Immortal love

chapter 3

"ana hurry up, we have to leave of else I'll be late at work" Tracy shouted to ana who was busy upstairs finishing to get ready.

"Am coming!!!" she shouted back

The atmosphere in this house seems more cool than ever between those two sisters as if one of them was never in hospital for panick attack few days ago. They love each other to the point that you will never understand they are not blood related.

finally Ana shows up from upstairs and went to grab some breakfast that her little sister prepare.

"Ohhh god save me,are you still eating instead of grabbing your breakfast and will indulge on the way you are still nursing your ass down and..."

"Jeez,relax b***h we still have five minutes left to spare before you choke and have another panick attack....just two bites I'll be with you shortly"

"But Ana you always do this I have a meeting to attend in the next 30 minutes so you better hurry now am going to get our bags and phones you will find me in the car and don't forget to lock up"

"Okay boss lady " she shouted

Tracy head to the couch and take both their bags and cellphone then head to the black Audi A6 Quattro that she owns and opened the Driver side and get inside while Ana also kept her promise and hurry to lock up their apartment and joined her bestie in the car and they drove off.

On the road,"hey ana I know what am about to say it's a little bit awkward but I had to anyway,so the thing is am...".

"what's his name,where does he work and what does he do for a living?"

she blushed after hearing her big sister jumping to conclusions without even asking.

"for once in your life can you let me speak without you interfering babes?"

"you know what,save those news for tonight I also have some story to tell you and besides now we are about to go to work .... speaking of which,give me the car keys I also need to dash to my work place and see if everything is still in perfect order and I have a bridal gown to design".

"Ohhh please Ana stop talking as if you are employed because you are the owner and your own boss so let "us"(pointing at herself) who are employed go to what we are employed for.

They both laughed while they opened their doors getting out since Tracy is already at her work place parking lot.sisters exchanged hugs then said goodbye to each other then Ana drove off to her company which is only a kilometre and half from her little sister work place when Tracy dashed inside the building.the receptionist gave her the mean look that she always gave her because there is the intern who works with Tracy and she has huge crush on him but he's on to her and he's also crushing on Tracy since her body is too die for. Tracy didn't bother by trying to waste her breath on greeting her instead she went straight to the elevator and tap her floor number then went straight there because her meeting with associates and the owner is about to start in 2 minutes so she decided to go first put her bags in the office then went to the board room where the meeting is being held and to her favour it hasn't started yet which relieved her a little bit then she released a long breath.

Ana arrived to her company and do what she always do ,to design the bridal gowns because she's a clothe designer but she mostly design bridal gowns .After a year after her best friend parents where buried and being rejected by her relatives she decided to be the only support she has and move with her from Durban to Cape town to have a fresh start and forget about her hurtful past even though her parents refused her to because they had dear of their child going to the city she doesn't know and alone but she went ahead with it because of the love she has for her best friend.After a year of settling at Cape town they decided to open a studio together because ana was a gown designer from childhood which she learnt from her mom while Tracy is an architect not by profession but is runs in blood since her father was a great architect back in the days.with the help of each other they managed to save money and build the studio which even in today it is making lot of money for both of them but because Tracy wanted to forget about Everything she quit her passion and love for sketch and settle for new things because she's a fast learner that's why she is the boss right hand.

" my sincere apology to you ladies and gentlemen for delaying the start of the meeting and keep you waiting we may proceed now" the director of the company said while passing the documents he has to his assistant so that they can circulate around the table until everyone get the piece of document.

" I know most of you here are wondering why we have gathered here today,some of you are thinking about retrenchment, others about bonuses and increasement or decreasement of your salaries am I right?".

the whole boardroom went mute but they nod their heads to confirm that that their director is saying is true which made the director to smile a little but soon the smile fades " well so you ladies and gentlemen you need to know that here we are family and family stick together no matter what and yes all your works are protected none of you is getting retrenched it's either we cut few percentage from you salaries to make everyone job still safe and yes you all will get your bonuses according to how well he have worked the whole year".

the whole boardroom was filled with sighs to show relief.

" The issue is on page 3 of the document that you all are having,the thing is we have been suffering for the past two months to make profit in our family and it is threatening the growth of our company, therefore to try and minimise the damage some of shareholders sold their shares and thankfully they didn't spend much on market because someone bought them which makes him the major shareholder,for now the buyer chose to remain anonymous in our company and its a good thing since you'll will be working with your regularly schedule and it will also benefit you from getting lot of bonus at the end of the year...any questions?"

"so Mr director are you sure we won't lose our jobs?" one of the worker asked

"uhmmm am 102% sure that none of you will lose their jobs if you keep doing what you get paid for ...any other questions?".

"so Mr director is our "new boss" married or...?" Jane asked which left the board room filled with laughter

"oh what guys why are you laughing at me,am just asking arh so that "us" single ladies may get chance to score and be in good books of our new boss "

" you know what....if there is no more questions to ask you guys may go back to your works and do what you get paid for and as for you Jane you will be in good books with the boss is you keep doing what you get paid for, and thank you for your time this meeting is adjourned till further notice.

everyone stand up from their chairs and head straight to their department of work doing what they get paid for

"Boss the purchase of those shares was successful now you are the major share holder"

he was glued to his laptop at work and only attend to his pA without shifting the look on the screen.

" Thank you Austin you are the life saver so what's next?"

"I was thinking if I should book the appointment for you to announce that you are the new boss and get to know the workers fully"

"No that won't do,let me run it anonymously for two months then I will show up later now I want them to work very hard without knowing who is in charge that way we will be able to eliminate rotten tomatoes between them".

"Ohhh sounds like a plan,if there is nothing more may I go?"

It was the first time since Austin come that the boss closed the screen and look at him

" one thing Austin,am thinking of leaving for the week to Underworld and you will be the acting CEO on my absence"

Austin sat down trying to listen to the bomb that has released to his ears

"Jason you want to tell me that you are leaving for a week what will you be doing there ?"

"Well there are some answers that I need from our grandma so I better make it hurry"

"Ohhh is this about that girl who haunt your nightmares?"

"yes it's about her ,lot we will discuss when I came back brother"

"so when are you leaving?"

" in an hour"

"you see Jase the day that I will get that girl in my hands I will reap her apart with my bare hands and feed her flesh to the wolves for troubling you"

Jason chuckled not believing the joke his brother pose.

"you know you are not funny...an trying to help you here"

" Don't worry Austin I didn't ask for your opinion you know...if you don't have anything more to say get back to work there are few things that I need to complete before i leave"

Austin stand up sulking " but you are not fair brother"

"Good bye Austin..." Jason shouted to the door that was banged while closed not believing how drama queen his younger brother can be.

after an hour he went to the airport and land to Russia his place of origin and went straight to the cave where they live and their families where everything is mage of gold. that's where they call underground.

after work hours Ana went to fetch his sister at work and they pass through market to buy some vegetables and head straight home. Tracy went to clean while Ana choose to cook since Tracy almost burn down the whole kitchen. Both sisters did their chore then went to bath and watch titanic movie sitting together in one couch.

"you were to tell me something in the morning what is it?"

"Ohhh you never forget hey,I will tell you but fi...r...st why don't you tell me those funny stories you wanted to tell me"

"you promise to tell me after I tell you my boring story?"

" yes Ana I will tell you and you should know better that I keep my promise than someone i won't mention here"

they both chuckled to what Tracy said.

"ok...ok... fine we know you are talking about me so fine I won't tell you". ana did that sad face that can melt one coldness.

" you look pretty when you are angry sis" Tracy mocked her.

"mmmmhhhh"

"so even after I've complimented you that you look pretty you won't tell me or you want me to...?"

"fine I will tell you"

"am all ears big sis"

"eish you love news too much but anyway the thing is that day that I came back and find you burning down our kitchen,when i was away I bumped into this guy he is all handsome gosh,his lips his muscles ohh girl he looks like a Greek god,his handsome is beyond of this world am telling you,I closed my eyes and blinked twice to confirm that it's not my imagination but my girl I wasn't imagining anything indeed he was walking to my direction and guess what I did"

"what did you do?"

"I pretended to be in pain...."

"b***h what did you do?"

they both laughed

"Don't pretend to be a saint,you should have seen him and you would know what am talking about.. yooh babe that guy is to die for and you know his voice is a wow,you should have heard him when he said "sorry you Will be fine miss" and I was like gosh this isn't happening to me"

"Did you get his numbers maybe?"

" no eish the dude was in a hurry b***h how could i have asked for his number? and besides I don't want him to think of me in other way am not that desperate for him...but if given a chance I would f**k him my girl" she chuckled after saying that knowing that she's being insane now but who could blame her the guy is handsome and breathtaking.

"b***h" they both laughed their lungs out after what innocent Tracy said. in no time her mind went to her stranger whom she met from nightmares to reality and that upset her even more. immediately she dismissed the thought of stranger and chose to focus on her best friend and her madness just to keep her mind off everything about her life.

"so tell me what is it that you wanted to say in the morning?"

"Ohhh that" she looked down with the voice of disappointment

"what ,what did you do and you promised that you will tell me after I told you my boring story"

"I was thinking of moving out"

"WHAAAAATTTTTTTT???, wait ...are you kidding me?"

Ana was shocked by the bomb that Tracy splashed on her face and couldn't believe it. Tracy shifted a little bit from where she was sitting and sat still playing with her fingers

"No am not kidding you and besides I didn't say am moving out I said am thinking of moving out"

" but why Tracy,do I bother you or do I make something that upset you if I do please let me know then I will apologize please just don't leave me alone please"

Tracy went to hold her hands to calm her down because now ana was getting hurt

"Hey hey ... you didn't do anything okay we both are adults and we do need our own privacy,am not leaving you or abandoning you am just looking to have a place i can call my own and I will always visit you or even do sleep over during weekends but please let me move out big sister,I know you are also concerned about my safety and about my nightmares but I have to face them just allow me please"

"is there a "he" behind this?"

"no there isn't i would have told you"

"ok we'll still discuss this"

"thank you sis"

because it was already late they decided to eat and head to their bedrooms since tomorrow they still have to go to work.
