10. Meet Her Again

"Sir?" The cafe worker calls Christian several times because the man is silent.

Christian sees the woman he met five years ago at the hospital. The woman who was about to commit suicide. Christian's heart beats at an unnatural rate again.

Christian holds his chest. He wondered why it was always like this. It was five years ago, and he still feels the same way.

"Miss, do we know each other?" asked Christian.

The cafe worker turned out to be Natasha. She works at a cafe near the Gibson Holding Company building five years later. Actually, she just moved to the cafe in this place. Usually, she is in another location.

"I am sorry, I don't know you, Sir," replied Natasha.

Natasha doesn't even remember that she and Christian met at the hospital. Feels a little disappointed. Even though Christian had ordered Jonas to look for this girl.

"Excuse me, Sir. How about your order? The queue is long. Please make room for other customers," said Natasha.

"Oh yes." The credit card still in his hand was immediately handed over to Natasha, and Christian was waiting for his latte.

Christian keeps his eyes on Natasha, who is preparing coffee for him. How could this have happened? Who exactly is this girl? Why did he make Christian feel weird? This girl is very ordinary. It's different from the women that Christian often dates, but why does it keep making his heart beat fast?

"Please, Sir," said Natasha, carelessly giving up her order of latte and a device to press her credit card pin.

Christian immediately presses several keys. In just a few minutes, the payment is complete.

"Here's a number you can call, Sir. If the courier you ordered is ready to pick up another latte, I'll prepare it. So it can stay warm later," said Natasha kindly.

Her face is friendly, but Christian sees the blank look in his eyes. This woman is just being professional. She didn't really want to be friendly.

"Sir, get out of the way. We have to get some coffee too!" The customer behind Christian tells him to leave immediately because it's taking too long.

Christian turns around. He glanced at the woman behind him. "Don't you know what queuing is?" snapped Christian.

"You've got your coffee and made your payment. Why are you still standing here? If you want to seduce the workers here, do it outside working time!"

Natasha saw the fight and was indifferent, but her boss saw this. Robert, the cafe owner, recognizes Christian because he is a regular customer. Moreover, he knows Christian is the CEO at Gibson Holding Company.

"Mr. Christian, we're sorry. If you want to talk to Natasha, we'll make time for you," said Robert.

"Natasha? So your name is Natasha," Christian murmurs. Suddenly his phone rang. Christian remembers the meeting that is about to start.

Christian suddenly has an idea. He didn't have to ask Jonas to pick up the rest of the latte he ordered. "Robert, have her take my order to the office!" said Christian.

"Okay, Sir. I'll ask her upstairs," said Robert.

Christian hastily left because Jonas had already called him. Natasha watched Christian leave. She didn't feel like he knew the man. Why would Christian want her to deliver the order to him?

***

Christian is having a meeting in the boardroom. He looks so serious listening to the presentation from Alex, the marketing manager at this company. Moments later, there was a knock on the door.

Everyone in the meeting turned towards the door. No one is allowed to enter during the meeting except in an emergency. It was a rule made by Christians. Then who is knocking on the door?

Jonas, who was standing near Christian, immediately opened the door. A woman forced the uniform of the cafe clerk in the building next door to stand in front of the meeting room door. Of course, it was Natasha who brought Christian's nine lattes.

Jonas was surprised to see Natasha. He must have remembered the poor woman he had met five years ago.

"I came to deliver Mr. Christian's order," said Natasha.

Jonas turned to his boss. He closed his eyes. Even though Jonas had deliberately not looked for Natasha for Christian's sake. Jonas doesn't want Christian to approach a woman who already has a husband.

Christian sees Natasha, who has come. He snapped fingers at Jonas for the woman to enter and place her coffee on the conference table.

"Bring it in!" Christian orders.

Jonas had no choice but to follow Christian's words. Natasha was allowed in. The girl immediately placed Christian's order on the table.

"I bought you lattes," Christian says. And, of course, got a smile from the employees.

"Mr. Chris is the best!" said one female employee.

Natasha was silent. Even though Christian stared at her from the moment she entered until the girl put the glass one by one to everyone in the room.

Jonas sees the way Christian looks at Natasha. In fact, he was surprised too. Whenever asked, Christian's answer is unclear. He had never confessed to having a crush on this woman, but he was struck by an extraordinary curiosity.

"Miss, when you're done, please come out." Jonas gave directions to Natasha.

"Yes, Sir," replied Natasha.

Christian briefly pouts when Jonas asks the girl out. Even though he still wanted to observe Natasha's whereabouts.

Natasha just walked out of the meeting house. Alex wanted to continue his presentation again. Jonas had closed the door again, but suddenly Christian stood up.

"W-what is it, Sir?" asked Alex, who was surprised at Christian's behavior.

"Meeting is adjourned. I'm not feeling well," Christian says. He immediately left the meeting room. The pace is fast, as if chasing something.

Jonas did not remain silent. He immediately followed Christian. He is annoyed that Christian had to leave the meeting because of a woman.

"Chris! Stop!" Jonas runs after Christian. Unfortunately, Christian has already entered the elevator, where there is also Natasha. There were only two of them in the elevator.

"S-Sir?" muttered Natasha. She wonders why Christian looks in such a hurry.

"Tell me one more time. Do you know me?" asked Christian. "Have we met before?"

Natasha really doesn't understand why Christian is so obsessed with her. "I am sorry, no, Sir. I couldn't possibly have known a rich person like you," Christian says.

Christian is disappointed by Natasha's answer. Even if this woman is lying, maybe Christians will believe it.

"Then why are you bothering me?" said Christian loudly.

"Bothering you? Sorry, sir. Didn't you come to me? How could I bother you?" asked Natasha. For a long time, she suspected Christian would have bad intentions toward her.

Christian's chest is pounding. Especially when looking into Natasha's eyes. How could this happen? Christian felt a tug of extraordinary feelings whenever he looked at the girl.

"I wanted to confirm something," Christian says.

"What?" Natasha was getting more and more clueless.

Suddenly Christian grabs Natasha's chin and kisses her on the lips.
