I’m dedicating this chapter to ilovemyselfmeow. Thanks for your support. Sorry but this chapter is short.

Chapter 6

I burst out laughing, tears pouring from my eyes. Kat just told the funniest story ever about one of her ex boyfriends. Since lunch I’ve been hanging out with the Kat laughing so much I was becoming dizzy. I had finished all the files so I was just waiting for James to return from wherever he went, wherever that was. Jaz and Liz had to work so it was just me and Kat.  

“Hey where exactly did James go?” I asked curiously.

“James, you two are already on first name basic. Wow, I don’t know how you do it. Anyway he’s at a business meeting,” Kat told me.

“A business meeting? Aren’t sectaries supposed to attend those as well?” I asked. I was sure I read it in the contract.

“Yeah but you wouldn’t really know what to do since your new. That’s why he gave you all the files which brings me to my question of why aren’t you reading through them?”

“Oh, I finished,” I stated.

“You finished. How is that even humanly possible?  You sure you didn’t miss a file?”

“Nope, I’m sure. I’ve always been a fast worker so it wasn’t that difficult.”

“Ok miss genius. I’ll put you to the test.”Kat took out a question sheet. I head the tile and it was a question sheet to the files. For the next half an hour, Kat tested me on what I remembered. I got most of it right due to my good photographic memory. By the time we finished it was six and I was tired and hungry.

“Where is he? He told me not to leave until he came back but if I wait any longer I’ll die.”

“Ok I’ll call since I’m supposed to leave in ten minutes and I don’t want to leave you alone.”

 “I wouldn’t be alone Jaz and Liz are still here.”

“They leave at the same time as me.” I sighed as she dialled.

“Hi, its Kat. I was just wondering if you’re still taking Rose to dinner.” Pause.

“Yeah she finished a few hours ago.” Pause.

 “Ok. Yeah. Bye.” She put done the phone and faced me.

“He said that you can go home and change because he’s taking you to a posh hotel restaurant. He also said that he’ll pick you at 7, so you’ll have an hour to yourself.” Kat said smiling satisfied.

“Ok, thanks.” I went to my office. Got my brief case and handbag and went back to the reception.

“I’m leaving now Kat. Tell Jaz and Liz I said bye.” I got up gave her a hug and headed towards the lift.

“How do I look?” I asked Chris, twirling around.

“Beautiful,” he said and I smiled. For some strange reason I was nervous. I felt like I was going on a date even though I knew he was married. I was wearing a beautiful, hot pink, elegant dress that reached just below my knees. I had black shoes and accessories on which complemented my dress. I loved the way the dress hugged my curves and the way my hair was curled, flaunting down my back. I felt beautiful for the first time in a long time.

It was five minutes to seven and I was waiting for James to arrive. I didn’t know what I was going to say to him or why it was necessary to even have dinner. I hoped that I would enjoy tonight and become friends with him. Am I really strong enough to ignore my attraction towards him? I may have only met him but I knew that I had a small crush on him. I smiled feeling like I was 15 again crushing on teenage boys. Lost in thought I was surprised to hear the knock on the door. I looked at the clock thinking how fast the five minutes passed. I stood up, smoothed down my dress and went to answer the door. I expected to see James so I was shocked when there was a man dressed as driver/butler at my door.
