Ronald"s at lost for words after seeing the texted message from Jeff . " This guy is something . " Ever since he got together with boss lady, he"s been acting weird . " He shakes his head then started chuckling .
The Jeff that Ronald knows was perceived by others as a reserve, aloof, detach and never shown emotion in front of people around him . One could say he"s cold-hearted, especially when it comes to business .
However, ever since Jeff met Ann four years ago, He changed drastically, and Ronald can"t comprehend the new person he is now . "I guess that"s what happens when a person falls in love; I hope I don"t become like him in the future" Ronald was trying to convince himself .
Ronald was almost at Ann"s place when It dawned to him that he doesn"t have a key . "Where am I supposed to take all this fresh food? It"s a problem; he needs to find a way somehow, but how?" He thought about calling Ann, but in the end, he just took all the food with him and went back to work .
Same thought that Ronald"s was having, currently clouding Ann"s mind . They were in a hurry to get away from the ma.s.ses that it slipped her mind . A thought came to Ann, "Honey! Do you still have that spare key to the condo? We forgot to give one to Ronald, and he"s probably in a dilemma right now . "
"I do! But it"s at home, I didn"t think I would need it any longer, so I put it in one of the drawers in my study . I"ll call him right now and let him know where it is . " Jeff took out his phone and called Ronald .
Since it"s still early both of them had gone back to their own perspective companies to take care of whatever business at hand .
Lea was giving Ann dirty look when she walks in at her office . "What"s with the look?" Ann asks .
"What look? This?" Lea scowled
"Someone finally remembers that she"s supposed to be running the company not running around . You"re probably gallivanting through town with a hot and s.e.xy CEO . " Lea rolled her eyes then, "Hmmpt!" Turn around and went to her desk to emote .
Ann followed Lea . "I"m sorry! I had errands, and you were busy, so I didn"t bother to tell and took off without saying goodbye . However, let me a.s.sure you that you will love it! " Ann excitedly told Lea .
Lea"s face brightens after hearing what Ann said; She"s curious now . "What it is? Tell me, what is it? did you go to the doctor and they told you that you"re pregnant?" She asks with sparks in her eyes .
Ann couldn"t tell Lea the truth; she had to make up stories . "If you must know, yes I"m with a s.e.xy and hot CEO just now . Along with his handsome and sweet a.s.sistant . We went to grocery stores and . . . " She was interrupted by Lea .
" Oh! Ya, I forgot! Ronald sent me this picture . " She took out her phone and looked for the picture that Ronald sent her .
"See! look! That"s you! Isn"t it? Where"s, was this picture taken? And the girl, I remember her . She"s the one that had asked you for a picture at the mall, right?"
Ann"s didn"t know that Ronald had sent a copy to Lea . "Let me see? "Hmmm" He sure is a handsome man . Hahaha! Send me a copy too, please! I want a souvenir to show to my grandchildren someday . "
Lea was shocked by Ann"s reaction after showing the picture . "That"s It, that"s all you got to say . So, what"s this picture about?" She"s walking around Ann in circles wanting for some answer .
"Oh! We just had a nice walk, and the lady saw me and recognizes me . Wallah! We had a picture together . Let it go alright!" She patted Lea"s shoulder and walked away .
"By the way, don"t plan anything tonight . I missed our bonding; I thought we could have dinner together what do you say?" Ann is looking at Lea"s reaction while waiting anxiously .
Lea"s face brightens with a grin on her face . "You going to have dinner with me tonight? You better not be kidding me or you will get it . "
"Yes! And we are cooking the food that we"re going to eat . " She didn"t inform her that there will be some company as well .
"Hurry up! we have a lot of cooking to do . " She yelled as she was preparing to go home .
Lea was excited, she hurried up and finished what she was doing . Once all in order, she grabs her purse and calls for Ann . "Let"s go! Girls night! Hahaha!"
"That"s what you thought . Just wait and see when we get there . " Ann secretly smiled to herself .

At the condominium, Ronald finished unpacking all the groceries . He laid it all out to check one by one in case they forgot something, at least he would still have time to go out and get it before they arrive .
He took out the list that Ann hands him earlier for the dinner menu:
Appetizer: Caprese Tomatoes
Soup: Clam chowder [New England style]
Salad: Romaine lettuce tossed with Italian vinaigrette for dressing .
Main course: Roast Salmon with Truffle / a side dish of cream spinach and roasted asparagus tip .
Dessert: Fresh Strawberry with whipped cream and cookies on top [Lea"s favorite]
Wine: Oak-aged Chardonnay or Pinot noir
Ronald checked to make sure that all ingredients needed were there . After reviewing back and forth countless of time, he"s finally satisfied .
He put the Wine to chill and started preparing all the utensil they will be using .
Ronald was thinking . " All is ready, the only thing that"s missing where the rest of the party; When suddenly he heard the doors open .
"Ready or not, here we come!" Ann yelled as she comes into the door to warn Ronald of their presence .
Ronald didn"t know what to do . He"s so nervous that he"s hyperventilating . . .
