Chapter 16
Oliver's POV
"Mason, must you say the word couple?" I grew angry at Mason immediately and Dorothy ran off.
"Come on man, I just said the truth and you know that, if I didn't show up here or said something, tell me the exact truth, you planned on kissing her?" He winked at me.
"Kiss, oh no, why would you think that? Never, this is so funny." I started laughing but deep down inside I asked myself, Do I wish to kiss her that moment?
"Stop pretending Oliver, let it out, she broke the walls already to your heart, soon she will be knocking to come in, and I know she alone is suitable for the vacancy in your heart."
"Oh my stomach, I am starving already, please let's get out of here and prepare breakfast, I am worn out," I said trying to avoid his discussion.
"Oh fine, you always run away from the truth, let's go to your place, I kind of miss your cooking."
"That's because I am a great chef." I made a show of yourself.
"Let's go but you know, she might be mad."
He said as he stepped into my car.
"Mad? Why?" I asked before pressing the button to start the car.
"You harassed her in public, she could sue
you." He said.
"Me? Harassed her, no way, you don't know what you are saying."
"You held her waist, even didn't stop touching her like she is your girlfriend when she tried standing up, lastly you aroused chemistry by trying to kiss her."
Oh no, what if she uses this against me?
"It's a misunderstanding Mason, secondly I am a good boss, she won't sue me," I added.
"Give me a good reason, huh?"
"Well, I am a good boss."
"You mean an arrogant boss, better call her and do the needful."
"Never, she ran off like an idiot, I will be so stupid to call her, will prepare breakfast now." I left him in the kitchen when we arrived.
He made me so uncomfortable. What's the issue with him mentioning her name, yes I tried to kiss her but it happens, I only got carried away and that's all.
I took out my phone, thinking if I should call her.
"Hell no, I am not calling," I yelled, returning the phone and bringing out the stuff I will be needing to cook when I recalled my first kiss with her.
Yes, I am stupid, I should just call, I concluded dialling her number.
She picked the call saying, "Boss."
"I.I.I" I struggled with the words to come out.
"Are you alright boss? Do I need to do something urgently?"
"Don't be late for the dinner date tonight." I ended the call.
"The CEO of Weiss sweating for just a call, I guess the word stupid is now in use," Mason said.
"Just get lost." I frowned.
"If you say so, be fast with breakfast, I got an outing today."
"I guess someone has forgotten he needs to be responsible to his parents for now."
"Arrh I hate you." He left and I smiled.
Dorothy’s POV
Daniella looked at me with all focus expecting me to tell her the details of the call.
"What did he say?"
"A reminder about the dinner meeting tonight," I said feeling a bit disappointed.
"Ouch, that hurt, don't worry tonight, you have him all to yourself."
"Let's change the subject," I suggested with a fake smile.
I checked the time, it's 5 pm already, meaning I need to start getting ready before the exact time for the dinner, oh sorry meeting, whatever.
I had my white towel on, looking in the mirror singing my favourite song as I stepped into the bathroom, scrubbing my body and singing as well.
I finished and dried off the water wearing my undies and applying cream on my body this time around, I got one for myself.
I started twerking around the dress I am to put on.
I faced my mirror and decided to apply light make-up on my face. I don't want to notice that much tonight.
I admired the pretty dress the boss got for me again before wearing it.
I brought out the heels and boom, I look like hot Cinderella, then I thought of what Daniella told me, I should pack my hair the exact way I did on that very night I saw my boss.
No, that's not a good idea, I should probably ignore it, but it's not bad If I should give it a try.
I concluded in packing my hair the same way I did that night, taking my only beautiful bag and old earring, now I am done.
Checking the time, it's past 7 already, "Oh no, what will I do now? Boss will be so mad at me. I shivered.
Taking my phone, I saw ten missed calls from my boss. I know I am finished now.
"Boss, I am close already," I said in a hurry picking his next call that came, I rushed out to get a taxi, heading to the place.
I started thinking about what I will say when I see the boss and here I am looking at the boss who looks so dashing.
"I hate lateness but you look amazing tonight, shall we?"
I was shocked that he didn't yell as usual, maybe because this is important to him.
I sat close to him but felt a little bit uncomfortable, the way he looked at me while talking to the CEO and it was making sense but still we both are pretending, I shouldn't take this so seriously.
I excuse myself, drinking from my glass of champagne, I stood at a spot, admiring a spot, I can't believe nobody like me will be here, that's one thing for working in a popular company.
"I think it's not right for a queen like you to be here all alone." I heard a familiar voice, I turned to see Aiden, the guy I saw before going to the club.
"Aiden," I said with a smile.
"I am glad you remember my name Dorothy, I know we will meet again, now I can say its fate, I won't lose you ever again, your number please, I would love to see such beauty daily to lighten my day," he said and I blushed
"Sure." Immediately I typed my number, giving him my phone, my boss came from nowhere holding me around my waist like we are a real couple and kissed my cheek, then he smiled at me for the first time since that night.
"Dear,I was getting worried, your attention
is needed." I could feel butterflies in my belly but I got scared seeing how Aiden and boss looked at each other.
