I Hate You with All my Heart!

Chapter 15

The next few days saw Zandro hurrying home, his employees were delighted with his new schedule, by 500 PM, he is out of there. He made sure that Kassy's schedule coincides with his. He secretly bought shares of the ad agency she works for, and one of the things he changed was the work schedule. Kassy was puzzled when she went to his house the first day the new schedule was implemented. She told him she heard rumours that some foreigner bought shares in their agency and revamping some areas of the advertising company. No one was complaining, in fact, majority welcomed the change. Adding to this was that most of the Creative staff especially the copywriters can telecommute. They only go to the office three times a week.

That was two months ago, Kassy is now nearing the end of her contract with Zandro not that it still held anymore significance since her and DeeGee started their no-label relationship. It has become more intense. Kassy was shocked how nice Zandro is to her now but also worried of his possessiveness. He really is intense when it comes to her. She tries distancing herself from him because she is still not fully invested in this thing they have nor does she completely trust him yet. He is too good looking, he has too many lady friends in his past. Well that's what he says, his past. She refuses to fully believe him. She refuses to fall for him. They do not mention feelings here. She doesn't want him like that she keeps telling herself. He is just somebody she has the major hots for. She kept reminding herself she hates this type of guy: too good looking, too confident, too successful, too much of everything seriously! He started sending her gourmet lunches a few weeks ago, she made him stop because her colleagues were starting to tease her. She just told them it's a promo she won when she bought some kitchen ware. She remembered how upset Zandro was.

"Babe, I like sending you my favorite meals! Plus it comes from one of my hotels," Zandro was messing up his hair with his hand, he's stressing out, and Kassy was stressing him out. She doesn't like it that he is having lunches delivered to her office. In fact, she does not want him nor his shadow in the vicinity of her workplace.

"I appreciate the thought but I do not want or need them. Stop sending your lunches or I will stop coming here." Kassy hurriedly walked back to the kitchen where she was preparing Zandro's meal. Eversince their "thing" started, she just only goes to his house every other day. Zandro does not like it but these are one of those concessions he allows, Kassy is now more than a personal assistant to him.

Zandro took a deep breath and stopped sending her meals.

"Kassy I need to talk to you," her Creative department chief said when she saw him on the hallway while she was on her way to the Art department. "Come by my office before you go home this afternoon. I need to tell you this in person." Tomorrow, Kassy works from home.

She was really curious and a tiny bit nervous why the boss wanted to talk to her one on one. Could it be...

There were some hasty last minute meeting with the Art Department, Kassy was running back to their office area so she can catch her boss.

"I'm here!" Kassy announced, not bothering to knock as she almost slid into her boss' office.

"Sit down Kassy," he was smiling at her.

Kassy's nervousness evaporated at that smile. She smiled back. Chief told her what he wants and she was just too happy she almost went around the table to hug him.

"Dear God, that's awesome! They actually asked for me?" Kassy was so excited.

"Yes, they did. Some of the artists are already there, you are billeted with them at a hotel in Itaewon. You leave as soon as possible. You will be there for at least a week, we'll go from there and in case they require more time then we extend." Chief stood up and shook Kassy's hand. "You are one one the main reasons we got this account. Good luck there Kassy!"
