The Boss

chapter 7

Amelia's POV

I stood up from my seat as the rest walk out from the conference room, I stood beside Mr parker in order to greet the investors, I can't understand the reason why he was furious about me miller staring at me, there is nothing to look at, I am not beautiful nor do I fit in into their world.

" miss Smith", I heard as I was brought back to reality, I blinked twice while trying to recall what they might have talked about but no, I couldn't grasp anything so I just stood there.

" Amelia, I asked if you would like to go dinner with me, I love your personality and all ", Mr miller said and I cringed.

" if I will be polite which I don't think I want to be sir, I think you can save that time to take your wife out for dinner,she would love it, so I heard work has really taken your time away from home, that being said can I be excuse", I was furious at him and myself, like was I that bad to not be loved by young people anymore but old men, damn I hate my life right now. I looked at my boss who showed no expression at all I dread the face right now, I turned to walk out of the room, closing the door behind me, as I make my way to my office I met with Christopher on the way and I smiled walking to him.

" hey gorgeous who fell right from the sky", he joked hugging me tightly, if not that I didn't like him as lover I would have made my move, cos he is handsome but not as hot as certain someone.

" are you done lying to yourself huh, I am not beautiful and you know it, I have freckles all over my face, does that make me pretty", I countered him.

He only smiled at me before responding," you don't have anything that ulters your beauty, you are just too delightful and you know it", he laughed, his arms around my shoulder.
" when you are done lying let me know, if I am actually beautiful,do I meet your taste as a woman", I asked with mischief in my eyes.

If he actually thinks am beautiful then why can't a certain person find me attractive, he doesn't even show her is interested in me, no wonder I spent my life not having a damn boyfriend, I always like what's out of my league.

" yes, so here I am taking you for lunch right now, we need to go", Chris said dragging me along with him as I wonder if he was right with what he said.

We got to the lunch area abd settled down, I ordered lunch for us, fries with chicken and a cold coke, wondering why a waitress is attending to us, we went to lunch outside the office, yay, courtesy of my friend here. I sat down to eat when I saw the moody look on his face and my sorry skyrocketed, I wonder what's wrong.

" hey you look moody, anything wrong", I asked worriedly.
" nothing is wrong", he faked a smile and I knew it was a lie.
" I know something is wrong, you can tell me, I can understand if you don't want to considering we only met a month ago but you can trust me", I blabbed holding his hands tightly.
" geez, I will never think you like that, you are the only one I know and close to and can turn to", he answered with a frown.
" so who did you kill this time", with that he gave me the most heart warming smile I have ever seen.

" I think my girlfriend is cheating, I saw the redline and I just don't want to believe it, what do you do when you feel so betrayed and lost, like I gave her everything she needed but she still cheated", he sighed and I listened to him talking.
" giving any one everything does not make them faithful to us. You know,if you can have your family betraying you then anybody can", I chipped in as I drop my hands to my thigh, I don't want to go down the memory lane but I can't help it, its just pointless sometimes.

" you talk as if you have been hurt a lot", he furrowed his eyebrows as I give him a tight smile.
" it only hurts deeply when you don't learn from it", i answered him, checking the time I saw we only have ten minutes left, I left outback small chuckles, he saw what I did and understood my reasons. He paid for our food and we made our way out of the restaurant,walking back to the office.
