The Arranged Marriage

CHAPTER ONE

CIARA

I walk into Mrs.Rosewood's office,closing the door behind me.

"Good morning Mrs.Rosewood"I greet my boss.

"Good morning Ciara"She smiles before taking a sip of her coffee.

Mrs.Rosewood is a very sweet 47 year old mother of 15 year old twins.Their names are George and Georgia.

Two years ago I had been disowned by my parents and was roaming around the streets in the rain when I had saved her life.

Since then she had made it her mission to give me a job and a shelter as a repayment and I couldn't be happier with her generous offer.

So basically,we both saved each other's life.

"Ciara I have been wanting to ask you this since yesterday but I keep on forgetting"She says rubbing her temples.

"Are you free this weekend?"She asks and I nod after a minute of recalling my schedule.

"Great!Then I will call you so that you can come over to my place.I want you to meet someone"She says and I frown.

"Who?"

"It's a surprise"She smirks,knowing how much I hate surprises.I am a very impatient person and now this will keep on disturbing me for the next three days.

I pout and she laughs."You can go now"She says pointing towards the door.

"Rude!"I yell out before closing the door behind me. I hear her laugh which makes me smile.

I walk down to the break room to get myself a cup of coffee when I hear shuffling behind me.

"Hey there love"George whispers in my ear making me jump a little."You idiot!"I squeal hitting his chest playfully."I am not your love!"

"Ok then,hey there secretary"He smirks and I roll my eyes."I am your mom's secratary George not yours.Its Ciara for you"I say picking up my cup of coffee from under the machine.

"You're no fun"He pouts.

"Its because you are the one flirting with me"I say pressing the elevator button.

"What is that suppose to mean?"

"It means that you are a kid.You should flirt with girl's of your age not with 23 year old women"I say entering the lift.

He follows me inside."I am a man not a boy"He says folding his arms in front of his chest.

"Whatever you say big boy"I tease and he pouts.

"That's very unman like"I say referring to his pout.

"Unman like is not even a word"He says."Yes I know that George.I was just fucking with you"I smile sweetly before entering Mrs.Rosewood's office again.

"Look who's here to meet you!"I say enthusiastically making Mrs.Rosewood look up from her paperwork.

"Hey there darling"She smiles up at her son.

"Hey mum"He says,sitting down on the chair opposite to his mother's.

"What are you doing here?Didn't you have soccer practice today?"She asks him.

"Can't a son visit his mothe-"I cut him off.

"He wasn't here to visit you.He was here to flirt with your Secretary Mrs.Rosewood and she doesn't like it when kids flirt with her"I say earning a glare from George while Cassandra tries to stifle her laugh.

"Oops did I get you in trouble George?"I ask him putting a hand over my mouth."I didn't mean it though.I am sorry little boy"I say in a baby voice.

"But don't you worry.I will wait for you outside the office.Once you finish giving him a lecture call me"I tell Mrs.Rosewood who looks amused.

"I sure will".

"See you later George"I grin sticking my tongue out at him before running out the room.

As I walk out of the washroom I bump into someone."Oh god I am so sorry!"I apologise,rubbing my forehead.

"It's alright Ciara".

I look up to see my friend Katherine.

"Kate!I am sorry"I apologise again.

"I have been looking for you for the past ten minutes Ciara.Where have you been?"She asks ignoring my apology.

"I was in Mrs.Rosewood's office.Why?".

"We are going out for drinks tonight.Wanna come?"She asks.

"Who all?"I ask."Uh Stella,Sebastian,Kim,José and I"She replies.

"Well I don't have anything to do so why not?"

"Great!I will pick you up by 8"

"Okay"I say before heading back to my desk.
