Lena's POV
As soon as JP was on the train heading back to Leeds I emailed work and put in a request for some time off and I had been granted four days annual leave I decided not to tell JP I wanted to surprise him. It was in two weeks time and I was literally on countdown.
We spoke everyday loads of times during the day to be fair along with text messages but it wasn't the same I physically missed him my body yearned for him I missed everything about him.
The day I was driving up I rang him quite early the normal chat including what his work schedule was he confirmed he was in meetings until 13:00PM and then he was working on some accounts in the afternoon at the office. This was pretty standard of me to ask about his day so he would not suspect a thing. With my holdall packed I say goodbye to my Auntie and set off to drive up to Leeds with help from my Sat Nav. I was buzzing knowing that I would see my JP today.
After nearly four hours on the road I pull into the car park of Baker International parking in one of the visitors bays. I was impressed very state of the art building I walk in to the reception area which was beautiful, modern, fresh and clean.
As I approach reception I see the receptionist giving me the once over. Yes I had dressed to impress but in a sophisticated and classy way.
"Good Afternoon may I help you " The receptionist asks me in a fake way, she must be about 22 years old I reckon.
"Hi yes, I am here to see Mr Brooker" I reply smiling at her.
"Your name please" she doesn't ask she questions.
"Carlene Chandler" I reply.
"Do you have an appointment?" She asks knowing full well I do not.
"No I don't" I reply.
"Well I'm sorry but Mr Brooker does not accommodate walk in's he has meetings all day" She replied sarcastically.
"Oh my mistake he told me he was engaged until 13:00PM it is fine I will call him then" I say politely walking over to take a seat in the reception area.
Ten minutes I have to wait until 13:00PM. The receptionist "Bianca" her name on her badge comes over to me and says to me quietly.
"You can leave I will let Mr Brooker know you visited".
I look her straight in the eyes what is this jobsworths problem?
"No it's ok sweetheart Mr Brooker will want to see me" I replied to her in a patronising tone, fucking cheek trying to get rid of me.
The reception area is getting busy with staff around heading out for lunch but JP was not one of them.
It has gone 13:00 PM and I call JP's mobile straight to voicemail. I pull out his business card from my purse and call his direct line which is diverted before I can hang up the call is answered.
"Good Afternoon Mr Brookers Office how may I help?" It was a female voice that had answered.
"Hi..um I wondered if JP ...I mean if Jon-Paul was available please" I reply cringing.
"He has stepped out to lunch..is that a London accent I detect? The female asks me.
"Um yes" I reply.
"Is that Lena by any chance?" the female asks and my stomach dropped...had he told his work colleagues about me?
"Yes...yes it is" I reply laughing a little.
"Oh Lena nice to speak with you I am Pamela Jon's PA shall I tell him you called"? she asks.
"Um yeah...well actually I am downstairs in reception I thought I would travel up and surprise him" I replied.
