Unexpected Love

She is not my sister

Richard Anderson

I had almost backed out of that snorkeling adventure, but I am happy that I didn't. It was so much fun. The smile on Jia's face was worth everything. Her friends were wonderful too, except that Parker fellow. Spending time with them had brought a new world in front of me, a different world. I thought clubbing and partying was the way of fun. In childhood, I always thought that If I ever got riches, I will party like a king. I was never accommodated with Bro's idea of peaceful living, small living, he was always up for adventure and sports, still is. I should try going out with him too. She introduced me to a new world, and I am liking it. I am LIKING it.

I was so happy when I dropped her and asked to meet for lunch next day. I was going to ask her on a date, a proper date. She had amused me, her innocence and playfulness had somehow got me entertained and anxious. We can date and then see how things work out for us.

Bro's party came in between, his yearly ex army buddy party. This was the only once that he partied and man that is some boring party. I attended once and never bothered again. I told bro to never invite me. EVER

I was waiting for her at our regular spot, that is a small street side joint opposite our office building.

I saw her coming, she was wearing a pink ruffle top with black pants making her look cute and sexy

She came and stood beside me and made a stern face

"We meet again Mr. Anderson" she said in some accent.

"nan jeongmal dangsin-eul joh-ahaeyo" Lee said looking at me

"What?" I didn't get a word he said.

"al-ayo, dangsin-eun gat-eun neukkim-i anieyo, geuligo, jeoldae haji anh-eul geos-ida. hajiman...naneun sidohaessda." He continued with unknown emotions glazing his eyes.

"Lee, I did get what you said. LEE... 'He just looked in my eyes and went away. We were having our morning coffee at the recreational area.

"What was that, what did he say, anyone of you know?" I was baffled at his antics.

"I think he said something in Korean" Ellen suggested. Yes, it looked like that.

"Ya? But what was it. I don't even remember to Google it." I was still confused.

"Anyway, how was the party yesterday?" Cara asked.

“Tiring” I shrugged. It was more like a get-together and only place where Mr. Anderson was comfortable around lots of people. People that he found equal to him.

"Parties are not tiring." She said.

"They are, if Mr. Viktor boring Anderson gives it. And I need to be at my place before my boss finds out me missing." I rushed towards my workplace.

Just as I reached my desk, my intercom ringed

"Ms Davis, can you come in."? My dear boss always to the point.

"Yes si..." He didn't even let me finish and cut the call.

"Please arrange someone to go and fix the roof of Roger." He said when I was in front of him.

I looked at him confused and kept looking hoping he would elaborate a bit.

"Yesterday...we dropped Roger...his roof needs fixing... remember?" He explained as if I was the dumbest person on earth. I closed my eyes, getting annoyed. Keep swimming, just keep swimming, I kept telling myself.

"Yes..y yes" he was talking about that creep from yesterday.

"So you remember the address?" He asked with his cold hazel orbs fixed on me, challenging me to deny.

"Yes" Do I?

"Thank you so much. So PLEASE send someone to fix his roof." He stressed on please so much. Why is he so annoyed?

"Ohh ok. I will get it done." I mustered all confidence.

"My sister will be coming to meet me, tell her to come after lunch, Giulia Anderson." He informed me. Do they have a sister?

“Ok Sir”I went to my place and searched Giulia Anderson in contact list of Mr. Anderson, called her and confirmed her arrival after lunch. I looked up for Roger in the contact list, trying my luck, fingers crossed. I found him, yes! I am smart, you see. I called him, asked his address and arrange people to fix his roof, which I know is a 'help' from Mr. Snobbish. I feel he is not that bad. I better go, my lunch date is waiting.

I reached and saw Richie sitting there lost in thought.

"We meet again Mr. Anderson" I said in Agent Smith's accent, well, I tried. He looked at me with his brows furrowing.

"I know...ummm... I know that. Agent Smith from Matrix." He clapped his hands.

"Bingo." I said and we did hi five. I sat across him and we ordered our food. He was struggling a bit to say something and was looking here and there.

"I wanted to, you know...like,  you and me...Fcuk!"

"What" I can't believe what he said, but in the next instance he crouched under the table as if hiding from someone. I was just trying to understand what was happening.

"Richie, are you hiding from me?" I heard someone say right next to us. I glanced up to see a very beautiful, tall girl standing with her hands on her hips and her full focus on Richie. She looked elegant in her formal attire.

"Oh Lia, after such long time...no, I was just searching for something...ummm..." He was standing now and looked a bit scared? That girl then looked at me. I didn't like the way she was staring at me.

"That's Jia Davis, Bro's PA." Richard introduced me.

"Oh hi, we had a word in the morning, Giulia Anderson." Her demeanor changed, and she offered me her hand with a beautiful smile.

"Oh yes, after lunch meeting" she was their sister

“LIA” someone called her from behind.

"Who is that" Richard asked with displeasure.

"Liam, my fiance, I brought him to meet bro" I saw the fellow, he was handsome, but not as much as these brothers.

"Your WHAT?" I flinched at Richie's sudden outburst.

"My Fiance." Giulia or Lia said with a roll of her eyes. She doesn't seem fond of this brother of hers.

"You got ENGAGED?" He was so shocked, He looked at that Liam fellow with disgust. I know brothers are too protective of their sisters, but this was too much. Soon he will say the famous dialogue 'Hurt my sister, and you will face my wrath'.

"Yes, are you coming up?" Lia started walking towards the office building. We both kept looking at her residing back, she was beautiful, just like her brothers.

"Your sister is very beautiful" I told Richie, and he glared at me. What did I do now?

"She is NOT my sister!" He snapped.
