before more careful

Lisa left her so called family house heart broken, even though she doesn't show it she's really hurt.

How is any of this my fault, I didn't force my mum to leave neither did I force my dad to remarry, why the hate? Lisa asked inwardly.

She wasn't feeling like going back to her apartment so she decided to look for a cool street and cool her mind off.

She sat down on the street seat,with the cool breeze, she felt safe around nature than her so called family. Remembering her father's cold eyes towards her, she felt like never going back there.

You know, this is the best place to cool your mind.

Lisa raised her head to see a stranger standing close to her, she smiled sadly before replying: yeah, never been here but it's pretty cool.

Can I join you? Asked the stranger

Yes, sure Lisa replied gesturing him to sit.

My name is Steve, and you?

Am Lisa

That's a good name Monalisa right?

No Lisa,she answered

Ok, no offense, you can also share your thoughts when you feel burden, it helps.

Thanks, Lisa smiled while receiving the natural breeze.

The were like that for thirty minutes, before Lisa stood up.

Thanks for you company, I appreciate it, I will take my leave.

That's not a problem, why don't I ride home, Steve offered.

While still contemplating, she heard him say"not a question just informing you, let's go I won't bite.

Lisa smiled and followed him, he looks nice and handsome but not to be compared to Grey.

Gosh!!! Why are mine thinking of that cold hearted man.

**************************

It a new week and a new day, as usual work day.

Grey received a call from his receptionist, informing him that his father is here to visit.

Let him in, he said before ending the call

You haven't visited for a while. Mr Simon asked while he sitted.

Why are you here?

Meaning? So a father can't visit his son anymore?

You always have a reason for visiting, let me hear it.

Don't be so cold, your business is doing so well, top one most successful company, you even beat our company, that's my son.

If you are here to shower praises on me, then you may leave, Grey said while gesturing him to the door.

Alright, am here to talk about the engagement.

I knew it, what about it?

You need to get engaged already.

It's that all? Asked Grey while busy signing some documents.

Yes,replied Grey's father.

Am doing this for your company, mine has nothing much to loose if I break the alliance right? The girl is a pain in the ass.

Don't say that, her father is one of the major stake holders and a politician, it will really go a long way for the both companies. Advised Simon.

I will think about it, till then don't disturb me.

What nerves? By the way, your mum misses you, at least call. Mr.Simon stated and left.

Two minutes later, Lisa brought his coffee to him. While dropping it she mistakingly poured the whole content on the table including on her hand.

Am sorry, Lisa apologized while trying to remove all the objects on the desk.

Grey stood up, went to the corner of his office and came back with first aid box.

Give me your hand.

Lisa thought she heard wrongly but before she could think for a sec, he took her hand and applied some ointment on her hand.

I told you that you are clumsy, be more careful next time.

Lisa couldn't believe her ears, was it her imagination or was this man a bit gentle.

Send a cleaner to my office.

Lisa heard him speak to someone on the phone
