Dennis' POV
I entered the company and decided to check on Mia at her office. It's very early and I'm not sure she has reported to work yet.
I looked through her office and realized she was there. She came very early and still looks moody from yesterday. I wish I knew exactly what was wrong with her.
I have been working in this company for the past five years and I also don't have any friends. I started as nothing and worked hard to get to where I am so I don't joke with my work at all.
I make sure I come to work on time to concentrate on my work and produce very impressive results. And that's why even tho, the CEO hardly talks to anyone, he shows how he is impressed by me all the time.
I have tried dating ladies outside of work. But it never works. I either catch them cheating or they make too many demands and I get tired and ask for a breakup. I don't know why once you make money everyone comes to you because of the money. People don't look at you when you have nothing and they also don't realize how you struggled to get to where you are. No one helps you when you are struggling, they only know you after you have made it.
This is my first time falling in love with a lady at work, and it was love at first sight. I first saw her during the interview. She was nervous and quiet and looking around, staring at the other girls who were trying so hard to get the CEO's attention.
She didn't try to get his attention. I was surprised because I haven't seen any girl not do that upon seeing the CEO before.
I was impressed and fascinated by her beauty too. She has this beauty that makes you want to stare at her all day.
I wasn't part of the interviewers, and I went out to do something and by the time I came back, she was already gone.
I was praying she gets the job so I could be with her, and I wished I had taken her contact.
When I saw her on her first day of work I was so happy and then she approached me to ask for directions to her office. I was glad she did and we have been friends since.
Since yesterday she hasn't been okay and I wonder what is wrong with her. She hasn't said much and has been avoiding being around people since yesterday.
I wish I could ask her but I'm not sure if she will be okay with me asking her.
I entered her office and she didn't even realize it. She was startled after I had called her for a while as she was in deep thought. I greeted her and she responded and smiled at me. She has a very beautiful smile too.
I asked if we could go out for lunch today and she agreed. I was happy and decided to leave her since she looked like she wanted to be alone.
Mia's POV
I came to work today feeling down and I have been like this since yesterday. I haven't had any conversations with anyone because I'm afraid I will end up saying things I wasn't supposed to say.
Dennis entered my office and asked if we could go for lunch. I didn't want to go but I felt bad for going all silent yesterday so I agreed.
I decided to concentrate on my work alone and not think about him.
I was working for a few minutes when I inhaled the scent of a perfume and it could only be from one person, Leo.
I raised my head against my will and saw him passing by.
No matter how my head wants to get over him, my heart is always wanting him.
He looked in my direction and I quickly took my eyes off.
I don't even care whether he greets or not. Oh! I heard he never even greets.
During lunch, Dennis came and we both went for lunch. I tried to act nice and hide my feelings as possible and I'm sure I did it well because he looked happy.
After work, I packed my things and left as usual and drove home straight. I took my bath and ate dinner and decided to call Lovia.
I called her and explained to her that I wanted to see her because I wasn't okay and she agreed that we meet. We planned to go out during the weekend and we talked for a while and after that, we hung up.
I decided to go for a walk because I haven't had anything else to do except to go to work and come back and sleep and go to work again. I stepped out and took a walk to relax my mind. I later bought ice cream on the way and came back home to eat
I called my mum to check up on them and also talked to my mum for a while. My mum asked me to visit them and have dinner as a family since it's been a long time since we did that. I told her I will do that and then we kissed each other goodbye.
I packed my outfit for work the following day and ironed my shirt. I picked my footwear and arranged my stuff.
I went online to chat with some friends and also check what was happening online. I came across a lot of news about Leo, and I remembered what happened at the office and felt hurt again. I wondered if I could ever get him because I loved him so much and I wish he could love me too. I wish he would look at me the way I look at him. I kept thinking about him till I drifted to sleep.
Lovia's POVI looked at Mia as she talked about how she saw Leo in the office having sex with another girl. I looked at her and was so surprised at how she sounded so hurt when Leo didn't even notice her. I have been friends with Mia since childhood and she has no other friends except me. We went to the same high school and tertiary and she is the best friend anyone can ever be with. Even though we both didn't come from a rich home we supported each other and have been there for each other since and I love her so much.The day she came back to talk about meeting someone at the hospital and crushing on the person I felt sad because I knew that once she falls in love with someone, it will be hard for her to get over the person.She loves deeply and she gets hurt deeply too.When her first boyfriend left her, it wasn't easy for her.Now it's Leo, in college, she never stopped talking about him. She talked about him day and night and always followed him on social media. When I got to k
Leo's POVI was shocked to see her there, she didn't strike me as someone who visited the club. She looked so quiet and innocent.I stood rooted to my feet and couldn't move my leg because she looked so beautiful and extremely hot.I wished I could have her in my arms right now.That would also mean I would be breaking my own rules of never having any intimate relationship with an employee. I didn't care about that anymore. I hated to have intimate relationships with employees because I didn't want anything to affect the company I spent years and toil to build.I passed by her as if she never existed. I'm cold and everyone knows that. I had to act like it. I wondered why she kept staring at me as if she was shocked to see me too. I ordered my favorite drinks and turned to realize that she had sat close to her Ryan and I sat. I walked to my seat and sat down and started to drink too.I was stealing glances at her because of how she looked tonight and she also turned to look at me onc
Mia's POVI stirred in my sleep and felt my body touch a warm and masculine body. I smiled and moved closer and hugged the masculine body more. I smiled again. Wait!! A masculine body!! What the hell is a masculine body doing by my side? I got scared immediately and started shivering. I slowly and fearfully opened my eyes and saw Leo sleeping peacefully. I screamed my lungs out and he jumped with a start. I was shocked to see Leo in my house. Leo apologized to me, and immediately I started to remember the events of the previous night and realized that I'm the cause of his presence here in my house.I started apologizing profusely and he also started to apologize and said he didn't do anything which I know and believe he didn't do anything. I even forced him to stay by my side. I remembered pulling him back when he tried to leave. I became extremely embarrassed but still tried to keep a straight face. It was a weekend so I asked him to wash down while I prepare breakfast because I was
Mia's POVI froze when I heard Leo's voice at the other end of the phone. Leo said hello again and I took a deep breath and responded and my voice came out very calmly and low.His voice was so deep and sounded sweet over the phone. I didn't know his voice was this sweet too over the phone.He mentioned my name again and I responded he asked if I was okay and I said Yes. He told me he had gotten home and wanted to let me know and also thanks me for the breakfast and lunch and that he enjoyed it.I blushed and said thank you too. I again apologized for any trouble I might have caused him the previous night at the club and he said he didn't mind and we wished each other good night and hung up. I wished we could talk for a long. I wished I could listen to his voice often.Leo's POVI smiled and dropped the phone. I like that she sounds so cute over the phone and how she looks cute and acts shy anytime she is around me. It made me happy and want to laugh. I don't like friends except for R
Leo's POVShe took a step back when I walked closer to her and shivered. I really like how she behaves shyly around me. She kept walking backwards and I also walked towards her until her back touched the wall and she couldn't move again. I stared deep into her eyes and she also started back with fear in her eyes or so I thought.I stood up and walked to her because she looked very beautiful as I sat from my desk looking at her.It was hard to resist her. Her office attire hugged her tight, bringing out all her curves. I smiled at how she reacted. I looked at her for a while and felt as if she was expecting something but I wasn't sure and didn't want to do anything that she wouldn't like. She asked if I wanted something from her. I almost misinterpreted the question and told her I wanted to have her but I quickly told her about the dinner outing Ryan and I discussed over the weekend to take her and Lovia pit for dinner and she readily agreed.I checked my time and realised it was time
Lovia's POVThe first time I saw Leo up close at the club I was extremely shocked. I wasn't surprised to see him at the club because he was always in the news and even when he went to the club people talked about it and it came in the news too.He looked more handsome in person and cool than I thought . The online pictures didn't do enough justice to his looks as much as he looked in person.He didn't look like someone who would be cold either. His whole appearance and demeanour looked calm. I noticed a guy sitting by him and he was very handsome and I liked him instantly. I was so happy when Leo later introduced him to me as Ryan and said he was his best friend.We exchanged contacts and started talking to each other. I fell in love with him hard and couldn't wait for him to also fall in love with me. I couldn't believe Mia was in love with Leo and I was Mia's best friend and also in love with Leo's best friend. It sounded funny to me and I also felt it was fate and prayed it worked
Mia's POVThe day for our outing finally came and it was an evening outing and at one of the best restaurants in town. I knew Leo had a very good taste and wouldn't disappoint us. I'm very sure the dishes too will be very delicious.I woke up early after a very good night's sleep and did everything I was supposed to do and slept for a while again to feel refreshed and ready for the night, because why not, I was going to see my crush and love. I wanted to always look good for him and so I was always intentional about how I looked and dressed.I was really happy at how things were and prayed things will turn out well.I woke up from my nap and there was still more time to dress up so I started to pick my clothes and footwear for the outing.My phone rang and it was Lovia. She said she wanted to come over to my place so we dressed and went out to dinner together. I wondered if the dinner outing was actually a dinner date for the four of us but then Leo didn't love me and Ryan and Lovia w
Leo's POV Since I was the one who drove us here I had to drive everyone home. I just wanted to be the one to drive us for our outing.We had our meals which were very delicious as usual. After we were done I had to drop us off.I went to drop off Lovia first. Ryan and Lovia looked like they had feelings for each other. They just couldn't take their eyes off each other the entire night we were having the dinner. Lovia had a good sense of humour and Ryan looked happy and smiling throughout.I pray things work out between them because I wanted Ryan to be happy. We both have come a long way in life and have suffered especially when it comes to love and matters of the heart. But Ryan wasn't cold hearted like me. He believed it's part of life and everything happened for a reason. He still didn't mind falling in love and dating again. I didn't mind and believed the same but the pain I experienced was still in my heart. And I have suffered so much in life and it wasn't going to be easy for m
