Love Over Everything

Chapter Eight

“Hello, Rita.” Naomi greeted her brother’s receptionist. Rita was almost the same age as Naomi but a little taller than Naomi.

“Naomi, it’s been a while. How are you?” She asked with a smile.

“Fine and you?”

“I’m good too. Luis will be very happy to see you since you hardly come by.”

Naomi chuckled. “I know; I was in the neighbourhood so I decided to come to say hi. Is he in?” Naomi asked, pointing to the direction of her brother’s office.

“Yes, you can go in,” Rita said. Naomi told her a thank you before making her way to Luis’s office.

Like always Luis had his face buried in work. He was seated behind his desk, going through some documents. Naomi could see a slight frown on his forehead. He did not notice she was in his office until she spoke.

“You need to get a life outside this office, Luis.”

Luis recognized the voice to be his sister’s voice and a smile took over his handsome face.

“Naomi, what a pleasant surprise!” He said, then stood up from where he was sitting, approached his younger sister who was standing beside the door and pulled her into a hug.

“I guess someone missed me.” She chuckled as she returned her brother’s hug. Luis smiled and kissed her forehead.

Luis Browne very protective of Naomi, he loved her like no other and always wanted to see her happy. She was his younger and only sibling so he always felt the need to protect her and be there for her as much as possible.

When Luis heard about her breakup, he had wanted to go beat up Connor for breaking his sister’s heart. Unfortunately, Luis couldn’t accomplish that mission as he was stopped by Naomi and his Parents. They made him understand that ending things with Naomi was better than entering into a loveless marriage with her.

“So how was your trip?” She asked him as he guided her to a couch which was opposite his desk.

Luis shrugged before he answered. “It was normal; full of business talk and all of that.”

Naomi rolled her eyes as they both took their seats. “You should create time for yourself Luis. It shouldn’t be about work all the time.”

Luis chuckled. “I will, baby sis. It’s just that there’s been so much to do since we launched the new project. But I plan on taking a vacation in two weeks.”

“Enough about me. How are you? How was the function you attended last week?”

“I’m fine. The function was okay but please don’t ever beg me to represent you or mom in any function again, I got tired of those long, boring business talks.”

Luis laughed out loud. His sister had never shown any interest in the business world. “But you just said it was okay.” He teased.

“Yeah, I kind of had someone to talk to and the most important thing now is that I’m over Connor.”

Luis smiled. “Mom must be so proud of herself for bringing up the idea of you representing the family.”
