Behind the hideous heart

Chapter 9

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Zach's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I very much knew she didn't want me to go to lunch with them. I just didn't know why. I mean i was very grateful that she wasn't drooling over my good looks, a bit offended but grateful. I mean i didn't want this partnership to be disturbed with a relaionship, because as far as i'm concerned i wasn't going to be involved in one. What Madison did was very hurtful, but to be honest i'm not that brokenhearted, it made me realised that i never really loved her. When i first got in miss Parker's office i never imagined i woud find her watching porn with her friend. But when i cleared my throat to get there attention they were both startled and very very embarrassed. The way she blushed was very cute. I was a bit suprised to how fast she turned her emotions off, i mean she turned into serious mode so fast and erased her humiliation as fast as you could snap your fingers. She introduced me to her friend, Megan who from my observation seems the total opposite to Parker. I remebered when she did the presentation yesterday, i couldn't take my eyes off of her. And today when she bent down to get the contract from the last drawer, damn i wasn't the only one enjoing the sight, i had to think about other stuff to calm down my friend. we discussed a bit about the contract and i was very impressed about the whole thing. When i was gonna apologise for what i said earlier she replied coldly that she didn't wanna talk about it. I was a bit mad when she said that she didn't tolerate tardiness, i mean we were partners. That meant we were equal, not her my boss. I was gonna clarify that when i realised it was our first meeting and this was not the way i wanted it to end.

We're now at a restaurant eating lunch, and the only person talkind non-stop is Megan "so Zach, do you live alone?" "Oh hum, yes" i suddenly heard my phone ringing, i looked at the screen and it says mom. Great. "Heloo mother" "Heloo, darling how are you doing?" "I'm great mother, how about you and father? Is he feeling better now?" " Oh he's doing realy well now, i was wondering if you could come fo dinner tonight?" i sighted because i knew she's probably having pity of me "I'm sorry mother, but i have work to do , maybe another time" i could feel her disappointment "Sure darling, have a good day" "Goodbye mother" Then i hung up. "Mothers" i said, followed with a chuckle. Megan laughed back nervously while miss Parker was clenching her fork so tightly that her knuckels were turning white. What's going on? "Is everything alright miss parker?" She looked up to me and what i saw kind off hurt me. Her eyes were filed with anger and disgust and i could very easily guess that it was directed towards me. "Excuse me" she said while getting up. "What is something that i said?" i asked Megan. she shifted in her seat, she was clearly nervous. "Look just try to avoid the subject that includes parent's around Kelly, ockay?" Woaw, what? something is clearly wrong. I wanted to ask more but i knew it woudn't be her place to tell so i just nodded. Then miss Parker came back and we got ready to leave. I called the waiter and asked him for the bill but before i could take it Parker told him it was on her, i insisted to pay but she replied "thank you but i'd rather pay myself" With that said we go out. When we got to the door Megan said "this saturday is my birthday and we're going out with some friends why don't you join us?" "Oh, i wouldn't want to intrude" "oh please, the more the marryer." "ok how old are you turning?" "26" "well then i will see you then goodbye" "goodbye" she said but Parker only nodded. Shortly after leaving, I called Donovan my personal assistant " Hey dov, i need you to get me the full file of miss Kelly Parker" "Sure thing Zach" "Thanks man".
