That Valentine

Attack The Enemy...Not Defend

"You have got to be kidding with me."

"No sir. I'm serious." Asher sadly said after delivering the news of Ken's visit to his boss's company, to his office today.
Ken's name rang like trouble, even Asher knew it.

Luke sighed. "When is he coming?"

"In the afternoon sir"
Luke looked at his fashionable artistic clock in a form of tiger on his wall. It was thirty minutes past eleven. Great, just another thirty minutes to go.
"Asher don't worry about it. Let him in when he arrives. Have you finished arranging and sending the document's to Mrs Carmen?"

Asher pushed his glasses up to the bridge of his nose and replied, "Yes I have. She'll be receiving her ordered product by evening. Since it's very delicate it will take time to package"

"Alright you can go." He said.
Asher nodded and left Luke's office. Luke prayed in his mind for Ken not to cause a scene.

🤍❤🤍❤
He saw Ken walking towards his door, with his female assistant and his own assistant in front and pretended to be busy with his computer. Ken burst through the glass doors in his smart looking suit, Maddie following behind with her laptop and note.
Luke didn't look up, acting like he didn't notice his presence. Ken felt insulted that he didn't notice him so he cleared his throat,
"AHEM! I'm here"

Luke finally gave him attention.
"Okay." He simply said. He typed the last thing, which was nothing, and went back to the home page. He relaxed on his chair, with a calm look.
"So, why are you here?"

"Didn't your nerd assistant tell you? We need to have a talk" he said rudely as he sat down on the visitor chair. Maddie looked at Asher emotionlessly. Asher who was standing beside the entrance glass doors felt offended for being called a 'nerd assistant'.

It couldn't even be 'smart assistant', Asher taught.

"Would you look at that. I haven't even told you to sit down and you already grabbed a seat for yourself." Luke said sarcastically.

"It doesn't matter. What is it with you and Linda huh? Why are you being an obstacle? I'm trying my best to get her back as my wife but you're the only obstruction." Ken said.

"Obstruction? Well if you wanted to get her back, I'll be suggesting a bouquet of roses and expensive chocolates with a sweet, homemade apology. NOT coming full head, like a raging bull, to a church to drag her away-FORCEFULLY" Luke said on point.

"That only explains the heights I'll go to get her back. Even if she has used me in many ways, I won't give up on her. I won't give her up to you. Give Linda back to me and there won't be any trouble." Ken threatened with such seriousness as he stood up to stand over Luke.

Luke would have told Asher to leave but Luke didn't worry about him because Asher wasn't a snitch or a gossip. He was a quiet guy and so he was allowed to watch this live action from first row seat.
For Maddie, she wanted to come at all cost. It was news to see how handsome and well-built Luke was, even more attractive than her boss.

Luke laughed at Ken.
"Oh God Almighty, help me. Ken Stone, are you threatening me? Over a woman? That's crazy..what a woman can do to a man. Look at you, you've lost your sanity."

Luke stood up and matched Ken's height.
"And besides, I won't 'give Linda back' to you. Linda isn't an item. I won't toss her to you, like you bought her from a shop. I have no say in who Linda chooses but it's clear that she's definitely doesn't want to see your face again"

Maddie had a small smirk.
Ken had nothing to say so Luke continued.
"I know what your intentions are, you horny mad dog. You don't want to take her for love or sympathy for what you did to destroy your relationship with her, but only to see how she taste like in your bed"
