Chapter 33: Take me for a movie

Lisa put the file on the desk with a doubtful look on her face.

Canary continued reading the files opening page by page.

" .. I am…" Lisa stammered trying to say something.

This forced him to look up at her.

" What is it ?" He asked.

" I actually didn't know that you are one who took me home after the party. I'm really grateful." She said.

Canary pouted his lips with a nod and said.

" Seems like your brain has worked well for the first time." Canary platters.

Lisa couldn't believe this belittling.

" You ?.." She asked angrily but remembered that she had to keep calm.

" What ?" He asked putting the files down and got up from his chair.

He walked over to her slowly and sat at the edge of the desk just before her.

" Aren't you scared that something happened that day ?" He asked giving her a seductive look that made her look away immediately.

" ..Why..why.. should I think like that ?" She asked but inside she also wondered if nothing had really happened.

Not the way she knew him.

He got up right and said.

" Now I guess you demanding me twice. You took me home that night and also bought lunch yesterday. I will surely pay back." She vowed.

Canary shook his head again not believing her persistence.

" How about I give you a better option of paying me back ?" He asked.

Lisa swallowed hard and gazed at him.

" Which option ?" She asked.

He got up and starting walking towards her in short slow steps.

" How about we…?"

Lisa saw this and begun moving backwards in confusion of what he wanted.

She swallowed hard as she moved backwards to the wall.

" What do you mean we ?" She asked moving back carefully making sure that there was a distance between them.

"..I mean.. You and I .." As she this Lisa's moved we're stopped by the wall and and Canary got this chance to move closer and before she could do anything he put both his arms on the wall trapping Lisa inside

This made Lisa's heart skip a beat for a reason she suddenly didn't know.

" We should …." Before he could complete what he was saying Lisa pushed him away and moved away from the wall.

" Don't think of anything like that. I'm leaving.." She said rushing to the door.

Canary smiled not believing that he had made her react like this.

" I was just saying that we should go for a movie.." He declared before she could open the door.

Lisa stopped what she was doing and turned to face him again.

Canary nonchalantly went back to his seat and said.

" I heard there was a discount at the Movieaxis Cinema. If you take me for a movie, Then that will be enough to pay back." He said.

" Really, Just a movie and that's all ?" He asked.

" Mm" he nodded.

" Okay then..I will take you." She agreed with relief.

At least he didn't ask for her body.

" Okay, It's today at 6pm. Make sure you finish the work in time." He said.

" Fine then, I will go.." She said and finally left the office.

As soon as she was out she put her hand on her chest on remembering how heart had skipped a beat earlier.

' What suddenly happened to me ? Am I alright ?' She was asking herself innery when saw Camilla coming towards her.

She removed her hand and her chest.

" Good morning Ms Camilla.." She greeted with a low bow.

"Lisa, Is it you ?" Camilla asked after observing her face.

" Mm" Lisa mumbled and was about to go when Camilla said.

" You are Canary's assistant, Aren't you ?" Camilla asked.

" I was but I was transferred to the designing team." Lisa answered.

" Ooh , I see." Camilla nodded.

Lisa kept silent and just looked at Camilla who looked like she had more to say.

Camilla smiled and said. " ooh , Sorry for bothering you. I will continue.." she said and walked away.

Lisa also continued after this and she didn't mind much about it.

Later in the evening, Lisa checked on her phone that was showing 5:45 already. Most of the workers were leaving but she remained seated.

" Lisa, Everyone else has gone. Why aren't you leaving yet ?" Nicky asked with concern.

" I'm actually, I'm supposed to meet someone." Lisa said.

" Really ? Is he or she from the Company ?" Nicky asked.

" Well, I would say so."

" Hmm" Nicky smiled with Suspence.

" Is he a man, Are you dating someone already ?" She asked.

" No not really. I am not dating anyone nor am I going for a date." Lisa denied immediately.

" Then I will wait with you." Nicky spoke getting a seat but Lisa stopped her.

" No need no need. You go home." Lisa refused.

" Okay then." Nicky smiled and left.

Lisa was now in the Office alone and she sat there thoughtfully.

' But is what I am doing right ? Should I trust that jerk ?'

She asked herself.

'But he apologized for all the trouble he caused me and we agreed to be friends. I shouldn't fear him.'

Her other inner voice said and then she checked again to find that it was now 5:55.

" Why is he taking long ?"

She had just spoke out loud when she heard a voice.

" Don't you know that a CEO is always busy ?"

On realizing Canary was there and he had just heard her.

She got up immediately. " When did you reach here ?" She asked with embrassement.

" Is that a question to ask ?"

" It's getting late. Let's go !" She said to change the topic and walked away before him.

They went together to the parking it was obvious they were going to use his car.

While they got inside at the same time Camilla was also leaving with her friend Lyton.

Lyton saw them first and tapped Camilla.

" Milla, Isn't that Canary and the assistant ?" Lyton asked.

Camilla looked there and saw them drive off.

' Where is he going with her at this time ?'

Camilla asked herself innery but Lyton was waiting for the response.

" I am.. I guess they are going for a business work." Camilla answered.

She had not told Lyton about the breakup yet.

" Oh, I thought that he was cheating on you. By the way, Did you talk about what he did to you on the party ?" Lyton asked.

Remembering this Camilla felt a spear in her heart.
