The Love Between Us

Chapter 2

"Sir... You have a meeting tonight, Mr Gasby would like it to be more of a dinner date than a formal meeting. You know how he is... Sir... Are you listening to me... Noah?" Boris almost punched the car window in anger when he saw his boss spacing out in the passenger's seat. "Noah!" Boris yelled furiously, causing Noah to flinch. "Goddammit Boris, are you trying to make me lose my s**t on an already destroyed evening?" Noah snapped, his aqua blue eyes glaring at his personal assistant. "I have been talking to myself for the past few minutes sir. I had to yell" Boris sighed, clutching the iPad in his hand. "You could have just tapped me." Noah sighed. "My mistake, you've been staring out the window for minutes now". "Anyways... You were saying?" Noah sighed. "You have a meeting with Mr Gasby and he would like it if you kept the conversation and everything less formal," Boris explained. "What in the world, I like my things formal and... "He is aware.." Boris interrupted "That's why he wants you to losen up" "s**t no Sherlock." Noah cussed, he suddenly glanced at his driver before turning to Boris. "Why don't you fill in for me. I've got a date with Janice... Please." Noah sighed, hoping his best friend and also assistant would say yes. "No... I have filled in for you way too much. You have to meet with Mr Gasby, you are the CEO of Mane's cooperation, not me. Your date with Janice can be rescheduled." Boris nagged. "Why are you like this?" Noah shook his head. "Sir... Noah... Take it from me. You do want to attend this dinner. You will not regret it, I'll meet in with Janice instead and, while keeping her company, you will enjoy dinner with Mr Gasby. I'll prepare another date for you and Janice, tomorrow's Sunday and you are perfectly free." Boris beamed and suddenly looked down at his iPad to confirm Noah's schedule. His brown hair fell to his face and he mirthfully breathed out a smile. "You are free" " I plan to rest tomorrow but sure, Janice is all that matters." Noah sighed. "She is your world sir." Noah added and got a quick glare from his boss. Noah's index finger scratched the bottom of his perfectly jelled blond hair, and as the car suddenly slowed down because of the little traffic ahead, Noah's eyes suddenly reached the sidewalk and he noticed a rather confident lady. Dressed in red khaki fitted pants and black t-shirt, her left hand clutched a red shoe and on her right foot was the shoe's pair, leaving her left feet bare. "Should I call this fashion or an accident?" Noah mumbled under his breath as he watched this lady go, her brown hair swaying from left to right as she walked in a grumpy way. The car suddenly sped up and Noah cussed silently when the car drove ahead, losing the lady in a single red shoe. ~ Before Calista got home, the day had already turned grey, and after taking a shower and changing into something comfortable, the day finally turned dark. "Finally... Some alone time." She mumbled under her breath as she fell on her one-person bed. She had had enough today, first from the horrible movie Mika made her watch and, shoes decided to end things with her. Crawling to the mini fridge on the other side of her bed, Calista suddenly opened it and pulled out a bag of doughnuts with a juice box alongside. She grabbed her laptop, ready to start another movie to get her mind off the one she saw today, when her phone suddenly vibrated. Seeing Mika's name on the screen she sighed. "Hello..." Calista said dryly after picking up the call. "Calista!" Mika almost yelled. "I can hear you, no need to scream." Calista shook her head. "Yeah sorry, so I am in the bathroom right now at Fein's Hotel and I am losing my s**t". "Losing your s**t? Is everything okay? And hold on, pause, I'm sorry did you just say Fein hotel?" "You heard me right" Mika breathed out. "Uhm... Fein hotel isn't for people like us, or should I say people like me, because there's a fifty percent chance that you could be there, considering who Adrian is, we all know he's. We arrogant millionaire. Isn't he the" Calista scoffed. "My fiance isn't arrogant, he's the total opposite of what you and Ray see him as." Mika corrected, and Calista could swear she felt her eye roll. "And okay fine... Why are you losing your s**t then.?" Calista asked. "Okay, so the reason why I'm here in Fein's hotel is because Adrain had this business meeting and he wanted me to come with him and like you wouldn't believe who he was having a meeting with?". Mika sighed. "I can take a wild guess that he's having a meeting with other millionaires." Calista laughed. "Okay, f*ck... The meeting was with Gatsby Mercury, CEO and founder of Win-Tech, Connie Soy, CEO Of Gold-Group and Noah Leonhart... They all came with their dates, except Noah and I am seriously losing it". Mika's breathing hitched. Calista's eyes almost popped out of her face when she heard the golden names Mika had just mentioned. "Wait..? Hold on, your fiancé has connections with people like this? What? I mean Noah Leonhart, that dude could buy the entire universe and I wouldn't mind being purchased by him. But for real, I was just exaggerating about Adrian being a millionaire. I know he's fancy rich but I didn't know he was close to people like that, Mika, you are so lucky. "
