Awkward Meeting

The next morning,the sun shone through the window as Liliana rubbed her eyes lazily trying to adjust to the harsh rays,birds were chirping outside making her both irritated and happy,she glanced at the watch on the night stand beside her bed and was 6 in the morning...

"damn! why does it always have to be morning"she hated waking up early especially mondays even though she didn't have a job to rush to,carefully she dragged her lazy body to the washroom to do her morning routine..

after a long shower which soothed her aching body Liliana settled for blue shorts with loose black T-shirt with her wet hair tied in a messy bun and headed downstairs....

"morning princess you look awful"jacob said as Liliana approached the dining area and took a seat across him....

"You know jay every time you say that you give me more reasons as in to why you don't have a girlfriend"she said taking coffee from him "hmm nice coffee"

"what I say is the truth simple"he smiled warmly..

Jacob is liliana's good friend she met him at a gathering were various companies were presenting their latest projects and Jacob's company was one of them,his company rival wanted to cut him out and they sabotaged his project presentation,liliana being a witness to it all exposed them and saved the day since then jacob took a friendly liking to her and offered her money as thank you but she refused...he being a generous man offered her a place to stay since she was looking for one and the fact that jay lived alone in a big mansion....liliana has several times asked him about his family but he shoves her off every time and never talks about having any siblings...

" you know sometimes coat those bitter sour words of yours in some honey or hot chocolate that way it might be bitter sweet words,maybe just maybe a girl might like you" she made sure to emphasize on the last words..

"not a chance,how is your new target??"he changed the topic once this woman starts she doesn't stop,one day he might wake up and find out that he's married without attending his own wedding nor consenting to it..

"not so smart,clearly not what I expected from a CEO" she continued munching on her breakfast..

"princess do you think you will pull this off" he said while going through his office files,

He has always supported this crazy woman and got her out of trouble most times,what he liked the most about her was the fact that she knew exactly what she wanted and will do everything to achieve her goals which scared him the most who knows she might scam him next,such a vicious lady at a young age...

"I gave him two days and don't worry I'll get it done in no time"she smiled happily at him making her look cute.

Jacob has always been careful not to look at her much she was a very beautiful and living in the same with such a gorgeous woman wasn't easy but they both respected each other she knew when to approach him and what to say above all she was very supportive and fun to be around with...

"there is a party later on in the evening,care to come with me?" she hated parties the most he knew that but he tried his luck..

"party on Monday??and don't tell me its for rich people wearing fancy dresses and expensive tuxedos"

"yeah,I don't want to go but I have to and I need a partner since......."

"you don't have a girlfriend I get it"she finished the sentence for him "but why me take your secretary"

"your target will be there too,don't you think it would be great"

"okay then"she agreed

"good I'll send the dress and mask its a masquerade party" he said that and gathered his office things and left,Liliana sighed heavily as she wondered why such a handsome hunk is single if it were up to her she would date him in a heart beat but no(she hated being in a relationship so did jacob maybe that's why they get along pretty well)she sat there imagining his brown slightly long curly hair

"running my hands in his soft hair would feel nice"she slapped herself for having such thoughts about jacob and decided to take a walk In the garden...

While in Ivin's office a petite lady with long straight blonde hair falling to her shoulders,wearing a short red office dress which stuck to her frame wearing black wedges making her look tall,was bickering nonstop as Ivin listened very carefully while typing on his laptop...

"so I chose this cute short black dress and silver mask but at the same time I want something long and sexy"Ivin nodded In agreement without even looking at her..

"do you think I'll steal the show I mean I always do"she is considered as the most beautiful in this company other female employees envy her always making assumptions that the boss made her managing director because he likes her and the fact that ivin's father and her father were friends

"you are coming right?" she said happily hoping Ivin might look at her,she wore this sexy dress today specifically for him she even put heavy makeup with nude lipstick,but he never even bother to look at her ever its like she's nothing in his eyes

"its a must we should go"

Ashley knew by now that the feelings she has for him will never be returned,since she was a kid she has always loved him but he never treated her with love not even when they grew up and got stuck in a tiny wooden house as it was heavily raining they couldn't drive further,even when he saw her naked it didn't make a difference to him

"okay am going to finish my work,see you at the party" she finally said and left with a heavy heart.

Ivin looked up stretching his neck in relaxation "she is beautiful but not my type" that's what he always says whenever chris talks bout him and Ashley being a couple,speaking of chris

"I should call him"he took out his phone and dialed chris"s number after a few rings he picked up..

"what up bro,miss me already"his voice was cheerful as usual..

"masquerade party get ready,be on your best behavior,I'll see you there"he hanged up without bothering to hear chris's reply..

"sir the car is ready"Stan his assistant,trusted me and driver came in and informed him

"is he really sick?"stan nodded,Ivin received a call from his mom saying his father was very ill,everyone knew they didn't get along very much that's why his other brother left home and never came back no matter how many phone calls they give him....

Before he attends some party he had to go and see the old man and hear what he has to say...
