Love at first meet

Chapter 2

Another day.

Anne get ready to go to work. Daily routine of the employees and Anne was one of them.

She was in the consignor supervisor’s office of KA.Y Mall where she logged in and logged out. She checked the reports of her brand ambassadors. Concerns of these, orders and repeat orders, moving items and non moving items especially its loses and sales.

Next to her is the supervisor of a men’s shoes brand who has also been courting with her for several months. She has already made it clear that she doesn’t want to have a boyfriend as of now. After she hurt her first boyfriend /fiancée. They were going to marry her fiancée when he got off the ship. Her ex -boyfriend/fiancée is a seaman. He was still on the ship when she found out that her boyfriend had another girlfriend and that she had just given birth. It turned out that she was pregnant before her boyfriend boarded the ship again. Her boyfriend has been fooling her for a long time. It’s good that the woman made a way for her to reach out. The man is her college boyfriend. It was only a year ahead of him. That’s why she was hurt at the end of their relationship. After two years that they separated from her boyfriend, she never tried to have a boyfriend again even though many were flirting and courting with her. And one of them is her co -supervisor who is still persistent in courting her even though she has already condemned him.

Back to conversation.

“Hi Ma’am Anne. How’s your day? Sir Gerald greeted her.

“I would like to invite you to dinner. “He continued.

“That is if you are willing. “ He continued again

“Ahmm… Let me think about it Sir Gerald first. Because I’m going home this week. You know how far away we are. ” She answered him.

 “And one more thing, we are not allowed to see each other outside especially dating. They will think we have a relationship. I still love my job, Sir Gerald.“ She was crying but she wasn’t. She's kidding on him.

Although disappointed, Gerald just accompanied the joke in his answer. He knew Anne would refuse but he tried to invite her anyway and maybe she might agreed.

“When I invite you next time, I don’t want you to refuse Ma’am Anne. If you don’t want to and if you want, let’s have dinner. I don’t want to hear a “no” answer. Gerald replied jokingly.

Where did their conversation go even though they were busy reviewing the reports. Even the other supervisors who were also present in the office kept up with their conversation. They knew that Gerald had been courting Anne for a long time. The others are still helping Gerald to answer the girl. She is about to pass the calendar so she should get married. Maybe she won’t have a baby anymore. But Anne just laughed at their comments. Later, she will take lunch and go to the other malls to supervise the outlets.

She left KA.Y Mall and goes to the other mall. He was at MH Mall and supervised. One of her close friend approached her there. Sir Michael. He is a Visual Merchandiser Supervisor. He is also this gayness attitude.

He greeted her even though they met every day.

“Miss Carmen, how is our life. “ he greeted in an artistic voice. Miss Carmen is what he calls Anne.

“Hi sis mitch.” – this is what she calls Michael also.

“Here still breathing”. She was joking.

“Witch, of course you are still alive. You're still in front of me “He joked back to Anne.

“Carmen, I discovered some nice apps. One is dating app. But only men were there. I don’t like men because he didn’t finish what he was going to say. That's all I don’t like men.” With a wave on his finger.

“But those apps are more suitable for you. For a to have a boyfriend. Explore yourself. ”

“Heller. “Twenty -seven years of age is so Old maid, sis.” He blast her.

“If I can get an old maid, that’s me. Can’t I just not like it right now? Also, I still have trauma with men. I don’t like the ones you told me. I don’t want to force myself on them. We may both still regret it. “

She answered this joke.

“Even my friend who is a lawyer, you really criticized him.“ He complained that he was still rolling his eyes.

“When I answered him. It might be early to be a widow. What if he had death threats, I’m also affected by that threat either. “Anne replied to Michael.

“By the way, what is the dating app you are talking about? Sounds interesting.” She changes the topic.

“For Love”. Let’s take a look at your play store quickly. He said excitedly to Anne.

She took her cellphone and they looked in the play store and downloaded it.

“You can see who visited your profile and liked it. The others invite you to that. Is it up to you to study and chat. ” He added more.

She downloaded the app. And since he was at work, she didn’t investigate it first.

Later, she said goodbye to the supervisor because she had three more outlets to supervise.

Anne has already visited and visited the outlets. She will return to KA.Y Mall to log out. They had a night out with his friend Winchester. She will accompany it for a while in the new open resto he said.

Winchester and she went out and walked to the apartment together. They rested for a while, cleared away the clutter, and by seven o’clock the two were dressed.

When they arrived at the resto, their friends were already there. She just sat there while her friends really enjoyed dancing. She only ordered juice and food since she hasn’t had dinner yet.

Her cellphone rang. It’s a notification. Someone liked his profile in the previous app she downloaded. She didn’t like back. She just seen it. Someone is starting to chat with her but she is not interested. She just let it go and just saw it.

She was bored there. Many are already drunk except for her. Her tipsy friends also invited her to dance but she really wasn’t in the mood to join at that moment.

“Hello” and “Hi” is also her answer to those who want to introduce their selves. She also doesn’t entertain them, especially those who have already drunk.

She just waited for her friends to let them out. Around nine pm they decided to leave. Because they are still busy the next day. Except for her day off.

His colleagues felt hungry so they first entered a food chain and ate. Because her companions are gay, the noise of their group while eating was the most. She, on the other hand, just listens is entertained and just laughs. He gay friends notice her behavior but they just ignore it and didn't mind it.

They decided to go home after dinner. They were almost in the same apartment but the rooms were different. They took a taxi.

Anne was lying down when her mother called.

She answered it.

“Hello, Mom. Why are you calling at this time? It's late, than? “

“Hello, Anne. Are you coming home tomorrow? He mother asked.

“Yes, Ma. I don’t have a work tomorrow. “- Anne.

“All right, let’s talk here and it’s already night”

They said goodbye to each other. And Anne also turned off the call. Even if she was surprised, tomorrow she will know what her mother called. Maybe it’s not that important for her mother to say because she’s not opening it on call.

Before going to sleep, she first checked the notifications on her cellphone. Many number of notifications on “For Love”. She didn’t even read who chatted with her. She wants to sleep.
