Met Simon

Today Sofia was not going to pick me up. I had to buy some toys first for Rose as promised and catch a bus to reach home. As I was about to close my computer. Richard asked ' Your friend hasn't come yet' I replied ' Oh Mr.Richard she is busy and will not be able to come to pick me up '. I then saw a man entered the cabin after knocking. Richard smiled and started talking to him ' Simon child how are you, you were somewhere in Germany when did you return. The man replied with his husky voice ' Uncle I was in Frankfurt, just returned yesterday. Julie looks the same ' and he looked at her Richard looked at me too and introduced Simon son this us my new Secretary Ms Ria. He stood came towards me to shake hands ' Nice meeting you Ms Ria.' I smiled ' Same here' And took my hands away from him. He smiled and went and sat in front of Mr Richard. They were talking and I was looming at my watch. Julie entered and walked towards Richard. She said ' I'm going home ' and she looked at Simon. ' So you are back, this time are you going to stay or going back ' Simon smiled & replied mischievously' Julie darling if you ask me to stay I will stay' Julie gave him a look ' Oh Simon you will not change ' And she looked at me ' Come on Ria pack your bags Sofia will here anytime from now on ' I was about to reply but Richard replied instead ' oh her friend will not come today to pick her ' and then looked at Simon ' Son why can't you drop Ria home ' I suddenly interfereed ' Oh no thanks I will take the bus and on the way I want to buy some toys for Rose ' Richard again said ' what son did you hear her will it be a disturbance, can you drop her ' Simon smiled ' Yes uncle I am free the whole night I will drop Ms.Ria home.' And he got up I had no choice I took my purse and walked behind Julie and Mr Simon. His sports car was parked in front of our office. He opened the door and I got in and murmured Thanks. He took his driver's seat. And he was driving, and suddenly asked where is your house' . I gave him my address. He again spoke so you wanted to buy toys are you married ' I replied ' Yes I'm married and I wanted to buy a doll for my daughter '. He again spoke ' What's your husband doing ' I had no answer I just took some moment and replied ' oh he just arrived in Paris only two days back. ' He looked at her ' Ok so what did he do from where ever he came from ' I again had no reply ' He was working in an MNC but then he lost his job '. He spoke 'Hmm, so first let's find a toy shop '. I nodded. He stopped at a toy shop. He walked out and opened my door and when I got out he walked beside me. I looked at him and said ' it's ok I will go and buy myself it won't take much time ' He replied ' I like walking beside you '. And he smiled. He was flirting. I was a little nervous without answering I entered the shop. it took some moment to find a doll within my budget. I took and was about to pay the bill Simon took the I'll and paid. I was shocked but didn't say anything in front of the cashier. when I sat in the car, I gave him the money. He said ' Leave it it's a gift from me to your daughter ' I replied immediately ' I'm sorry I can't accept it, we don't even each other properly, we just met, you have not seen my daughter too '. He smiled again ' We already got introduced and for not knowing your daughter after seeing you I know your daughter will also be beautiful like her mother ' . He was flirting again. I ignored him didn't reply. I just sat and looked outside ignoring him completely but I knew he was watching me. We reached home, he git out opened the door for me which Ryan never did, I got out murmured Thanks and was about to walk towards the house. He stopped me ' Will you not invite me in ' I hesitated Ryan will be at home and if he sees Simon he will be angry and gave lots if questions. And I didn't know how to answer him. Without waiting for my reply he walked into the house. I opened the door with my key he was just behind me I knew he was watching me. Then I opened the door. I saw Rise running towards me asking ' Mum did you bring me the doll ' I smiled and forgot Simon was watching us replied hugging her ' Yes darling this us for you ' I gave her the doll she kissed me and took the doll happily and I asked her ' where is dad ' She was more interested in the doll so she just said ' Gone out like yesterday mom' I took a sigh of relief. I looked at Simon and then said to Rose ' Say thanks to him dear, he bought you this doll '. Rose walked towards Simon and kissed him on his cheeks. He smiled he was sitting next to her when I returned with a cup if coffee. He took the coffee and I heard the door open I was nervous thinking what Ryan will think and turned back and saw Sofia. it was a relief seeing her. She walked towards her I introduced her to Simon ' Sofia my best friend and he us Mr.Simon, Mr Richard's nephew ' Sofia took his hand they shake hands and Sofia sat on the opposite sofa so I had no choice rather than to sit next to Simon. Sofia and Simon talked as if they knew each other for years. I was waiting for him to go. And then he got up and I felt relieved He went out towards his car and Sofia standing beside me softly murmured ' From where did you get him, he us so handsome and you know the whole time he was staring at you ' . I replied ' you keep quite, you always exaggerate things ' I closed the door.
