Chapter Three: Baby?

I soon arrived at Florence, and let me tell you, I got a lot looks from the other employees.

See, I don't really go there because the price is a bit to high for my liking

"Renae!, I thought you were not going to come"

I felt my face get so hot, and thankfully he couldn't see it because I'm black, but still

He stood up and gave me a firm handshake, his hands were so warm, it felt good

"H-hi"

"Good evening"

I could not stop shaking his hand so after a few seconds, he slowly pulled his hand out, and I felt coldness again.

How embarrassing

We found a table in a corner farther away from the employees(thank God) and sat down.

Then he started to do something so weird....

Stare at me, just straight up stare

I can just imagine how ugly I look, and he is just looking at me, so I looked down and said something

"Sooo..buisness talk"

Instead of answering, he started laughing.

Yep. You heard me. Laughing.

And let me tell you, his laugh was music to my ears.

It was joyous, and though I don't know how I made him laugh I was still happy I had that effect.

My face twisted in confusion

"Im....sorry" He wheezed

"Its just that....you tried to sound and act so professional...in front of me .....and it was horrible"

Yeah that's it.

He called me for a sick joke?

To see how I acted and sounded.....I didn't get it

I took a good look at his beautiful, still laughing, face and walked off.

Ever since I left Adam, I promised myself I would never make a man walk over me again, and here I am failing....

"Renae...wait, I'm sorry!"

Can he leave me alone, does he like talking to ugly girls or something

I quickly went to my car and slammed the door, as I saw Liam running towards me

He knocked at my window, and I pulled it down

"What is it, what do want, you obviously made a sick joke on me"

"No....Renae I'm sorry, I did have a job proposition for you, I was just playing around"

I looked at his face, and immediately melted. I had a feeling he was telling the truth

"Ummm.. okay, can I meet you somewhere else though, it's kind of embarrassing to go back in"

"Sure, I'm going back to work so you can ride with me, and we can talk there"

Riding in the same car as him?, that enclosed space? I already had butterflies

"W-what about my car?"

"Oh, I'll bring you back"

I got out, and we both walked to his car, and let me say, that car was sexy

I believe it was some type of Lamborghini

He opened the car door for me...how sweet?

We drove in comfortable silence for awile, until he put that song on

That was me and Adam's song

"C-can you please take that song off" I whispered praying I didn't cry

"Ummm...okay...why"

Does he have to ask?

"Personal reasons"

And that ended it until we reached a beautiful glass building that said "William's Enterprises"

"Wow" I breathed

"I know, I get that a lot"

I smirked

We walked in, and suddenly everyone eyes were turned to Liam and I, I looked down in embarrassment

Everyone looked the same...like white Barbie dolls

The women all had brown or blonde hair and clear skin, the men were all handsome

They wore pencil skirts and suits

I felt so out of place

"Everyone as they were" Liam said

And then I knew the gossip and the whisperings began, as my insecurities grew by the minute

We entered a clear elevator, and I continued looking down, hoping my long hair would block my face

When we stepped out, Liam grabbed my hand, and pushed my hair behind my ear

Someone kill me now!!!

"Hey...you okay?"

I stared at him for seconds, just in that position until a voice rang out

"Liam....WHO THE HELL IS THAT!"

Liam quickly let go of my hand and dropped his hand from my face

"Oh baby, it's nothing"

Baby?
