-chapter nineteen-

"Ok, you may go now as it is closing hour already" he said

'Was he really telling her that now, or did he just know that, for Christ sake the company close about an hour and half ago.' Stella sigh, this man was really frustrating her.

Fyn Sly saw the look on her face, then he smiled at himself mockingly. He didn't want to use this method but he had no other choice, tomorrow the gathering to welcome Steve Smith. He had to do this to plug her attention to him. Steve Smith has been in love with her since childhood and had even confessed to her twice, and if she was asked to choose between the two of them, he bet Steve Smith had higher chances than him. He wanted her, all of her especially her heart to belong to him.

He knows he has effects on her, but what he didn't know was if the effects were general or if it was only from him, he had never pursued a girl before nor had a girlfriend.

Stella looks at the man who seems to be lost in thoughts, "Have a great evening Sir" she said formally as she bow down her head a little before walking out of the office.

As she stood outside the company to look for a cab, an expensive looking car stopped at her front. Stella was surprised, she didn't know anybody with this car. She decided to move away from the car thinking that it wanted to pack there to pick someone up, but before she could move she heard her name.

"Stella, it's me." a familiar voice called her name.

"Sorry, do I know you?" she asked.

"Do you not recognize me?" the familiar voice questioned back.

" Should I? " questioned back.

" Ok, since you do not recognize me I'll introduce myself. I also hope you remember the name Steve? "

Suddenly a realization hit her, no wonder the voice sounds familiar, it's was Steve Smith. "Steve Smith?" she asked wanting to be sure.

"Thank God you remembered my name." Steve exaggerated as if he was relieved she remembered his name which made Stella laughed. although he said it exaggeratedly to lighten up the atmosphere, deep inside he was extremely relieved and happy, at least she didn't forget him.

"So how have you been Steve, I thought you weren't coming back again."

"That was what I planned in mind, until my dad had a little accident and I had to come home and take over the company." Steve said.

"Oh...,sorry about that, so how is his health now? ".

" He is better now. and you know what would make him more better? ".

" And what's that? ".

" Is if you take some time out from your busy schedule and visit him, he missed you a lot. I'm not sure he knows that you are in the country now, because if he knew he would have gone to your house and drag you by the ears until you promises to visit him everyday. "

" Hahahahahaha, I can see that uncle hasn't changed, don't worry, I will make sure to visit him when I am chanced. "
