Strangest dream

Lucas

"Boss, he's here" my assistant Gray, comes in to inform me

" let him in" he nods and opens the door to a young man who looks like he's in his late twenties.

" Boss" he bows slightly with a sly smile." I understand you have a job for me"

Gray hands him the file and instructs him on what to do.

" A woman? I've never worked with a woman before. This should be fun" Damien says and looks at me. When he realizes no one finds his joke funny he puts on a serious face.

" you'll be her chaffuer and bodyguard. Take her anywhere she wants to go and make sure she's secured. If she needs anything inform Gray and I will be notified. You can leave" I say while closely looking at him. I don't work idiots who do not know how to go about ther jobs and I needed him to know that.

" yes boss." He nods and turns to leave

" what time is my flight" I turn to Gray.

" 30 minutes from now boss" he says while maintaining eye contact.

"Get my files with you. I will look them up on our way" I rise up from my seat and move towards the presidential elevator.

My mind wanders around this new woman who has maneuvered her way into my life.

When dad brought up the whole supportive partner issue I thought I could just ignore it until he got tired. Turns out he had other plans, which included seizing my projects.

He knew I need access to the projects to prove my worth to the major shareholders.

If I am going to take up his position, I needed to prove that I am worthy. I had to get a woman because I have no plans of dating for love and all that.

I think I don't have to look any further since the right candidate presented herself even without knowing. After that night I didn't bother to ask of her or call. I knew she would and I was almost losing hope until she called,three days after. With my busy work schedule I doubt I can make time for her that's why I didn't hesitate on putting her on my business trip. If I'm going to convince her to help, I would have to start sooner than later.

The drive to the airport is a short one so we get there in no time with 20 minutes left for take off.

" make sure she gets here on time and bring her in when she does. " I leave without waiting for any response. My flight is 11 hours and so I want to get some rest.

My files are arranged on my cabin desk when I get in and my work instincts soon kick in. I take a seat and grab one large file immediately going over it. Im halfway through when Gray enters with a woman behind her.

" Here, miss" he directs her inside and greets me. Maricela walks from behind him and nods, looking at me .

" Mr Cielo" she says with a decent smile.

" Miss Keegan, how have you been" I nod and have Gray direct her towards her seat which is on the other side though we weren't far apart.

" I'm well thank you. I hope you are too" she takes her seat and plants her bag on her lap.

" I am." Gray moves out to start the engines. In a matter of few minutes we take off.

Since I'm busy with my files I'm in no position to maintain a conversation with her. I tell her to inform me incase of any needs she might have and get back work.

....

I get tired after almost 5 hours and look over to her side. She's fast asleep with her hands all over her body.

" she might be cold" I grab the nearest blanket and walk towards her side. After I carefully cover her up she turns to snuggle a bit more accidentally removing the covers.

I cover her again but I guess I'm not careful this time.

" Lucas?"

"Shhh it's alright, go to sleep" I pat her gently while she nods and yawns.

" you should sleep too" she holds out her hand looking at me with her sleepy eyes that are barely open. I hold her hand and continue patting her hair. She falls asleep again.

By the time I Fall asleep it's about 3hrs to get to Paris. I don't mind though, I barely sleep.

📍Paris, France.

Maricela

I had the strangest dream ever. I guess that's what wakes me up. I stretch so hard I can hear my bones snap.

"Easy there. I wouldn't want to be framed for murder" His voice brings me back to reality, making me remember where exactly I'm at.

This is so embarrassing. Goddd Mari, you are such a ...

I clear my throat and greet him good morning.

He nods and asks how I slept.

" I slept fine, except I had this weird dream" I murmur to myself.

"Care to share"

he heard thattt

he looks up from his files into my eyes.

"It's not really important. Besides I don't think i remember it" I let out a nervous laugh and try to act like it's nothing.

" Sure , I don't mind listening in case you remember" he says and looks back into his files. I think he smiled, just a little.

"Ohhkay" I didn't see that coming.

After we are done at the airport, a young man who looks a bit Korean walks to our direction.

He slightly bows before Lucas before coming to me.

" This is Damien. He'll drive and protect you while you're here. If you need anything let him know, I will be informed."

" okay" I say and look at the man standing before me. We might get along.

" I have to go"

"When will we go out" Damien and the assistant whom I suppose should be Gray are surprised at my question. I guess Lucas hasn't really mentioned me to them.

" I will let you know, have a safe drive" he says

"You too and good luck with your meetings" I smile a bit. I couldn't think of any other way to express my gratitude.

He says thank you to me and asks Damien to make sure he's near me always.

afterwards he leaves. My bags are packed into the car and we leave for my hotel.
