Chapter 19; Finally you are back ?

" You must be missing her." Canary ruminated.

" I could have but you know I got used to staying alone with company from a few friends." She said.

Canary stopped waking when she turned to look at him.

" What is it ?" Camilla asked looking up at him reddening while she pulled the strands of her hair at the back of her hair gorgeously.

He moved close and grabbed her waist pulling her so close to him and she laughed softly.

" You are so beautiful" He said moving closer to her lips.

She closed her eyes and waited for him to kiss her. Before his lips reached hers he first stared at her attractive appearance and he smiled.

He finally kissed her lips Wildy pushing his tongue inside her mouth to venture the sweetness and pleasure from her insides. She kissed him back with the same pace for a moment until he slowed it and gave her small nibble and lastly pecks.

He pulled away from the kiss and cupped her face with gratificated look.

" Good night Camilla. I must leave." He said huskily that his voice echoed in her ears.

" Good night too." She resorted in a soft voice.

After releasing her he gave a soft smile and walked away.

She turned and watched him walk away. She was expecting him to turn back and look at her but he didn't walked straight to his car and drove off without another look.

" Canary, Why do play hard to get ? Can't you confess your love already ?" She asked herself with a little disappointment before going away.

——

When Canary arrived back to the Mansion Lucy was having dinner with Ketra already.

It was around 10pm late for their normal meal time. When Ketra saw him she went to welcome him with a big smile.

" Welcome back home." She spoke to him.

" Thanks." He smiled but when he saw Lucy who didn't welcome him back as usual his smile faded.

" Mom, Good evening." He said to a word from her.

" Why are you home late ?" She asked with her cold expression.

" it was a long day as you know. What happened to my assistant and…." He was still trying to add up the story when Lucy cut him midway.

" Mr Smith called and said everything is settled already. I am curious if that's why you are late today." Lucy said.

" You know the Pearls show is there this Friday. So you know that I was busy with the preparations too." He said and sat at the chair besides her.

Ketra begun preparing his dishes for food.

" Canary..!.." Lucy raised her voice at him which scared Ketra herself too.

" I know you were with Camilla. Can't you just admit ?" She asked bitterly.

" She just took me for dinner." He answered.

" Was it all about dinner ?" Lucy asked.

" Yes, And it was nothing more." Canary agreed.

" Mom, Don't be angry. She just took me as a co worker." He spoke to prove the point.

Lucy just shook her head and got up.

" I am done eating. Good night." She said and left without another word.

Canary was perplexed by his mother's behavior today.

" Granny, Did I do anything wrong ?" Canary asked a Ketra once Lucy was fully gone.

Ketra sat back in her spot. " Canary, She is worried about you. At this time you must careful with eveything you do." Ketra said.

" It was just dinner." Canary insisted.

" Your Mom doesn't want you to go back to your ways of playing around with women. She fears it might affect your position in the company right now. So, You better watch out." Ketra warned him.

Canary sighed and then got up. " I am full. Good night." He said.

" Sit down !" Ketra commanded which almost startled him.

" What is it ?" He asked.

" Take a glass of juice before you sleep." Ketra said.

Canary smiled and gulped it down.

" Happy ?" He asked.

" Good job" Ketra said with care and pinched his nose which made him groan in pain.

After he smiled at her and said " Good night."

" Good night too."

Canary went to his room after that. He loved Ketra so much because when he was a kid she spent most of the time taking care of him since his parents were always busy.

Sometimes he called him and Ketra or Granny or Aunty all depending on his mood.

***

The following day, Lisa got up early to head for work again. She had decided to resume with work after reading through the letter.

To her she was now going back because the Company called her back not because Canary asked her to.

She put on her white over shirt , jeans and simple sneakers.

" Oh my , Now I have to carry my stuff back !" She cursed but had no other choice but to take them with her back to the Company.

——

Work was resuming normally at the Company.

Canary sat in his office waiting for Lisa impatiently. He knew she must have Tevo the letter after his discussion with Mr Smith. He had showed him the designs which he was pleased with so the letter called her to come and work as a designer this time.

He still had the notebook with him.

He was still like that when the door finally knocked.

" Come inside !" He said.

Lisa at last came with her box and put it on her desk. After she turned to look at him angrily.

He got up and smiled.

" Finally, You are back ?" He asked walking to her.

He was in a blue shirt well tucked in black pants and loafers looking smart and dangerously handsome as usual.

The first two buttons of the shirt were untied and one could see part of his muscular chest if concertanted even though it could still be seen by the tightness of the shirt on him.

" Give me back my notebook." Lisa said.

He was actually holding it in his hands.

" This ?" He showed Ulithi to her.

She moved closer to pick it but he immediately raised his arm with it so high that she could never reach with her shortness.

" Hi, I want my notebook back." She raised her voice.

" Then be polite with me. You haven't even said good morning." He reminded her while he moved backwards from her.

" Why should I ?" She asked stubbornly as she begun to move closer to him.

" Give me by book !" She shouted again and begun jumping to his height but he kept on moving backwards until the sofa from the parlor stopped him.

" Hi…" She was still yelling and moving closer when he suddenly stopped moving because of the chair.

In that attempt she found herself jumping into his arms.
