SURPRISING KAYE

Ivan didn't inform Kaye that he's returning earlier than what was planned. He wanted to surprise her. His driver picked him up from the airport but he stopped at one of the shopping malls to buy a flower and teddy bear for her.

"Just drop me off at GANZANI building." Ivan told his driver which was few hours from the airport. The whole building wasn't owned by Kaye's family. They were just renting five floors for their office employees and to conduct meeting as well.

Ivan reached the building before lunch and he knew Kaye would be eating in her office since she would always bring her own lunch.

"Excuse me. May I know which floor would I find Ms. Kaye Jimenez?" Ivan asked the woman at the receptions desk. It was his first time visiting her even though Kaye had visited him multiple times in his office already.

"Ms. Jimenez' office is located on the 12th floor of the left tower. There's a reception area of every floor so you can ask for her office there." the woman answered professionally but her eyes were glued to his handsome face.

"Thanks." Ivan strode towards the left tower where multiple elevators are situated. He pressed the floor number and waited for a while.

People came and went off the place. While waiting many women eyed him since he was holding a bouquet of chocolates tied to a flower and a big white teddy bear.

"What a thoughtful guy. It's not even Valentine's Day but he's still giving his girlfriend a surprise." commented one of the women who was also waiting for the elevator.

"The girl is really lucky." another woman echoed.

"I want my boyfriend to send me flowers, too." said another woman who was most likely the youngest of them all since she looked really young compared to them.

"Stop your wild imagination! Your boyfriend doesn't even know you. Stop watching c-drama already." snapped one of the women while giving the young girl a flick on her forehead.

"Ouch! You're meanie!" complained the young girl.

"She's right. You just graduated from university. Don't make your love life a priority. Besides, you don't really have a love life." another woman teased her.

"Ding!" the elevator that they all waited came.

Ivan went ahead of them and stood on the corner at the back. There weren't many people who came in with them since several elevators were opened.

The young girl pressed the 12th button and took a glanced at the man behind them. "Sir, what floor will you be going?" she asked him politely.

"I'm on the same floor as you." Ivan's answered made them opened their eyes in shock. There's no other company in 12th floor aside from theirs so their curiosity was once again ignited.

"Who could it be? Is anyone in the office celebrating a birthday?" one of their friends asked.

"Who knows? I've been in the company for 5 years. I've seen their husbands and boyfriends but he isn't familiar." whispered one of the woman who looked like a big sister to them.

"Right, Marie has been here for quite a while. This is indeed surprising." echoed the young girl.

They continued their gossips while giving him a glance from time to time. Ivan just smiled at them without saying anything.

"Ding!" the elevator opened and they all went outside. They walked ahead of him since they wanted to know which woman the guy belongs to.

Most of the workers were women since Kaye didn't like interacting with men. The men occupied the 8th to 11th floor of the building and most women where situated in the same floor as her.

Kaye's bodyguard sent her food earlier and it was almost lunch break already. Her employees bought their food as well so that they can eat inside with her.

Kaye loved interacting with her employees and she would share her food with them, too. This time, it's unlikely to happen.

Ivan got inside the company and followed the young lady who placed her things at the back of the reception desk.

"May I know where-"

"Ivan?!" Kaye's surprised and lovely voice interrupted Ivan from asking the lady. Her eyes were wide open and she couldn't stop her crazy heart from slamming in her chest. "Ivan, you're here!"

Regardless of the people watching her, Kaye ran towards him excitedly. Ivan caught her in a tight hug after placing the things on the table.

"I miss you so much. I return ahead of time instead." Ivan whispered while giving a her head gentle kisses.

"I didn't expect you to be here. Why didn't you go home and take a rest?" Kaye murmured on his chest, hiding her blushing face.

"I wanted to surprise you." Ivan rubbed her back to calm her. He could even feel the beating of her heart.

"I'm really surprise. I'm happy." Kaye looked up to him which made Ivan teased her.

"I believe your words. Your face is even redder than tomatoes." Ivan commented while pinching her face lightly.

"Stop teasing me. I'm about to eat lunch and I've got plenty of food. Would you like to eat with me?" Kaye changed the topic immediately to avoid his teasing.

"I'd be a fool to reject such offer." Ivan smiled before giving her the bouquet and teddy bear. "For you."

"Didn't I tell you that these don't matter? But still, thank you. You didn't really have to do this." Kaye's smile was infectious.

Her employees who watched them on the sideline smiled for their boss as well.

Who would've thought that their boss who seemed aloof has a handsome and thoughtful boyfriend?
