Look At Me (Completed)

CHAPTER 24: Where's the father?

GUILA's POV

I am here now in the office and it's been a week since the tour ended. But still I can't get Mark out of my mind. I am really in love with him but I am trying to stop this. All we have now is working relationship and speaking of that, his innovation got a lot of good reviews and it is selling good in the market. Good for him, good for the company.

While I am staring blankly at my computer, Georgina entered with files on her arms.

"Ma'am?" she said breaking my blank stare.

"You didn't knock," I said.

"Oh I am sorry," she said nervously. "I forgot."

"It's okay, come, give that to me," I smiled at her. She walked forward and gave the files to me.

"What are these files?" I asked.

"Operation's report Ma'am," she answered immediately and I nodded.

I feel like she has something to ask from me so when she was about to turn away from me, I asked, "When will be your mother's birthday?"

"The day after tomorrow Ma'am."

"Take her to Italy," I said. She widens her eyes as a big smile begins to form on her face.

"What Ma'am?" she asked astonished.

I put out my check book and signed one for her.

"Fifty thousand dollars?" she exclaimed.

"One week only, okay?"

"One week?" she's super shocked and I can trace waters on her green eyes.

"Leave now," I said before I cry too. I mean, Georgina's a hardworking girl. She deserves it. She thanked me and went out. So this is what it feels like to be kind and generous, it feels good. It somehow lessens my loneliness.

Anyway, I need to focus analyzing the operation's report handed to me by my secretary and as I decide to focus, someone entered and I just assumed that it's my secretary.

"How many times do I have to tell you Georgina to knock on the door first?" I said quite annoyed while looking down at the report.

"It's not Georgina," the female voice said. I slowly looked up and saw Charlene.

"So you came back. What are you doing here?" I asked her and gave her a side smile.

"I just want to hand this to you personally," she gave me a small red box.

"Are you proposing to me?" I joked.

"Shut up, I am not gay. It's just a key chain, a freebie from the convention I've been too."

"Brazil?"

"Yeah. Umm, so how was the tour with Mr. Winds-Carter?" she asked so curious.

"It... umm... went well. Received good reviews."

"Did you have fun? Did he make you happy?"

"What are you really up to Charlene?" I narrowed my eyes on her.

"I have evidences. Do you want an exhibit of it?" she smiled evilly.

"What are you talking about?" I pursed my lips and I got tensed but I try to compose and not lose my poise.

"Don't act like you're innocent, Guila. What happened on the tour?" she narrowed her eyes at me.

"Wait for my report later," I said trying to escape from her question.
