TWENTY-SEVEN✔️

      *******

  Her first week at work wasn't so stressful and she didn't have a problem learning so fast what Miles had her go through. It was the last day of her contract with him and they were almost done.

   But then Keila found herself wanting to have more time with Miles. She was quick to realize that if they finished up for the day, she might see him less frequently and he might be too busy to keep her company at times. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but the urge to have time with him was strong.

  She couldn't like him, she knew. He had a girl friend and zero affection for her. What if he was attracted to her and she didn't know, because he couldn't have wanted to spend time with her, if he didn't.

  Get over it Kei, this is business, she groaned and scolded herself

  "Well, I guess I have given you all I have to concerning what we have been working on and that of the last one week you have been here", he said and she nodded.

  "Yeah, I get. I can pick up from there now, thank you".

  "The pleasure is mine. I will keep on giving you daily reports on how the production team is working and whatever purchases the company makes".

  "Good, I would do well to visit the departments myself".

  "Alright then, I should go".

  He is going Keila, do something. She told herself in her mind's head.

  "Uhh yeah. Wait".

  "Anything?", he asked, brows furrowed in confusion at the cheesy look on her face.

  "Thanks for the endurance over the week. Do you mind if I treat you to dinner to officially close this up?".

  "Actually I do. I'm very sorry but it's not necessary, I did it because I have to and if I didn't do it someone else will, so it's perfectly fine with me. Thanks a lot Keila"

  "Oh nope, you wouldn't be turning down my offer. I don't mean anything absurd, just showing my appreciation".

  He seemed to show some signs of displeasure at her request and she instantly regretted making the move, but he gave in.

  "If you insist then".

  He excused himself and went to drop his office bag in his car. That got Keila wondering if they were going to move in different cars. She really felt stupid, she couldn't ask him to leave his car behind and neither could she leave hers and she wanted them to go for the dinner officially. Anyways she had to give that up.

   She got her things and asked him to drive after her, then she left first. She kept hating herself since Miles didn't even offer a smile all the while as if he was greatly disturbed to be asked on the dinner.

  She decided to treat him to somewhere highly fancy, so she kept driving till she got to a top star eatery. She received his text before she drove in.

  "I would better appreciate if you can just let's have some chicken curry sauce at a local restaurant. The air around there is better than here being so classy, I wouldn't be comfortable here Keila, I'm sorry".

  She felt her mood being tempered on, as if Miles was joking with her, but it was her fault anyways. He hadn't wanted it.

  Also, she didn't think there was anything wrong in treating her manager to a dinner for helping her, but she knew there were ulterior motives, she hadn't been too plain.

   She came down from her car and walked over to his, anger shown over her face but she changed her countenance when she got closer to his car.

  "Do you have any idea?".

  "Yeah, I will lead then".

  He waited for her to get in her car before he drove off first.

     *******

  Keila got home minutes past eight. The dinner was pretty good coupled with the fact that Miles was actually very lively over talk, she had thought he was going to keep up with the wrong attitude he had, but probably the sauce got him comfortable, she chuckled and undressed, prepared water and had a shower.

  Her phone rang and it was Camilla, obviously being a while.

  "Hi".

  "Camy, how have you been?".

  "Good even if you didn't check up on me".

  "You could have if I didn't".

  "Fine, how are you too?".

  "Been doing good. And work?".

  "Boring, and stressful. I missed having you to talk to and besides since you left, a bit of your duty has been on me".

  Keila managed a laugh.

  "Sorry about that, something will be done pretty soon".

  "I so hope, yunno, I'm still crossed with you for not telling me whatever was going on with you until I found out, it really wasn't fair".

  "Stop making this sound so bad, it wasn't a crime".

  "But we are friends".

  "Sure, I promise we will talk about this later then, right now, I'm tired and I need to sleep, I shouldn't get late for work".

  "Where do you work?".

  "Camy, lets talk later okay?, goodnight", she said tiredly.

  "You've been very odd to me these days like you're trying to push me away and trust me I won't let it go, you will have your fair share too", she said and Keila laughed off her unserious threat.

  "I'm sorry".

  "Whatever, bye", Camilla said and hanged up leaving Keila glad that she could sleep well.

Well Kei, Camilla did escort you to a point of your life, she doesn't want you feeling like you've escaped from her.
