The Cold CEO I Fell In Love With

Chapter5:Dinner

His heart couldn’t help but beat fast every time he thought about her, he kept getting restless even when he was not thinking about her. He held his phone and checked for her contact number from the company information. He wanted to call her, but he remembered their earlier encounter and thought ‘she’s probably furious with how I ignored her earlier’. Then he put his phone down, but the edge of seeing her didn’t leave his heart. By any means I must see her. He carried his phone again, but this time he used her email instead of her contact number: ‘At least this way my call will look work-related, and she’ll definitely respond and come over’. He sent an email: ‘Ms Kanira, come to my house. I need you to assist me with some urgent work. I’ll send a car to pick you up. Send me your location ASAP’. Vincent really had the pride

When Nira got upstairs, she immediately put her phone to charge, ran her warm bath in the tub and started changing to wear her bath robe while waiting for her tub to fill. She sat at her mirror to tie her hair in a ban and wore her house shoes to go to the bathroom. She soaked herself in the warm bath. After 30 minutes of bathing and washing her hair, too, with her lavender shampoo, she got out of the bath to get dressed so she could start preparing her dinner. She sat in her mirror and applied her body butter that always gave her a soft baby-like skin, put her hair oils and blow-dried the hair.

She wore her favorite purple lingerie, got up to find something comfy to wear. She got some socks on, a black sweat pant, and she threw a white jersey on without any shirt inside. She tied her hair in a ban and applied some lip balm. She looked in the mirror saying, ‘All done now dinner’. She got her phone to check the time, and it was 6.30pm. Then she saw an email notification she received 20 minutes ago. She opened and got puzzled ‘ his place, right now!’ she shouted. Without wasting time, she replied with her location.

Vincent sat on his couch after sending the email to her and kept checking his phone now and then to see if she had responded, even when he knew that a notification sound would ring if she sent a response, but he still checked his phone anyway. After a couple of minutes, his heart skipped a beat when he heard the notification sound, he immediately switched his phone on to check what it was, and he felt the warmth in his heart when it was Kanira’s response from his email. He immediately called his private driver to instruct him, sent him her location and told him not to be late.

Nira got her watch and packed the work papers she had carried from work into her bag. She went downstairs to wait for the car. Her heart was filled with so much hate and complaining that he couldn’t even let her get some rest, adding on to his rude behavior. In 10 minutes, the driver arrived at her apartment she saw the car lights because it was slowly getting dark. The driver stood outside the car and waited for her to come out. Nira grabbed her house keys in a rush and wore her shoes. She locked her door and headed towards the driver, who then opened the backseat car door for her. She smiled and said ‘ Thank you sir.’ The driver just nodded his head and closed her door.

He patiently drove to Vincent’s place and got there in about 30 minutes. And he said, ‘We’re here, Ms’, he got down to open the door for her and Nira smiled back at him to show gratitude, then he drove off. She walked to Mr. Shah’s house door and rang the doorbell. Mr. Shah’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the doorbell even though he knew it was her because he had seen the car’s headlights from his window and even looked through the window when she came out of the car. He immediately wore his serious face and said ‘ Hold on’ to the sound of the doorbell and wiped his hands. They were moist from his nervousness of seeing her. Then he held the door knob and breathed and out before opening it. He twisted the knob and opened the door, ‘ Come in,’ he said to her while looking at her in the eyes. She quickly shifted her gaze to the tall figure in front of her and went inside. He closed the door behind her and looked at where she was standing, looking nervous, but with her, she wasn’t nervous but frustrated. He told her to have a sit and he went upstairs.
