Red flipped through the papers impatiently with her signature groan.
She looked at the time, he still wasn't here yet.She was at Daniel's penthouse.
It was a Saturday and they had work to do.
The door opened as she was about to glance at the time again.
In came Daniel, his face contorted in a frown.
"You are late again!" He snapped at her, "Even on a Saturday."
"It's a Saturday that's the more reason I am late." She retorted watching him pick the seat farthest from her.
They were at his dining area.
Daniel didn't answer her, he just focused on arranging the files in front of him.
"Glad you very well understand that I do not want to be near you causing you to take a seat far way from me." She snorted beating him to it, "Good for me."
"Since it's registered that we both despise each other." He hit his hands

Red stood before him, "Do you like it?" She did a 360° twirl."No!" He grunted."No?""Yes, No!" He shook his head, "It doesn't suit you Red.""What's wrong with it?" She looked down at the dress."What isn't wrong with it?" He sighed, "It's beige colored and doesn't look good on your pale skin. It has puffed hands and it is way too wide at the bottom.""I think it is perfect!" She stood her stance."Exactly what you have said for the other twenty dresses!"

Capri was chatty. Not too chatty but a bit on the moderate side. Although, Red wanted to ask instantly how he had gotten that watch and if it was actually Daniel's but she found herself woven around his finger quickly swooning in the blonde man's charm that she even had the notion that the watch may not be Daniel's."So what do you do?" He asked her, "A business woman I guess.""No." Red chuckled, "I am a personal assistant to someone.""Still in the line." He shrugged.Red got startled as his hand reached out and grazed her face pulling hair from it."You had something there." He smiled.His hands were back in his pockets now."Thank you." Red blushed.They stood there in silence staring at the garden before he spoke up again."I would love to see you some other time."

He said muffling his laughter, "I mean have you seen you?"She looked at herself up to down and down to up again."What's wrong with me?" She asked, "I look quite presentable if not perfectly presentable."Daniel burst into laughter again, "Cut the act Red and pass me the files.""Go and take them yourself!" She groaned reaching for her phone again, "I have a call to make with my future boyfriend."Daniel's laughter came out in a snort, "If you managed to have a boyfriend, it means the world is coming to an end."She rolled her eyes at him and walked towards the windows with the phone in her hand.She looked and saw Daniel waiting there with hands at akimbo with a smirk o

The doctor pronounced packing his first aid box, "That is if he follows his medications judiciously and takes rest.""I would make sure of that doctor." Mrs Hart stood up, "Thank you very much for coming. Let me see you off." She stood up and went out of the room with the man leaving Daniel alone. He reached out for the magazine again despite his quacking hands, he picked it up and brought it to his face.The headlines meeting his sight harshly as if for the first time.'BILLIONAIRE TYCOON DANIEL HART FOUND HOMELESS AND DRENCHED IN THE RAIN'"M..e...Ho..me..less?"

The words came out as a whisper, his eyes never leaving her being.He admired her as she walked not too gracefully towards him, he guessed the heels she wore posed difficulty for her."Hey there!" They both spoke as Red finally reached the table.He stood up immediately and drew out for her the empty seat."Sorry, I am a bit late." She said tight lipped as she sat down, "There was traffic."It wasn't entirely a lie but most of the reason why she was late was cause she developed cold feet like it was a wedding."No problem dear." Capri said returning to his seat."I am also sorry I had to cancel yesterday." She apologized, "My boss...""I understand Red." He waved the i

He growled, "Can't you be honest for once in your life?""The question you asked me is none of your concern." She pointed out, "So I get to choose if to tell you the truth or lie to you.""I am your boss." He stated, "You shouldn't be lying to me Red." He said, "Now for the last time, how did you spend your day yesterday?""At home, doing nothing." She told the same lie, "Why are you so curious to know?""You liar! You are fucking lying again!"

Red was beginning to get irritated by the Karma lady to an extent she began regretting ever going against Daniel's wishes.She was always at the office, clinging to Daniel pursuing him like bees to honey and giving opinions when hers wasn't needed.Worse still, she had Red do everything for her immediately she found out she was Daniel's personal assistant she never relented on making her an errand girl."Oh Red get me coffee, oh Red get me this, oh Red get me that."

She was complaining about Daniel this
