I was having a difficult time at work and I think it going to get worse. I just lost the Russian investors and it all because of my stupid secretary. That i***t couldn't do his work appropriately.
I sat down on my chair and rested my head on the cool edge. Today was mess, loosing a lot of money because a stupid mistake is what I can't tolerate.
My office door was pulled opened and my secretary came in.
"Sir...." She wanted to apologize but I raise my palm to keep her from going further.
"You fired."That was what I had to say.
She knows better than to saying anything, she turned and left my office.
"f*****g bitch." I see the.
My door was pulled open and this time it was Leo.
He walked to my desk and sat down.
"I heard what happened." He said calmly. "So I guess you don't have a secretary now or a personal assistant."
I fired my personal assistant last month and now it my secretary.
"I don't tolerate incompetent and stupidity." I said angrily.
"Yeah I know that." He said without hesitation. "We should go out have lunch together."
"Am not hungry." I refused blankly.
"Okay, but we could go together. Hey, am not taking no for an answer and I would report you to your mother if you skip lunch."
"She is not my mother."
"But she loves you like her son." He said. "Come on, am staving already or do you want to me in your office for the next three hours, because I don't have any important meetings until after three hours."
Yeah that not happening.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
He smiled traumphantly. "Let go have desert."
I drew my brows. "Not a restaurant."
"It a restaurant." He paused. "I met a chick at the restaurant yesterday morning when I went to get coffee. The chic works there and she f*****g hot." He chuckled. "You got see her."
"You want us to go eat desert because of chic you think his hot?"I asked.
"I don't think she is hot, she is hot." He pointed out. "And you said you not hungry."
I didn't say anything. He was doing all this because of a chic he want to get under her pant. I just want to know where this get him, probably a night stand with the lady and dump her the next morning.
"Can we go now." He said as he stood up.
"Go ahead, I will meet you outside." I said.
He smirked. "Don't take long." He turned and walked out of my office.
I watched after him as he left my office.
I breathed out. I stood up and my car key from my desk.
"This better be worth it." I murmured as I walked out of my office.

"Hey, here's table five pay cheques." I handed Camy the money, she was the cashier at the restaurant.
"Okay." She took it form me.
I went to meet the others when they stood staring at a particular customer. I wonder what interest them about the customer.
"Hey guys, what you looking at?" I asked.
"Ohh Shelley predicted an engagement at table seven. Eva said she kept on watching them closely.
I glance at table seven. Two couples sat down opposite each other enjoying their desert. Nothing unusual was happening. They did few talking and kept on eating.
"Hmm, just normal couple enjoy their desert. We that everyday." I said. "Did he ask you to put a ring in her cake."
Erika shook her head. "Just the usual order."
"Is it obvious the guy is acting weird?"Shelley asked.
We stared closely for some seconds, trying to figure how it seems weird to eat desert with the one you love.
Eva shook her slowly." Nope, not getting that vibe."
"Me either." Erika said.
"Also not me." I confirmed.
"What?" Shelley wailed.
"What are you girls doing?" Mitch, the guy who handles the dilevery asked.
"Nothing." Shelley said and walked away.
"Shelley think the couple at table seven would get engaged."
"What? Really?"He walked closer to see them." Wow, they sure do look like they are in love. "
" Yeah they do." I said.
Erika breathed as she drool over the guy."Such a cutie."
"Hey, he is has a girlfriend." I pointed out the obvious.
"I know, I can that." Erika said as she withdrew from the others. "If what Shelley said would happen, that would be a good thing." she sighed. "I wish that how mine should go."
Eva glance at her and shook her head.
I smiled. Erika is the only girl I know that get the girl she wants but doesn't seem to keep a relationship. She gets bored of easily, then she dumped them.
Eva and I tried to talk her into trying to keep a relationship but she keeps on refusing to do that.
"That is only if you let them." I said.
"How long would it take them do that?" She asked boringly.
"At least not three months."I replied. That the maximum months Erika has ever dated a guy without breaking up with him, and when it three months she just end things with him like she never wanted the relationship.
"This guy would have taken more than three months to decide if he really want this lady to be his wife." Eva added. "And you can't wait that long for a guy to decide that."
Erika sighed. "You both should talk about yourselves."
"I have kids, there nothing better than that." I admitted before she could say anything.
"And I have a boyfriend." Eva said.
Erika raised a brow. "That leaves in Spain."
"I get turned on by guys with Spanish accent." Eva admitted proudly.
I chuckled. Eva was really serious with dating or getting married to guy who has the accent she likes. It was a thing she figured out in college when she slept with a Spanish guy.
"Okay, let leave that couple alone now. If he wants to engage his girlfriend, he wouldn't do it with people staring at him."I said.
"I really want to see where this end." Mitch said as he walked away.
The restaurant door rang.
"Ohh we have a customer." Eva announced.
Erika and I stood up to check who it was. And there goes two men who walked into the restaurant.
"OMG." Erika said surprisingly.
