Even if: This is love

Chapter two.

Look at the files here, sorry I brought them late. Alora said to Mrs. Dorcas and Mrs. Fletcher. It's OK, no problem. Mrs. Fletcher, who was Alora's Aunt, said to her. The most important thing was that you were able to find it there. Cus I thought I had left it in the office. Mrs. Dorcas said to Alora and her aunt.

Finding the file wasn't the reason why I took time to bring it. Alora said firmly. So, why did you take time? Mrs. Dorcas asked, has, her eyes were fixed on her laptop because she was working on some project.

Well, I fell cuz someone startled me, then the files fell on the floor too. Alora said, looking to see if she could spot Henry. Who is the someone you saw that startled you? Mrs. Fletcher asked her, looking at her as if she was talking about some intruder, as we all know business people usually have enemies, so, Mrs. Fletcher and Dorcas stared at her thinking it was one of their enemies that Alora was talking about.

No, it is not what you are thinking. The person that startled me talked as if he stays here. Alora said quickly. Ohh, are you talking about Henry? Mrs Dorcas asked as she smiled.

Well, whatever his name is, he is the worst, Alora said to herself and rolled her eyes. What did you say? Mrs. Dorcas asked her, as she was showing Mrs. Fletcher somethings in the file.

No, was just asking who he was, as I had never seen him before. Alora said convincingly. He is Mrs. Dorcas son Alora's aunt said to her. Step-son Mrs. Dorcas said and smiled. You know I often wish he was like you because the majority of the time he shows unseriousness in the things he does. She added.

Yooo.... what's popping here, Henry said as he placed his hand on Alora's shoulders as if they were both hitting it off on the friendship train. Hmm... Alora took a deep breath and shifted away, meaning that she didn't want stress or trouble from anyone, especially him.

He gave an "Oh well" sigh to the way Alora reacted when he touched her and said," Anyways, mom am out, I want to see a friend of mine". I thought you just arrived? Mrs. Dorcas inquired. Yes, I know, but it is urgent, he said.

Ohh now I see why you wished he was more like me, Alora said scarcastically, trying to upset him as payback. Yes, my dear, now you understand. Be more like her, understanding, serious and focused, his mom said to him.

Mom, not cool. Why are you praising her like she has done or said something amazing?

Maybe it's because I did. If you were more like me you would have understood, but no. Alora said, upsetting Henry for fun.

Excuse me, Henry said, trying to digest the nonsense Alora just said.

Well, you are excused. Alora said bossily, and sat down. Ma'am, I think I'm already making an impact on him. She pointed out to Mrs. Dorcas.

Ohhh really, you think you are making an impact. Look young lady, you can't even,,, impact yourself to think well, so, I can understand why you speak nonsense. Henry said, feeling offended by her words.

Watch your tongue, Alora said as she stood up angrily? and faced Henry, looking at him straight in the eyes as if she feared nothing.

You know I kinda like getting on your nerves cuz I'm able to get that lovely look from you and it warms my heart a lot, Henry said dramatically, and then gave her a stern look.

If so, it is because your manners are lost. That is why. She said to him, feeling royal of herself.

I like your attitude, it's neat, he said to her and smirked ?like he was in love with her or maybe fooling her with his statement, or rather trying to get on her nerves, and he left.

Henry!! his mom called. Bye mom, later. He shouted, feeling joyed as he exists the place.

"Arrrgg......??? I hate his attitude. No, I despise it. What the heck does he think of himself?" Alora said angrily as she walked out.

Hey! Alora, where are you going? Her aunt questioned.

Aunt, please, I will be back shortly. I want to go ..... and...... reset my brain. I would be back shortly, she said, and left.

^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^

I have never seen Alora this pissed off before. Mrs Dorcas pointed out as she took a break from what she was doing and tried to reason out her thought of the scene that happened with Mrs. Fletcher Alora's aunt.

Same here. Mrs Fletcher agreed with her. Alora is always so corporate and well behaved, everything she thinks and does is business ever since her mom passed away.

Yeah you are right on that. I think I like this Alora, who is able to express her emotions that are outside business but rather what she actually feels. Mrs Dorcas said again.

I think she feels something else and she doesn't want to say. Or what do you think? Mrs. Fletcher said to her.

Yeah, I even felt the same too. Maybe it is because of Henry. I mean if you analyze it well, both of them are two different people and their perspectives and ways of seeing and viewing things are also different. And in a way it seems interesting.

Just take a look at Alora. She is always well behaved and very business-minded. She cracks deals like a pro and smile less, she is well cultured and she takes principles seriously, she is very good in business and she's yet to graduate from college. Now take a glance at Henry. He is free spirited. He leaves life on the edge and he is willing to take any risk to get what he wants. He is smart, no doubt about that, but he is more.... hmmm.....? how should I put it? Mrs Dorcas paused, thinking of what would be perfect to complete her statement.

Been unserious about the majority of things but yet understanding when it comes to life aspects? Mrs Fletcher suggested finishing up her statement.

Exactly! And Henry understands the rhythm of music and Alora is the opposite. In fact, to her music is a distraction. Henry loves to throw challenges and Alora, on the other hand, proves to be very challengeful and always up to the task. Hmmmmm...............??? Mrs Dorcas said, and went in, on deep thoughts.

Dorcas, what do you think? Mrs. Fletcher asked, curiously to know what was in her mind.

I am thinking we should go on a vacation. She replied with a bright smile?.

Vacation? How does that help? Mrs. Feltcher asked, as she was lost not getting or understanding her point.

Yes, a vacation. I say so because I want us to get to analyze this more. And i know that Alora would most definitely not want to talk to or even stay around Henry after today. So a vacation would be needed for this. Mrs Dorcas said, feeling confident about her plan.

Nice plan, but you know Alora wouldn't want to go for a vacation, Mrs. Fletcher added.

Yes, I know, but we would need to convince her to go. So, I'm think that the meetings we have this month we can shift to our other branch, so in that way, Alora won't refuse to want to come. Henry is not a problem. He loves things like that a lot.

Wow!? the plan is good. Mrs Fletcher said. With both of them together, they would get to know each other more and I'm sure that there would be more to it.
