“Liam, wake her up everyone has left. And you two came out fast. ” I linked Liam through my mind and I walked out of the meeting room. I went out and stopped in front of elevator waiting for them to come.
Each employee would wish me good day or bye while they walk past me. I was sick tired there nodding at the crowd. I guess I had a bit more people working here. I mean they are only the heads and managers here and they are so many already. I shook my head.
I looked at the way where they should be coming but they were taking time to get here. Why?
I was thinking all of these when Liam came to me all by himself. He smiled weakly as he came near me.
“She said she’ll came in a while. ” he said.
“What is she doing? ” I asked casually but Liam’s face started to fade it’s color out of it. Did I say anything wrong ? What happened…. Was it because of Riley?
“Where is she? ” I asked. Liam know all the things with me so there wasn’t no need to afraid of asking where she was.
“She is talking to someone else. So I came to you. ” he said scratching his head.
“And who is she talking to? I think everyone left by now. ” I said.
“Ohh that, she is talking to Nolan Reid from finance department. He was her manager back then. ” he said .
I don’t know why I feel so angered at the thought that someone was talking to my mate. Like my mate.
Maybe I was red by my change in mood Liam tried to divert my attention “Let’s go back to the office now. We need to deal with many things there. ” he said.
“No, wait for her. ” I said.
“It’s not necessary sir. I have all the documents . Let’s go. ” he moves a few steps and then when he realized I wasn’t moving a bit, he stopped and turned back to me. Then he silently came to my side and stood behind my back.
In a while, Riley came to us and a guy was just behind her. He nodded at me and left with others. I was angry at her so I didn’t looked at her and entered the elevator. I asked Liam to come and stopped her from coming in. She looked shocked but I wasn’t going to pity Iver her this time.
We went up to the top floor and begin to work. Even though I was working all my focus was on Riley. She wasn’t here. The time went by and my anger had piled up so much that I started to fume. I finished one stack, two stack, three stack of paper work and then finally there was a knock on the door.
She pushed it open and my eyes met with her and she was scared of me. She even gulped down her saliva in fear.
I was still sitting on my chair but I woke up and walked up to her. ‘
“What were you doing? ” I asked.
“No, nothing. ” she said.
“Ohh really hug?”
She keep her head down and came in. I wanted to be angry at her but I don’t know what to say.
She came in and keep staying like that. I wanted to just punish her so that she won’t be able to do it again but when you looked at her you don’t want to punish at all.
I glared at her, I then looked away and went to the chair. I opened the stack of work and begin to go through them.
“It’s about to be lunch time ” Liam said from the side “What do you want to have today? ”
“Do it as usual. ” I answered.
“Lilly, what will you take for lunch? ” he asked.
“Ohh me? That’s OK. I’ll go and take myself. “I said.
“It’s fine. I’m going anyway. I’ll get you food just give me the names. ” Liam again said to her.
She also ended up ordering some food.
While Liam was gone out of the office, I turned off the computer and went up to her.
“I need coffee. ” I said.
She got up and nodded at me before quickly running away. I waited for her a little and this time she came real quick than before. I took the coffee from her and took a sip. I take a sip and it was good.
“How is it? ” she asked.
“It can be drink” I said. She keep looking at me. Now I was at the couch. I drink the sip of coffee and asked her to get me those papers.
She didn’t said anything and did as she was told. The only thing was she was standing all the time after she made coffee. She can’t sit with me and there were no more place for her to sit.
In a while Liam came in with three pouches of food. He kept the two outside and took one to the lounge inside.
In a while, I felt my stomach growling with loud noises.
“Let’s eat something first. ” I said and asked Riley to clean up the table. She took away the documents from there and cleaned the table.
Liam also came up to me and sat.
“I kept yours inside. ” he said to me.
I looked at the lounge but I didn’t feel like eating alone. So I went in and came back with the pouch of food.
I sit next to Liam and opened my box of food. The air now was filled with aroma of food in there. I started eating mine immediately and so did they.
We were eating when the door pushed open and Bella Schultz come barged in.
“Hey Willis…” she looked at me and stopped talking.
I was chewing my food of course. So I raised my brow in a response.
“Why are you eating with them? You can’t just sat and eat with anybody. You are the CEO of Golden Company.” she said looking worried at me.
“Why are you here? ” I asked to stop her nonsense.
“Well I was here to ask you out for the lunch, but seems like you are almost full by now. ” she said while looking at my almost empty box of food.
I didn’t feel bad though “Yeah I was a bit hungry today. ” I said “Why don’t you go and get yourself something? It’s not good to stay hungry. ” I said.
She smiled suddenly and then said “Ohh Willis, you took so much care of me. I’m so happy ” she said.
I nodded with a smile in my face and sweat in my forehead. Even though I was angry at Riley all the time, I looked her from the corner of my eye to see if she was reacting anything to the conversation. I got angry again.
Damn why this girl wasn’t feeling anything? She was keeping her head down and was digging in to the foods.
I wanted to taste her. I wanted to see if she was going to react anything. So I looked at Bella and smiled “Bella go and have some food, staying hungry may not be good for your beautiful skin. ” I said and quickly looked back at Riley to check her expression.
Duh…. She had no expression at all. OK, let’s she how will you not react anything now.
“Ohh, I’m not that hungry though. ” Bella replied to me.
“Bella I’m sorry that I stood you up today. I’ll take you out to wherever you want to have lunch tomorrow. ” I said and then looked at Riley. This time she had a sarcastic smile on her face. Even though it didn’t last long and she eat there without expression afterwards.
“Aww so sweet of you Willis. You really took good care of me. ” Bella said to me.
I smiled at her and asked her to go and get some food for today and she ran out of the office as happily as a child.
After that incident, Riley didn’t have any expression on her face. She would do whatever I asked her to do without any questions and keep her eyes down almost all the time… I even tried to talk to her but no…. Nothing came out.
I give it a thought and then think of a way to make her smile again. I will cook for her today.
After the office hours ended, she went out along with all the employees while I had some more work to finish.
After finishing the work, I came down the building around five and thirty only to see Riley still on the office yard.
