A Dancehall Story: Book 7

Chapters 29- Lion Eyes

Chalkline's POV

"Kelly can you order some flowers for me?" I asked.

I was standing at my office door. She looked at me and smile, then got up from her desk, pushed me back into my office and shut the door.

One of these days I am going to knock her out.

"Flowers? What's the occasion. You look good by the way?"

She pushed me to sit down on my desk as she stood before me.

"I just want to get some flowers for my wife" I said.

She smiled.

"You have been working so hard lately. What did you do?"  She asked.

I eased her off me and walked back to my chair.

"Alex nah love you right Kelly? I've never seen you get flowers." 

I just wanted her out of my face right now. I was going through enough and I was going to let Kelly add to it.

"Alex is a man that doesn't have to prove anything to anyone and he behaves himself so he's rarely in trouble, unlike you" She said.

I chuckled.

"Ok Kelly, good for you and cat. Now go get some flowers for my wife, send an arrangement to my mother and also send one  anonymously to this address" I handed her the card with the information.

"Wait this is..."

"Kelly please go do what I tell you" I said.

She looked at me and shook her head.

Just as she was about to walk out Chanel entered.

"Kelly. Mr. Walker can I talk to you for a minute" She asked.

I looked at the time and realized I had some to spare.

"I have somewhere to be but you can talk, make it fast"

She walked in and closed the door behind her. She never look pleasant for such a pretty girl.

Must bringing all her mother's evil with her.

"So do I but I need to talk to about a matter" she said.

This looks like it was about to take a while.

"What matter is that?" I asked.

She took a deep breath and adjusted her self in the chair.

"I know you might hear the rumours going around about me having a crush on you and I don't want you to think it's true. I want you to still respect me on a professional  level" She said.

Who the fuck told her I did?

This could have stayed where ever it came from.

"Ms. Ragan I've heard many things and I never cared. If you have a crush on me then that's fine, I'm crushable" I said.

I smiled at her.

Garrick, remember she is fragile.

"I'm sure you are to others but I don't see you like that" She said.

Ok then.

"That's ok too. Like I said, it's no big deal and this did warrant a meeting" I said.

"Sorry if you think this is taking up your time but I just didn't want you see me as anything other than professional" She said.

I want to hurt her feelings so bad.

You have the slightest clue about how I see you Ms. Ragan.

"That's ok. One thing with me Ms. Ragan, who I chose, wife, baby mother, side bitch, random fuck, they are all carefully selected so you don't have to worry about me thinking you're not professional or seeing you as anything else."
