Lisa's POV:

I listen as footsteps comes closer to my bedroom door.

The door slammed open, walking in was dad.

"hey dad." I say, getting up from where I was sitting, on the bed.

I give him a side hug, he sits on my bed as I sit next to him.

"is it true that you want Adrian to invest in your company?" I ask.

I need to know everything, I trust my dad but Adrian again is now something else.

Who would ever change like that?

"yes. Any problem?" my dad says.

"no dad I just wanted to know."

"there's nothing wrong with doing business with Adrian, that makes me remember one important thing..." he smiles.

"what?"

"we're having a dinner with Adrian and other business men, who knows maybe you might like one of them."

This is the most weird moment I've had with my dad.

Okay, I don't know about others but for me I'd rather keep my love life a secret than informing my parents.

I don't trust them when it comes to that.

I try to change the topic because I don't know what to say next.

"uh... Dad, I think I'll head to my office now, I'm sure Kelvin is already waiting for me." I lie.

"alright then, have a good day?" he smiles as I smile back.

Melissa's POV:

I haven't said any word to my boss ever since I came here.

I mean he just treat me like trash.

We didn't even look at each other since morning.

But of course, he found his coffee on the table.

He has been ignoring me, so I did the same.

Am I not the smartest.

I hear him clear his throat as I just ignore him.

Finally, "you're going shopping with me."

I keep on ignoring him,"Melissa I am talking to you."

"yes you're talking to me sir, who else is in this room apart from us?" I say showing no expressions.

"then why weren't you answering?" Adrian asks.

"I just answered you didn't I sir?"

"mind the way you talk to me! I can crush you in just a second!" Adrian stands up from his chair, as I do the same.

"then do it!" I shout. "why do you always take your anger out on me?!"

"answer me sir!" he says nothing.

"get ready we're going for shopping." Adrian's hoarse voice comes out as he walks out of the office.

Just by watching him, leave his office in anger makes me wonder what life has ever done to him, for him to be always arrogant, angry and...

Sad.

Yes, I noticed that's he's always sad. I've never seen him smiling.

I'm telling you if I get the chance to him smiling even just a little bit, I'll dance even though I do not even know how to.
