"Ma'am" Clara called out to Gina who was in her office, even though her mind had travelled to another realm. "Ma'am!" Gina said again, and tapped her boss arm, and this finally gained Gina's attention... "What do you want!" Gina spat out and Clara almost scoffed. "You called for me Ma'am" Clara answered.... internally she hated seeing Gina's face and wished she wouldn't show up everyday at the boutique... it wasn't like she did anything than sit down in her office all day and be in a bad mood... Making all of them walk on egg shells "Did i" Gina said trying to remember the reason why she had called Clara in the first place, but she couldn't remember so she made something up... "I'm leaving Take care of everything till I'm back" She picked up her designer bag and put on her heels that she had taken off when she came to her office... Clara watched as Gina walked off and wondered what the problem was. Did she have another fight with that handsome man from before... She scoffed, Clara
"Miss... miss!" Charlie called out to Gina. She had her head rested on the table and her hair completely covering her face... she looked like she had passed out drunk... He sighed deeply and tapped his hand in front of her to get her to wake up, and Gina groaned... She raised her head from the table her eyes still closed and her hair dishevelled around her face... "Do you have anyone to call... you are too drunk to drive home yourself, " Charles said to Gina, a lingering smile on his face... she was an interesting lady... "I can drive home myself I don't need anyone" Gina muttered and was about to rest her hand back on the table but Charlie had walked put from the back of the counter and was now standing behind her... He placed his hand under her head and carried it up... "You can't fall asleep here," Charlie said to Gina, and she scoffed... "Don't tell me what to do," She said to him and shook his hand off from her head... Charlie couldn't stop smiling. The more time he spent with
"Miss," Charles said as he parked his car... "My name is not miss! my name is Gina!" Gina spat out and covered her mouth when she felt the urge to puke again... "I should have stopped you from drinking," Charles muttered under his breath... She still refused to tell him where she lived, and now they were parked somewhere along the road... He wanted her to sobber up, but it didn't look like she would any time soon... Instead, she looked like she was trying her best not to puke in his car... "If I start my car, then I will take it as you want to go to my apartment... since you refused to tell me where you live...gina" He said, the name was oddly unsettling to him, like he had heard it somewhere but he couldn't place his head on where he had heard it before... Gina immediately tried to unhook her seat belt, and Charles helped her do. she rushed out of his car immediately her seat belt was off and he came out his car quickly also... she needed fresh air... this was what happened when some
Juliet picked up her phone when he started to ring... a smile immediately graced her face when she saw who was calling, she had been thinking about him the entire day... she stood up from behind her desk and walked past lana who had been smiling and glancing at her from the past house... Juliet would have gotten home already but she was waiting for lana to be done with work so they could go to the boutique together... she walked to the meeting room and entered there... she closed the blinders before she answered Alex call... "Hey" She heard his deeply voice and she was smiling from ear to ear already... Twenty four hours of not seeing or hearing his voice felt like two weeks.... "Hi" Juliet responded when she realised she had taken too long to respond... "Are you still at work? have you had lunch yet" Alex said... He dropped the file in his hand and stood up from his chair... her beautiful voice alone was enough to make his work filled day... "I'm done with work, but I'm not h
"Drop me off here," Gina said to Charles when they arrived in front of her boutique... she had wanted him to drop her along the way, but this man was way too persistent and wouldn't stop the car till she told him where her boutique was... "GINA'S PLACE..." Charles said when they arrived... "You must own the place then.. was that why you accused me of blackmailing you? " Charles added, and Gina wished he would just shut his mouth... she was already embarrassed enough as it was... She unstrapped her seatbelt and came out of the car, and Charles came out also... "I'm Charles," He said, causing Gina to stop in her tracks... "My name is Charles... I know your name, so I thought you should know mine. " "I didn't want to know... it would be better if you didn't tell me... I hope we don't ever cross paths again, " Gina said to him and glared before walking off... while Charles had a smile on his face... oh, they were definitely going to cross paths... he was going to make sure of that...
"Is this right?" Juliet said to herself after she applied her eye liner... she got up from her chair and leaned closer to her mirror... "it's not the same," She muttered and took out more wipes... she cleaned everything and started all over for the third time... Her mom or Florence were the ones who helped her with her makeup when it was needed... she had no idea what she was doing, and she was slowly getting pissed off at her own self... "That does it!" Juliet snapped at herself and dropped the eye liner... she sighed deeply, and she walked to her bathroom so she could wash her entire face... She still had about two hours left before Alex showed up, and knowing how he showed up sometimes, she had a feeling he might show up earlier... she left her room and decided to make herself a cup of tea before she continued with her disastrous makeup which she was already thinking of giving up on...maybe a some lips gloss and mascara was enough, they didn't require more work like the rest...
Alex attention was on Juliet from when the movie started to till the middle of the movie... she could feel his gaze on her, and anytime she turned to look at him, he quickly turned away... why was he looking at her... she thought he didn't want to hold hands anymore.... she couldn't even concentrate on the movie because her concentration was one someone who kept concentrating on her... By the end of the movie, They both just left silently... "That was a good movie," Juliet said as they walked out of the theater she didn't want things to become awkward between them and their night to be ruined... it was their first official date together... "Juliet," Alex called her name softly when they got to the parking lot... "Can I hold your hand when I want?" He said she was a bit taken aback by his question... did he even have to ask... was that why he refused to hold hands with her for almost two hours..."Do you really have to ask..." She said in a low voice and sighed deeply... Juliet swallo
"I shouldn't be here," Gina muttered to herself as she sat in her car... she sighed deeply and raised the card in her hand up... Why couldn't she stop thinking about this 'Charles' The words he had said to her before he left that day kept ringing in her mind over and over again and now she was here in the parking lot of his bar and even though she didn't want to admit it a part of her hoped he would pass by so she could at least get a glimpse of him... What right did he have to say those words to her... She was about to start her car engine and drive away from the parking lot, but her hair stopped midair... He probably wouldn't be there all the time... she tried to convince herself not to go... Gina gave her head a little shake before she opened her car door and came out of her car... Her sunglasses, which she always took with her, were in her right hand and her bag in the other... Her heart raced as she walked to the entrance of the bar... "Let's see the private room then," Gina m
