Why were they having this conversation?Food was the one thing she doesn't have an intensive knowledge of. Any food quiz she is bound to fail.Most of the food at home was prepared by Gran Karen other times, she mostly took takeouts and prepared the only thing she was good at for Sam.Either making a salad or sandwich would do until Gran Karen brought the food she home-cooked. Samantha loved Gran Karen food and besides, she doesn't have time to cook.The last time she stood by the stove, things got burnt and wasted.Wait, he called her Aly, she almost missed that."Hmm, I don't know why I don't believe you." She raised her eyebrows at that statement and snorted. She was grateful he suspects her, that way he would drop the topic."Tell me, Aly, what is your favorite food?""I love all food... And quit calling me Aly," She sighed sipping her glass of water."What do you take regularly?" He furthered and she felt agitated, she wasn't here for a question and answer session.Just answer hi
Removing her little luggage from the car, Alison strolled her way into Gran Karen's gate after pressing the security code on the electronic gate. Wanting to surprise both her grandmother and Sam she came two hours earlier than expected boarding a plane, on her other hand was a plastic bag containing Samantha's favorite caramel chocolate, she also brought some airport souvenirs.Finally, reaching the door she dropped her bags and rang the doorbell.Waiting, she thought back at her exclusive night with Leonardo, it brought goosebumps afresh on her naked arms. For a moment she wanted to be engulfed back into his jacket, inhaling his sweet smell embedded in the jacket. She wanted his hands back on hers and that reassuring smile he throws at regular intervals.Did he forget she was another plain woman? She was nothing compared to the women he might have dated. He scared her by thinking he might have feelings other than friendship for her. She was not sure of how to accommodate that.Who ta
"Sir your drink." The air attendant stood before him as he slowly opened his eyes and saw the drink stretched to him. He collected it and the air hostess left him almost immediately. The sound of his jet blended with his thoughts as he sipped slowly, his lip resting on the rim of the fancy glass.Closing his eyes again he thought about her. Alison, he had her more on his mind these days.Its been three days, three days without seeing her and he was starting to feel an ache.Dropping the drink on its holder, he brought out his phone and scrolled through his contacts. He stared at the number he saved as Aly.He never dared to call her, would she pick up. Would she be mad?She might wonder how he got her number?Of course, her file helped him, but he had a feeling this wasn't her personal number.What was the harm in trying? It might be or it might not. There is only one way of finding out.Calling her.A part of him told him a little bickering between them is more than enough to fill
Alison ran after Sam as she bolted out of the bathroom, without her clothes. Her giggling filled the whole house. They were back at home and Sam found it deemed to return to her naughty ways.Her wet hair slapped on her back and her bum reverberated as she ran, Alison tried to hasten up her steps but she has to admit that Sam is a whole lot faster than her."Samantha slow down, you might fall," Alison cautioned but her warning was thrown to the winds. Samantha only increased her momentum, giggling as her little feet padded on the wooden floor. Alison paused to take her breath, watching, she wasn't going to harm herself or trip and fall. Finally, Samantha excitement boiled down and she slumped on the chair tired. Alison noticed this and takes that as a cue to finally get her to wear her dress. She ruffled the dress over her head and place her arms in place. For her hair, she weaved it into two French braids, Sam that gleamed at her mother and chatted with Doris.Since they left Gran
"Hey, what about the designs, are they ready?" Alison asked Paige who walked as fast as she could trying to catch up with Alison at the same time checking up on all the documents. "Yes they are ready, I printed the drafts both in hard and soft copy the files are in the box well packaged. You have nothing to worry about," she assured. Alison nodded, today was the last day at her old office. She signed a temporary transfer with Paige to the new office at the branch in Upper East Side. Alison and Paige checked on all their important documents, all the permits, the transfer file and the finalization of Mr Wilson work were sent in today. The new design for the renovation of his hotel was sent in today, so Paige has no worry or other disruption for their new job. Initially, Mr Wilson could not contain the surprise on his face as it was sent a bit earlier than the agreed time, and it was perfect, with no errors. Everything suit his liking. Now concentrating on Leonardo's project, Alison
Alison strolled her luggage along with the airport terminal floors, announcements being called occasionally. Pausing, she waited for Paige, who smiled apologetically at her. "Sorry for the delay. Just had to get this for Spence." She wriggled a little foreign object. "Spence loves this, this is his special collection, he would be bumped if I could not bring one." Spence was Paige fiancé. Alison smiled, "I am not annoyed, let's go get a cab." Paige nodded, strolling along with Alison looking for a cab, "I don't see any," Paige muttered. Just then a man held a board with a huge writing FORT and ARCH, who looked like a driver. He wore an all-black outfit, his hair a bit blond. He had a bright smile on his face as he approached them. Alison stared at him warily, security conscious, "Hi, you must be Ms Alison," "Yes, and this is Paige." she pointed to Paige who waved mildly. "Hi, I am Garret, I was asked by Madam Rebecca to bring you two to your hotel." Alison stared at him confu
It was three days, three days since he was supposed to return to New York, but it seemed like the universe doesn't want him to. He was hoping finally today was the day, well it turned out not to be as continuous business proposals kept throwing themselves at him, he never expected his restaurants would want to be franchised by every luxury hotel in Italy. His new personal assistant Nathan did a good job in sorting the unwanted from the wanted.Well, most of the proposal he got to incorporate his restaurants into hotels was mostly rejected.Well, the ones that stood a chance were the ones that most resembled his brother strategic business plan. Wine brands threw themselves at him when they heard about it.It created a kind of ruckus in Italy since it was the first known reunion of the Adriano brother after a scandalous fight that was sold to every tabloid in the world.Since their reunion is mostly positive, different investors from all over were convinced that investing now might brin
Alison could not control the rate of her heartbeat when she saw Leonardo. Her excitement doubled at his sight.Why was she feeling this way? She felt anxious all of a sudden and her legs refused to move.He waved at you, go greet him. She tried but she was glued to the floor. He looked so handsome in his blue shirt and dark jacket. He had this blissful smile on his face.She felt embarrassed at her inability to move towards him. Waving back, she walked back to her make-do office in the site.She drew a chair, heaved, and glanced discreetly at the place where Leonardo stood. It was deserted, well she could only blame herself for that.For goodness sake he was her client, the best thing she could do even in a formal relationship was to go say hi to him. No, she chickened out.This was the reason she hated to mix personal relationships with business.A friend of a day and suddenly she can't move again.She signed off some papers Paige left for her. Paige went on an errand with Johnson,
