My Dream is "HER"

Chapter 02

Maggie's Pov:

"So cute" She giggled. Gosh, I'm so hot right now and a blush is creeping out I don't think I can stay here again.

"Sorry, I want to use the restroom" I said dropping my coffee and running out without hearing what she had to say. This is so embarrassing both to me and her. I never knew this could happen.

I've been a secret admirer for a long time, she's like an idol to me, being with her in a coffee shop felt so romantic, also the way she giggles made me almost confess my feelings to her.

I first saw her at school, she was on her final year and she always made it to the top, I wanted to be like her and she motivated me to study about technology. My Dad owns the highest technology company, I didn't want to work in a technology company because it seemed boring but her hard work motivated me. Funniest part is that my Dad don't know I work here and he probably still think am unemployed. Thanks to my friend Elsa who helped fabricate my identity which helped in hiding my identity so that I won't be a scandal to my dad's company.

But why did she suddenly want to have coffee with me? Did she find out about my identity? Oh no, I have to tell her the truth, atleast not to fire me or disclosing my identity to the media which will affect my Dad.

People in the company said she's cold but I think she's just putting on act, to make her look cool. I can see it in her eye. Am okay just seeing her happy and I'll do anything to help her progress the company. My love isn't one sided because she's not aware of it, maybe I'll just call it a long time crush.

I've stayed quite long in this restroom since I was waiting for the blush on my face to cool down thinking about my crush.

When I went back to our table, I could only see the Espresso and an empty cup of Latte, I guess she is already gone. Was she angry and embarrassed of me? No, she surely didn't. Did she notice my blush and got disgusted? No she didn't, I got out before the blush creeped out. Did I take too much time? Oh, that might be it.

Ooooouchh! Am so pitiful, I got all excited for nothing, my date just got ruined by me. I sadly called my driver to come pick me up at my location, few minutes later, he arrived and took me back home, he's my personal driver who knows my whereabouts and keep it unknown to my Dad, in other words, he works for me.

When I arrived at our Mansion, everywhere was unusually quiet, it's just workers going in and out. I felt so down walking into the sitting room, I saw my dad eating at the dining. My mom died when I was young and am not really close with my Dad since then, I feel he don't care about me, he only cares about me taking over his company which I don't want to. I want to work hard and live as myself, not living as a billionaire's daughter. That doesn't still change the fact I genuinely care about my Dad and the company.

"Where are you coming from" My dad asked as I walked pass him.

"You don't have to worry, I won't cause any business scandals" I replied.

"Come over for dinner" He requested

"No am fine, thanks" I declined

"Then can i atleast have a discussion with you" He added. He never asked me for a discussion for a while now. I decided to give in. I went over to the table and poured a glass of juice while my dad sent the servants and food servers out.

"I think it's time you take over the company, it's time for me to disclose your identity to the media" My dad said.

What is this old man thinking, does he have amnesia or what, I've made it clear I don't want the company, I just want to live as myself. I didn't talk and was silent for a while

"I know i haven't been the best dad and family to you, but I genuinely care about you, I want to give you and your children a happy life, I know we already talked about this before but you promised to give it thought once you graduate and you're unemployed now, I can easily employ you" He said sounding convincing

I don't really know what to say right now, am much happier working with my crush. Tidal wave technology is everything to my dad, and he will surely choose his company over my happiness so it'll be useless to talk about my happiness, remaining silent is the best solution.

"Do you know My company has competitors now and I really need you" He said as he saw my head facing low

"Is your company really that important, must it really be the top priority, Tidal wave technology has been the best for many years, why else do you fight for being at the top, it's not as if we need money" I finally exploded. I can't take it anymore.

"You probably won't understand Maggie, but am sure you'll understand one day" He replied.

I couldn't take it any longer, I just got up and barged into my room, I locked the door and started crying hugging me pillow. My home seems like a living hell unlike other people. I need something to cheer myself on, I thought about my Boss and my day at work although it got a little ruined.

I need to look for a way to make it up to her, I don't know what she likes to eat but am going to make a special cake recipe for her. It's called a strawberry cake but it's not made of strawberry. It has a very special taste. Someone made it for me the day I lost my mom and gave me the recipe. I didn't know who she was and I can't remember her face, but i have something that might be important to her which I want to return. I went back to the place we met every year to know if I can meet her again but I didn't see her.

I made up my mind to make the strawberry in the morning. I told one of the servant to prepare the ingredient because I want to make it myself. I kept on looking at her pictures on i********: because it made me feel better. I follow all her fan accounts because she doesn't have a personal i********: account, they take pictures of her daily and I always save and use it for my wallpapers. I'm so obsessed!

I got a bit excited after watching few pictures of her and my mood lightened up a bit. I plugged in my earphones and played music till I slept off.

****

It's already morning. I made the cake and took my bath, I applied some makeups. I wore my sky blue shirt and tucked it in with my high waist skirt. I no my dad already left for work, I called my driver and he carried me to work. I always stopped halfway then walk to the company, no one knows how rich i am and am being treated equally.

"Hey Rose" A colleague said walking towards me. It was Lily, we aren't that close.

"Good morning Lily" I smiled to her. What?! a blush creeped out of her face. Was my identity found out and she's trying to impress me? I Ignored her blushing.

"Let's get inside" I said as I walked in before her, I went to my into my sit corner, some people already started working, I just sat down waiting for the C.E.O to come.

A few moments later, I heard some people from the sales departments greeting formally, I guessed she's here already here.

Few moments later, when I was sure she isn't busy, I went to her secretory and requested to meet her. Her secretory told me that she already had plans and I should make an appointment before meeting her. I was so sad and I left. Some moments later, the secretary came and informed me that the C.E.O wants to talk to me. I was so glad and I went to meet her.

When I entered her office with the baggage of the strawberry cake, she was sitting and her front was facing the wall so I could only see the back seat with her blue shirt. Is she avoiding me? Is she still mad at me? Would I be fired? Oh no! I have to apologize.

"Good morning ma'am, I want to apologize for yesterday night's inci....." I said and she turned her chair to face me

"It's okay, am not mad at you, something urgent came up and I had to leave" She said as she stood up."What do you have there"

"Uhm... It's just a cake I made for you, I don't know if you'd like it" I stuttered stretching my hand to give the cake to her. "It's called a strawberry cake but it's not made with a strawberry flavour, you can't find it anywhere in the market" I paused then continued after breathing. "Please make sure you eat it, I made it myself and it will be my pleasure if you do

She looked at me in a shocked way but didn't say anything, I wonder if she even heard me. She slowly reached for the cake and took it.

"It's really you" she said as she closed the bag with a smile.

"Yes it's me, I made the cake" I said scratching the back of my head. yes, am confused, what does she mean by that?

"Let's have another coffee this evening" She requested.Wow, this feels unreal, I can't believe she's asking me out for another date, sorry coffee. I was going to ask her if she didn't ask tho.

"Okay ma'am" I replied smiling. I couldn't hide my excitement any longer. She told me I can go, so I left.

I went back to my desk happily, I saw an envelope which seemed like a letter. I opened it and brought out a note:

Maggie Campbell, am watching you:

I creeped out!
