When they were walking out of Jeff"s office all the secretaries outside we"re all staring at them wondering who this beautiful woman is next to their CEO " is she the woman that was mentioned in the news not long ago?" One lady asks the girl next to her cubicle. " You mean the one with the face masks and sungla.s.ses they saw coming out of the private elevator? Too bad they were not able to take a picture so we can compare it if there"s similarity". The other girl replied. Not realizing they were speaking too loud.
Jeff heard the comment and stopped for a moment then turned around and gave them a stern cold look then said: " it seems that I"m not giving you enough works to do to have enough time to gossip. Tell me, do you all want to keep your job?" He did not wait for the answer and just strode out off the building Ann in tow.
Inside at the backseat of the car: "Do you have to be so mean to them, a warning would have been sufficient you didn"t have to scare them you know!". Ann looks at Jeff with the sparkling green eye so beautiful. They are only an inch apart, so close that he feels like he"s drowning.
"My dear wife I was not mean to them okay! I was informing them that I"m paying them to work not to gossip especially if it"s about us they are none of their business". Jeff, told Ann so sweetly that Ants will want to eat him up. Jeff pulled her to his embrace and held her until they arrive at the restaurant.
Finally, they arrived at the restaurant, everyone"s face lit up when they saw the two of them walking in they all must be very hungry already. Jeff seated himself at the head of the table while CEO Tan on his left and Sophia Tan on his right. Claudia Tan is sitting next to her father and very unhappy with the arrangement because she wants to sit right next to Jeff which is not an option.
Ann"s seat is in between Leah and Sophia Tan "her mother" She"s was doing her best not to have interaction nor a conversation with Sophia, but faith is not on her side today. Jeff, not knowing the full relationship between them, suggested a commercial promotion with a Mother and Daughter tandem. He even went as far as commenting on their similarity that they can pa.s.s as Mother and Daughter easily the people will believe without question.
CEO Tan agreed on what Jeff said about looking like a Mother and Daughter:" what Ann looks like now is how Sophia looks back in the old days when they first meet in College. " he"s wondering what kind of relationship do this two had and wanted to find out."
Ann just smiles and glance at her Mother without saying anything. Then gave Jeff a killer looks.?
Claudia thought Jeff was talking about her and Sophia and was excited about. It: " I believed it a good idea, Jeff!". Looking at him like a little deer ready for the slaughterhouse. She did not realize her mistake until Sophia replied: " Sure why not it will be good for Ann, to get some exposure. I don"t mind at all; I don"t have any endors.e.m.e.nt nor engagement anytime soon anyway, how about it Ann?"
Here goes again Ann: "???. ? ? ?????"
"It"s not a bad idea I can discuss it with my manager and I will get back with you if that"s alright with you". Ann replied without making eye contact with Sophia.
Sophia did not get another chance to speak with Ann when the lunch was finished they said their goodbyes and went their separate ways. " She cannot understand the emotion that"s crawling little by little inside her heart right now is like yearning for something precious of an item that she had lost or given away and wanna get it back." Her heart is aching right now!
