Chapter 19

NOVEMBER

This man is really bipolar.

I have never seen someone switch moods so fast like this man.

I've been sitting out here, thinking of every possible thing I've done to make this man behave like this but, nothing came.

"Nov" I heard a familiar voice call.

"Casper? What are you doing here?" I was surprised because the Casper I know didn’t stay in the office after hours.

"You didn't have lunch today, let's go have dinner" he looked at me, smiling like there's no tomorrow.

"Uhm, okay... I'll just get my things" I told him and started stuffing my bag with my stuff that was sprawled on the desk.

"Let's go" I told him, and we left the company.

"Anything interesting happen today?" Casper asked me. With the way this grown man likes amebo (gossip).

"I still have my job, like even when school resumes, I'll still be working in the company" I revealed.

"How did you manage that? I knew it, you're a witch" he says, and we laugh.

We arrived at Mr. Biggs and ordered our food.

I went for a plate of fried rice and chicken, while Casper went for jollof rice and fish.

"I don't even know what I did, he just started ignoring me," I said when we were fully settled with our dinner looking hot and fresh on the table.

"How?" Casper asked and I told him about the way Mr. Dragon ignored me.

"If there's one thing I know, is that men like attention, they won't outright say it to your face but deep down they want attention" Casper explained.

"Why would he want attention from me?" I was confused.

"You really don't know, do you?" He asked and that just confused me more.

"What do you mean?" I asked but with the look on his face, I knew he wasn't going to spill so I let it slide.

Casper dropped me at home with hopes of seeing Sally, but she went for a walk and would not be back till much later.

Poor Casper.

I think I should make a plan to set them up real fast. They'll look good together.

The girls continually went about how tired they were and stuff, so we went to bed early.

Casper's words were ringing in my head.

Attention...

Why would you want attention from me?

With that thought I fell asleep.

***************

"Good morning sir" I greeted as Kalmon passed by me, into his office.

I only got a nod.

Attention.

Right of course, he needs attention.

I grabbed his cup of coffee and knocked on the door, when I got a response, I entered. I noticed that he wasn't eating a tie, which is unlike him.

I dropped the coffee on his desk and went to his office closet where he keeps a couple of suits and ties and even casual clothing.

I felt his eyes on me, but I didn't turn to look at him.

"What are you doing?" He asked but I didn't respond.

I picked out a black tie and talked over to him.

"Can you stand up? Please" I added politely, and he stood up, looking at the tie like he'd never seen it before.

I knew going to a secondary school where girls wore ties was finally paying off.

"There, all done" I said as I adjusted the tie on his neck.

"Uh, thanks," he said and sat down, looking at the papers that were on his desk.

"You should have your coffee before it gets cold" I advised, and I could swear I saw a ghost smile appear on his lips.

He wanted attention; I'm going to give him attention.

It's been three hours and he hadn't called me to his office or asked me to get something for him which was unusual.

I smiled and knocked on the door, he told me to come in, but he sounded irritated.

"Uhm, do you need anything? Coffee maybe?" I asked him and he stared at me with wide eyes for a brief second before shaking his head.

I nodded my head and went down to the kitchen to make coffee.

I made two cups for him and for myself and went back to my desk where I dropped my cup of coffee.

I knocked on his door again, I'm sure he knew I was the one.

"Sorry, to disturb you, I went to get myself a cup of coffee, I made you one too" I explained when I got into the office.

I could tell he was surprised; I was surprised too. Hell, I didn't even know why I was doing this.

I'm crazy, but it's not my fault. This man makes me want to do crazy stuff.

"Are you okay?" He asked with a sly smile playing on his lips.

"Yeah, I'm okay. Are you? Is there something I did?" I just had to ask.

"No, thanks for the coffee" he said, this time a real smile playing on his lips.

Fuck, he looks good. Too good, I could eat him right now.

"Right, you're welcome, call me if you need anything. But I'm sure you already know that. I'm talking too much aren't I? I’ll just go. Bye" I rambled Way to fucking go November.

As I got to the door, I heard something I'm not so sure I heard.

"Fucking adorable"
