“I’m sorry for stopping you abruptly but I noticed it’s past lunchtime,do you mind if I take you out for lunch?” Henry said,looking really nervous. “What did you say again?” Ann was surprised at what she just heard.She was feeling sad because she couldn’t find a reason to talk to him privately and sort things out between them. And she didn’t want to ask him out for lunch because of what happened the last time she did.“I’m really sorry for reacting that way,you just caught me off guard.” Ann added “You don’t have to be guarded to understand what I’m saying. Do you want to have lunch with me? And just in case you might not be comfortable with me, I invited our assistants too.” Henry said.“It’s just to appreciate you for coming all the way here. Don’t worry,it’s my treat.” Henry added.“It’s not a big deal. It’s definitely your treat. You asked me out for lunch and not the other way around” Ann said jokingly.“It’s alright,I’m not complaining. So is that a yes?” Henry asked. “Yes,I
“He cheated on me with her and I caught them in the act. Moreover I’ve never been interested in him, I only agreed for your sake. So let her go ahead and do whatever she wants.” Ann said. “Are you serious right now?” He asked her. “Yes dad, did she tell you something else?” Ann asked“She didn’t really say much because I didn’t even give her the chance to. Why would she say she wants to marry her sister’s man? Does that even make any sense?” Her dad said angrily.“Dad,as long as Ben is okay with getting engaged to her,then let them go ahead with it. Whoever he marries is not my business,the contract we have with his company is what is important right now. So just forget it.” Ann said“Are you sure you’re okay with it?” Her dad asked again “I’m really okay with it, dad. I’m fine with the engagement,just do me a favor please. Can you promise me that you will do it for me?” Ann said in a rather quiet voice.“This one that you want me to promise you, I guess it’s something serious. Tel
“This is really weird. Leaving the whole of Jacksonville as big as it is to Sebastian? That’s too much.” Henry said.“Am I missing something here? I will find out,”Henry added. Ann’s povShe stepped out of the car with Martha. “It’s been a while. I miss this place so much.” Martha said“We were here three months ago,so why are you talking as if you’ve not been here for so long.” Ann replied“I expect you to miss this place more than I do. Moreover, three months is a very long time. I miss my baby.” Martha said. A pretty little girl was seen running towards them. Ann and Martha saw her and opened their arms expecting a hug from the little girl but she ignored Ann and hugged Martha instead. “My darling, I miss you so much.” Martha said“I miss you too, aunt.” She said in a very cute and tiny voice. “Ella,am I invisible right now? Why are you ignoring me?” Ann said. “I don't want to talk to you Ann.” Ella replied “Really? And I brought so many gifts for you,maybe I should just giv
Ann got to work early and prepared for the meeting with Linda. She wants to make him comfortable in her office just like he did. Henry arrived about an hour later,they exchanged greetings and he also admired the office.“You worked really hard to make your office look very nice.” Henry said when he saw the interior decoration of her office. “It’s my work, I can’t have anything less.” Ann replied.“Yeah, I almost forgot. I guess it’s time to change my office interior. Can I count on you for that?” Henry said“This is the only thing I know how to do best. I will be glad to do that sir.” Ann said smiling. “Please have a sit.” She added.“Thank you ma’am.” Henry said as he sat down.“Coffee or tea?” Ann asked “Coffe please.” Henry replied. Linda brought the coffee to them and the meeting started . “Can I ask you to please supervise the materials used for the construction by yourself? I’m not doubting you or anything but you know leaving these things to our workers might sometimes not
“WHAT!!!!” Ann screamed.“Keep your voice down. You don’t have to scream like that.” Henry replied.“Why won’t I? That’s a lot of money.” Ann said“I don’t want anyone to disturb our lunch.” Henry replied“There’s nothing to disturb,you just went overboard.” Ann said“Are you upset because of it? I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable. It’s just that this place is always crowded and you might meet people you know.” Henry said“People might see me with you? Is that a problem?” Ann asked“I’m okay with being seen with you, I really don’t mind. I just don’t want you to feel uncomfortable with me.” Henry said“Do I look uncomfortable?” Ann asked calmly “No, but you might if you run into someone you know.” Henry said“Are you saying this for my sake or for your sake?” Ann asked “I don’t understand what you are saying?” Henry said “It looks like you’re the one who is scared of running into someone. Are you married?” Ann asked “Hell No !. I’m not married. Why would you even say that?” Hen
It was a bright Sunday morning, soft music could be heard from the hotel,workers going on with their duties and sounds of cars coming in and out of the hotel. Ann was not ready to wake up yet as she used the duvet to cover her face from the rays of sunlight. She slept late and couldn’t be bothered about anything this morning since she doesn’t have anything important planned for the day. The rest of the team went out for breakfast and when Henry saw Linda without her,he waited thinking she might be in her way. Linda and Bryan noticed that Henry was not going with them.“What are you waiting for sir? Let’s go.” Bryan said“She’s not joining us for breakfast. She said she wants to relax for a while. I think she slept late.” Linda said knowing Henry was waiting for Ann.“Ohhh,alright no problem.” Henry replied and they went to the restaurant to eat. After the breakfast,Bryan asked Henry for permission to go sightseeing later with Linda. And since they don’t have anything important to do
“Are you sure? You’re not going to change your mind later?” Henry said“I’m about to change my mind now. I already said yes,so why are you still pestering me?” Ann said“It’s fine,I’m sorry. So 5pm? Is that okay by you?” Henry asked “Yes. So can you leave my room now? Or are you planning till 5pm?” Ann said“If you want me to.” Henry said and laughed when he saw Ann’s facial expression.“That was a joke,I’m leaving okay? I will cal you when it’s time.” Henry said“It better be. You can just text me and I will meet you at the lobby.” Ann said“Whatever you want.” Henry said and left. Ann closed the door after Henry left for his room then she called Martha and told her what happened.“You accepted his offer already so what are you still confused about?” Martha said “That was my mistake. I shouldn’t have said yes.” Ann replied“What’s wrong with going out for a drink with him? It’s an opportunity for you guys to talk and get to know each other better.” Martha said“I know,I’m just sca
They got to the restaurant,Henry got down first to open the car door for her and she also stepped out. They entered the restaurant and a waiter led them to a table that had been earlier reserved by Henry. “Please have a seat.” Henry said as he pulled out a chair for her .“Thank you.” Ann said. She waited for him to sit down also before talking.“I hope you didn’t rent the entire restaurant today?” Ann asked “Are you teasing me or you really want to know?” Henry replied“It’s just a harmless question.” Ann replied“I understand,No I didn’t. As you can see,we’re not the only ones here today.” Henry said in his defense.“I can see that. I thought we’re just having a drink.” Ann said “A drink on an empty stomach? Have you eaten anything else other than the breakfast I brought you?” Henry asked“No,I was busy with work.” Ann replied“That’s why we are eating first. You can’t drink on an empty stomach. So just eat and we can drink afterwards.” Henry said“Alright,I’m actually hungry .”
