Part 6
"Who's rider here?", Tin heard Jb roared outside of the meeting room. Two guys lifted their hands
"Lend me your helmet", she commanded as Tin emerged from the meeting room
"J, I'm on a dress. I can't mount on your motorcycle", Tin said. It's already seven pm and she's having one of those creative blockage. Jb told her to eat somewhere near her apartment then her friend will dropped her home. Tin's car was at the auto shop still and they will deliver it tomorrow at her office so Jb offered her a ride. Only, she's on a black wrapped around dress
Ron, one of the junior architect who's rendering overtime run to gave her his helmet
Jb looked down at her dress, "don't worry, you'll live". She turned to the young guy, "Are you sure it's ok to borrow this?"
"We… well, Ms. Queen, it's alright I can just use bus. I've been awake for twenty hours. It's not safe to ride when you're lacking on sleep", the poor boy stammered. The girl really knows how to intimidate
"Oks, good", she said giving the helmet to Tin
"Thank you Ron", Tin thanked her architect
They went to a food park and ordered a whole lot of foods that occupied a four sitter table.
"I texted Frida, she can't come", Tin announced while eating her second grilled tuna jaws
"Of course she can't, she's inlove again", Jb shook her head. "Frida never learns"
It's a chilly night on the middle of September and Tin was determined to eat everything before it turned cold.
"You're eating fast, jiv ji a jare", Jb said while chewing her dumplings
"What?"
Jb swallowed, "I said give me a share I want that too"
"Shucks J, you're such a weird lady", she said smiling
They laughed at their messy eating. "Oh someone ogling at you. Blonde bombshell eating like pacman, it's a thing apparently", Jb said winking. Her friend tilted her head toward a certain direction
She looked at that direction and found goup of guys two tables from them drinking beers, one guy winked at her and she winced, "oh shocks, not interested"
"He looks like Jabba the hut, alright, but anyways it's been a long time since I heard you date. I know that because Frida screamed in excitement", Jb stated
Christine was not interested in going out with another guy as she focused more in her responsibilities. "And you've been thinking about the guy with an aqua blue eyes", her conscience told her
They eye fucking each other, even in the morning, he said to himself as he saw the two architects talking closely at the end of the hallway. Christine is laughing at whatever the dark brown guy is saying. He walked towards them frowning. The girl felt his presence as she turned to him and then her smile dropped
"So are you ready with your presentation?", Luke growled when he stopped in front of them
"Mr. Roberts, good morning", Mark greeted with those smile he wanted to punch
"It might not be good if your proposal does not meet my expectations"
"You can enter in to our meeting room Mr. Roberts", the girl said stammering. "My engineer will be coming in a minute now but our power point presentation is ready"
"I'm still waiting for a damn engineer? We're wasting time", he said while walking past them and entered the room.
Mark followed him inside, "Sorry sir, we are not expecting you in fifteen minutes"
He heard Tin's voice said 'o here she is' so he turned to see who's she's talking to.
And there she is, the brown hair foxy lady from Wednesday walking towards their room. She's on that high ponytail that makes her cute face brighter. Now his day became brighter too, there goes the chess piece in his plan
"Jb, this is our client Mr. Luke Roberts", Tin introduced him to the woman who's staring at him blankly. If she's surprised, he can't tell. "Mr. Roberts, this is Engr. Jb Queen. She's the top structural engineer at Monroe Design Consultancy. She'll help us to discuss with you some of our design concerns"
Luke grinned as he offered his right hand to the girl for a handshake. "Finally", he said to the girl and almost winced with that hard grip. Wow, that's a heavy hand!
"Pleasure meeting you Mr. Roberts. Let's go down to our business", Jb said in a loud professional tone
"Clean lines, cutting edge geometries but with simplicity…."
Luke sat at the end of the table. Christine was presenting on his right while the queen was sitting at his left listening. Mark decided to sit at the right of Christine, nearest to the presentation so he can joined in and pointing out some details. The senior architect often looked at Christine smiling proudly, "fuckboi" he said to himself.
Annoyed, he decided to face a little left. He strategically commanded Dianne to sit at his far left to see the foxy lady clearly while the light of the presentation shining on her face
"The key to this is to stabilize the soil Mr. Roberts", Christine informed him and she looked at the girl sitting opposite her, "Jb can discuss the details for you"
He looked at the girl in his left smiling. He decided to leaned on his right arm with cheeks propped on his hand so he can melt the brown hair beauty with his stare
"Based from my experience, the geotech guys usually recommend soil nails on those kind of soil. That would be expensive but I was told that money is not a problem here", the girl said as she stared at him deadpanned.
"Are you experienced?", he blurted
"You can nail a soil?", his assistant asked so the girl turned to her left instead and he rolled his eyes
"You call it as such but it's a series of anchor rods…..", she continously babbled and then she faced him while finishing whatever technical thing she's discussing. Of course, you should look at your prospective client more than a mere assistant!
Luke side looked at Christine and he caught her looking at him too and she blushed and returned her eyes to Jb. He loved that blushed before and now he loved it even more, "Whatever you want Ms. Queen, I know you are capable in doing this project"
"Are you sure? We can always have a second opinion about it", Dianne told him, trying to get his attention. This is interesting, three women vying for his attention.
"It is better to contact a geotechnical company to study the soil in your area Mr. Roberts", Tin chimed in. "Jb can give you some of the companies they've worked with, right J?"
"Yes I can", the girl replied smiling at Tin. Why do Tin gets a smile and not him? He asked himself
"Do you have calling card , Jb?", he asked. At least he can get her phone number
The girl lifted her right eyebrows, "I think your assistant can follow up Monroe about it. We worked with you twice", she replied. Ouch!
"Yes I did have you're company contact number. I'll call you", his assistant said
