I knocked gently on the door of CEO's office, waiting for a response. I was hell of tired and i still have to deliver the feedback of the arrangements for the necessary things for the project.

The response came a bit low and late.i pushed the door open revealing Luca at the back of his desk, his tie long gone and his eyes solely focused on the pile of papers in front of him.

He raised his head immediately at the sound of my footsteps with a smile emerging from his tired face. He dropped the piece of paper in his hand and focus his eyes on me.

" I was kindly waiting for you to gather the papers. Is it done already?" He asked as i approach his desk.

I nodded my head with a smile, extending the file to him and he took it with a thankful smile. His eyes briefly scanned through mine before he focus on the file, checking through and nodding his head along the reading.

"Huh. . . Wow. . "He draw his lips in peering into my eyes intensely." You've always get to amaze me with your excellent works, daphne and i-i might not have any. . .ideas of what to do without you by my side"

He looked at me seriously and in a higher place in his eyes. I smile warmly and leaned from one leg to the other. So damn awkward it is and i rather not expect his complement over my works.

He noticed my silence and the awkwardness, shooting me an apologetic smile and setting the file on his table.

"Thank you so much, daphne." He said to get rid of the awkwardness which makes me feel little uncomfortable to be sincere.

" You're welcome, Luca." I replied sincerely with a smile and i proceed to excuse myself before his voice interrupted my movements.

"Daphne."

I turned to face his confused looking face. He look like he's being choked up by the words and he badly want to let it out. I waited for him to talk. He took my silence as a sign to go on with the talking.

"I. . .uh. . .if you don't mind, we can have dinner together if y-you are free?

I blinked once then twice still processing his words. He wants me to have dinner with h-him?. I-uh- i don't know whether i want to really. I don't know.

I shoot him an apologetic hard smile."i-i have plans tonight, Luca. Am sorry. Maybe another time?"

He shoot up a beaming smile immediately to get rid of the stench of awkwardness "oh. . . It's very well alright. I-i. . .uh- another time will do then. Goodnight daphne." He smile widely and i returned his smile.

I turned back to the door and gently exited his office. I just hope that didn't make him feel bad or something. It's just a dinner,that won't make it less of anything.

I heaved a sigh. By the time I got back to where our office is. Others have left for the day and some of the light have been switched off leaving the place dim.

I walk to my compartment at the far end of the office and packed my bag, my phone and my coat. It's pretty much chilly since we are already entering winter slowly.

I switched off the light at my desk,proceeding.to close the door after me.
