Chap 16

DUSTIN saw Selena talking to the foreman about the materials on the construction for VRE Subdivision project. As usual she's very focus on her duty again. He just came back from the island when they told him that she's at the site, and here he is. Watching him from afar and didn't want to interrupt her work. It's close to lunch when he decided to invite her for lunch.

Her grandma called and said to go and have lunch with them again. Said she's going to take all the chances to at least be with him while he's in town. When he said that he's working because they are going to start the construction when her grandma still insist that he could bring his workmates with him.

Selena is beautiful no matter what she wears. That makes him curious why she still didn't have a boyfriend. When he asked Friday about it, she said Selena is hard working woman and kind of aloof to boys since she started in FerCon. When someone also tried to take some advances on her got some bruises on the face after.

Dustin smiled to himself again because she didn't do that to him yet. Yes she's trying to resist him or sometimes ignored him, but didn't try to hit him yet. He had a little hope that she also feels the same for him. But wait… what feeling does he really have? Isn't it just lust? But why did he miss her when he was not around or he didn't see her for the day? Like his day will not be complete without seeing him or talking to her? And sometimes he felt jealous when he saw him laughing or talking to her male colleges at work? What does he really feel?

"Boss Dustin, you're back to the field?" One of the workers in the company asked when he saw him. A lot of workers are loyal in the company that they stay working in FerCon for a very long time now. Just like Pepe.

"Just for this project."

"Too bad, anyway, is it because of Miss Selena?" He's friendly to all the workers that are why they can do casual talk with him. Besides, when it comes to work, they are doing their jobs and no one is sloppy.

"Is it that obvious?" He slightly joked.

"Oh." Then Pepe chuckled. "But boss, just a piece of advice. Be careful with her, she's not the typical girl you know. She knows how to knock someone."

Friday told him that everyone in FerCon knew about that because it became a big issue inside the company. The issue went into filing suits but dismissed when all witnesses said Selena was on the right. But Dustin didn't know that even the workers knew about it too.

"Why did you say that?" He played innocent.

"Miss Selena is more manly that anyone else here. One architect forced to kiss her when she pushed him away and punched him on the face. The guy had serious bruises too."

Now that's new. Friday didn't tell her that he was forced to do something. They said he just tried to do some advances. No wonder it went into filing suits. Dustin felt somewhat furious on that guy. How dare him do that to Selena?

"Pepe, what nonsense are you saying there again?" They didn't notice that Selena was in there.

"I didn't say anything Miss Selena. Me and boss Dustin is just chatting. Anyway, boss, nice to see you again." Then Pepe just left like that.

"I didn't know that you came back today?" Selena asked him.

"Just came back today. Are you good to go?" he asked after looking at his watch.

"Yeah. I'm going back to the office now."

"Good, let's have some lunch first. Are you okay with that?"

"You're inviting me for lunch?" she asked with a knot on her forehead.

"Yes."

"Okay." She shrugged.

That surprised him because he thought he should be using his convincing power to ask her for lunch but she said okay instantly. But on the other hand it also makes him hapy.

"Cool. Let's just tell someone to bring your car to the office."

"I didn't bring my car." She said before he asked someone.

"You didn't?"

"It's my number coding now." Right. They have this number coding for all vehicles, private or public, that every weekday. A number ending up in the designated number of the day, can't go on the road.
