Story about two people who are stubborn as hell, the whole world can see their chemistry but they can't.
She is sweet, charismatic, turns head when she walks in but has no clue about it. She is a single mom of a lovely boy. And because of one extrem...
I was on my way to Nanna. That lady is so obstinate and so crafty. She knows she is my one sweet weakness and also that I could never say no to her request, so she decided that today was a very good day to go and have luncheon with Mr. and Mrs. Davis. She went behind my back and managed to pull me out of my work by conspiring with my secretary, not to schedule any meeting for the day. After this, I need to have a chat with my staff. I think it is high time they know who is paying their salary.
We met Mr. and Mrs. Davis at a restaurant near the academy. It was a pleasant-looking place, but a little low-key for my Nanna. That lady's choices in her eatery are very high profiled so it got me thinking about what is this lady up to. But again, this Academy means everything to Mr. Davis, he retired a few years back but this place is his first baby, so he could not part with it. That's why whenever he gets a chance or Mrs. Davis allows him, he runs over here and looks after everything with fine-tooth comb, and maybe today happened to be one of the days he was in the building. I was getting way over in my head. He may be 70yrs old, but do not let his age fool you. He can give young CEOs like us a run for our money.
While the ladies were busy chatting over God knows what new collections, Mr. Davis and I were talking about sports, especially about the Euro Cup that was going on. He was excited about the U19 soccer team and the fact that the majority of the players selected trained in his academy. But apparently, he was not sure about the next season. The coach he hired was about to take early retirement as he had promised his daughter to help her, raise his grandkids when the time came and that time came sooner than expected, so he is moving to Hawaii. He said he's trying to get a new one and this time a young one, so he/she will stay longer.
I was trying to fathom where this old man was going with this conversation. When my Nanna said well, Why don't you ask Matt? He plays soccer and loves to boss people around. He might be the perfect coach, meanwhile, you'll have time to search for a good one who will stay longer. She cheekily winked at me as she finished the sentence.
These sly old people, that is why they wanted to have brunch on a weekday. Mr. Davis is so professional he would never have agreed to it until he had other motives. That is why they wanted to meet in front of the academy to build up the nostalgia factor and that was the reason behind this old man's emotional speech. I glared at my Nanna. That lady had a sheepish smile on her face that told me she was enjoying her mission accomplishment.
I had no other choice other than to give up and say yes, but I could not put more emphasis on the word temporary to Mr. Davis. For the next hour and a half, we went about with the formality of paperwork like I said this man may be old and frolicky at times, but when it comes to business, he is very punctilious. He gave me a rundown of the schedule and informed me that I'll have an assistant coach. I would only be there for a maximum of three days a week and explain the strategies and plan to my assistant coach so that he could work with the kids in my absence.
Since I was doing this out of goodness of my heart, all my salary was to go to a charity of Nanna's choice.
By the time I reached the office, it was late afternoon, I got myself busy with the amount of paperwork that needed to be signed, was not even halfway through work when my cellphone dinged, informing me of a message received. It was James.
James: Let's have a drink tonight at the club.
I was about to reply no so that I could get back to work when it dinged again with another text.
James: Before you say no, Bianca wants to see you, and Nina and Anzee will be there too.
Before I could process anything, my legs were already walking out of the office towards the lobby to head out. My brunette was going to be there, was all I needed to know.
I went to the penthouse, took a shower, got changed, and headed toward the club. I got there around 9 pm. I saw James and Bianca in the VIP lounge, so I went there and sat next to Bianca. I gave her a coy hug and a pat on James's back.
Three days in a week Davis, Are you sure you love Bianca and not me? I told James mockingly and winked at Bianca.
Stop flirting with my Fiance Smith, see that ring on her finger, that shouts my name, he said while glaring at me.
We would have thrown a few more jabs at each other but Bianca interrupted us with a throat-clearing sound, so moved our attention to her. She placed a loving kiss on James and said he could flirt all he wished, but this ship has sailed and has landed on your dock baby and your friend over here seems to be smitten by someone else.
********************************************** Happy Monday you guys!! So I am thinking of reading another book, do you guys have any suggestion currently I am about to finish "Pride and Prejudice" for the umpteenth time😜
