Siergo took his leave and I was all alone with Shawn in Siergo’s office.
“Don’t you think you were a little bit rude?” I asked.
“I like to be rude, it is fun,” he stated in a childish tone.
It is not as if I care anyway, I will ignore him just as he does to me. It seems that he was serious about teaching me though, he was reading the documents seriously and he kept explaining several business terms.
I need to know what exactly Gerald told him.
“What did you decide to help me?”
“It is your company, Lily. You should manage it yourself,” he clarified.
“It seems that you went against your father decision earlier though,”
He converted his look from reading the papers and documents into glaring at me.
“Why? Did you think I would listen to my father even if he was at fault?” he retorted.
“I didn’t say that…” I was interrupted by Siergo’s voice who announced the time for lunch.
“We should have a meal together, it has been 4 hours, c’mon let’s take a break,” Siergo said.
“Okay,” I responded.
We followed Siergo to a nearby restaurant. I did not notice that it was the same restaurant where I first met Siergo until I stepped into it. We even sat at the same table I was sitting at back then. The waiter took our orders; I wanted to eat something simple so I ordered a seafood soup.
The waiter soon came back and placed our orders alongside the small dish in where the yellow liquid; the alcohol is. I thanked God that I already know what that thing is, I did not want to embarrass myself in front of Shawn.
“I see you have learned from your previous mistake?” Siergo commented while smiling my way.
I coughed the soup I was about to gulp down my throat, I did not expect him to mention that. This situation would be totally misunderstood by Shawn, he would wonder about how I met Siergo the CEO of the company I did not know I owned until recently.
“Mistake?” Shawn repeated confused by Siergo’s statement.
“Didn’t she tell you that we have met before? She even confessed her feelings to me,” he continued.
“No, that was…”
I did not know what to say honestly, he put me in a weird situation.
“You know that wasn’t my intention,” I corrected.
“Yeah, I know. I just think it was funny,”
Think silently, could you? I wished to tell him so.
