How could I make you love me?

Chapter 4

Office

My heels were clicking on the floor while I walked towards the lobby of Demetri's office. The building was high enough with 20 floors, and workers were busy with their own business- some were carrying a bulk of files, and some were busy calling clients on their phones. I stopped my aching feet in front of the help desk near the entrance door.

"Good morning. May I ask which floor is Demerti's office?" the lady's brow arched as she heard my question.

"Sorry, ma'am. May I know if you have an appointment with Mr. Hercadeza?" she replied and kept her tone respectful, but I could see the wariness on her face.

"He knows that I'm going here, so you can just ring him up," I said and smiled brightly. Hoping she would let me pass now.

She gave me a polite smile and replied, "May I know your name, ma'am?"

"Sky Felian"

Instead of a good response, I saw her face become sour as she heard my name, making me confused. "You know you're the third Sky Felian who visited Mr. Hercadeza this week."

I was perplexed. I'm the third one? I sighed and asked, "What do you mean? I'm Sky Felian- Demetri's fiance."

"before you, two persons pretended to be miss Sky Felian to meet Mr.Hercadeza. Because of that, he advised us to turn down any girls who claim that they're Sky Felian. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience."

Okay, my first visit to Demetri's office has taken an unexpected turn. I dialed his phone number, but it kept ringing, and I hadn't received any response.

My eyes were roaming in different spots hoping I would catch a glance of Demetri, but I hadn't.

I forced a smile and tried my luck again. "Please, I can present my identification card to prove I'm Sky Felian," I said while placing my driver's license in front of her.

Earlier, my dad was banging on my door to wake me up, saying I needed to attend to my wedding preparations with Demetri. I did not think twice and got ready immediately and meticulously. Funny how I'm more looking forward to spending the day with Demetri than doing the wedding preparations. I was very conscious of what I should wear today, I know I'm not sure who was the lady with Demetri yesterday is, but I always need to be prepared. Demetri is selling like a hotcakes in the market, he's taken by me, but I know a lot would wage war for him.

I wore an oversized brown blazer to avoid looking like my age and paired it with a big black belt placed on my waist. I was staring at my hurting feet. High heels are not really my thing, but I need to look mature to match Demetri's taste (which I only assume), and I don't want to look like a child beside him. I want to look like his lady.

I've been standing in front of the entrance door for ten minutes because the lady did not budge when I presented my I.D. I think she has some trust issues...

If I knew this would happen, I would have Demetri waiting for me at the entrance. I sought a place to sit because the high heels were killing me. I chose to sit on the stairwell with my hand on my forehead to block myself from the sun's rays.

I fetch my phone and directly click the call button to reach my dad. After three rings, he answered with the most joyous voice. He's the most excited when it comes to the wedding, so it is understandable.

"Hey, sweetie. What's up?"

"Nothings up, dad, cause I'm feeling down. The front desk won't believe I'm the real Sky, and Demetri is not answering my calls. No one can vouch for me." I was pouting even though I knew that my dad couldn't see me right now.
