Destined to be together

Chapter 16

This is weird, why is he talking to me?

No one has talked to me like this before.

What am I supposed to say?

I blankly stared at him, my anxiety rising up.

Speak.

Say something.

Anything.

Answer him, don’t just sit here.

He waited to look at me for some response.

I finally gathered my courage and answered.

“I-I’m A-April.” my voice shaking from nervousness.

Why the hell am I so nervous?

He let out a chuckle

“Relax, I’m not going to eat you.”

He continued eating his food while I sat there staring at him.

“So, you are from which department?”

“I-mmm I am in the marketing department.”

“Uhmmm….” he nodded.

“Are you new here?”

“I have never seen you here before.”

“Y-yes…”

“You’re not a talkative one aren’t you?”
he asked finishing off his food.

His blue eyes looking directly at me.

I quickly looked down.

He let out a soft chuckle.

He quickly stood up.

“I gotta go back to work now, my break is over so see you tomorrow kiddo.”

He ruffled my hair giving a heartwarming smile showing his perfect pearly white teeth and walked off of the cafeteria living me completely blank.

What the hell just happened?

I sat there completely clueless having no idea how to react when my phone beeped.

[Mr. Martínez] “In the office. Now.”

I let out a sigh picked up my half-eaten sandwich and headed towards the office.

It’s currently 7:15 PM.

It’s been five long hours that we are working like crazy.

Apparently, he has some presentation to do tomorrow so the company can get this big deal which would be highly beneficial.

I wanna go home.

“April is the report ready?”

“Uhm.. yeah I-it’s almost done..”

“come on make it quick, we have a lot left to do.”

“y-yeah”

Ugh….

He’s been ordering me like I am some freaking machine and have like 20 hands or something.

“Stop daydreaming and just do the work. quick”

He shouted pointing at his watch.

I swear I’m going to rip his head off if he screams at me one more time.

I furiously started typing on the computer.

I looked up from the hip of papers currently scattered all over my table and looked ahead to see Mr. Martínez getting his jacket off and throwing it on his chair and all I could think of was WOW.
