Joshua woke up around 5:30 am when he felt something heavy from his waist down. Maria's right leg sprawled over his legs; surely she wasn't aware of this he thought to himself. He adjusts the lamp's brightness and took his phone and opens the camera to take a shot of them, him smiling widely and looking directly at the camera while Maria was sleeping. Then save it as wallpaper for his home and lock screens then close the lamp, then went back to sleep. When he woke up Maria is no longer on his side, she must gone to work again. He checks the time from his phone and smile at his wall paper, its 7 am. Then someone knocks on the door.
"Sweetie, its Mom...are you up?" Lisa calls for him
"Okay Mom, I'll just freshen up and be with you guys in a jiffy." He replied quickly
"Hi Son, come on lets have our breakfast. Maria cooked before she left for work" His Dad said
Just the thought of Maria makes him smile; she must have gotten up early just to prepare breakfast. He then joined his Parents at the table.
"What is your plan today, Son?" Lisa asked
"Today is your last day here, right? How about dropping by at our Company for a surprise visit before lunch? He asked his Parents
"Sounds good to me Son, but I think me and your Mom needs to change before heading there" Kevin replied to his Son
"Okay, I'll ask your chauffeur to drive you to KL Residential suites, so you can change then I'll meet you at the grounds of our Company" he said to his Parents. Then made the call to the chauffeur and another call, this time to his friend Ricky the owner of Pearl Tower.
10:30 am at the Elliot's ground; the Security Department panicked when they saw the Elliot’s Family entering the building. The guards greeted them while one readies the elevator exclusively for their usage and pressed 60th floor. The elevator opens at the President's office and his Parents roam around while he went to Maria's office just to see an empty seat. He went to her desk and notice that she put her calls forwarded to Conference room which is from the other side of the floor. She must be there busy working with the investigation I asked her to conduct for a much bigger table. He checked the CCTV Monitor just right beside the office phone and search the President's Conference room (PCR) and it gave him the full view of what he exactly want to see. A tall woman looking very elegant in white body hugging dress with svelte belt, square cut neck revealing her sexy collar bones. He look at her serious face, studying one file on her hand while more files spread on the long table. Then, something plays on his mind. He fishes out his phone in his pocket and sends her a message.
"Hi Honey, are you busy?" He message her
Maria heard her phone beeps and smile when she reads the message "No, I am just partying in the office" She replied at him. Then puts her phone back in the table and start checking the specific file she has on her hands before. When her phone beeps again, she almost dropped her phone on the ground upon seeing the image and put her hands on her flushed face. This was all witness by the Man behind the monitor. By then his Parents saw him laughing while watching someone in the CCTV Monitor, they've asked him where's Maria whilst checks who is he monitoring. Why is Maria covering her face with her hands? Both of his Parents thought.
“She’s in the conference room; I’ll go get her now.” He replied but before leaving he pull the bottom drawer of her desk and takes out the leather key holder and wallet from her purse. Then carefully shove it at the innermost of the drawer to look like it fell from her bag. Then places her purse back at the outermost part of the drawer, so she can easily see and take them later without thinking if something fell off.
He reached the room and leaned on the open door frame then makes a coughing sound to get notice, just only then Maria gazes at his direction. Both didn't say a word but just sweetly smiles at each other. Joshua walks towards her and cupped her face with his both hands and kiss her on the lips, not sure why she did but she kissed him back but stopped realizing that his Parents were not around so it's not necessary to act.
"Where's your Parents" She asked him
Remembering his Parents in their office, he suddenly said to her to wave at them as they're actually watching from the CCTV monitor. Because of that he was awarded by a pinch on his side that makes him twitch in a bit pain.
"Let's go, we have to visit few Departments with my Parents and head out for lunch after as they're leaving for home later, remember?" He said to her
"Okay, how long have you guys been in the office?" She asked
"For a while, enough to see your reaction when I send you the image earlier" He replied back at her with a naughty smile on his face. And jerk a little when he felt he was pinch but in his butt this time. "You naughty girl, I'll get even with you some other time, I promise" He said then stole a kiss from her.
Maria collects all the files in the table where Joshua carried it on his left hands while he held Maria's hands with his right hand and went back to their office. The unexpected visits done to selected Departments cause a stir. They didn't stay long in each Department but just had a quick talk with the heads and left for lunch.
"Joshua, your Sister is coming next week. Shall I ask the chauffeur to pick her up or you two had a talk already?" His Dad asked him
"She called me and I offered to pick her up. She also prefers to stay at the ancestral house during her one month stay here" He said
"I am sure Chloe and Maria will get along" Lisa said contributing to the conversation.
After lunch, they said good bye to each other as they will be heading home right away. Giving each other a hug and a peck. They walked them in their car and watch them leave.
"Drop me in the office, please" She said to Joshua
"Why? Aren't you going home yet?" He asked
"I have to continue the report you need and my Car is also there" She replied
"Fine" A short reply from him
"Okay, thanks for dropping me off. Drive safely and see you tomorrow!" She said looking at him before running towards the building.
Joshua just watch her walks inside the building smirking, once sure she's no longer in sight he park his car and walks towards her car. Then deflate one of her tires and went back to his car. Then park somewhere enough to see her leave the building later and starts playing on his phone to kill the time.
