I'm Admired But He Is Feared

Chapter Twenty-Three

"They let you through?" I ask Gerry once he places the bag down on my desk.

"Yeah the guy goes he remembers me from last time so he let me through" I nod my head at what he says.

If Mr Peace finds out about this he would get that guy fired straight away. I know how strict he is with the security around the building.

"I love you for bringing me food" Wrapping my arms around his neck and staring into his blue eyes he places his hands on my hips.

"You love me or the food more?" He asks with a raised eyebrow.

"You already know the answer to that" Gerry knows how much I love my food and he most definitely knows not to get in between the both of us.

"I should be going then...your office looks great" He says looking around the room.

"I painted them" I tell him. Placing a hand on my cheek he leans down and kisses me softly. "I'll lead you to the door" I say taking hold of his hand.

We both walk together towards the door as Gerry opens it. He steps outside as I lean against the doorframe.

"I'll be waiting for you" He says pointing a finger at me.

"I know" I reply back.

He rolls his eyes and is about to leave when Michael calls me out. He walks towards me with a smile on his face and then his eyes shift over to Gerry.

"Hey" I say to him.

He stops in front of me and next to Gerry.

"Congratulations on your engagement" Michael shakes Gerry's hand who looks confused but covers it up with a small smile.

"Thanks man. Anyways, I should be heading off now" He says to Michael while taking a step back.

Before Gerry leaves he places a quick cheek on my lips and walks off. Michael smirks at me and lets out a whistle. Rolling my eyes at his behaviour I flick him off and am about to shut the door when Michael stops me.

"Yes Michael?"

"Samantha told me to remind you to pick up your bag from her" He says.

Oh my God yes, I forgot my bag with her in the morning. I might as well go pick it up now. Leaving my office door open I walk down the hall with Michael besides me who says he needs to go back down.

He leaves me standing by Samantha's desk and goes back to whatever he was doing.

"Sorry I'm forgetful" I say making her break out of her gaze from the computer screen.

Grinning back at me she takes my bag from the ground and gives it to me.

"It's ok, I just didn't want you to leave it here" She informs me.

"Like I said, I'm forgetful. Thank you so much" I blow her a kiss to which she returns with a laugh.

I speed walk my way back to the office to discover Mr Peace standing outside my office door. My door was opened he could have gone in.

"Koenraad" He says before walking into the room with me following him. He goes around the desk and sits in my chair. "Take the seat opposite me" He says.

Placing my bag in the chair next to me I sit down and look at him as he leans his elbows on the desk looking around the room.

"Is there anything you want me to do Mr Peace?"

"I want you to call these people" He shows me a list of names which are on a piece of paper. "And tell them to set up appointments with me. Do you understand?" He asks with a raised eyebrow.
