Susan Luke
I had watched him gawk at me as he ate his meal silently. His expression meant a lot of words to me. This was the first time I was seeing him sad. I summoned courage and walked up to him. Hello Chris; Susan, hope you are good; he asked sounding surprised. Yeah, a piece of your thought; Lol. I was just thinking business;
Am glad you glowed it means so much to me; she said. And am glad you are chatting with me; Chris added. Can I have your number so I can hear your pretty voice every day; Hun! she gasped
Sorry; he said placing his hand on my shoulders. I shuddered. I have to get back to work; I said standing up to leave. Don't go; he said in a whisper; The first time I met you it was love. But I kept ignoring this feeling. Please stay with me or I might regret losing you; he sang
Your voice is wow; she said grinning
Those words are for you and I mean every bit of what I sang. Please give me a chance and you won't regret this; I....I...; she stammered
Am not a bad person, believe me. Take this; he said handing over a business card to me;
You are.....; Chris Japhet. The branch manager of Shelley telecommunication plc; he cut in
My frequent meal here was because of you. I realized we are meant for each other;
I can't. Am a pauper; I cried
It's alright; he sighed deeply
You need time and it came as a shock to you;
Your number; he asked again
I collected the phone clumsily, typed the figures, and quickly handed over his phone. He gave me some cash but I looked away.
Even if you don't want to, accept it as a gift from a friend; I collected the money and resumed my work. Gosh, I never knew I could act this way all for a lady I barely know; Chris mumbled as he waved to suzy.
