**************************************************
I assumed her and we kept on walking towards the car; she did not recognize me since the last time she had seen me was when I was Kate's Chauffeur; by now I had changed a lot and it was also a bit dark. We drove to my house and had a few glasses of wine, then I drove Yvonne to her home.
After that night, I did not call her or text her again; I wanted to see if she would call or text first. The following day she did not call nor text and neither did I.
The whole of that week, she did not contact me and as much as I was getting tempted to contact her, I refrained myself from doing it. When a week was over and she had not contacted me, I just decided to forget her and move on; I assumed that I had not met her expectations during our first date.
The following week on Monday at noon, I had a meeting with a potential client and coincidentally, she picked the same Restaurant where Yvonne was working as our meeting point.
Since I knew the struggle I had made to get to where I was, business was always my first priority; I went to meet my potential client despite the fact that I was going to meet with Yvonne and temptations were on the highest probability.
My client's name was Tephy; we meet at the Restaurant as agreed. She was wearing an elegant dress which was matching her shoes and her purse. Also she had a beautiful hairstyle with her shiny black hair curling backwards like a flow of frozen water in a stony river.
Tephy had this convincing smile which was making me enjoy being around her; my business' future was depending on her response. If she agreed I be her supplier, that would be a game changer to my business and it would grow to a mega business.
I did all it took to convince her into giving me an year's contract, and then she promised to extend the contract to five years if I enticed her for the one year she gave me; she was a business lady who loved customer satisfaction as a field which is treated with a top priority, and also she loved quality.
To give my thanks to her for accepting my offer, I decided to buy her lunch since I too had not eaten and that was my best chance to have my lunch.
"Ma'am Tephy, if you don't mind, can I please buy you lunch?" I requested politely.
"I see what you are doing, you are trying to blackmail me so that I don't change my mind." She said jokingly as she smiled.
"No ma'am, I am just being a gentleman." I replied smiling back.
Just then Yvonne showed up from the back door of the restaurant and our eyes locked; I maintained an eye contact with her. Tephy realized that I was gazing at something and she was curious to see what I was looking at.
"Ooh! I see someone is in love here!" She said smiling after she saw that I was staring at Yvonne.
"Not really. It was just a crush but I guess it faded away some time back. So, should we order for the lunch?" I replied trying to change the subject.
"If you insist, go ahead; but I want her to serve us if you don't mind." She said looking at Yvonne.
"She is the supervisor." I replied.
"I know she is the supervisor but she is the one who serves me every time I eat here." She said beckoning Yvonne to come to the table.
"What are you going to take?" She then asked me with a light smile.
"Ladies first." I replied smiling back.
"I see you still playing gentleman huh! Alright, Yvonne get me some well done lamb chops accompanied by rosemary roast potatoes and some greens; Spinach or kales." She said looking at Yvonne who was standing beside the table with her order book and pen.
"Get me roast chicken with tumeric rice and greens as well. I prefer the barbecue sauce instead of sweet and sour so tell the chef not to give me sweet and sour." I then placed my order.
I could see mixed feelings in her eyes; she thought that Tephy and I were out on a lunch date because she met her telling me that I was trying to play gentleman.
Tephy enjoyed her meal and since she had somewhere else she wanted to go, she left me enjoying my dessert since I was the one taking care of the bills. She had already signed the business contract and for the next one year, her company was going to be my top priority client.
After she was gone, I sent Yvonne a text message requesting her to meet me outside for a minute but her response just got me surprised.
"Am sorry Haman but I am at work right now and I can't meet you anytime you just feel like meeting me. If you have nothing else to do, I have a lot to do and I will appreciate it if you stop nagging me." Read her reply to my text.
I read the message in disbelieve and reread it again and again, then I looked up and saw her giving me the devilish stare. I just got pissed off and frustrated at the same time. I got up from my seat then asked;
"Waiter, where is the bill? Or the meal was on the house and I was not informed?"
They all looked at each other wondering whom I was talking to, then Yvonne took the bill from the cashier and asked one of the guys to bring it to me.
The total bill added up to Ksh. 4500. I placed five thousand shillings notes in the bill folder, then I gave it to the the guy and said;
"Keep Change. Thank You for your service."
The guy just smiled broadly and appreciated my tip then walked to the cashier. I walked to my car and drove back to my business.
I could not concentrate at work, I was just think about Yvonne. I did not know why the sudden change of attitude in her but I was already into her; it was not easy to just let her go.
While seated in my office, I saw a black Mark X Toyota drive past the office door and parked past the door. A beautiful lady got out of the car and began walking towards my office.
I could see everything happening outside from the CCTV cameras connected to my office computer. The lady was wearing a mini dress, red in color.....
