A Date
Kelly’s POV
Klay didn’t show up for two days after I told him to give me time the next morning after we spent the night together. My apartment was at peace during the weekend and Pierce didn’t insist on seeing me and talking to me.
Somehow, I felt at ease. But I also know they’re just trying to give me some space. I know them too well. They are persistent. They won’t stop showing me
what’s on their head.
“Ma’am, our orders have piled up today. Even though it’s keeping us busy, this is good news.”
I smiled at Yara, my assistant. She’s sitting on a chair with me while we’re arranging flowers. The other employees are on the other table doing the same.
Yara’s right. We’ve become busy since this morning and I’m thankful because it made me occupied.
“Miss Kelly.”
I lifted my chin when one of my employees approached me carrying a bouquet of red roses. It was the bouquet she arranged a while ago.
“Yes?”
“One of our clients called and told me to give these to you, Miss Kelly.”
My lips parted and I felt my heart racing. Red roses from a client? I couldn’t help but to think of Klay. He’s the only one who would do this.
“Oh my God!” Yara gasped and cupped her mouth. “You have a suitor?”
I felt my cheeks heated because of what Yara said. Is he really courting me?
I smiled awkwardly and accepted the bouquet from one of my employees. Yara giggled and moved a little closer.
“Say, is he your suitor or he’s already your boyfriend?”
Shaking my head, I pulled my chair away from Yara. “What are you talking about?”
34
“Come on, ma’am! I know you’re my boss but I’m trigued. Oh well! It’s not shocking anyway. You’re very pretty and smart. Men will line up just to court you.”
Line up? I couldn’t believe I’d hear someone ever say that. When I was
w eyes were focused on
studying, I gave up on dating other men because Pierce. I disregard everything except for him and that’s my mistake. I let my. world revolve around him that I forgot about myself.
I couldn’t answer Yara. She’s very talkative but I admit, she’s fun to be with.
“How many boyfriends did you have, ma’am? I bet you had many boyfriends. You’re just so gorgeous and I can’t help but to be curious about your love life.”
“Yara, continue what you’re doing.”
