Love In Silhouette

❇「Chapter 25」❇

-"True love has a habit of coming back."-

Asher clutched his stomach as a growl erupted from it's depths.

"Gosh I'm so hungry." He looked up at the ceiling and sighed.

I should get something to eat.

"I'll eat when I get home." He shook his head and concluded on second thought.

His stomach growled again, this time louder as if not satisfied with his decision.

"I'll eat at home." He repeated more affirmatively as if in argument with his growling stomach.
He turned in his chair and began sorting out the papers on his desk in the bid to try and distract his mind from the deep churning. It worked, as the pain seemed to subside only for it to begin again after a few minutes; this time as if angry it was getting ignored.

Not able to hold it in anymore, he tore off a sheet of paper from a notebook and began scribbling what he wanted to eat on it.

"Chicken and fried chips with Chivita juice." He muttered under his breath as his hand moved up and down the paper.

Once he was done, he punched the button on the bell stationed just a few inches right from his right hand and relaxed in his chair groaning slightly from the headache that just begun to develop.

Almost immediately, there was a rapt knock on the door.

"Come in!"

The door opened and a lady walked in. Her brown eyes focused on his and her face broke into a charming smile.

She was beautiful...very beautiful. But who was she, and why in his office? He didn't remember calling in anyone of the sort.

"You called sir?" She replied in a cheery voice.

He frowned slightly probably wondering what she meant by that. Then his face lit up almost immediately right after and he nodded.

"You're the new PA?"

"Yes sir. I am."

"What's your name?" He relaxed further and rotated in his swivel chair studying her.

"Mojisola Hassan sir." Hmm.

"Alright Mojisola." He stretched out his hand with the piece of paper in it. She reached out and took it from him courtesying while at it.

"I would need lunch from the nearby KFC restaurant. Do you know the place?"

"Yes sir I do. It's not up to fifteen minutes from here taking a cab." She made to describe the way by gesticulating with her hands.

"That's right. I want it as soon as possible." He finished and waved her off before turning away back to the papers on his desk.

Mojisola smirked slightly just in time to escape his critical gaze as she turned and went back out through the door.

Backing the door, Asher frowned.

Why did she smirk?

"Mr Eze wants us to take the team to meet our clients on the Island right away." Yetunde remarked not looking up as she tapped away at the screen of her Samsung notepad each time pushing her round glasses up the bridge of her nose.

"And what time is the meeting?" A tall dark guy dressed in a grey kaftan and palm slippers, walked up to the circle of three including Yetunde...his attire totally unconventional for an office setting.
