"Mr. Kian please don't hang up!"

Kian looked confused about the woman speaking. Her voice was familiar but he couldn't spot it. She said it too quickly and she sounded nervous.
"Who are you ma'am?" Kian responded.

"It's Celia Wiley, from Linda's cafe..." Celia spoke awkwardly, five seconds later she continued: "The waitress. Do you remember me?"

Kian felt lost in his thoughts then a smile appeared on his face.
"Hello Miss Celia! How are you?" He said it with an excitement tone.
She replied: "I am fine Mr Kian, what about you?"
He stood up, turned his back to Grey's face and Leaned on the desk behind him.
Kian : "I am good! I went to the cafe today but it was closed unfortunately."

Celia bit her lips, it's a habit she has whenever she's nervous and said : "Yeah about that, ummm..." Took a breath and continued with the same nervous tone : "Can we meet in the cafe?"

Kian responded awkwardly :"Yeah sure. See you at 8?" Celia looked at her hand watch. It was 6 o'clock . Then she said : "Yes Great, bye for now." Kian said "Goodbye" and hung up the call then turned around to face Grey but still scrolling through his phone.

"Stop blushing like a teenager girl and tell me who was it?" Grey spoke sarcastically.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Kian said it while still staring at his phone to avoid eye contact with Grey.

"Hey, hey, hey I am your boss look at me when I speak to you." Grey responded with a doubtful comment.

Kian rolled his eyes and gave him "are you for real now?!" look.

"Ugh fine, I met this girl a month ago in a cafe. I found her pretty cool and can work as my secretary here but she declined my offer because she wanted to work with her father there." Kian replied with his arms crossed and neutral face.

"That's it?! Dude when was the last time you got laid?! Like seriously why are you this dead?!" Grey sounded disappointed, after all he is the most desired man a woman can wish for.
Greyson Hutton is the seductive evil spirit like it was his job or something.

"I know you're concerned about my sex life but it's not your business. I don't need another mother now." Kian answered.

Grey took his way to Kian, stood in front of him with a doubtful look on his face and questioned : "You are still a virgin, aren't you?"

Kian pushed off Grey's chest and walked to the door while snapping: "Fuck off!"

"Where are you going?!" Grey jested then broke into laughter.

"I have a friendly date to attend." Kian affirmed.
Kian exited the office to prepare himself for his date, thinking of the clothes that he has to wear to impress Celia, he has a crush on her since he met her. Suddenly a voice came from the background: " Use protection." And of course it was Grey's.

"Shut up!" Kian shouted from the corridor.

Grey walked back to his chair, put his feet on the desk in front of him and assured : "He will die alone, I swear."

Linda Cafe

Celia cleans up the place, mops the floor, wipes tables. She looks at the wall clock with exhaustion, it was almost 8 pm.
She hurries to the restroom, fixes her make up and hair. Then goes back to the kitchen to prepare two cups of iced tea.
Puts the cups on a table and waits for Kian's arrival.

He shows up on the locked door, two minutes later, wearing a well done grey Polo shirt which defines his muscular body and black tight jeans.
She opens the door for him with a smile on her face. He smiles politely back at her.

"Hello mister Kian, please have a seat." Celia gushed.

They both sat down and the awkward tension filled the air. Kian tried to break the silence and said : " So how is work?"

Celia looked at the floor and replied: "It's okay." She gazed at Kian and continued : "What about yours?"

"It's great yet exhausting. Employees can get really annoying sometimes, specially because I am the HR manager so it's all on me." He answered.

"Believe me picky costumers are worse." Celia commented.

Kian giggled after hearing that and confirmed: "Well you declined my offer so it's on you."

"Yeah, about that.." Celia mumbled : "Is the job still unoccupied?"

"Umm.. that's unfortunate, we hired someone last week." He replied.

Her eyes were full of sadness. But she can't give up. She needs to find a job to save her father.
While she was lost in thought, Kian looked at her at her and said : " What's wrong with the cafe? I thought you liked working here with your father."

"I do like working here but you know we have bills to pay and I thought about an extra job" Celia affirmed him while placing her hand on the cup in front of her, trying to avoid eye contact because she can't tell him why she needs the money, she doesn't want him to feel pity on her.

Few seconds of silence passed and neither of them said a word. Kian looked at her and saw her staring at the window on her right, he felt sorry for her even if it's not his fault and wanted to give a hand because the hazel eyed girl stole his attention a month ago when he first entered the cafe.

"The cafeteria in the enterprise needs some help." He offered.

She looked at him and her beautiful smile appeared again. "I would do anything!" She exclaimed.

"Okay great, meet me tomorrow in Hutton Enterprise at 9 am and I will show you what you'll have to do." Kian emphasized.

Out of excitement, Celia ran and hugged him tightly. He was shocked for a couple of seconds but then he hugged her back and patted her shoulder gently.
