Magically Affected

The Hansens

I don't know how I've managed to Maintain my job these past 3 months but I have and I'm loving my job very much I don't want to leave. I've gotten used to work now ,to Mr. Hansen being such a pain, a gorgeous one too at that, the enormous work load.

So I almost got fired today ,uninteresting story actually. Mr. Hansen has the entrepreneur's conference this Friday and yours truly forgot to book a hotel room . We found that Mr. Hansen's jet is also in repairs thus we are driving all the way to Frankfort and back that very day cause we can't miss the conference and Mr. Hansen has the elite entrepreneurs meeting afterwards.

Several hours in a car alone with Mr Hansen, should be pretty interesting. Thankfully I still have my job which is a miracle if I'm being truthful. Also, we are going to Kentucky which makes me sad and happy all at once. I mean i'm going to Kentucky but not home but at least I get to breathe Kentucky air for the first time in years.

Edward's pov

So once again Geneva has proven to be the worst secretary ever and once again I didn't fire her. I'm not sure why I'm not able to but I've got to admit she's like a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stuffy office.

Riiiinnnggg Riiiinnnggg, I hear snapping me out of my thoughts. I check my phone to see its Kate.

This is weird, Kate rarely calls me when I'm at work. I pick the call

'Hey, Eddie' I could tell she was laughing by her voice.

'You are calling me at work, why?' I say bluntly.

' I'm here'

'Here where? '

' Here at your office, I'm speaking to your secretary,Eva ' she says and of course it dawns upon me as to what she was talking about.

Im out of my seat and opening the door in split second.

'That was fast ' Katherine says hanging up the phone. She was laughing at me. Kate and I have been good friends for soo long that even married we still act like friends.

I move to hug her then I ask her

' What are you doing here?'

' I went to see Gran and she insisted I come here to tell you she has missed you so come see her and besides Maxwell wanted to see you' she says then I notice Max for the first time talking to Eva. He seems really taken with her.
He says something and Geneva laughs like full out and I'm left just staring her, her laugh was soo beautiful to see . She doesn't laugh around me often and that thought brought out a dull ache in my heart.

Kate and I go into my office and we talk for a while about the company and other friendly topics until Kate decided to talk about Eva.

'Eva seems like a nice girl' she says to me sneakily.

'I know she is, she works for me'

'She's pretty too and Max seems to like her a lot ' She says and I majorly facepalm.

'Stop trying to set me up. I'm happily married to you. 'I say exasperatedly.

' You don't love me ' she says sadly.

'You don't love me either but we make it work' I say evenly

'But you deserve a shot at real happiness '

'I'm happy, look I promised my brother I would marry you and take care of his unborn baby and that is what I'm doing' I say my brother's lifeless body in my mind. It's all so clear in my head 6 years ago, the day my brother died. It's my fault, I remember that day as if it was yesterday .

' You are thinking about that day too aren't you? ' Kate asks tears forming in her eyes.

' I am '

' You know Mike would want you to be happy living your own life. I know you think it's your fault but it's not. Living his life for him is not going to make his death any easier on anybody. ' She says and I try to drown her out. We've had this conversation soo many times.

I just wish she will understand that I want to be there for her and Max. Not just because I promised my brother I would but because I know they need me.

' I promised my brother and that's what I'm going to. If there's nothing else to say then I will see you when I get home. Send Max in when you leave ' I say with soo much finality.

Kate leaves and Max comes barging in a second later.

' Dad' he says the biggest smile on his face.

' How's my boy doing? '

' Fine sir. ' he says saluting me. I smile he smiles then we both burst into laughter. He comes to sit on my lap. He looks at me and asks so innocently that I threatened to go into another laughing mood.
' Dad, do you believe in love at first sight? '

I keep my face as straight as I can and answer

' As a matter of fact I do now why are you asking?'

' Cause I just fell in love ' he says soo casually that my brows rose.

' And how did falling in love feel son? '

' Like lightening straight through my heart' I'm laughing once more then I ask

' Have you been watching any soap operas ?' I ask accusingly. Max just smiles soo innocently it's obviously he is guilty. I laugh again.

' So who's the lucky girl? '

' Eva' he says hand pointing towards the door.

I burst out laughing again when it dawns on me that he's talking about Geneva.

' Why do you keep on laughing? Are you laughing at me? ' Max asks eyes wide staring up at me.

' I'm just bewildered, my little boy is soo grown up already having his first crush 'I say running my hand through his hair.

' Oh but she's very pretty. ' Max say

' That she is son, that she is. Now let's get you back to your mother. Quick up son. ' I say and we make our way out.

Kate and Eva seem to be striking it off I observe. I hug Max and Kate one more time. Max goes to hug Eva and I can't help but awww at them. I take in the scene and I can clearly see that Eva will be a good mother someday. I snap out my thoughts ,escort Kate and Max down. having small talk with Kate about the weather or whatever usually married couples who have been married for as long as we have talk about.

The day goes as normal as it can get after that. Fortunately, Geneva didn't make any more mistakes after this mornings huge mistake. That's good.
