I couldn't fall asleep, thinking about how Liza and I will be heading to work together, I had already informed my driver to be coming earlier to Legacy to pick the both of us. She had no idea it was my driver, I may tell her in future if we get more closer. Earlier I had informed Monica to ensure that we got an office for both of us, I decided to be working in morning and evenings in Liza's office, to keep her company while on daytime I should in my own office as the CEO.

The day was fantastic, the air was perfumed with happiness as she was the first person I saw, she was indeed an early bird. She found me half naked, she was staring at my body, I thought she'd be uncomfortable but I was wrong, she was bold as usual. I yearned to hold her arm, I just popped the question and surprisingly she said yes. Her arms were cold, I rubbed them till they got little warmer. Few moments we were in the company, after a long walk as she suggested we shouldn't use the elevator.

From her face, I could tell she was satisfied with the office, I decided to get the flowers from the car. I already asked my driver to pick them from the shop I showed him on his way to Legacy apartment. I was at the door when I heard music from inside, I opened the door slowly not to interrupt. I saw Liza dancing it was crazy, poor girl she needs training on dancing. Me too I needed dancing classes, I wasn't better. If someone could have told me Liza was innocent, I'll have accepted but from this scene, this girl is crazy.

She stopped the moment she sensed my presence, I handed her the flowers and she couldn't stop shedding tears. To my surprise she was happy. Time flew fast, it was her time to leave to her other job. We had to use the elevator or she will be late.

We got into the elevator to the ground floor was the final destination. I hope to receive a hug in return before she gets into the car.

"Can you hold my hand I'm feeling a little dizzy".

I hope she wasn't sick, I held her arm as she requested. Within two seconds she collapsed, what was happening?

"Liza? Liza what is wrong?"

She can't faint in an elevator. What could be the problem? Too many questions the one to answer was laying breathless in my arms. Luckily we got to the ground floor, I was carrying her in my arms. I didn't want to cause any commotion, headed straight to the parking.

"What happened boss?"

"She collapsed, Open the door".

He opened the door and we had to rush her to the hospital.

"Where to Boss?"

"Karen Hospital, it'll take us ten minutes right?"

"Yes".

I was scared, what was wrong with her. Thankfully I heard her cough.

"Water please".

I handed her a bottle of water. She relaxed a bit.

"Where are we going? "

You are sick, how can she even ask such a question.
"To the hospital, after you've collapsed where else should we take you Liza?"

"But I'm not sick".

"You are, don't even try to argue with me".

"Hey, stop the car, drop me here I need to get to work in 15 minutes".

She ordered the driver and he did so.

"Mark, if you dare stop the car consider yourself fired".

"But I Will be late, and I'm not sick, why are you not listening".

"Then explain to me what happened".

"Something normal".

"What do you mean normal?"

"Okay, I got phobia for elevators, I feel breathless when inside, reason I asked you I'm the morning for us to take the stairs ".

"Well, I didn't know, and I'm really sorry but you got me worried Liza".

"I know, next time I'll use the stairs".

With her collapsing, that was the scariest part, she was sick days ago and that almost killed me, I had to get her to the Bank. I needed to observe her a little, but I was glad she was okay. Being far away from her would definitely make me anxious, but I'll try my best.

"Here we are ma'am," said the driver.

I wish the journey would be longer, at the same time she would get late.

"Liza,"

"Yes".

"Take good care of yourself, have lunch and Mark will be picking you at exactly five, don't forget that".

"I won't sir".

"Don't call me that Liza".

"I was just kidding, now can you let go of my hand?"

I forgot, her arm in my hands again.

"Come here," I gave her a hug.

"Have a nice day you two. Bye".

She stepped out and left. The driver turned the car and we headed to the company on our way Mark had something to say.

"Sir, do you like her?"

"Whom do I like?"

"Ma'am Liza, do you like her?"

"Why would you ask such a question Mark?"

"Well, the way you reacted when she had collapsed says alot sir, the way you look at her says alot sir" .

"She is different Mark".

"I can tell".

Probably I was smiling, Mark could notice.

"I do like her a little, she is hardworking, smart and most importantly she is very cute".

" Nice, but sir you should find someone before your mum finds you another girl".

He was right, but love can't be rushed. I didn't want to settle down because of my mother, I want to find love, someone compatible, to love her and she returns the same love. To get in a marriage where love exists, that was my dream. I was patiently waiting for the lady that will give me the love that my body and soul wanted.

I was in the office, the place, felt empty for a moment, weeks went by, into month and the project was almost complete. Liza and I grew into friends. I loved her company more, a hardworking soul, she even suggested the paint for the houses. A first learner she even started making her own house designs, she says it was for her family, a house she wanted to surprise her mother with. If I don't get a chance with her, I ask God to give me a hardworking daughter like her.
