Fated Destiny ✔️

The negotiation [10]

I spent the rest of the week with Rosie at home being a little because Thalia was out with her crush at the beach. It was alright though because Rosie baked cookies with me and then we watched Kung Fu Panda all afternoon.

When she told me that I had feelings for Andrew on Saturday, I was afraid of it and didn't know how to react because I was afraid of rejection.

But Rosie comforted me and assured me that I didn't have to let Andrew know about these feelings now because I've only started to work with him for three weeks now and met him five weeks ago when I bumped into him.

Thinking back to it, I still didn't pay for his suit.

By the time Monday came around, I was actually looking forward going to work. And I don't know what made me buy one extra coffee this morning, but I did.

Since I always arrived before Andrew came in his office but only by a couple minutes, I quickly placed the coffee on his desk and left it not a minute later to start organizing the new files I've already received, like every morning.

"Good morning, Camille," I heard him suddenly say and bumped my head against my desk when I duck down to get my lipgloss that fell down when I took it out of my bag.

"Ouch!" I exclaimed and heard someone burst out into laughter. I quickly snatched my lipgloss and pouted to see Andrew still chuckling to himself.

He tried to mask it with his hand and a cough though. Too bad I already caught him laughing at me. Now I regret buying him coffee, hmph.

"Good morning to you as well, sir," I said in monotone with a Pokerface. His chuckling immediately subsided, "sir?" He repeated after me confused and I nodded my head.

"Yes, mr Queen, it seems like you've forgotten we're at work," I emphasized and he immediately got it, "right. Yes, miss Grace...uh, I'll be in my office then." He said awkwardly and walked into his office quickly while now it was my turn to stifle a laugh.

After I calmed down from the situation, I began with my first file as I proof-read it and then signed it off to later give it to Andrew.

And things were like this for the next few hours until I got a reminder notification of the meeting with Mrs. Janson in ten minutes.

I took the files I already finished organizing and reading from last night and this morning with me while I made my way to Andrew's office.

With a knock, Andrew told me to come inside and I did. I saw he was currently on a phone call with someone and signed me with his index finger that he's almost done.

"Yes, I'll make sure to be home on time today, mom. Yes, I understand. Alright, bye. Love you," he hung up and sighed a bit upset.

"My mom just won't stop calling me," he said and I stifled a laugh but smiled instead. When he saw my expression, he also smiled.

"What is it?" He asked and reminded me of why I am here in the first place, "right, uh, your meeting with Mrs. Janson starts in about ten minutes and these are the files you have to sign again."

Andrew nodded his head and ordered me to leave the files on his desk while he stood up from his seat to head to the meeting with me trailing behind him.

We only walked the distance to the middle of my desk when he suddenly stopped on his tracks, "sir?" I questioned. He didn't acknowledge me though and only stared ahead.

I turned my head to see what got his attention to see a beautiful woman leaning against the front of my desk.

She wore almost the same things as me, only with more expensive clothing and better style, paired with a pair of sunglasses.
