He looked at me and then back at the door again. Hold on he was nervous this must be a big meeting. When Asher often has big meetings, he gets like this. I usually calm him down by holding his hand or giving him a speech before. "You're nervous?" He scoffed at my comment but responded. " Nervous please-" "You don't have to front Asher I know your nervous. I'm going to the meeting let's go." "No, Natalia-" "Stop you always do this every time you’re nervous for a meeting. " "First: you don't want me to go because you don't want me to see you like this." "Second: we get in a huge argument over it." "Lastly: I finally win and we end up going to the meeting with me at your side." "So, let's just skip the argument part for now, shut your trap! And let's go" I said raising my voice, and shoving the coffee in his hand. He looked at me for a little, and then nodded his head in defeat. He walked up to me and looked at me before we exited the hall. "Fine, but we're not done with this conversation." He stated hinting about me coming back to work without telling him. "I don't plan on it." I said muttering to myself. ******* The meeting went fine as I thought it would. It went smoothly, so we were now seated in his expensive limo driving back to National Elect Industries. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?” He asked flipping through his papers. Oh, here we go again. "Just drop it!" I said. "No, I'm not-" "No, you are, because if you can't tell me more about Victoria, and the baby. Then I don't need to explain anything." I said in a soft voice. "I already told you-" He started saying dropping his pen from writing and looking at me now. "Yes, you did but only half of it. There's still bits of the story that I'm lost on or worried about Asher." He looked at me, before he turned to his papers again, and asked the most stupid question for this serious conversation. "So, how's Miya?" I scoffed and threw my hands in the air. "Wow typical Asher, avoiding the subject, because it's too much for him. This is the exact reason why we will never go far in this relationship!" I said raising my voice. He snapped his head at me in anger, closed his files of paper work, and threw them on the other side of the seat. He hunched forward putting his elbows on his knees and his hands intertwined together in front of his legs looking at me with a tense stare. I crossed my arms, and legs giving him the same look back. "What!?" He just kept on staring at me before he responded. "Fine." "Fine what?" He sat back fully in his seat yelled to the limo driver to stop here. Once the limo stopped he got out of the limo leaving the door open. This was it he was going to leave me. I felt sick, I was going to start screaming and fussing till I heard my name. "Aren't you coming Natalia?" I heard him ask from outside the limo. I stepped out and we were in front of a little cafe. I turned to him ready to protest. "I will answer every question you ask. I will tell you everything in the whole entire world about me if you do me a favor in return." "And what is that?" I questioned He stepped a little closer to me, to point where I can smell his minty breath fanning my face. "Go to lunch with me?" He held out his hand for me to take it. Man, he's is so slick. I looked at the cafe, then to him, and to the limo. I had three options: I can go in the limo and go back to the hotel where I was currently staying at with Miya, and quit my job, and leave never seeing him again. I can stand out here forever looking dumb not saying anything. While he waits for answer because I know he won't leave until he gets one. Or I can go into that cafe have a simple lunch with him while he finally opens up. The thing I've been waiting for months now. I looked at his hand before I took it in my own, he looked at me and smile and said the most annoying words "Good choice." He whispered in my ear. I rolled my eyes at his comment. However, we headed into the doors of this little cafe with our hands intertwined together. ****** After we were finished with our lunch. I spoke up first. "So how did you guys meet?" I asked putting my hands together under my chin and looking at him. He sighed before he answered Here we go this is it. I'm finally going to get these answers. ” I was going to a business meeting. It was one of my first ones. This meeting was mainly based on who can invest in the company I have now. And unfortunately, she was a part of that company, and she was there." "Her beauty caught my eye first, but the more I got to talk to her I fell for her easily. I asked her out on a date and she agreed." "Our first date was engraved in my mind for weeks. I mean she was perfect all around, and she was the perfect match for me. I mean my parents even fell in love with her, I did, and not just our own personal feelings but our careers mushed in so well together that we did business well. I mean I even joined my company with hers." He said looking at me "I didn’t know that you joined companies with her? Is that why you are so reluctant in joining or doing business with anyone else? I asked. He looked at the lemon floating in his water before he answered with a nod. "Yeah, and the sneaky thing she did after that?" He said sitting up more looking out the window in anger. "What do you mean?" I asked genuinely looking at him. "After we joined our companies together. It was about a year that we were dating, and I fell in love with her. I proposed to her and she obviously said yes. A few months after that we built a home together and soon became pregnant." He looked down and breathed heavy, he rubbed his hands through his face and eyes. He was burned with pain.
