Mr. Bentely Stark....shit, shit, shit......
" I-I m sorry ....i'm very sorry ....I didn't see who you were ...It just came out wrong...I'm very very sorry......" I apologized , panic etching up in my voice. There goes my source of income .....me and my giant ass mouth.....
" It's okay Miss Stenson , in a way you made a valid point that a drink is not a man's or woman's but merely a drink " He spoke while giving me an amused smile , his eyes appearing as blank as ever . Leaning off at the counter of the bar besides me he glanced at the bar tender over his shoulder and ordered the same drink I was holding in my hand a minute ago. Yep! i slid my glass aside seeing the disastrous outcome of alcohol 'for tonight' . It brings up my sassy sarcastic side to a whole new level.
Not knowing what to do next , I focused my attention on a crack on the mahogany wood which was crafted into this beautiful mini bar counter. The silence between us was filled with the chattering of flashy creatures around us and soft sound of piano coming from the far left corner of the room. Yep ! the room was huge , bigger than my own apartment .My train of thoughts were interrupted by Mr. Stark's voice
" You know, no matter how much you stare intently at that crack , it won't heal like magic ." I looked up towards him to see him grinning at me . I just smiled weakly. I should avoid uttering a word as far as possible .
" So, you here with Mark??"
I nodded in response.Must not speak..........
" You can speak you know. I won't bite . " He spoke.
" I'm sorry "
" stop apologizing"
" sorry sir"
"there again"
" s-"
" There you are. I'm sorry I left you there for so long-" Thank god!!!......Mark appeared from somewhere , he noticed Mr. stark and his body stiffened for a second before he greeted him through gritted teeth.
" Good Evening Mr. Stark . I didn't know you were coming"
" You little rat's-" He acknowledged my presence before shouting again " Why were you not there to interview me . Your little honey boo boo almost died while jogging and doing what was supposed to be your job . "
I sat there awkwardly in between my Boss and Boss's Boss while they glared at each other for a few seconds before bursting in a fit laughter. I was confused , what did just happen?
When their laughter session ended which captured a few more people's attention around us, Mark spoke
" Five thirty in the morning ? you kidding me ? There is a reason I don't ever accept your jogging session invites "
" And what's with calling my junior honey boo boo?" Mark added while raising one of his eyebrows to which Mr. stark replied
" That's our little secret" winking in my direction . wha-.....
" Anyways how's your parents ? Did Sarah and li visit? It's been so long since I've met everyone" Mark said.
well that explains a lot . Both are friends.....
" Well! Sarah and li will visit next month and my mother has been calling you over dinner for so long only if you will pick up the damn phone."
"I've been busy" Mark answered nonchalantly
"Really? How didn't I notice?" Mr. stark retorted .
" Anyways Tony is looking for you . She has got quite a few ideas for your grey wardrobe."
