CHAPTER 118: BLOOMS

“Are you just going to sit there, take this !” His father brought out a file, “what's that dad?”

“ You secure the contract with the firm, we need their partner for a new branch and if we get it, you can handle the branch!” “Dad, that is a serious business, I can't just do that, you know..." "Why can’t you?”

Before Ifti could respond there came a knock on his door, coming in was a shy Tisa, who looked at father and son.

While Ifti was happy to see her though he couldn’t hold her, his son was trying so hard to recall where he had seen that face.

“ I am sorry to interrupt but, I came for a confirmation to send the files I sent to your assistant's email, to the editing department!”

“Oh, okay, I will do that now !” “All alright..” she said remembering that she was at work, “ I mean yes sir excuse me “…

Tisa ran out of his office, “ that was weird !“ "What was weird ?” Ifti asked his son out of fear that he already suspected something.

“Nothing!” He said picking up the document, “ I will see you later on, and I will go through the document and get back to you knowing fully well this would not end well.

He rushed out of his father’s office, looking around to see that he lost her, “ Now I know where I have seen that face !”

He walks out of the company ignoring the stares the ladies are throwing at him, Calling his friend, “Can you please come over to my place we need to talk !”

“Alright, I will meet you at your place right now !” The friend responding ended the call, made his way home, met the housekeeper, and had lunch as usual.

He went ahead to meet his friend waiting for him in the car, “ I need your help to track someone “Really who is that?” “A lady I met today!” “Oh I see another of your escapades”

“ I feel this is different, she is different from those gold diggers and I need to really know more about her, find everything you can about her!”

“ I hope you are sure about this, so tell me what’s her name ?” “ I don’t know her name, that’s why we are going back to my father's company “

“ How come you don’t know her name?” he laughed at him seeing how childish it sounded “I didn’t get the time to do that, so please don’t talk me down..”

He said starting the car as he drove down to his father's company. He parked at the parking lot, They had waited patiently for the closing hours, and they would start leaving one after the other,

It took like forever for her to come out, “There she is, she is the beauty!” Tisa walked out slowly, looking tired and exhausted, “ you can say that again!”

His friend said taking a picture of her and making sure it was a clear one, “ I will get working on it, but I need to know her name at least!”

The moment he said that his father, Ifti's assistant, called her by her name, “ Tisa, Mr. Ifti would like to have a word with you!” Tisa’s heart skipped a little bit, “ okay !” She replied walking back into the company.

She took the elevators just so she could get there on time, a lot was already going through her mind.

“ I hope it's not about what happened earlier on, I didn’t mean to do that!” She looked so sad by the time the elevator door opened up, walking slowly toward Ifti's office

She was skeptical about opening the door, but she had no choice but to run away. It was best she faced her fear, holding her breath she pushed the door open.

“ Mr. Ifti, you called for me !” She said in a professional tone “ I see, you can drop the professionalism, we are the only ones in the building, come over here !”

Ifti beaconed her to come sit on his lap, only then did Tisa realize that she was holding her breath.

Running towards him, they kissed each other, with so much hunger, “ I wanted to grab you, the moment you came into this office, to kiss you and squeeze your backside“

This made Tisa blush, knowing fully well it would be a dream come true for her, she smiled lovingly at him “ I love you, Ifti!”

She blurted out, not knowing what effect it would have, Ifti suddenly went all silent and stiff, making Tisa feel so uneasy as she sat there.

“ I am sorry, I shouldn’t have said that!” Tisa said, standing up to leave but, Ifti dragged her back

And kissed her deeply, afterward telling her, “ I love you too Tisa, I was only too scared to tell you about that, can you at least be calm with me !”

“ I am sorry I felt that I had done something wrong telling you how I felt “ “No you didn't love okay?”

She smiled as they kept on kissing each other passionately, Ifti lifted her, moving her to the couch where it would be more comfortable for them …

The next day, Tisa woke up quite late, with her mother screaming her name “ Tisa, you know you have to go to work I don’t know why you are still asleep by this time of the day?”

“ What time is it, Tisa asked herself as she made her way out of bed, “10 am, oh no I hope I don’t lose my job this time around!” she let out, darting out of the bed.
