“ Mr. William why don't you take a seat,” I said getting into my professional tone, I walked across my desk taking a seat myself I handed him a file that had all our plans, the way we would construct his hotels, he looked at it reading it peacefully, while I interrupted him occasionally to make him understand better, he looked at me with an expression I couldn't figure out, Jessica noted down the changes he wanted and Matthew his assistant did the same, he signed the deal and I sighed in relief, that is when I saw the way he was sitting he looked like he owned the company and not me. Going back to my awkward self I didn't know what to speak, and the way he kept looking at me with his piercing blue eyes made it even more difficult.

“ did you have lunch?” Duncan asked in his bold voice, startling me for a second.

“ hmm no,” I said looking at him.

“ breakfast?” before I could answer, jess beat me to it.

“ no Mr. William she doesn't take care of herself at all,” she said, looking at me winking and I glared at her, though I felt like a five-year-old, it felt nice to be cared for, Andrew was the one who would ask whether I had eaten or not and yell when I wouldn't eat, but once he left there wasn't anyone who would ask and care and I wouldn't even bother, so my meals became more infrequent, and sometimes I would go a whole day without eating.

I got defensive “ but I had ice cream,” I said and realized immediately that I sounded like a five-year-old, I looked at Duncan who was looking at me like I was some baby. I was ready to get yelled at just the way Andrew did, Duncan stood up, looking at me
“let's go have lunch,” he said in the softest tone. No yelling, no taking away all of my candies nothing, wow! , I looked at jess hoping she would join.

“ Jessica why don't you join us,” Duncan asked, I looked at her with my best puppy dog eyes.

“ yes, I would love to Mr. William,” she said smiling politely.

I got up from my seat, I looked at Duncan “ why don't you guys headfirst, we will be right behind ya ” I said holding jess’s hand dragging her to the washroom.

We walked into the washroom and I let go of her hand “ you told on me! seriously you told on me! what are we five ? and what is he, my mom? ” I asked placing my hands on my hips. She doesn't even bother to look at me, she took her extremely red lipstick, which I always felt like was made with someone's blood, and started applying it to her lips looking in the mirror “ see when you place your hands like this, that is when you look like a freaking angry bird !” I immediately put my hands down. “ he's too scary for me to lie, ” she said with a fake frightened expression. “ and dint you see the way he was looking at you when you started talking like a businesswoman he was completely flabbergasted. ”

“ forget it,” I said walking towards the bathroom to pee, but that wouldn't stop my assistant from speaking, she does not respect nature's call.

“ I was so shocked when you said he is the guy you are getting married to, first of all, he's soo handsome like holy Molly and I am so happy for you, seriously are you sure you don't like him, but he is so hot.” I cut her ranting in between as I walked out washing my hands.

“ you can have him honey for all I care,” I said looking at her from the mirror in front of me. My head was pounding with all the Duncan talk.

“ na, he’ s too much into you, and I would never do that to you. Oh come on but he's so perfect for you, handsome..”

“ you know what I get it, he's perfect, handsome, made by gods, tall and...”

“ hot ” she completed
