You got to be kidding me .?

Liya POV

Liya - "What are you doing here?" ( expressionless)

What is he doing here I have a meeting with Mr Jonas not with him uhhhh

unknown -"Hello Miss Smith it's pleasure to meet you. I am a business partner of Mr Jonas. Zack De Rossoé" ( he speaks as he doesn't know me or like we are meeting for the first time )

avoiding his stares that can see right through my soul. I mentally take a deep breath and put on I don't care emotionless bitch face

Liya - "ok"( numb)

I and Zack De Rossoé both take our seats

and the waiter comes to take the order

waiter- 'good morning, what can get for the two of you?"

I opened my mouth to speak but

Liya -"..one..."

Zack De Rossoé -" two grilled sandwiches, one black coffee no sugar and one coffee latte"

(i looked at him and interpreted),

Liya - "no one grilled sandwich, one black no sugar coffee for this gentleman and one avocado grape salad, one large ice lemon tea for me". ( I said while looking at hi

m)

he looked confused

The thing is people change so does their taste and preferences and I gave a fake smiled

Zack De Rossoé -"but you liked coffee latte"

Liya - "people change so does the taste and preferences. "(emotionless face )

our order came and we ate in silence. but I broke it as I spoke

Liya - "MrZack De Rossoé the collab between your and Mr Jonas company and mine will be for summer clothes as your company is well known for its bright colours I would like the designer of both our companies to work together on this line let's make two teams of designers of both companies mixed and see what designs they can make for more further discussion in tomorrow's meeting. details are sent to both your and Mr Jonas secretary. it was a pleasure meeting you now I will take my leave." ( I said with a professional smile and stood up to take leave)

Zack De Rossoé -"you worked hard I can see. I never knew all these years that you were CEO of SL"

Liya - "I don't recall that I am answerable to you "( numb)

waiter -"sir bill. I hope you both enjoyed your meal"

I took my card and gave it to the waiter while Zack De Rossoé was putting daggers in me with his stares

one minute later

the waiter came back with my card I took it and was ready to leave. I left the restaurant and walked toward my car without looking back I reached my car and was about to open it when

Zack De Rossoé - "stop you are not leaving right now ( Holds my wrist and turns me to face him ) you can't leave till I say you can.'

Liya - (completely pissed)" And who in the f****** hell you think you are to stop me touch me or like hell speak to me like that

hn.."(said in a sarcastic mocking tone) "who are you and who the hell gives you these rights? (escapes his grip and pushes him back)who? cause I sure don't remember giving you this much liability..."

*Both standing there looking into each other eyes searching for something In silence *

Liya POV

why is he back? what does he want now? has he not done already enough and why out of all these companies his company and why out of all these years now why in the f****** world why

finally, I was alright doing great all by myself why does he always makes me do things I don't want to do I never curse easily or lose my temper I always deal with problems clam but he makes me do things the way I used to do for years back why

it's been an eternity that I have seen his deep black eyes I always get lost In them but I need to get my mind straight Liya control myself I said to myself and looked away

Liya -" I am waiting for MrZack De Rossoé to answer me" (expressionless)

Zack De Rossoé - "you know I don't need to tell you that question's answer cause you already know it"(expressionless)

Liya - "MrZack De Rossoé would you enlighten me cause I don't know the answer"(expressionless)

Zack De Rossoé -"ok then let me tell you who gave right it was none other than y....".( phone rings)

Liya - "excuse me but I need to take this call it was a pleasure meeting you but let's hope I don't meet you again (with a business smile)( without waiting for this reply picks the call and get inside the car and goes ) ( she can see him standing there and looking at her car from behind)

Liya POV

I stepped out of the car and entered the company and I got into the elevator to my office the and first thing I did was I ordered a large peach ice tea for myself to relax.
