THE meeting is done
"Layla, I can't work properly if you keep on hugging my arm." His deep voice attracts me the most.
I think that's his asset. He can be a singer too.
He sighed.
His meeting is done and they'd talk for almost three hours long. I waited for him for almost three hours and it made me bored. I was so sleepy in the meeting.
"You can't blame me" I pouted and I looked into his eyes. He's reading papers. About whatever. "You made me miss you so much." I made beautiful eyes.
Actually, he had a follow up meeting but he canceled it. My husband is so sweet, I know he misses me too so he canceled his meetings. He's making an effort to fall in love with him even more.
"I know you miss me so much too. Don't be shy." I smiled widely at him.
He used his one finger to push my head from his arm. "Don't be assuming. Mr. Chuan canceled the meeting." He said nonchalantly.
I don't believe him. He's making excuses.
"No! You cancel it." I pressed every word that I said.
"Whatever."
He's so sweet.
"But can you please remove your hands? I can't work and focus properly." He said it while looking at my hands clogging on his arm.
I hug it tightly. "No!" Layla shifted his hands from his arm to his waist.
He sighed and smiled secretly.
We heard a knock again in the door.
He’s secretary is here again.
“Sir, the UK investor wants to have schedule with you tomorrow, should I arrange it? And you have a meeting outside the country on Friday and dinner meeting again with the Chinese investor.” She said.
I rolled my arms and crossed my arms.
This secretary of Jase, irritated me too much. She keeps on disturbing our quality time.
“And your flight tomorrow is early in the morning. 3am.” She informed me.
“What?!” I reacted. “You didn’t tell me that you have a flight tomorrow!” I complained. “You’re always having a schedule and meeting out of the country!” I rarely saw him and be with him.
He deeply sighed. I pity him, he must be very stressed and tired.
“Yeah, scheduled the meeting with the UK investor and about the Chinese board and investor, just update me again later.” He instructed firmly.
“Okay, Sir, Noted.” His secretary said and left.
“Why are you always busy every time I am here?” I asked when his secretary left us.
He continued to type on his laptop. I look at the papers on his table but I don't understand anything.
“It’s almost lunch time, what do you want to eat?” See, he is sweet.
I smiled at him and started to massage his shoulder.
I smiled at him and started to massage his shoulder. “I know you are tired.” He leaned in his swivel chair.
“Do you want to eat here or outside? Let me ask my secretary to reserve us in Japanese restaurant.” He said and dialed in the intercom. I stopped him.
He looks at him asking questions.
It flatters me that I love Japanese foods. “No! I am okay here, and besides I am the one who disturbs you. Delivery Japanese foods are fine with him.” I smiled at him and assured him.
I don’t want to disturb him anymore. I know he has a lot of work to do.
“Are you sure?” I energetically nodded at him and smiled widely.
He asked his secretary for the food for us.
“Don’t forget the Ramen!” I yelled. He chuckled.
“Yes, Madame.” He answered me.
He ended the call and held my right hand. “I am fine you don’t have to do it.” I pouted.
“You must be thankful that I am massaging your shoulders for free, next time, I’ll charge you.” He just smiled but didn’t reach his ears.
Something is bothering him.
“O M G!” I remembered something. “I forgot sister Shielyn, I was with her.” I just left her in the mall and if brother Kier found out that I left her he wouldn't give me money.
“Where? Layla, you know Kier when it comes to his wife.” I joked and slammed his arm. “I was joking” I laughed so it won’t sound obvious that I did something again. “I just forgot to give her presents since I got my salary. I’ll treat you in the future.” I changed the topic.
I bit my lower bit, I am nervous. Why brother likes a nerd woman? And he wants to look after her all the time, duh, I am not body guard or secret agent, I am model and she is not a baby to look after her. She can help herself, I'll just call the driver to look at her and send her home.
I sat in his lap. “How I wonder why they are still having a kids?” I ask him, he finally has a rest from working, he is holding my hands and playing with my fingers.
“How many years have they been married?” He asked, I counted in my mind.
“I don’t know,” I shrug. “It's been more than a year. I guess, I can’t wait to see my niece!” I giggles.
They had been married for a long time ago and I notice that until now they haven't had any children.
I know that my brother fell in love with his wife, I clearly see in his eyes and action.
“You want their baby to be a girl?” He asked me and was still playing with my fingers.
I nodded my head. “Yep! so, I have someone to make up and I'll teach her how to be a model. I know she will be a gorgeous girl. How about you?”
This is the first time we are talking about this matter.
“Anything, as long as he or she is healthy.” He said plainly.
I run my finger on his smooth black jet hair.
“Do you think does my brother haven’t have complication or is he gay?” I whispered. I never saw my brother or heard that he dated women, then it shocks me when he gets married out of sudden, he said yes in an arranged marriage. Knowing my brother, I don’t know what is running on his mind. It’s hard to read his mind.
He chuckled, “why did you think of that way?” I laughed at my idea too. “I never heard that he dated women and women are after him but he didn't pay any attention and now he is married but they haven't had any kids until now. Do you think he agreed in marriage because he want to cover his identity?”
“Silly.” He shakes his head. “Your brother doesn’t have time to date women because his focus is in his business, like me.”
“Really?” I asked him but I did not believe him. “Hey, that’s too much! They are living on one roof and sleeping in one room, do you think he won't be tempted to do it with his wife?” I am suspicious.
“The last I checked he is always out of the country, he is busy establishing his new company. I'm with him of all the time, how come he is gay? We had know him for almost a decades.”
He is just covering his friend.
I look at him suspicious. “Are the two of you in a relationship? Boys love??”
He furrowed, “Layla your imagination is too wide and I am not gay!” He hissed.
“I am just teasing you!” He glares at me.
Someone knocked on the door. “Maybe, that’s our food. Let me open the door.” I insist.
I opened the door and I saw nothing.
“Daddy!”

I leaned on his arm. “Jase, when is your plan to marry me?” I asked slowly. He knows that I had been crushing him for years.
He stops from typing on his laptop and he looks at his laptop for seconds.
“Hey? Are you okay?” I nudged him. What’s wrong with my question?
He looked at me and loosened his tie. “I am still busy and the company needs my full attention and Layla, we’re not in a relationship.” He continued what he was doing.
He is answering emails.
I stomped my feet in the ground in annoyance. “Hello! I am chasing you now! I say out loud my feelings for you and everyone knows that I am into you. Even my brother Kier gave up on my stubbornness. Brother Kier, doesn't want us to end up being together. I don't know what his problems are. Based on my point of view, it's actually good that I am going to marry one of his friends because they have known each other for a long time.
“I can’t marry you.” He said straightforwardly. Ouch! That hurts a lot.
