Chapter 59; Who is Regina

She said to herself and gave a smile.

As she was there one of the outstanding men from the crowd approached her, he was none other than Mr.Johnson.

On seeing him Lisa composed herself.

" Mr Johnson, You are here ?" She asked surprised to see him.

" I couldn't miss to see the wonderful designs myself." He spoke.

" That's great. Maybe after seeing them you will agree to sign the contract." Lisa said naively.

" I guess. But my refusal wasn't because I didn't like the designs." He lushed out.

" Then..Why would you refuse to work with your company ?" Lisa asked.

Johnson heaved a sigh and said. " I asked Canary a question to see if he cares about his workers. Surprisingly he passed the test." Johnson said,

" What do you mean ?" Lisa asked confused.

Johnson smiled. " Don't mind. Since he passed the test, I will obviously arrange to you meet again and sign the contract." He promised.

" Really ?" Lisa grinned happy to hear this news.

Canary who had been moving and checking on the guests hand in hand with his date for the night noticed Lisa smiling with Johnson and excused himself immediately.

Lisa was still smiling when she noticed Canary waking over to them.

" There he comes, I guess you can re arrange." Lisa said.

As Canary approached them he look became colder.

" Welcome to my Launch Mr. Johnson." Canary said giving him his hand for a handshake.

" Thank you." Johnson simply answered.

" Canary, Mr. Johnson just told me that he will re arrange the appointment. Then the contract can be signed." Lisa declared with exitement.

" Really ?" Canary asked stunned.

" Yes, I thought about it." Mr.Johnson said.

" Lisa, Give us a moment !" Canary first chased Lisa. She made a low bow before both of them and then left.

" You don't look happy. Aren't you supposed to jubilate that I am offering the contract ?" Johnson asked.

Canary smirked. " That's good news indeed. But I wonder, What changed your mind ?" Canary asked.

" It's nothing at all." Johnson.

" Let me hope that the talk you are from having with Lisa was a clean one. Otherwise if you tricked her into doing anything with you I won't forgive you." Canary swore.

Johnson smiled. " Did she look like I said anything bad to her ?" He asked.

Canary didn't respond.

" Anyway, Yesterday I only asked you to give me Lisa for a night to test if you value your employees more than deals. And the good news is that you passed the test." Johnson said,

Canary couldn't believe this. This guy had really tricked him.

" So, All you said yesterday. You were playing on my mind. Right ?" Canary asked.

" You could say so. But I hope it made you realize something you didn't know." Johnson mattered.

" What are you meaning now ?" Canary asked,

Johnson smiled and said," oops ! Seems you haven't realized. Sorry for you." Johnson walked away after this.

What's wrong with him ? Canary asked.

The launch went on very well as she show casing was done, Canary gave his speech so well which seemed to please everyone that had attended.

After the whole agenda the was music, interactions , drinking and eating.

Everyone joined what pleased them. When Canary was finally free from the guests he looked around to trace for Lisa.

She was there seated with Ryan and Marcus. Canary had had no idea they Halas attended.

He was approaching them when the lady he had been with came back.

" Canary, Come and we have a dance." She held his hand and led him to the dance floor before he could say anything.

They joined the other couples that were dancing to Gmthe slow music already.

" Wow, Who is that beautiful lady Canary has been with today ?" Marcus asked.

This forced Lisa to look at the dance floor and she spotted them.

" Have you forgotten. She's Isabella. We studied with her." Ryan said.

" Ooh, Being handsome is good. Canary gets all the beautiful women he wants." Marcus cried.

Lisa kept silent but she was hearing them.

" What else would he do. It's Regina's fault. If she had not cheated on him he wouldn't have become a player as he is." Ryan said.

When Lisa heard this it caught her attention.

" Who is Regina ?" She asked.

" Regina is Canary's ex girlfriend. The first and last woman he truly loved." Ryan whispered.

" What happened between them ?" Lisa asked.

" We all don't know what exactly happened. But ever since Canary broke up with Regina, He has never settled in a relationship. God knows what Regina did to him." Marcus explained.

This was new to Lisa. So Canary really loved someone.

" Ooh, You have reminded me of Regina. I also had a crush on her." Ryan muttered.

" Stop talking your nonsense. We all knew she could only date Canary because he was more handsome than all of us." Marcus said.

" Stop annoying me." Ryan said and turned to Lisa

" Is it okay if I have a dance with you" He asked.

" Huh, Really ?" Lisa asked and got up.

She went to dance floor with him and as he held her waist she put her arms around his shoulders.

" Is it done like this ?" She asked,

" Yes. If feels good." Ryan said.

They begun dancing slowly to the music.

Canary was also busy in the dance when he saw Lisa dancing with Ryan and she had a smile all over her face.

He observed the way Ryan held Lisa's waist and felt some kind of jealousy.

As if Lisa sensed someone staring at her when she raised her head her eyes met with Canary's and she felt a spark within.

She had decided to ignore him and enjoy the night but now he was still haunting her. Why was he staring at her now.

She also observed the way he held his partner's waist and felt a pang of jeolous and decided to look up at Ryan's friendly face again.

Canary's gaze remained fixed on her until his partner noticed that he wasn't attentive.

" Canary.." She called him.

" Ay…Yes.." She just came back to reality.

" You look distracted." The beautiful lady said turning around to see what Canary had been staring at but Canary stopped her.

" Don't mind. Let's continue with our dance." He said,

Lisa and Ryan were still dancing when Lisa suddenly stopped.

" What's wrong ?" Ryan asked as Lisa removed her arms from his shoulders.

" Tonight is my last in London, I would like to go outside and view the city one more last time" She said.

" Sure, I will take you to the rooftop then."

" Thanks.." Lisa said and they left together.

Canary saw them leave the hall and got the urge to follow them.

" Isabella, I need to excuse myself." He said and went after them.

Ryan and Lisa stood at the balcony and Lisa enjoyed the cold fresh air and night view of the city.

When Canary reached and saw them he stood behind one of the pillars where they couldn't see him.

" It's beautiful isn't ?" Lisa asked Ryan.

" I may say so. But you know this is my home. I am used." Ryan said.

" So, Do you normally visit Annertoz?" Lisa asked,

" Truthfully, I have never been there. But I studied with most people from there… you know Canary and his other friends." Said Ryan.

" Ooh, I see." Lisa.

" Sometimes I wonder how you ended up being Canary's assistant. It must be hard for you." Ryan said.

" Why do you think so ?" Lisa asked.

" sometimes it might irritating seeing him with different women everyday. As a girl, it might affect you in one way or another " Ryan said,

Canary was hearing their conversation.
