Farrah's POV
Today is the first day of working with Ryan. It his hard trying to avoid him at all costs right now, considering that he is somehow the main priority of the company.
I don't really have anything to do right now. I'm done with all my paperworks. That's pretty much everything for today.
If only I can leave four hours earlier than normal.
"Farrah, there is an emergency meeting with the Mr. Éclair in about thirty minutes ", Jesah, my coworker, informed me. Well my wish to see my baby earlier than normal is gone now.
I prepared all my things for the meeting. I fixed myself and went to the loo to freshen myself up and headed to the conference room, earlier than necessary.
I sat on the dar end and Ellaine sat beside me.
I can see some board of directors and some people from the marketing and financial departments.
I saw Ryan walk inside the conference room and people went to him to greet him and discuss about business. I am trying to bow my head so that he can't see me. I'm sure that I'm doing a good job or probably he is just in a very interesting talk with Mr. Lawley.
After for about a good ten minutes, the meeting officially begun.
For two hours they talked about how the company is doing in the market. The company is fairly doing good this time and the partnership of the RE Conglomerate really helped raising the stocks.
After all the talk, the meeting was adjourned and people are already going out.
Ellaine went first because she has another meeting with the Advertising Department.
I'm still here waiting for Ryan to go out and finally he went out. Hallelujah.
I went out after a good five minutes when a voice called me.
"Farrah", Mr. Montgomery called out.
"Adrian", it really feels odd to be call you boss informally. It's so impolite.
"I didn't hear you voice out your thoughts today"
I looked down shyly. I didn't voice out and that is so unlike me just that I can't be noticed by my dear ex. "I really don't have anything to say this meeting"
He seems satisfied with my answer. "Oh well. May I ask the beautiful lady for a dinner or even just a simple date with me?", He said charmingly.
I looked at him apologetically. "I'm sorry Mr. Montgomery but I actually am not interested in dating", I know I have other more important priorities and my number one right now is Asher.
"Even just once?", he asked disappointedly.
"I thought that there is a rule about not dating employees thing"
"No there is no such rule. I abolished that", he shook his head.
I nodded. I know that I have to tell him about Asher because he might not be interested in me if he knows I'm a single mother.
Not to sound conceited, but some men actually asked me for some dates but they back out if they hear about me being a single mom.
"I actually have a son"
"You're married?!", He asked with a shocked expression etching his face. His jaws dropped and his eyes went big.
"NO", I affirmed. "I'm a single mom"
He relaxed and straightened his suit. "Whew, I thought I actually don't have a chance"
I looked at him like he was trowing a second head. "Your not weirded out that I have a son?", This guy is full of surprises.
He shook his head. "I actually love kids and I'm pretty sure you had him when you were in love with some one, because you are not like a girl who does one night stands"
I am actually impressed and happy that he got what happened to me and he didn't judge me directly.
"So dinner this Friday?", He asked bashfully.
I nodded and smiled "sure"
Then a man suddenly went in the conference room.
"I'm sorry but I left something"
I looked at the man and it was Ryan. After all those hide and seek attempts, he actually found me.
"Farrah?", He said with a shocked expression on his face. "I've been looking almost everywhere for you"
Adrian had a confused look on his face. "You know him?", He asked me.
"Yes, we met in America", I answered honestly.
Mr. Montgomery faced Ryan. "What were you finding, Ryan"
Ryan searched the room and spotted the familiar pen on the table. "My pen"
It was the fountain pen that I gave him on our first anniversary. The pen is distinct because it was custom made.
He still carried it with him. My heart somehow softened, but I remained my calm demeanor.
"How do you know Farrah?", Ryan asked. I don't know if its just me hut there was a hint of possessiveness on his tone.
"She is my employee and she is also my date this Friday", Mr. Montgomery said , returning the confidence.
Ryan looked at me with a glare. "Date?"
Uhm.
