"I am sorry we kept you waiting."
The red tuxedo man apologized, sitting down.
I nodded slightly while keeping my eyes on his face.
There was a shuffling sound for a while and when he was done, he looked up at me,"I am Owen Zidat, the MD of ZIDAT CORPORATION, can we proceed?"
I nodded my head, my lips twitching to form a smile.
My confusion was cleared because I realized that this man sitting right before is a brother, it could be a cousin or a blood brother. I did not know Zain had a brother anyway.
THIRTY MINUTES LATER….
"This man is hot though"
Catherine chipped in the moment Mr Owen left and his assistant, Mac, left. I got to know his name during the meeting.
I shook my head at what Catherine said and continued to arrange my stuff. If I don't know any better I would say she likes him but it's Impossible, Catherine is everything I am. No boys, yes girls. Or maybe she said that to get a reaction from me. Sorry to disappoint her but I am not in for such a mind game this afternoon.
The meeting did not take much time. It was just for thirty minutes. We went through different designs and he chose the best six. The dresses will be delivered to them in a month's time which we can do.
As of dishing my mind out, I could not because I did not meet the person I anticipated.
So my question now is why are they bringing business proposal to me? or is my mind trying to tell me that Zain doesn't know that I am the owner of Tasha Fashion, I doubt so.
"Hey"
I saw a hand waving on my face and I blinked.
"What now, Catherine?"
I asked with this dissatisfaction. Why is she disturbing me?
"Nothing, I could not get a response from you on what I said last so I had to bring you back from where your mind is trailing to"
She responded smiling brightly, clearly amused at how fast I snapped back at her.
"Ohh right, sorry about that"
I chuckled sheepishly and gave her a smile.
"By the way, you were saying"
I asked, raising my eyebrow. I don't want to waste any more time with her. She is so annoying
"I asked whether you want me to come to your house later?"
she asked excitedly.
I rolled my eyes."Why the hell am I getting this question from you."
I asked with my brows still raised up.
"Because I miss you."
She answered.
"I am going to ignore that comment. I am leaving now, let's go"
With that I stood up from my seat.
"You should not,you know? I missed you and I want us to have a great time today."
I said nothing as I continued to walk. She suddenly pulled me and yanked me to face her"
"What has come over you, you always jump to such an opportunity"
"Let go of me, Catherine. I hope you know I am your boss"
She let her grip on me slide and sighed,"I don't know why she is being an ass today."
I thought, finally exiting the conference hall.
Back inside my car, I sat waiting for her to come out but she was not forthcoming. I was getting impatient waiting for her. She is my assistant so I wouldn't leave her behind and because we have a kind of relationship, she doesn't behave like one.
I guess I have to remind her that she is my assistant and nothing more before she starts feeling that there is more to us.
Writer's point of view....
"You can always talk to me, Noah"
Madame Cassidy said, walking towards him. Noah was standing facing his window, he has been like that for a while now with so much going through his young mind. Being fifteen is not easy for him. There is so much he wants but he is not getting them yet he is the son of a billionaire. Life doesn't work like people think it does.
"Yes, I can talk to you anytime Madam Cassidy" He said softly looking at her.
"Then what is? what is going on with you. That girl that came here, she has everything to do with your suspension right?"
"Ma, it's not really her fault and whatever it is I don't wish to talk about it"
Madame Cassidy sighed then enveloped him into a hug.
"I am always here for you anytime you are ready to talk."
"Of Course ma, I will keep that in mind"
They broke the hug and she left with a saddened expression. It breaks her heart to see Noah like this. The poor boy has been through a lot, much more for his age.
"I wish I could see your pain through your eyes" She whispered before she closed the door behind her.
