For Her.

Chapter 3

Continuation...

"But."Edward sighs.
"I Know you don't want to talk about it and I understand you ,although I just want to know when you will quit/stop running."
He covers his eyes with his hands.
"Have you ever thought about your future,dreams,life,love, family.I mean don't you want to get married and have kids?Don't you want to have a life before your job,company and business deals?Don't you want to have picknicks ,go to church,read a Bible with the family,laugh and cry when you see your or our children grow older than you thought?"A tear slips from his eye.

'I,i,I,it's a long story.I don't have time to think about that.'
"We may be business partners Aliyah,but sometimes I can see you are nearing a breaking point and hitting rock bottom.Ive helped you for the past 7 years and have watched you trip,grow,suffer,rise and win.Although I've never seen you really happy like I did the first time I saw you on the first day of freshmen year."I see his eyes nearing up to liquidation.

"I just wish you could break out of your shell and let go of your body,your soul and your mind,I don't bite you know."

"I KNOW"

Time passes until he speaks again

"I'll see you later"
Before I could reply he walks out.

Mumbling alone in the middle of my enormous office I say
'OK.'

Later that night I listened to a song by Juice wrld and the weekend.

_I'd do anything in my power worth to see you just smile,I want you to prosper and come proper  even if that means I ain't by your side._

The next song on the list  was by Jhené Aiko.

~Baby I was born tired and I'm getting more tired as time passes me by...~

Before I could finish the line the door bell rang and I ran assuming it was my pizza.
Yep it was pepper Roni.

"That will be 12 dollars"The delivery guy said looking me up and down completely undressing me right then and there.I handed him the money and a 4 dollar tip.
'Thank you' I said and he nodded and left.

The next day...

Narrator2:The next morning Aliyah walked into her company, her black and red base colored stilettos tapping on the marble floor of her office .Her hair blowing through every movement she made.Every curve on her body visible from the black elegant dress she wore .Every head in the room turning to face her and greet her accordingly.

"Good morning Miss Kim."As she nodds moving forward with not only confidence and braveness but with elegance and awareness of the power she holds . Indicating that she is the bigger person in the picture.

As I entered the office Ariana my secretary followed behind me,spotting the coffee on my table in a neat manner perfectly black and hot with no milk.
I am lactose intolerant after all.
Others around me order things with extra cheese and I stick to the original serving.
'Poor me.' I utter louder than I thought.

"Is there something wrong Miss Kim,did we miss something?"She asks in a concerned manner
'No.'I answer
'Whats on my schedule today?'

"Nothing much,today you will mostly be out of the office due to the meeting with the board members of Sheer Lingerie at 13:00 and the dinner with the Henson's at 16:00. Assuming it is still 08:30_You have a meeting with the transaction department at 10:00 and a tour walk through with Mr Peters at 11:30."

'Thank you Ariana.'
"Oh and miss Kim."
'Yes.'
"Mr Fasbender left a message for you, I left it
on your desk."

'Thank you Ariana.'
She nodded and left in a perfect posture.

Some of the reasons I like her are her confidence, determination and just how she is perfect.That girl is fit enough to be the first lady .I had never had a secretary who could stand up to me and tell me I'm wrong or need to change the way I did things.We weren't close but she understood me more than anyone who ever worked for me .She knew all my reactions,the way I made decisions and what pissed me off and pleased me.

'Ariana Smith'
I said with a smile on my face.
