Chapter Two
(Meet the CEOs son) Kayla's pov
Finally I got there and I used my id to open the door and got in I was really close to the cabinets for keeping the files and I heard “hey!" I was so startled that I dropped everything in my hand and they got scattered all over the floor, “ what the hell......" I yelled as I held my chest in fright “im so sorry I didn't mean to startled you" a barritone voice said as I was still recovering from the heart attack I almost had then I saw him, oh God the CEO's son immediately I started wondering what he wanted, I immediately bent down to pick up the papers from the floor trying not to make a fool out of myself, and he didn't even bother to help me, guess my story isn't the kind where the guy helps the lady to pick up the paper that he caused her to spill, I thought within my mind, he just watched me as I was picking the papers up,...........“are you gonna keep staring holes into the back of my head or are you going to tell me what you are doing here" I imagined myself say then I also imagined miss Knuckles kick me out of the building happily telling me that I am fired.......
“im sorry for startling you like that, I am Lucas" “i know," I replied a little rudely “i mean everyone knows who you are" I said as he just nodded his head “right, I haven't seen you here before you are new here right?" He said again as I just replied “woah lucky guess" I wasn't too happy that he messed up the files that were already arranged in order, that I couldve just stored away easily.
“I can't help but feel that we started off on the wrong foot, so would you please let me make amends by treating you to lunch" “no thank you i would be busy" I replied wondering how that gossip was going to spread around the office like wild fire, I wasn't gonna be looked at the same again, I thought within me, “okay how about dinner?" He asked but I still didn't want to agree when he said “i know a good lobster place dont you like lobster, everyone loves a good lobster" he said again “well I do love a good lobster, but I'll go with you on one condition, we keep this strictly platonic" I replied “yes! I mean no problem, I'll pick you up wherever you wish" he says again really enthusiastically, “i think you would prefer you send me the address I'll meet you there" I said wondering the kind of fuss my mom was gonna make if she knew that I was about to go to dinner with the CEOs son, “let's say 7 ish" he said as he kept on walking, I just nodded.
I went back to my cubicle after taking like forever to finish arranging the files “what took you so long sloth?" Miss kunkle asked me with her normal angry tone, so I couldn't tell if she was angry or not “i ran into a mishap...." “dont care, now prepare yourself i have another assignment for you" she said putting on glasses and swiveled in her reclining chair.

I had arrived at the dinner that I texted Kayla to meet me, a fancy waitress came to my table “sir can I get you anything?" “ I can't say no now can I" I replied her as she smiled a little “restaurant policy you cannot stay here for more than 20 minutes without ordering something" she replied “yeah i know that, give me a glass of wine" then Kayla came in looking as gorgeous as ever “make that two please" I said as I was still watching the direction which she came in from" everything slowed down as all focus was on her, her hair swayed to one side, as she strode elegantly into the diner, she started looking around as if searching for someone, then I motioned for one of my guards to go and show her to my table, he walked up to her and beconed for her to follow him, which she obliged and came to my table, he pulled the chair back ward for her and she sat muttering “thank you" to the body guard it was fascinating
None of the ladies I had ever been with had ever done that, it was just simply new to me “you know you are different from every other girl that I have ever met" “coming from you that must mean a lot" she said slightly annoyed “ I can't help but notice that you take offense at every thing that I say" I said as I slightly bent my head and rested two fingers in my temple, “ you've had your eye in every lady that has passed this place, so I can't help but feel like I am just one of them" she said “okay I promise for the rest of the evening I'll have eyes for only one lady" I said smiling slightly then the hot waitress came back with the drinks and I gulped as Kayla starred at me waiting to see my reaction but I was glad that I didn't let her down, she dropped the glasses “is there anything else that I could get you" “how about some of those lobsters you talked about" Kayla said and the waitress nodded “ and you sir?" She asked me “ill have same" I replied as I resisted the urge to look in the direction that she walked in, Kayla smiled a little I think she noticed it.
The lobster arrived and we ate in silence, after a few minutes I wiped my mouth with the table cloth beside me and pushed my plate forward, there was still a lot of the meal left on my plate, “wait you are done eating?" She asked me with utter surprise in her voice, “yeah why?" There's still so much of it left well more for me I suppose" she said as she carried the remnant of the food and poured it into her food, making me smile once again, I stared at her without her noticing it and I felt genuinely happy, just seeing her smile and I felt the urge to keep that smile there always.
“dinner was over and it was time for us to go home to our respective houses of course, “would you mind me giving you a ride home" I offered, “no thank you I'll find my way"she said, “come on you'll make me look bad, I'm the heir to a multi-billion dollar company, what would be said of me if I let my date walk home" I said giving her the puppy dog face, and she looked like I got through to her, “alright fine you can drive me home" she said in surrender.

The drive towards this place was nice and relaxing, I didn't even feel any bumps on the road, we pulled up at my front porche and the driver came and opened the door for me “you are a very good driver sir thank you for the ride" I thanked him “kind words coming from you miss thank you" the middle aged driver said with his British accent I loved his smart black uniform it slightly looked like a sailors uniform, he looked smart an elegant in it, “i didn't quite catch your name kind sir ” I tried mimicking his accent" and we both laughed “my name is Mr Oswald" “alright thanks for the ride Mr Oswald" I still tried doing the accent and he nodded his head happily “good night" Lucas muttered as I just looked back at him “tonight was fun thanks" I replied him as i headed to my front door, I stood at the door and watched it leave I couldn't tell if he was waving back because of the tinted window I opened the front door and I saw “oh my God mom!"........ you
