorry boss." I apologized even though I knew it was not from my heart, I just have to do it to promote peace.
Woah,his office looked so clean and word can't describe how good this office it, it is very big and I could view the city from here.
The body guards left the room immediately I entered. I stood up waiting for him to tell me seat.
"Come and sit." He ordered as if he knows what I am thinking.
"Yeah, thank you." I said as I saw down at the couch that was at the middle of his office. There was another couch facing me and at the middle is a small table.
And the front of the table is the president, Mr.larson.
At his back there is furnished wooden table in which a big monitor is on it and a swirling chair is placed at the front.
"According to Leonard, he told me you needed this job urgently and you will need it to take care of some things. That is why I have you the chance again." That was the first thing he said as I smile.
"Please can you show me some of your designs..." He asked as I brought a an envelope with and showed him some different jewelry design, with the look on hi face I guess he must be impressed.
I know right? No human could resist this design.
"Come in." Mr.Larson said immediately he heard a knock in his door.
"Sir, another lady is her for an interview should I send her back home or she should wait." His secretary asked immediately she came in.
"Let her wait." He instructed as she went out.
I thought I am the only one available for an interview today, who could that be?
"Andreaaa?" He groaned and Andrea chuckled at the thought of really getting on his nerves. It was her own way of getting back at him. And she was enjoying it. "We'll talk it out, won't we?" She said and went back to sit. "Of course, we would." Edward said through gritted teeth when he noticed the size of the towel Andrea gave him. But then he knew one thing for sure. "I know I have like the most beautiful name in the world." She said as she fanned herself with her palm while her husband watched with his mouth slightly open. While wondering who exactly he had married. He however liked the couple they were becoming. The fact that they were open with eachother without feeling like they had to mince their words and expressions joyed him. And that was that they had crossed the stranger's phase of their relationship and were bow official couples both legally and by heart. Awkwardly, he tied the towel around his waist and tried to tiptoe out of the bathroom, only to bump into her
"On our wedding day. You asked me to take it off." Edward said and Andrea after a few seconds of flashing back remembered. "Damn!" She sighed. "I can't believe you are still hung up on at that." Andrea said and they both chuckled as they went down the memory lane together. "But that's not the only thing I can't get over." Eve said. Andrea was curious as to what else there was and she had a feeling that her curiousity will lead her to another round of Edwards cheesy lines, but she asked anyway. "What else can't you get over?" She asked as she inched closer to him, leaning on her elbow for support. "You really want to know?" Edward asked as he leaned in closer to her. Their faces were only a few inches apart at thi moment. "Hmm yes, I want to know what it is." Andrea said. At this point, she couldn't guess anything tangible. "Are you really sure you want to know?" Edward asked again. "Quit playing and spill it." Andrea said. At this point, she had her eyes close and her thou
And he thought that this was the best way for her to hear what she had always had questions about. He just didn't expect Drake to start with his identity. But it was all well and good.Because to him, it wasn't a bad start at all. He had his guess and his speculations as well, but he still wasn't convinced that Andrea loved him like he thought she did.*Maybe because she never mentioned it or probably because I never had someone tell me.* He thought.But then he just couldn't bring himself to remain convinced until Drake mentioned it. And now, just like his wife was, he also turned as red as a tomato. "Geez bro, one would think you are an high schooler meeting his Crush during the a masquerade themed prom party. You're so red." Drake commented. Andrea felt her blush deepen at the thought of Edward also blushing. Because just like Edward, she Was looking for that one confirmation which she had found. *But then what about the secrets?* A little voice in her head questioned. And
But now that things were looking clearer, she felt even more puzzled and sure of her self at the same time, then she thought back to when she was talking about Edward as the president to Drake's mom. "Drake, you really can't do that." She heard him say again. "Tch. At this point, one would think you are the older brother." Drake said with an eyeroll. This contradicted every thing she had heard about Drake being Avery swift and precise person. Drake as the CEO of Larson's real estate was also very popular for his rigidity when it came to work and how he executed his work. But ever since she met him that afternoon, he had been the exact opposite. And in fact acted like a child when he was the older son. Especially around Edward who was supposed to be his kid brother. Andrea didn't know this before as she had speculated Edward to be thirty five, but everything washed down the drain when Drake's mom said she respected him despite the fact that he was younger. She learnt about the
As she picked Edward's fork to start eating, she remembered why the look Drake was giving her felt familiar. She had a quick flash back to that morning when they were moving their things and Gray's look flashed across her mind. "So that was it!" She exclaimed that she almost choked on what she was chewing. And then she came to a conclusion that those people knew something about her that she didn't. And now that Andrea was convinced that whatever made those people give her those weird looks involved her, she didn't care whether it was rude to eavesdrop or not. She dropped her cutlery on the empty plate in front of her before drawing her chair up and leaving the dining room. As she picked Edward's fork to start eating, she remembered why the look Drake was giving her felt familiar. She had a quick flash back to that morning when they were moving their things and Gray's look flashed across her mind. "So that was it!" She exclaimed that she almost choked on what she was chewing.

But before that, his tummy grumbled again. "Oh damn it. Don't you want me to have anything at all to eat? I'm really hungry from skipping all those meals." Andrea whined and put more force I her hand so she could drag Edward up.He got up with a start while studying not to collide with Andrea's backside which he had his gaze on.But then, in his bid to avoid doi g that, he lost his balance and fell back backwards. And not alone this time, because he managed to allow Andrea also lose her footing and she fall right into his laps. It looked all planned, but it wasn't intentional. He was only distracted for a while, and that happened. He let out a groan from.how close they were and how tight he felt. The temperature of the room suddenly felt hotter for Edward, despite the ninety nine absoluteness of the ventilation in the room.Even his head was getting clouded with the dirty clothes he had so tried to push and lock up in the past. But he wasn't the only one on this one.Because as
