To me, you are perfect!
Caleb Pov
"Bring me it's hard copy" I asked Bailey and she exited my room doing what she was told to do.
My phone beeped and I checked it to see a text message from Mom.
The text message read "Hey Dear! I have been to France for a friend's wedding anniversary last week and there I met her daughter. She is lovely. If you say Yes I would like you to meet her in Personal."
I rolled my eyes. "Not again! You can't be serious Mom" I muttered to myself.
"No way mom. I am not interested. Please!" I texted her back. Why does she always thinks about my marriage? What's wrong in staying and living a bachelor life?
"Sir your hard copy" Bailey kept those hard copies on my desk and I nodded going through it.
"Here are some mistakes" I said as I circled the mistakes using my pen. "Go and recheck it clarifying the mistakes and bring it back to me again" I told her and she nodded taking the papers away with her.
"Don't worry Caleb you don't have to deal with her any longer. Two more days to go and She will be back. Just keep your patience" I encouraged myself as I engrossed myself once again back into my work.
"Wit! You can not go in there. Ma"am!" I heard Bailey shouting and I looked out of my tainted glass to find non other than Valerie sauntering towards my room with Bailey following her, trying to stop her.
"Oh shit!" I muttered as I watched Valerie nearing my room.
"Damn this woman just doesn't understand that I am not interested upon her" I hit my thigh annoyed.
"Caleb!" and she was inside my cabin now.
"Valerie!" I put on a happy facade.
"Oh baby!" she ran to me and hugged me while I glared at Bailey for not able to stop her from coming in. I mentally made a note to order my building guards not to allow Valerie inside my building the next time she comes here.
"Valerie What are you doing here?" I asked her and signaled an apologetic looking Bailey to leave us alone.
"I came here to meet my baby" she cooed as she placed a kiss on my cheek.
"ughhh!" I mentally scowled at her affection. Damn it felt so wrong. What the hell is wrong with me?
"Baby let's go out?" she asked as she traced her finger on my chest.
"We haven't enjoyed since a long long time baby. What's say? We can go to some fancy restaurant and then to my place you know what I mean?" she used her seductive voice.
Though I didn't feel like it still I agreed making her jump in happiness.
"C'mon let's go!" she pulled me with her.
"Wait!" I stopped her.
"What?" She questioned irritated.
"Bailey come to my cabin right now!" I used the office phone to call Bailey.
"Why are you calling her? Will she come with us too?" Valerie asked me making me even more irritated than I already was. I wished to God at least give her some brain which she could use at least common sense.
Within seconds, Bailey stood before me in my cabin.
"Bailey book too tickets for us in a good Italian restaurant. I feel Italian today" I told her and she nodded "also cancel my meetings today. I am going out for some important business today" I told her and watched as she raised her eyebrows hearing my business and her eyes involuntarily moved to where Valerie was tracing her fingers on my chest.
"Stop it!" I removed Valerie's hand away from me.
"Okay sir" Bailey spoke slowly and I took my Jacket and made my way out with Valerie holding my arm.
We walked inside the elevator and waited for it to take us down. While inside the elevator I noticed what she was wearing. A green tight fitting dress which ended right on her mid thigh and I huffed at the amount of cleavage she was showing. My mind recalled back to what Sang was wearing in that event. Nothing too revealing.
"What the hell?" I was shocked to myself for thinking about her every often.
"Why are you compairing Valerie to Sangavi?" I asked to myself.
"Hu? Did you say something?" Valerie asked she leaned against me and locked her arms with mine.
"No! Nothing!" I said and pushed her a little away from me. "Stop sticking to me so much" I scowled at her and she pouted.
We walked out of the elevator and then out of the building. My Driver pulled my Mercedes-Benz before us and we drove off to the Italian restaurant.
"I wanted to eat Chinese today" she whined holding my arm as we entered the already packed restaurant making me roll my eyes.
"How may I help you sir?" asked a lady dresses in a black pencil skirt and black jacket.
"We have reservation for two" I said to her as she took out her iPad checking our reservation.
"Name?" She asked.
"Caleb Theller and Valerie Sterlings" I told her whilst she checked and nodded.
"Please follow me Sir"
We followed her and she took us to the middle of the restaurant.
"What would like to order?" She asked and Valerie began to order her food.
The Food was delicious. All the time, Valerie kept on rambling about her beauty products, Ex boyfriends, fashion, this and that while I kept my mouth shut and concentrated on my food.
"Oh no!" I heard her screaming and I looked up to see her scowling, wiping the water which she spilt accidentally on her dress.
"Stupid Woman!" I thought to myself.
"Don't worry it's just water" I said as I handed her the tissue.
"But it ruined my dress. Do you know how costly it is?" she whined and got up from her seat excusing herself going towards the bathroom.
