WHAT NEXT?

Chapter 3 (WHAT NEXT?)

Chapter 3

It was late in the evening.

Ryan went to Lisa's cubicle. It was big, atleast bigger than her previous one.

"Hey Lisa! Welcome to our office, I was wondering whether you could come with me over dinner?" Ryan said friendly.

"What? Are you asking me on a date? Have you lost your mental balance Jack?"

"Why do you always think so wrong? I thought I could explain you the other details of the job, and I was hungry as well, but now since you have taken it in the other direction it wouldn't be a good idea," Ryan said with I-am-so-innocent look on his face.

"Ohh no, sorry, its okay, I will come with you." Lisa thought about it. It would be rude and impolite if she refused to go.

"Okay then, I'll be waiting for you outside in 10 minutes!" 

Ryan was filled with a sense of pride. He felt as if he had achieved

something great.

'I did it! Yes! I convinced her for a dinner!' He started jumping like a little boy. The next 10 minutes he was planning out the night. He wanted to know her more. If he had told her about his real identity she would have never come with him. After all who had the guts to be sleeping with thier boss?  

The thought of making love to her made him go week on the knees.

'Not yet, Ryan, not yet!' He said to himself. 

A few minutes later she appeared like a Goddess,

"Hey Jack! Lets go." She looked so fresh, she had redone her mascara and eye shadow. Her lips were glossy. Hair tied up in a bun. She looked very professional wearing the black skirt and white shirt.

"Yes" he smiled and opened the door of the car for her.

"Wait, we are going in this?" She pointed towards the car.

"Yes, any problem?" He had forgotten that he was Jack for her, and Jack's salary wasnt obviously enough to buy a JAGUAR. The most expensive car she had known.

"It's the company's car."

"Are we allowed to use it? Shoudn't Sir Ryan get mad at us?"

"No dear, don't worry, he is a nice man, he lets me use his car. Now c'mon!"

He had thought of a 5 star hotel he would take her to. For him it was a secret date.

And for her, an informal business related meeting.  

'No' he thought again, 'I couldn't possibly take her to such an expensive place, otherwise she would start asking questions again! what if she finds out that I am Ryan and not Jack! No, I can't take that risk.' 

So instead he drove her to the outskirts of the city not very far from their company building.  

It took them around 20 minutes, and in that time Ryan replanned.  

First dinner, then a little talk, then a small walk, and then he thought, probably she would also fall in love with him or the least, be friends with him! It was a perfect plan. But he knew that it was just the beginning.
