Chapter Two
At his office
Julia's POV
Mr Persus was already seated in his office waiting. He was my boss's one time business partner and they really get along well with each other. They were more or less like friends with different personalities. Mr Persus's much of a talker,the flirty type and a jovial man compared to Harrison, my boss.
I quietly entered greeting him then placing Mr Harrison's briefcase on his desk ready to set up his laptop and arrange his documents.
"Ahh.. always beautiful Ms Davis", I heard Mr Persus say while I was turning on my boss's laptop.
"Stop flattering me Mr Persus", I told him while he laughed .
"I'm not and you need to let Harrison know that you're the reason I keep waiting at his office",He said while I shook my head to show how unbelievable that he is.
"The man with a big P !!",my boss enters with his arms stretched to embrace Mr Persus. Mr Persus got up from his seat to reciprocate his greetings.
"It's good to see you man",Mr Persus said happily.
"Likewise ", I heard Harrison ,my boss say
"Looking good as usual",Mr Persus complimented him.
"Thank you so much", Harrison said as he goes round to his desk to take a seat after I had set everything up for his use .
"You kept me waiting for long",Mr Persus complained.
"I'm so sorry but we need to finish up the unfinished businesses we have on our plate today", Harrison said while I stood at the left side of his desk next to the door with my hands on my sides waiting for him to dismiss me. I listened to them talk about thing or two.
"Uh Julie?
"Yes sir?
"Please get Mr Persus and I lunch , we'll be here for awhile.
"Ok sir", I said matching out of the office to order and take delivery.

Harrison's POV
"So umm... I told you..", I began to say but was interrupted by Persus
"I like that girl, Julie. "She's smart, beautiful and intelligent, all I want in a woman",Persus said still looking at Julie's retreating figure disappearing as she went out to grab lunch for us.
I pursed my lips looking at him.
"Boss, please don't fall in love with her here . I need her here and I want you to focus on our meeting as well ", I told him. Sensing my distaste in the way he behaved he looked at me and smiled widely.
"I'm focused",He said grinning.
"How are you focused when you are checking Julie out".
Persus laughed shaking his head.
"This isn't funny Persus and you know".
"For goodness sake, all work and no play huh?", He said still laughing and shaking.
"I'm serious", I said glaring at him.
Knowing my expression too well when I get serious, he stopped joking around ,took a file of documents from his briefcase and faced me since he sat across from me.
"Ok let's start"

Julia's POV
I took my phone out calling the delivery guy.
"Hello, where are you?", I said asking the delivery guy.
On my way ma'am
"Ok boss needs his lunch
Got it meet me on the street.
"Ok fine I'm walking out of the office right now to the streets. Bye", then I hanged up
"Hi Julia", I turned to meet my boss's girlfriend Kate who held a worried expression.
"Hi", I responded looking at her .
"But ,what brings you here. "Is anything the matter?
"It's Harrison. "I called him in the morning",she said while I sighed and placed a hand on my temple.
"I was there", I told her looking at her mirroring her worried expression.
"So-so you heard how he spoke to me?",she asked.
"Yes
"I just want him to understand that I'm not here to disturb him",she trailed off sighing audibly along.
"Is that why you came?"
"Yes",she said and I sighed irritated by the way my boss treats his women and how those women won't just back off.
"Kate, honestly, he's in a business meeting with his partner. I don't think he'll have time for you today. His table's full .
"Ok I should just quickly see him?
"Look, I'm trying to let you know that he doesn't have time. Like I just said, his table's full", I said to her.
"Are you trying to say that I should go?",she asked with her expression changed.
"Uh no. What I'm saying is.....fine. Kate, why don't you call him tomorrow, let's just say around 2 or 3pm. By then, he'll be done with his meetings then who knows, he can invite you to his place for dinner. If he does that fine.
"Ok great idea",she said her face immediately brightening up .
"Um, sorry I have to grab lunch for my boss", I said excusing myself to go pick up the order.

At the office
Harrison's POV
"Also we asked him for his expansion with strategic partnership and um...increased profit ability",Persus explained his view while I sat there listening to him.
"Exactly what I'd suggest but you know what we're talking about isn't it?", I asked him with my brow raised.
"Yeah. We're talking basically about ideas, activities, minitiator and good business strategies alternatively to umm..help business growth and increase revenue. An advise to someone",he said nodding his head and typed a thing or two on his laptop.
I kept what he said into consideration.
"Hmm... you're right-", I trailed off but was interrupted when a knock came at the door to reveal the last person I want to see right now especially when I'm in the middle of an important discussion.
What nonsense is this
"Hey, I'm I interrupting something?. I saw Julia on my way and hi babe",Kate said as she came close to where I sat to touch me but I put my hand up to stop her from doing so.
"Yes, is everythirng ok?", I asked looking at her
She sighed and whined.
"Babe,it was about this morning",she said still whining.
"Allow me give you guys a minute", Persus said as he gets up leaving the office.
I nodded and sighed not happy at all that she had to show up in front of me at my office whereas I made everything clear to her.
"Kate? I thought I told you I don't like being interrupted when I'm working?
