The Lies Between Us

28- Too Early

You know how the saying goes 'Life's what happens when you're busy making plans' it's the same vibe as 'you're so happy you don't notice the deadline.'

When Tait entered Thomas Avreux-Kingston Group, he felt like entering a new world. The employees inside were not all aware that The Tait Kingston was indeed related to their boss – in fact he's the son. So seeing him walking in a three piece suit with the board members came as a shock to them.

He has to admit it was kind of fun coming in here with people expecting nothing less of his star persona. He's innate competitive spirit was slowly awaken by the challenge. As he made his way to the elevators, he genuinely smiled to the people who met his eyes.

"This is your office." The overly polite staff who looked like he was in his mid-forties gestured him to go inside.

He smirked liking the big windows and his desk. The room was big with enough space for guests and there was even a mini library by the far end corner.

Tait wandered around smiling timidly at the woman standing beside his desk.

"This is Tanya, she will be your secretary."

He barely heard what he said when, out his huge windows, he found his girlfriend's billboard somewhere down the streets. He bit his lip appreciating Lisie's Celine ad campaign.

"It's a pleasure to be working with you, sir." The woman said in a soft almost seductive tone.

Tait raised a brow thinking. "It's nice to meet you as well." He paused looking at the senior staff who introduced himself as Grant.

He was thinking of requesting for a male secretary instead but he'd give her the benefit of the doubt. Anyway, since this is an office setting, maybe employees here stay professional unlike some people in Star Avenue where directors or producers don't hesitate to date their actors even in the middle of filming.

He almost rolled his eyes thinking it was weird comparing that world to this reality. Showbiz almost have no rules when it comes to dating unlike in the corporate world. Not that he prefers relationships to be lawless but relationships with boundaries are healthier.

"Tanya will be the one to fix your schedule for the rest of your stay," said Grant. The tall brunette smiled like she has the best job there is.

"I can also make you coffee sir, if Starbucks ran out of beans out of a sudden." She giggled.

Tait didn't laugh along but he managed a small grin. "Do I have a schedule for tomorrow at 4?"

His question made Tanya bolt to her desk. She shuffled some papers in the table before coming back.

"You're scheduled to meet your team at 3pm so 4pm should be clear." She announced proudly.

"Great! I'm planning to show my office to my girlfriend." Tait shared his plan. He knew when he entered inside, Lisie would be excited to visit. Of course it's an opportunity for him to show off both his girlfriend to the company and his office to his girlfriend.

He pushed his back off his desk clapping his hands like it was a perfect plan. "Clear my schedule from 4 to 6. I don't want anyone disturbing us while we're here."

"O-okay, sir." Tanya followed not sounding happy anymore.

"That'd be all, thanks." He smirked turning his back on the staff. "Oh and Tanya."
