Cynthia ..was up early......the next morning.............she smelled the aroma of coffee........then shot up from bed,,when she realised there was someone in her apartment''
"good morning miss.....Mr Brian instructed me to look after you''..the office pantry maid.....greeted ......Cynthia began to sulk'
' really am i such a baby ,,that i need someone to look after me...she began to speak''..she pushed the sheets away and got out of bed
and headed to the bathroom....a cold shower..will perk her up.....she thought...but yelped when the cold water touched her body'
'' miss...are you alright........
'' i am allright..........now leave me alone...
'when cynthia came out of her room...the maid was gone....her dining table was laden with food.......'' thank heavens....'' the maid is gone..'' she said loudly but her happiness was short lived..... Marcus Shane was seated comfortably on her sofa..with a cup of coffee'
'' just checking on my responsibility......'' he said and smilled.......he knew he had gotten on her nerves
how else was he going to get her to talk.....either she will stay away or remain silent
'' finish your breakfast Miss Mathews....we leave in an hour......
'' i can drive thank you.......'' she replied
i know that too.....but i was requested by your boss..to drive you to the office..that's exactly what i am going to do
''arrgh..thought Cynthia.....Brian Smith was was too protective over her.......she needed to tell him off in a gentle manner.......because of him she had to put up with Marcus shane.....
Cynthia was ready in an hour,,she had eaten well..........
Nice suit'' miss Mathews,...Marcus Shane praised and walked ahead of her.
Cynthia sat quietly beside him as he drove........ten minutes more to her office.....drivers were honking at something......Cynthia was curious so she looked out and saw the cause of all the honking,,,,,,,,on a billboard......a huge valentine greeting was painted..'' Be My Valentine , Cynthia,,the entire billboard was painted with all sizes of red hearts..with roses everywhere''
''WOAW......Marcus Shane almost shouted and stopped the car...and whipped out his mobile phone and recorded the painting on the billboard'
"'what are you doing..'' scolded Cynthia and tried to grab his phone,,,,hoping to delete what he recorded''
the entire city has probably seen this.......Miss Mathews.......Marcus Shane replied and roared with laughter'
''This guy surely loves you .."....he continued.......and started driving....again
The entire office staff cheered as Cynthia walked in hurriedly covering her face with her handbag.......
''Cynthia dear.......talk to this guy.......he seems serious.....Brian Smith added fuel to the fire'
" Richard...!! urggh......Cynthia slammed her phone down.and dialled his number.......she knew she was fond of him and he of her ...she also knew Richard was capable of such things
Richard could not be reached on his mobile.......so Cynthia had no choice but to wait for him....meanwhile the office staff were admiring the recordings....of such a profession of love.....'' Mmmm wish i had a lover who could do that for me.....Lily sighed
the meeting room plunged into silence as Cynthia....Brian And Marcus walked in...all the fine details was cleared and the next morning the charity booth was to be opened at 7 a.m........having prepared everything ....the staff were delegated to the Bukit Bintang Plaza car park............the booths were....decorated with baloons and colorfull streamers.......
The crowd was slowly pulling in and by 8.a.m....the next morning...it was full.......children were excited..........special children were wheeled in.......the sponsors were satisfied with everything.......a clown appeared and entertained the children who tailed him every where........he laughed with them..Cynthia immediately recognised that voice.....Marcus Shane........Cynthia was beyond shock.......this was another side of him that surprised her.......she was irritated by him...one minute he mocks and laughs and teases her..the next minute he was clowning himself for the sake of little unfortunate children......'' God Bless You for this Marcus Shane... she said softly then suddenly caught the clown looking at her..he ran after her with his arms wide open..... Cyhthia scooted off like scared rabbit..........the children were deliriuos with joy........food was shared.......gifts were given........finally the speech....and the amount collected.....stunned Cynthia........ . a well wisher had presented the charity Organisation with a cheque for 2 million dollars........and the person wished to remain anonymus........
'' wow '' i wish this person was my boyfriend...Lily said.....dreamily'
"what if this person is a woman....'' shannie asked.....''
" she will be my girlfriend.......'' laughed Ramsey......
the day ended succesfully........though al the staff were tired to their bones the satisfaction of caring for the less fortunate was far more greater than their fatigue.......''Brian Smith clinked on a glass'''and got all eyes on him'' listen people..''this call for a celebration...he announced
the staff were excited when he mentioned a dinner and dance party at the Palace of Golden Horses..........Asia"s Most Extraordinary Hotel...
''time to get out my evening gown........shanie said..and nudged lily...who was in her own little world.....'
