************************************

Grace Alder Pov. 

Again the new day I woke up early as usual. I was in a good mood today, last night I talked to my aunt and told her about the meeting with Noah and she went crazy. She started shouting and ask for a photo I told her I forgot to get one and she shouted at me about how can I forget that. She finally calms down when  I told her that we had promised each other lunch and I will ask for a photo next time. 

Well, I was super hungry today so I decided to grab something before going to the office. 

The café I went to was near the office building and very beautiful, I never notice this café before. The first step in the café and my mouth watered with the delicious aroma inside the café. My eyes stopped on delicious macarons I decided to buy some chocolate flavor, strawberry, caramel, and red velvet. 

I can't wait to eat them. I bought some for Kate too. 

Reaching the office I went to make coffee for Mr. Kingsley and put some caramel and red velvet macrons on a plate. Maybe a little amount of sweetness in his system might change his behavior and make him a little less jerk. 

On the way to his office I handed some macrons to Kate, she thanked me. 

Knocking on his door I entered and he was busy as always. I carefully place the coffee mug on the table and macrons. I turned to leave when he called me. 

" I didn't ask for this. " He said. 

" It's from me. " I said. 

" I don't like sweets take them away. " What who don't like sweets. 

"Me. Now take them away. " Did say that loud? I thought. 

" Little sweet in the body will help you to start a day with positive energy. Try them for once." 

He opens his mouth to say something but cut him. 

" Try it for once and promise if you don't like it I'm not going to bring them again. " I didn't wait for him to try in front of me and left his cabin.

I was working in my office when the phone ringed. " Hello, Myself Grace Alder Mr. Kingsley's assistant. how may I help you?"  I asked the person. 

" What a beautiful name for a beautiful voice. Myself Ryan, Ryan Glen. You can call me whatever you want. " That stupid is flirting with me. 

" Sorry, but again how may I help you?" I asked again. 

" Feisty huh  I liked it. Well for now I want to meet Aldrik can you tell him to pick my calls? " He asked me. The way he talked he sounds close to Mr. Kingsley. 

" Okay, I'll pass your message to Mr. Kingsley. " I said and cut the call. I don't want to hear more of his flirting. 

I called Mr. Kingsley on the intercom. " Yes. " He answered. 

" Sir, Mr. Ryan Glen called and asked to meet you and he also asks me to told to accept his calls." 

 " That mutt..." I heard him say before he cut the call. I shrug my shoulder.

A few minutes later Mr. Kingsley called me and asked to book a table... No to book the whole restaurant for him and Mr. Glen. Who is he? Ryan Glen? For whom he wants to meet in private. Is he gay? Nahhh.. 

What if he is? Shrugging my thoughts about him I got back to concentrate on my work. 

I called Mr. Kingsley and told him that I have booked the restaurant for the meeting and ask him if I can inform Mr. Glen about the meeting, he immediately stopped me said he would contact Mr. Glen himself. 

I was replying to some mails when someone knocked, thinking it might be Kate I said come in without looking. 

" You're indeed a beauty. " I heard and looked up. 

" And who are you?" I asked the man. 

" I'm the one and only Ryan Glen babe. " He said dramatically. 

" Don't call me babe. And Mr. Kingsley is in his office. " I said ignoring him. 

" Woah you're the first women who ignored me like that. " he took a seat in front of me. 

I know he's attractive and super handsome but he's just not my type. And he's kinda irritating too. 

" I'll inform Mr. Kingsley about your arrival. " 

" Why I was enjoining your company. " He's being sarcastic with me. I rolled my eyes. " I'll call him. "

" Sir, Mr. Glen is here. " I said but suddenly the phone got snatched from my hands. 

" Hey, Aldrik how are you? " He cut the call. Not even a second later my cabin's door burst open, and enter a very angry Mr. Kingsley. 

" What the hell are you doing here? " He asked Mr. Glen. 

" Hello to you too brother. " Here again I heard brother. 

" What are you doing here Ryan don't I tell you to meet me at the restaurant?" Angry Mr. Kingsley said. 

" I just thought why don't pick you up and we'll go together. And I want to meet the lady behind the beautiful voice. " I rolled my eyes again and Mr. Kingsley did the same. 

" Wait outside I'll come. " Mr. Kingsley said. 

" Let's go Ms. Alder. " Mr. Glen said extending his hand out for me. 

" No Ms. Alder is not coming with us." 

"And why not?" Mr. Glen argued. " Because I say so and she's my assistant so I will decide where there to take her or not. " I don't know why they are even arguing. 

" Come on Aldrik give here some break. " 

" No Mr. Glen I'm fine here and I don't want a break. " I said politely. 

" Ms. Alder-" " Ryan hey when did you come?" Noah entered and ran to hug Mr. Glen. 

"Just a few minutes ago. " 

" Well, it's good to see you back again. " " Me too. " 

" But what are you doing here, I mean in Grace's office?" Noah asked. 

" I'm trying to convince Aldrik to take Ms. Alder with us for a lunch. Now that you're here you tell him, he never says no to you. " 

" Just this? Come on Aldrik plus Grace has promised me a lunch we can do our lunch on the other table and you can do your meeting on other. " 

" Perfect. Come on Aldrik. " 

" Wait... " I interrupted. " Why no one is asking me if I want to go or not?" 

"Because you have no options. You have promised me a lunch remember now come let's go, everyone. " Noah said and pulled me with him. 

Mr. Glen followed us while Mr. Kingsley went to his office to take of something and told us to wait for him in the parking.  

We all headed toward the lift. The lift came and we entered Mr. Glen on my right and Noah on the left. I felt like a rich woman with two bodyguards. I mean these two men are no less than bodyguards. Noah is quite shorter than Mr. Glen but they are equally handsome. 

" So Grace. Can I call you that?" Mr. Glen asked. 

" That's my name, so why not. " I replied and Noah chuckled in my side. 

" So why don't you like me Grace?" He asked and I just shrugged. 

" Not everyone in this world can fall for your stupid pickup lines, Ryan. " Noah said. 

" But most of them do. But I guess I have to work hard here. " 

" I don't think so you any trick going to work here. " Noah replied. 

" And why not?" 

" Because she's different. " Noah said.
