"Oh... Okay. But you always looked bored when I talked about my friends sometimes." She commented.

Demilade shakes his head, amused. Lola always seems to display that childish part of her. Although it was cute in its own way and even if he never acted like it, deep down he liked it.

"That's because sometimes you overexaggerate some of those things. But I am sincere this time. I miss it. And I miss you too."

Lola smiled, blushing. "I miss you too. Can I come over? I want to see your face." She asked a bit too fast. Her voice sounded hopeful.

"Alright." Demilade agreed, surprising them both. He doesn't know why he agreed to let her come over when he has things to do.

Lola grinned widely. She didn't bother asking him if he was sure. She was not going to give him a chance to change his mind. She was afraid if she asked whether he was sure, he might have a second thoughts about it. And she really wants to see him. The opportunity doesn't come every day. "I will be there very soon. I will text you when I get to the lobby. Love you." And she ended the call before he could reply to her.

Demilade just chuckled looking at his phone screen. Then he dropped his phone still with a smile on his face. Then his PA walked in.

"Sir, the document had been signed by the accounting department and they need your signature," Dayo said immediately after he got to his desk.

"Do I still have a meeting today?" Demilade asked out of the blue.

And his PA looked at him like he was out of his mind. He also noticed something different about him than the way he was that morning. He seem happy and relaxed. But he still couldn't help it and he said.

"Sir, this is the document you requested to be submitted before 12:30 pm," Dayo told him as if to remind him of how important it was.

It was. Demilade had come in that morning requesting it but it wasn't ready. He had yelled at them and the accounting team earlier that morning giving them a deadline to submit it. But he wasn't acting concerned anymore.

Demilade looked at the little clock on his table. It reads 11:43 am. and he turned back to his PA.

"You guys are lucky." He commented. "Give it to me." And his PA did. Demilade dropped it on the table and leaned back and asked again. "Do I still have any meetings today?"

Dayo shrugged not knowing what had gotten into his boss. "You planned to meet with the constructing managers after lunch."

Demilade nodded. "Let them know that I might adjust the timing. I've got plans for later."

"Plans? I thought signing this document and preparing the proposal was the important thing to do for today." Dayo said. Demilade just looked at him.

"You guys can do your job without me yelling, can't you?" He asked with a corner of his brows raised in question.

Dayo cleared his throat and nodded.

"Yes sir."

"Fine then. Do your job and let me do mine. And make sure the last proposal is ready before the end of today. And tell Uche that Lola would be here soon." Demilade said dismissively and he went back to his work.

Dayo replied. "Okay, sir." And he left his presence.

Lola texted her friend that she was going somewhere and they would meet at her shop later in the day. And she left the restaurant. She called an Uber that took her to Demilade company headquarters.
