I hate gender stereotypes so much."Believe it or not, I actually dislike parties."i inform him with a smile. "I'm here because I love helping."

"Is that so?" He asks and I nod. He just stares at me, squinting his eyes and smiling. Embarrassed, I look away and divert my attention to Daisy as she plays with my necklace with her little hands.

"How about Italian food? Do you like that?" He asks and I look at him. Why's he asking that?

"I do. Why?" I question, confused by his random question.

"Oh, it's just that I know this restaurant near by. They have killer pizza. Maybe you and I can get together there sometime." He suggests and I gulp. I've learned throughout time not to trust guys. Their intentions are always different than mine.

Why ?  

"Well, let's just say I'm quite intrigued. It's not everyday you find a gorgeous girl with a good heart." He compliments, sending me a wink and I feel my cheeks heating up. "I'd like to know more about you." He states, running a hand through his hair.

See this is what I call normal. Getting asked out by a nice guy who genuinely likes you. A guy with good intentions and who's not a killer.

But of course, I'm going to have to shut him down. I really hate doing that and I feel so bad afterwards but I can't go out with him. I can never be unfaithful to my husband, no matter who he is.

"I'd like to take you up on that offer but I'm married." I inform him, his eyes widening as soon as he hears the fact that I'm married. Why is it shocking to people that I have a husband? I'd really like to know.

"Are you having a laugh?" He says, cocking a brow as I shake my head. That's when he diverts his gaze to my left hand that's on daisy's back as Icontinue rocking her.

"Wait, you really are." He gasps, clearly taken back. "That is some rock." He says, looking at my ring. "Your husband must really want people to know you're taken, huh?" He chuckles and I hum. Oh, you have no idea. You'd be at the end of his gun as soon as you even look at me.

"I can't say I blame the guy." He winks and I smile. "Don't take this the wrong way but..." he starts but stops and rubs on his jaw sheepishly.

"What is it?" I ask him, curious about what he would say.

"I mean, what you're doing is really admirable but don't you think you're a little too young to settle down?" He interrogates. Wait, is this what shocks people the most? The fact that I'm young.

"Not when you find the right person." I force myself to say. What I really mean by that is: Not when a business man  forces you to marry him and threatens all your loved ones "Oh, I'm happy for you then. Forget I asked you anything. Let's go back to the kids."

LOUIS POV:

Pacing towards my account department I open the door to one of the accounting sector as Mr brown  stands behind me. I've a feeling today is going to be a good day.

A good day for collecting a database of yearly annual budget and statistics analysis.

You didn't think I forgot about the scumbags that held in my office previous month, I always do the job properly. And I'm certain that today, it's going to get messy.

They've been in my meeting room  for over a hour , i need to finish up with my upcoming event plan of my company .

"Mr , brown  tell Skyler  to make sure they're not feel any down and moreover give refresment to them I don't want them to judge as wrongly ." I order to which he nods and backs away.
