65 You Again?

"Come on Chris, we have an important meeting now, we cannot postpone it. You can eat with your friends later."

Mr Wilson had no choice but to leave with the old man.

Adam and I sat at a small cafe. No sooner did we order something than I bombarded him with various questions.

"So Adam, what's his deal with Laura? Like why is he allowing her to order him around?"

Adam did not reply, he just stared at me with a frown.

What? Asking him my questions was the whole purpose of going out for lunch with him.

"Geez, let me eat in peace before you try to get to know about Mr Wilson and build up more feelings for him."

"What? What are you talking about? I do NOT have feelings for him."

"Who are you fooling Lia, I know you, and I know what you are feeling and as painful as it is for me to admit it, it is the truth that you like him." He sipped on some water after he 'made his point'.

"Well, no. You do not know me and I do not like him like you think I do. He is just an acquaintance. Furthermore, he is my boss and I do not want my boss to get pushed around like that."

Adam looked at me like I was a fool. Maybe I was, but I'm not going to admit it.

"Sigh, you- you are troublesome. I wanted you to rethink your decision when I reminded you that you are Amelia and not Luna. You need a reality check. Fine, as your 'friend' I tried to stop you, but I failed. What are your questions?" He had his head down, he looked helpless.

Uhhh, how am I supposed to ask you when you put on that face? I thought I was crystal clear when I told him I was not interested in him. Come on, we are friends; I have fun with you and that is it. I do not see us in a relationship. And the worst part is that Mr Wilson and Adam can be considered friends. Anyway, I got a company to save.

"Laura and Mr Wilson, what exactly is the problem."

"If I tell you, what do I get in return?" He asked with a smirk.

I don't know what I'll give you if you tell me but you are sure getting a punch from me if you don't tell me. Do not test my patience.

"Hmm, nothing. Nope, no. You are not getting anything. Since when did you start 'selling' information?"

"I am forced to do so. My pocket is almost empty and I need money. I am on the verge of being broke." He started fake crying.

What the hell? The top manager of Revolution is almost broke? Then what am I? In poverty? Pfft is this guy playing me and wasting my time?

"Fine, how much?" Why not go with the flow? If this guy asks me real money he is going down. He knows how tight on money I am and on top of that he keeps asking me to treat him to make up for the money he spent on me. Don't get me wrong, the only money he spent on me if when he fed me.

He did not buy me gifts or something.

"Oh, I don't know, a few thousands of dollars."

Do you want me to slap you? Where am I going to get a few thousands of dollars? You think I'm some rich girl? No. For now, I am a humble secretary who's working hard to make ends meet.

"I am not paying you 'a few thousands of dollars' heck I am not gonna be paying you a hundred dollars, not even ten dollars."

He shrugged at me and said, "It's your loss."

What is up with him? Why is he acting up? Why is he behaving so toxic?

"Adam, you answer my question or so help me-"

"Hi!" I could hear a loud sound near my ears. Ouch, what the hell? Do you want me to go deaf? I turned to see who it was. Wow, it's like God hates me. It was Mr Wilson, the person I hate the most. I do not think I hated anyone as much as I hate him. With him here, I will get nothing out of Adam. Sigh. Why Mr Wilson? Why are you here? You eat from top class restaurants, so why are you out here with me when I'm eating food from a food truck?

"Mr Wilson? What are you doing here?" No seriously, what the hell are you doing here? Don't you have a meeting with an important person?

"Why? Am I not allowed to join my employees for lunch?"

Well, out of the thousands of people working for Revolution, it is really a huge coincidence that you are having lunch with us. A big coincidence indeed. Does Mr Wilson believe the excuses he gives?

I know why you are here Mr Wilson and trust me when I say this, things are not going back to the way they were.

"Yeah, you can sit with your employees. It's not like we can ask you to leave now, can we?" I looked at him and mouthed the words, 'Can we?'

Mr Wilson hesitated to sit beside me after seeing how I acted. Well, what were you expecting, Mr Wilson, for me to welcome you with flowers and cupcakes?

"I do this once in a while to raise the morale of my employees." Mr Wilson loosened his tie while he made himself comfortable in the chair. I rolled my eyes at his ridiculous excuse. Really, Mr Wilson? Is that the best you can do? Pathetic.

"So, did you eat Mr Wilson? I heard that you already ate with a very important person. Plus, you may not like the food here. Or water, for that matter. I do not know if it's sanitised to your liking, so its better if you don't touch anything here."

'Ms Brown, please do not hold a grudge against me. Now is not a good time. I'm already feeling down. I know I was wrong, please forgive me.' Mr Wilson thought this. He did not say this. So how the hell am I supposed to know what happens in his head, so I behaved like a jerk to him the whole meal.

What stopped him from apologising to me? Oh, gee I don't know, maybe his ego or his feeling of superiority, his feeling that he's my boss and he should not apologise to me. These are my guesses. Take your pick.

What if that day I called him to tell him about Adam and I? What is his problem? It is none of his business. I would be okay if he rejected me or misunderstood Adam and I but what broke my heart is that he reminded me that whatever happened in Country G was a sham.

I was not his lover in real life, that was just an act. By saying that whatever happened in Country G was a mistake he completely wanted to erase our feelings for each other so yes, I am angry and I stopped caring about him from that moment onwards. The only reason I'm helping him now is because I am a good person, a good secretary, and I have to protect the company that pays me.

I want to tell you about what happens next so badly but the stupid author has the time management skills of a potato and there was a huge event in her college where she had to help out and that's why she could not publish the promised upspree. Do not curse her please because she will be updating it. Look out for it and if she does not do as promised, feel free to hate her T-T
