Dahlia's POVDai hasn't been to work since our last encounter, he only works from home due to the flu he caught. I've been calling him since his secretary informed me of his flu but my calls keep going to voicemail. I think he's ignoring my calls cuz today is Friday and he didn't come to work and I overheard his secretary talking to him on the phone.He also instructed that I channel any information regarding the projects we were working on through his secretary. Yes, I feel something strong towards Mr. Japana but, I can't give in to his demands cuz there's a lot on the line like my Job and my reputation.My girls have been supportive over my feelings for my Boss and Sara advises that I follow my heart which confuses me more. I won't deny that I've had my moments of weakness urging me to accept Dai's proposal to court me but I stand by my principles.Mr. Trump called yesterday to know how I was holding up with working at the company and to know if the work load is easy to handle with
Dahlia's POVTrue to his words, Mr. Trump's driver picked me up at 5:30pm and we arrived 5 minutes before 6pm. Walking into the Restaurant I greet and inform the receptionist that I'm meeting Mr. trump to which she calls a guy dressed in a white shirt and black trousers to lead me inside the restaurant.I first spot Mr. Japana sitting at a table with Mr. Trump to my surprise, I wasn't expecting to see him here but I think it's normal since he's going to spearhead the project."Good evening Gentlemen" I greet them immediately I arrive the table and Dai stands up, pulling a chair out for me like a gentleman."Miss Harrison thank you for sparing us some of your time to attend this meeting" Mr. Trump addresses me but I notice Dai staring at me but I can't read his expression."Anything for the success and continuous growth of the company Sir. Mr Japana I'm glad you are well and the flu is gone" I can see guilt on his face, since he has been ignoring my calls."I'm great, thank you. Let's
Dai's POVPretending to be all professional with Lia is taking up a lot of my energy, She looks so beautiful and she seems surprised with everything. I noticed how she stares at the plane's interior and how stiff she was through the entire flight.She slept off without even knowing and she looks so cute when she's sleeping. I had my laptop open reviewing the contract for the client to sign after we present all the drafts for the website and mobile application. I really hope he doesn't make things difficult for us so this trip could end sooner.I had anticipated this trip to be for a week when I didn't know I was going to be traveling with Lia, but all my plans to avoid her went down the drain because of Mr. Trump. Staying in Paris for a week with Lia will do more damage to my heart because of my feelings for her knowing she doesn't want what I want.We'll be meeting the client at the headquarters of his stores so we can learn about the layout, products and the services they offer befo
Dahlia's POVMr. Laurel is such a fine and romantic man, I'll say I thought he was hitting on me earlier at the boutique but later while we were at the factory looking at the things produced there, he took me to one side of the Factory to show me a particular clothing brand which is sewn by 500+ seamstresses.He told me the designs were all made from scratch by his designer girlfriend who had to attend a 4 days conference in London. He spoke with so much adoration and love for his Lady, she's so lucky to have a man like him. He also told me he plans to propose to her this week.He wants me to accompany him to the jeweller tomorrow to pick an engagement ring design for the proposal this Sunday. He plans to invite Dai and I to witness his love story since we're going to be working together in the future.Dai seems so off, like he isn't happy to be here. I shouldn't be too quick to judge but he's using his serious bossy look since we arrived Paris. Like he wants the client to sign the co
Dai's POVThe contract signing isn't my main problem with this Business trip but the fact that the woman who drives me crazy is being so sweet and cozy with another man. Mr. Laurel seems to be a ladies man and he's got a gift of complimenting women excellently plus being a very sweet talker.Mr. Trump didn't tell me he was a young man in his mid thirties and a Ladies man at that, Lia seemed so comfortable with him all day, they kept chatting at the factory like long lost lovers and worst he wants to take her to see the Eiffel tower. It was the last thread holding my anger, I couldn't believe Lia had gotten so close to the client and decided to accept his invitation to go out. I feel a little guilty for all the things I told Lia yesterday, I admit part of my anger was steamed by the alcohol I drank. I feel like cancelling the contract but this won't be good for our company's image and my partner will be disappointed.As I take a bath my mind drifts off to the incident between Lia and I
Dai's POVI've been here since 11am and no sign of Mr. Laurel or Lia. He said they were going to meet me at the factory at 12pm but it's 1pm already. How long does it take to see the Eiffel tower, considering the fact that Lia left early this morning.I'm busy on my phone when I notice someone standing Infront of me in flats, holding out a paper bag Infront of me. Following the owner of the shoes up to their face shocks me as I see Lia holding out a paper bag to me and she's not alone. Hana Yamamoto is standing behind her watching us.What is going on here? why is Lia not angry with me? and what is her friend doing in Paris?. "Hello Mr. Japana, nice seeing you in Paris" Hana says smiling with a hint of sarcasm, almost like she's got an issue with me. Maybe Lia told her about what transpired between us."Miss Yamamoto, a pleasure seeing you here" I put on my best captivating smile. Being friends with her brothers has taught me not to joke around Hana."Catching up with my bestie since s
Dahlia's POVIt's been a week since we returned from Paris and all I've been doing is focus on the project we have with Mr. Laurel. We'll be required to travel frequently to France to set up the website and mobile application and other details for the stores.Dai has been in my hair with his sweet apologies but I can't stand down just because the man is being a romantic. I admit I was surprised he could be this romantic and could actually keep his big ego in his pants and apologize to me.I was really hurt by what he said about me being a gold-digger fishing after wealthy men. It really cut deep in my soul. As much as I really like the man, I can't give him another chance.The whole office now knows My Boss has an interest in me and most of the guys keep clear away from me. I mostly sit with Susan at the company's canteen when it's break time or go out with my girls for lunch.My University sent me an email reminder about my student debts which I had almost forgotten due to how well my
Dai's POVI've been sitting in my car beside the office building since 5pm, waiting to see Lia leave the office when I spot Mr. Trump's car parked at the entrance of the building. It takes about 3minutes for Lia to step out of the office and she's being ushered by My partner's driver to the car.What the hell is going on? and why would Lia be riding in Mr. Trump's car and I remember she received a call earlier today with a possible dinner invitation. I don't want to doubt her anymore and I've been trying to get her forgiveness since we returned from Paris.I better give her some benefit of doubt and not investigate what this is. Igniting the engine of my car I speed away towards the direction of my pent house.The next day runs in a blur, Lia keeps ignoring me and I try my best to keep things between us professional. It won't set a good example if I'm pursuing Lia at the office. We both focus on work and later that day, I receive a call from a strange number."Hello?....." I answer lea
