Love At First Sight

"See you soon, Kev. Keep in touch", Atlantis replied while hugging Kevin.

"Ahem. Can we go now, At?", Enrico sarcastically emphasized "At".

Atlantis creased her eyebrow with how Enrico is acting. She replied, "Yes, Sir." She started to walk but turned back again to wave goodbye to Kevin. Enrico noticed that and couldn't help saying, "You really missed that guy, huh. You couldn't stop hugging him."

Atlantis replied enthusiastically without noticing the jealous tone of her boss, "Oh yes, Sir! Have not seen that jerk for a long time."

Enrico looked smugged. Why the hell does this girl cannot take a hint that he's pissed off. He then hold Atlantis' hand and walked a little fast while saying, "Let's have lunch. I'm hungry."

Atlantis seemed to be surprised with Enrico's mood and his actions. Why does it seem that he looks mad. And why the hell he is holding her hand again and walking very fast. Two can always have moods. He couldn't keep on holding her hands as if they are normally doing it. And to think that they are in a public place. His friends from the alta sociedad might see them and raise their eyebrows. She couldn't stop herself voicing out, "Sir, let my hand go. I'll come with you but please free my hand."

Enrico felt surprised by her tone. This is the first time someone directly tells him what to do using a forceful tone. So he looked at her in the eyes and said, "No. I'll hold your hand to make sure nobody will stop you again."

Atlantis replied seriously, "Then, eat lunch alone Sir."

"Are you defying your boss?", Enrico replied using the best tactic he could. Telling her who's the boss. But he almost lost his words with how smart Atlantis comeback was.

"You're not acting like my boss though. A boss do not hold his employee's hand.", Atlantis replied raising her eyebrow. ""Act like one, BOSS. LET.MY. HAND.GO"

Enrico couldn't stop admiring this brave woman in front of him. He should be offended that Atlantis talks to her that way. He's the upperhand but this lady couldn't be silenced with a threat. So he decided to let her hands go. He really wanted to take this woman for lunch. It's been a long time since he had eaten with someone. He said while releasing here hands. "Okay. No more stopping."

"And no more holding any of my hands.", Atlantis added. Enrico just smiled and said, "Let's go."

The outside of the office building have different restaurants. Enrico chose the European one. "Table for two.", he commanded the waiter.

The waiter ushered them into a table where only a few people can see them. Seems like the waiter know that these two needs some time alone. The waiter tried to move the chair for Atlantis but Enrico stopped him, "Stop. I'll do it." After moving out the chair he faced Atlantis and said, "Take your seat."

Atlantis to her surprised of a very gentlemanly act of her boss just said, "Thank you, Sir."

After Enrico took his seat, the waiter did the drill and wait for their order.
