Under The Sheets

84. Say What!

Diana's P.O.V

I was printing an important contract for Mr. Carter when the telephone started ringing. I pull the hand phone and press it on my ear.

"This is the Carter Queens Inc., may I help you?" I answered the phone.

"May I speak to Mr. Carter?" The lady asked politely.

"I'm sorry ma'am but you couldn't speak to him directly. You can only leave a message to me and wait for his reply which will also be given by me" I replied.

"Tell him that I'm his wife" the lady said.

What?! I thought Mr. Carter's wife is already dead. This girl is seriously making me freak out. Don't tell me, I'm talking to a ghost.

"Wait a second, ma'am" I covered the mouth piece and spoke to Mr. Carter "Excuse me sir, but there's someone who wants to have a word with you"

"How many times would I tell you that they can't speak to me directly?" Mr. Carter explained.

"But sir, she said he's your wife" I said.

Mr. Carter stopped writing and look at me, "Line number?" He asked.

"Two sir" I answered.

Mr. Carter press the button on his multi-lined telephone and press the hand phone on his ear, while I hang it up. He started talking to the lady and I went back to work. This is seriously creeping me out.

Austin had told me that his mother died because of an accident and now a lady said that she's Mr. Carter's wife. It's really weird.

I finished printing the stuffs needed to be printed and I got a good timing, cause it's already time for lunch and I swear to god, I'm dying to eat 2 pieces of fried chicken with rice. I grab my bag and went out of Mr. Carter's office.

I went straight in the elevator and press the ground floor button. The door of the lift slides open and I went out. I was almost near the front door when I suddenly heard Austin shouted my name.

"Diana!"

I turn around to face him, "Yes sir, is there anything I could do for you?" I asked politely and my stomach grumbles.

"Maybe?" He run towards me "Could you accompany me?" Austin asked.

"In what sir?" I raise an eyebrow.

"In eating lunch?" Austin raises one of his eyebrows.

I laugh and answered, "Sure!" My boss is seriously making me laugh, "But, I'll be the one choosing where we'll eat" I said emphasizing the word 'but'.

"Sure!" He smiled widely.

We went out of the building and went in his car, but of course, being the gentleman he is, he open the door for me and close it. Austin went in the car and placed the key in the ignition.

"So, where are we headed?" Austin asked.

"McDonald's!" I said.

"Are you serious?!" He asked couldn't believe that I actually said McDonald's.

"Yes!" I raise my eyebrows "Drive or I'll get out of your car and eat my lunch by myself" I warned.

"Okay! Okay!" We drove away.

The drive to McDonald's is really fun, cause we were singing along the radio and Austin's voice isn't nice. It sounds so bad that if he sings to the top of his lungs, the windows will break and the side mirrors will crack.

We arrived at McDonald's and Austin park his car and we both went out. Austin and I went in the fast food restaurant, and went straight to the counter.

"Welcome to McDonald's ma'am and sir, may I help you?" The girl wearing a McDonald's uniform for employee's, said.

"I'll get two pieces of chicken with rice and a large fries" I said "Oh! Add a coke float" I added.

"How 'bout you sir? What can I get you?" This time the girl is talking to Austin.

"I'll have the same" he points out.

"Copy cat" I laugh.

Austin insisted to pay and we both enjoy our lunch. I really enjoy eating my fried chicken and take note, it was already my third order of rice. Yeah! I know... I know, I eat like a horse. Dude! I didn't eat breakfast, so please let me eat. Actually, after 30 minutes that we got our food, Austin's done eating and it's really awkward cause he's watching me eat as if I'm just a beggar outside being brought to a fast food restaurant, and hasn't been eating food for a long time.

I finished eating my food and suck my fingers, cause there are some gravy on it. I wipe my fingers and mouth with the tissue. I sip my coke float and stare at Austin and he's watching me with a weird look.

"What?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Dude! Did you like....not eat for a million years?" He chuckled.

"I'm sorry! I didn't eat my breakfast, you know?" I immediately answered.

"Whatever!" Austin rolls his eyes and I laugh how he does it. "Now, why are you laughing?" He asked scratching the back of his neck.

I lick my lips and replied, "You roll your eyes like the ones in the movie Mean Girls".

With that, he started laughing. Austin stops laughing and smiled, "I like you!".

I like you.

I like you.

Wait. Did he just say he likes me? No! My boss can't like me, specially because I'm directly working under his father. I shake my head in disbelief and act as if it's nothing.

"What is your favorite movie, anyways?" I immediately change the topic, to avoid awkwardness.

"Why did you ask?" He clasp his hands together looking at me straight in my eyes

"Why? Am I not allowed to ask? Fine! Then, don't answer my question" I joke.

"No! I will be willing to answer your question" he laughs, even though, I know my joke is quite corny.

"Hold on!" I said and his eyes almost fall out of its sockets when I said that, because he was shock how loud I said it. Anyways, it made me laugh as well. "Don't use the word willing, cause I feel like our conversation is too professional" I said.

"Oh! Okay" Austin fixes his tie.

"So?" I said while tapping the table.

"Brick Mansions" he replied.

"Cool! Paul Walker's one of the cast right?" I asked.

"Yes!" Austin nods.

"You know, I find Paul Walker really hot" I wink.

"How 'bout me, do you find me hot too?" He winks.
