Love Hurts

Chapter 10

Arthur's POV

I felt my phone ring in my pocket, it was Mr. Adams, a shareholder in the company. I hesitated at first and finally decided to pick it up.

"Hello?"I said calmly

There was a quick silence on the other side of the phone, "hello, Mr.Arthur, I would like to meet with you today,"

"That won't be a problem and don't forget to bring my cookies," I said and we both cackled.

My life hasn't been great lately, just loads and unwanted guests just like Rose, she annoys me but in a cute way.

I walked into my room, spotting Rose from afar. Her curly brown hair falls over her shoulders, and she has brown eyes, full red lips, and tanned skin.

She didn't notice me coming toward her, she was immersed in her book, probably trying to mail some reports to me. I coughed making my entrance known and she stood up immediately.

"Good morning, Mr. Arthur," she said with a smile on her face. She looked glossy and happy today, I'm sure she is up to something.

"Did something happen before I got here?"

She giggled, this is so unlike her, I was getting worried. My head rang realizing the message I sent to her. It was a mistake, well not actually, it was my mom that sent it to her. She claimed to have been mean and rude to her.

"No, I've mailed the reports to you, you may go now," she said calmly, she wasn't rude to me today.

"It's okay then," I took to my heels and walked to my door, I held the doorknob and turned back to her," do you mind if you go to lunch together?"

"That's alright, anytime," she smiled and sat down, punching the keys on her keyboard hard.

I was disturbed seeing her act like that, I wish she could go back to her usual self, I missed that. I glanced at her through the binds separating the two rooms. She typed on the keyboard, checking her phone frequently.

She stood up and walked towards the door, after a few seconds a soft knock was heard on the door.

"Come in," I said trying to act natural, the door opened gently and she peeped her head in.

"Mr. Adams is here to see you," she announced.

"Let him in," I said and she closed the door behind her. I packed the reports on my table and placed them in the drawer.

A soft push opened the door and I raised my head to see Mr. Adams. Short, gray hair, bright smile with a touch of nice personality.

"Hope you brought my cookies?" I asked and he laughed, he walked up to me and sat down.

"I sure did, I gave them to your assistant," he said glancing at Rose behind him. I didn't miss the smile on his face as he turned back to me.

"Is there something you would love to have? How about coffee?" I asked trying to divert his attention.

"Coffee would be nice, how about you tell her to bring it," he pointed to Rose who was busy filling out some documents.

"Okay," I walked over to Rose and told her to bring some coffee for Mr.Adams.

She brought the coffee in on time, setting it on the table in Infront of us, I saw Mr. Adams's face lit up, he touched Rose's hand slightly making her glare at him before exiting the room.

He twirled his head to look at her as she strode out of the room, his eyes were glued to her body. I was intrigued, seeing Mr.Adams act this way but I hid my feeling with a smile.

"Can I perhaps have a chat with her instead?" he asked

"Don't tell me you came to my office to talk to her?"

He chuckled, "I won't say that, but I came here the other day and meet her sitting down with a pile of notepads, I had to help her by entertaining her. Don't sound too mean"

"I would kindly ask you to leave, sir," I snapped, standing up from my seat.

"Mr. Norman, please calm down, I didn't_"

"Would you rather want me call the security on you?"

He stood up quickly, I heard a familiar voice outside the door. I glanced at Rose and notice her conversing with someone.

"Do you know who I am?" the other voice asked, Rose stared at me.
