Capri raised his head instinctively and saw Red walking towards him.
He smiled taking in her appearance.
"Truly breathtaking." 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
Daniel and Red matched their glares aggressively, none relieving the intensity of the harshness of their stares as they kept staring daggers at each other."Why are you fucking lying Red?" 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!" He barked, "You fucking went on a date with a man.""Well... I am not into women so it would be a man of course." She shrugged folding her arms across her chest."Learn to be honest Red." He shook his head and walked
"She's always around!" She whined for the umpteenth time. 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." Red mimicked Karma's voice.She wanted her gone but she didn't know how to go about it as immediately Daniel found out that she was at the receiving end of Karma's leeching at the office, he backed down on trying to get her gone."And he loves to see me suffer!" She was complaining about Daniel this
"Roses for Red." The delivery man dressed in blue overall called out, "Roses for Red." He said again."I would reach out to you later ma'am." Red hung up and dropped the receiver. She raced out of the office immediately."Here I am." She said on seeing the man."Here you go ma'am." He handed her a bouquet of roses and a wrapped white box, "Sign here." He pointed to the clip board he was holding."Thank you." Red received the gifts and put her signature where she was asked to.She bade goodbye to him and went into her office.She hadn't even dropped the stuff on her desk when her door opened and Rose rushed in."What did he get you?" She walked up to Red."Chill." Red walked around and took her seat, "I haven't even checked it out." Surprisingly, Red and Rose hap
"Shrek found love and you still haven't and would never! Jerk!" Red screamed at him and stormed out of his office slamming the door behind him. Daniel was at it again. Back to his normal self. The sweet, funny and playful Daniel of last night was gone.The cruel, harsh and stone cold Daniel was back and all too quickly. She stomped off to her office angrily with a frown on her face that even put Rose off. Rose jerked in shock as Red got in and banged the door hard. She shook her head and continued tapping away on her computer system guessing Red wasn't in the mood to talk now. "He infuriates me so much, ughh!" She screamed and swiped the files arranged on her table in anger. They all came crashing down to the floor making a messy pile. "I hate it here!" She yelled out pulling her hair as she did. Red couldn't recall
Daniel was beginning to feel a little guilty about what he did to Red.He couldn't sleep.There he was standing next to his kitchen counter with a glass of water in his hand and his phone in the other dialing Dane at three AM.His best friend picked after the third ring."Hello." Dane said, "What the fuck do you want punk? It's fucking three Am."Daniel rolled his eyes, "Dane I messed up! I messed up big time!"He could hear his best friend sigh."Who is she and how many months gone is the pregnancy? Do you love her? Are you willing to keep the baby? What steps are you taking next?""What the fuck are you talking about?" He asked him."You said you messed up." Dane told him, "So I am guessing you got someone pregnant!""Fuck! idiot." He gritted, "It's Red! Red!""YOU GOT RED PREGNANT
Red decided to finally appear at the office after four days.And that was when she had decided that Daniel had suffered enough and Dane had also informed her that he was at the verge of reporting himself to the police.She walked into the building leisurely wearing shorts and t shirt not with a bag either.She was holding in her hand a letter, a half resignation letter she called it.Ignoring the stares as usual knowing they only looked at her like that cause she had been faux missing for a while, she walked into Daniels office after saying hi to Rose.She didn't knock. She just waltzed in like she owned the place."Jerk!" She screeched flinging the letter at him."R..ed." He stammered catching the letter, "It's you.""Yea, God kept me alive after that stunt you pulled." She rolled her eyes."Don'
A gentle breeze blew throughout the lawned green field caressing their skin and hair softly leaving soothing feelings. Daniel ran his hand through his hair before wearing his white face cap, he rubbed his palms together before picking up his golf bag. "Are you gonna sit all day in there?" He asked Dane who was sitting in the golf cart, "We do not have time." "Waiting for someone." He said. "Who?" Daniel asked. "One...two...three and there she is." "You brought Red here?" Daniel screeched as he saw his best friend waving at an approaching golf cart. Red was waving at them with her bright Red hair flying in rhythm with the wind. "She asked what I was doing today that her boyfriend would be out of town and Sarah isn't chanced to hang out with her." Dane said, "So I told her to come to hang out with us." "And you didn't think to inform me?" Daniel was getting furious,
"I wonder what part time job Red does." Daniel said to Dane, "But boy am I glad she's always away for the rest of the day.""There is a thin line between hate and love." Dane smirked."There is a thing line between me punching you and plucking your eyes out." He growled at him."I..." Dane couldn't complete his statement as they heard a loud crash."What is that?" They both asked simultaneously.The two men stood up and rushed to Daniel's window, looking down the couldn't see anything.Crash!It was the darn sound again and even louder this time. Rose rushed through the door with panic written all over her face."What is that noise Rose?" Daniel asked her immediately acknowledging her entrance."Sir, it's Red." &
