In love with my boss and the governors' son.

Surprise.

CHAPTER SIX.

My heart immediately skipped. I couldn't tell why he was calling me. "Does he want to fire me?". I slowly stood up from my chair and headed out, towards his office.

I knocked on his door and he asked me to come in. I got into the office, greeted my boss and sat down. I felt very uneasy because he just constantly gazed at me without uttering a word.

"You sent for me sir."

I asked nervously still, he said nothing. His lips looking amazing and succulent. I couldn't imagine having those lips on mine. I set my gaze all over him and I must say, he was even more handsome than I had earlier imagined.

Who could have believed that I would be seating before my boss, drooling at him.

"You made me proud today Anna, you've been reinstated."

His sweet baritone masculine voice jolted me back to reality. I was very pleased and happy, I had been giving another chance and opportunity to rewrite my wrongs.

"Thank you very much sir, I'm very grateful to you and I promise not to ever mess this second chance up."

I couldn't believe that I was tearing up although I tried to suppress it. He equally told me that he knew when I came to work today and he was definitely going to punish me personally.

Mr Peter was still talking to me when I felt a very sharp pain at my lower abdomen and that made me remember that I hadn't eaten that morning.

I didn't know how best to sound to avoid sounding disrespectful to him. I was very hungry and I needed to eat before our lunch break would be over.

"With all due respect sir, I would love to go for lunch break before the time is over."

I didn't want to sound disrespectful to him in any way to avoid being regarded as disrespectful and insolent more over, I just got pardoned for the previous mistake I made earlier.

Mr Peter looked at me and began laughing. I was very much embarrassed although I tried not to show it. I couldn't tell the reason he was laughing at me.

"You're very funny Anna."

I couldn't really place what I had said that sounded so funny to him. I still tried to keep my composure and calmness.

"You know what Anna?" He asked me.

"I don't have an idea sir."

He kept silent again and stared at me directly in the eyes. He had a killer look, that which was capable of making any girl fall in love with him.

"I would go have lunch with you Anna. I guess we made the same mistake this morning, I also forgot to eat the same way you did." He said to my shock.

This man was one of the most influential people in my country and still he wanted to hang out with me for lunch. I couldn't tell if he had any ulterior motive behind the whole thing but I knew that he had a very kind demeanor.

I was reluctant about moving with him, my colleagues could feel like I was a cheap girl trying to make her way into the life of our boss. Deep down inside me, I loved the fact that he asked me out for a lunch because it was a dream come true for me.

My boss swiftly dragged me outside the office with me, heading towards the cafeteria. He knew the perfect way to give a lady the princess kind of treatment.

"So Anna, you ain't just beautiful, you're also brainy. I loved the way you countered each and every question like you had prepared for it. Kudos Anna."

I was absolutely overwhelmed to hear the good news, I had not expected those kind words from him because they were really very soothing and soul lifting.

As we walked over the hall way that led to the outside, I could see the look of shock and disbelief in the faces of my colleagues but I didn't care again because all I wanted was enjoying the moment to the fullest.

Occasionally, Barrister Peter would look into my eyes reassuringly while squeezing my hands slightly. I could only smile because the whole incident seemed like some sort of movie to me.

Finally, we got to the staff cafeteria and all the staff were happy to see my boss probably because he treated them well and it could also be their opportunity to be blessed by him.

"Let me have fries with lemon juice." He ordered. The waitress was very swift in action, she delivered with the speed of light.

I couldn't tell what I was going to eat anymore. I just had to ask the waitress to get me beef sauce with rice and orange juice. My order was soon before me and in no time, I was almost halfway done with my food.

I felt someone's stare at me, I looked up and discovered that my boss had been staring at me all this while and grinning to himself.

"You're really hungry Anna, I could bet my whole money that if you hadn't eaten the next second away, you could have swallowed me."

I couldn't control it, do I busted out in laughter. I could see some staff in smaller groups murmuring inaudibly among themselves including the whole staff at the canteen that came to eat.

All attention was on us. I didn't care in any way because I was only interested in eating to my satisfaction before noticing anyone else.

My mind slowly drifted back to Wilson, the plumber that had done my repair yesterday. I wished I had collected his phone number and contact address to at least put him through since we both studied the same course.

Indeed, I hated seeing people in need. I would try my best to get his contact from my estate management once I get back home. Remembering him at that moment made me weak. I instantly lost appetite of the food i was eating.

My boss was very observant. He tried his possible best to indulge me in a conversation. He noticed my easiness even though I tried to comport myself so much.

"Why the sudden change of mood, you could share your story with me." He said soothingly. I went ahead to explain in details the much I knew about the plumber guy.

My boss promised to do something about his unemployment status if when he is found, he would be able to defend his results excellently. I had the faith that the guy will do that greatly and I let it go.

I wanted to know the exact reason why my boss had to choose me out of all my colleagues. The smirk on his face when I asked him was funny. He told me that he was my boss and he had the right to.

My heart was at peace with this man, I couldn't really tell why he was very fond of me but I knew that he was a very reserved man and he had his reasons.

I continued to munch my delicious meal. I loved eating beef a whole lot and I enjoyed orange juice too. My boss ordered more fries for himself while I ordered for a napkin to clean my hands.

"I can see that you love fries so much sir." I said and smiled. He asked me a sudden question that threw me off guard.

"What if I propose to you now Anna?"
