Chocoholic... a healthy love story

Chapter 22

Isabella sat down in the office waiting for the phone to ring for her to go with the others to the production company which was across town. She had been excited about going there since she always had that funny thought that it looked like Willy Wonka's chocolate factory! She smiled at that thought.
Her office phone rang and she quickly picked it up , someone from the other side of the line asked her to come to the reception.

She was disappointed that it wasn't Kal who called her , she got up and walked to the elevator.
When she was close to Kal's office the door opened and Kal walked out laughing with another man. Some other people followed him and Isabella noticed Heidi and Adrian were there as well. As Heidi spotted her down the corridor, she quickly grabbed onto Kal's arm and Isabella noticed how she looked over her shoulder checking if she was still staring at them.

Isabella quickly looked at her phone pretending to be typing something.She waited for them to get in the elevator first and once they were gone , she walked up to the elevator and pressed the button for the reception.As she stepped out of the elevator a young man called her over,

" Miss Garcia come with me please", he said as she approached him and they walked in the  conference room located close to the reception.

The table in the middle of that room was covered with gift bags, bottles of Champagnes and chocolates.She looked around in amazement, and then looked at the young man.

"What is all of this?", Isabella asked smiling as she touched the pink gift bags with " Passion and Chocolate" written in gold on there.

" Gifts for the guests and some of their staffs . Mr. Kal told me to get you to pack the bags and get them delivered to the conference room upstairs . I'll be waiting and ma'am you have one hour to finish everything", the young man said and Isabella looked at the gift bags and the list of people.

" Gosh that's a lot! Will I even finish this lot in one hour!?", Isabella said as she sat down at the table not knowing where to start.

" Instead of me going with them to the production company,I'm stuck here packing party bags! Like I'm at some kids birthday party", Isabella said to herself as she started packing the bags and she looked down at her clothes and added " so much for dressing up to assist Mr. Dukas".

After what felt like an eternity  that she had been packing the gift bags she looked at the young man who was playing on his phone,

" This box is damaged !", Isabella said to him.

" Well, don't mind me . I hate wasting good chocolates!", Isabella said as she opened the box and took one of the chocolates and put it in her mouth.

" Oh my! Does everything they produce here taste SO GOOD!", Isabella said as she let the chocolate melt in her mouth.

" Take one", she said offering the young man who looked around , hesitating before he took one of the chocolate from the box.

He smiled shyly at Isabella as he ate it.
Isabella packed the bags glad that she knew how to do it . She had nephews and nieces and would be the one usually packing their guests party bags at their birthday parties.

" The only thing missing is a piñata!", Isabella said and the young man laughed and suddenly Isabella noticed how his face became serious. She slowly turned around and saw Kal standing behind her.

" Good afternoon Sir ", the young man said and then Kal asked him to leave.

He walked in front of Isabella and looked at her, she had busied herself in finishing with packing the bags.

" I gave you something to do but you spend your time making the driver laugh", Kal said as he looked through the bags.

" Excuse me Sir, but a little humor is good for ones health so you should actually think of smiling a bit instead of being so grumpy!",Isabella replied without looking at him.
