Chocoholic... a healthy love story

Chapter 12

For the next few days Isabella avoided Kal as much as she could. She was happy that Emma was back and like always Emma loved the juicy gossips that she had to tell her.
The fashion show was coming and her first salary as well. She wanted to buy herself something nice for the fashion show but Emma assured her that she had everything under control and that she didn't have to spend her money on clothes and shoes.

She wanted to save up a bit so that she could fly home for a short holiday, to see her family .
Isabella made her way down the corridor and saw Adrian coming her way, he was busy talking to a man that he didn't see her . Since the day she left him waiting for her at Kal's house she had tried to stay out of his way so that he didn't ask her why she left. She opened the door to the closest office and walked in fast. She closed the door leaving it slightly open and peeped through the opening and watched as Adrian walked by.

" Phew!", She said smiling and when she turned around ,she wiped that smile off her face and her cheeks became pink.

She smiled embarrassingly as she said hi to Kal and the other man who had been standing behind her and staring at her.

" Excuse me", she said as she hurried out of that office .

" Gosh! I always manage to embarrass myself around him somehow!", she said as she took her phone out of her pocket .

Emma was calling her and she hurried to answer,

" Hi Emma!", Isabella said as she listened to her friend on the other side of the line.

The fashion show was tonight and Emma was freaking out the whole day. It was the fifth time that she had called her today.

" Emma you will be fine.I have my last class today and I will rush home afterwards ok!Ill meet you back at the house!", Isabella said and after saying goodbye to Emma she hung up the phone and walked to the office .

As she walked in to her surprise Adrian was in there speaking to Mrs. Cora.

Great..just great!, Isabella thought as she smiled shyly at Adrian and walked to her desk.

He wouldn't dare ask me anything in front of Mrs. Cora !, Isabella thought and she smiled . She busied herself with the documents she had to put in order on her desk.

" Miss Garcia", Adrian called her name and she looked up at him.

" Just letting you know that the project is coming along really well and soon we will be able to taste the chocolates that would be put in those boxes", Adrian said to her approaching her desk.

" That's Great Mr. Dukas! I'm sure it will be a success specially since the festive season is coming up",Isabella replied .

At that time Adrian was standing close to her desk and she wasn't comfortable with the way he was looking at her.

" You look really beautiful today", Adrian whispered catching her off guard and she started to cough.

" Are you ok?", Adrian asked as he got her some water from the water dispenser in the office.
As she took the cup of water from Adrian he held her hand and softly caressed her and at that moment Isabella noticed that Kal had walked in and was staring at her and Adrian.She quickly pulled her hand away from Adrian's causing her to drop the plastic cup on the floor.

"I'll get someone to clean that!", Isabella said getting up in a hurry and walking out of the office to get someone to clean that mess on the floor .

She didn't looked at Kal as she walked past him, she hurried and closed the door to the office.
She was glad to be out of that office, she saw a lady cleaning the floor in the corridor and kindly asked if she could go clean up the water on the floor in Mrs. Cora's office. She checked her watch it was almost time for lunch and for her to leave.
She waited until she saw Adrian and Kal leaving the office and then she ran back inside and grabbed her bag. Like usual Mrs. Cora was too busy to answer when she said goodbye.

She ran down the corridor hoping not to meet neither of the Dukas's brothers and when she got in the elevator all alone she let out a deep sigh .
She smiled as she stood outside the company, she was happy , last class and weekend tomorrow. She was super excited for Emma for the fashion show tonight and she couldn't wait to go and have some fun with her best friend!

Kal stood in his office looking down below , he saw Isabella running towards the bus stop and he checked his watch.
He turned back and sat down at his desk, he tried to read all the documents but his mind kept thinking about earlier when he had walked in on Adrian holding Isabella's hand. He toyed with the pencil in his hands and then broke it in two and put it in the waste bin.Someone knocked on his door and he said to come in.

Heidi walked in inviting him to lunch, she was taking part in a fashion show tonight and didn't have time for him for the rest of the day until after the fashion show.He smiled at her as she sat on his lap and kissed him. For the first time as Heidi's lips touched his the only person that came to his mind was Isabella. He suddenly stopped kissing Heidi and looked at her, she was looking at him with a question mark on her face.

" Sorry .. I just thought of something", Kal said as he pulled her closer.

" Will your father be able to come tonight?!", Heidi asked.

" No , I will be representing the company and Adrian will be there as well!", Kal replied .

" Speaking of Adrian... he was supposed to ask one of my friends to come with him , a model from here.., Lola. I'll give her call and see if she will be coming with him!", Heidi said as she kissed Kal on the tip of his nose and got up from his lap.

" Are you coming for lunch?", Heidi asked when Kal didn't move.

He was thinking about Adrian trying to get with Isabella and at the same time going out with one of Heidi's friends.

That Adrian will never change! Well if Isabella is interested in him let her be!, Kal said to himself as he got up from his desk and walked up to Heidi who put her arms around his neck and kissed him softly.

This is the sort of woman I need in my life!, Kal thought as he kissed Heidi passionately.
But at the back of his mind the picture of Isabella kept popping up.
