***Juliettes Point of view***
The next day at work wasn't as bad as I though it would be, given the whole Isaac-trying-to-embarrass-me-infront-of-my-crush incident. Alexander handled it like a man (A thing Isaac should try more of) and just brushed the comment off his shoulders. Today, Alexander had a tour of the Areva Electronics Cell Phone factory and he took me along to make notes of any suggestions he says. Besides the fact thaAlexander recommended that we need to make our phones look more appealing by looks. We are currently getting ready to film a commercial somewhere tropical and be featured in a movie in the USA, so I can understand why he wants them to look more appealing.
"Ok Everyone, thanks for coming out today at the factory. I think this is a wrap" Alexander said as the visitors began to leave.
"Juliette, do you want to grab something to eat after this?"
"Ok sure! I know this great cafe in Vanves. We should go there."
I told him the directions to Abellas Cafe (The one where I used to work at).
"One Tuna Fish and Onion Sandwich, Tomato and Mozzarella Sandwich, also two coffees please." I said to the Waitress
"How did you know what I wanted?"
"The Truth is, I used to work here and deliver you your sandwiches. Remember me?"
"Hmmm.. no I don't." he responded.
Throughout our lunch I kept getting these phone calls, and not wanting to interrupt our almost "date", I just declined the calls. By the fifth time my phone rang, Alexander just told me to take the call outside.
"Hello?" I said aggravated
"Juliette, where have you been?" By her voice, I could tell it was Hai-Mi from the office.
"What do you mean? I'm out on a lunch break with Alexander."
"Wow! Really?"
" Why are you surprised? Does Alex never take his secretary out to lunch?"
"Nope, he never has and I've been here for years."
"Yay! He might like me then!"
"Ok Juliette after work lets go out for a drink, bye!"
I Hung up my phone and returned back into the cafe. When I sat down, I saw that our food had already arrived but Alex had waited for me to finish my call.
"Enjoy!" I said cheerfully
When we got back to Areva Electronics, flowers were on my desk with a card. Who sent this? The card read:
"REVENGE. Sincerely, Isaac"
Alexander walked in and saw the flowers. Next to come in my office was Hai-Mi saying,
"Juliette, your boyfriend is so sweet! Those are expensive flowers!"
Alexander looked at me with an angry face and said "Can you finish my paper and clean up the coffee from this mornings conference?" Then he left.
At 3pm, a man walked into my office and said "Delivery from Isaac Heed of Club5 HQ."
"Sir, take it back I don't want this gift!"
"We are not permitted to return gifts. Goodbye and have a nice day." he said.
Hai-Mi opened the bag and there was an expensive designer dress suit in it.
