Jerry's P.O.V
The first thing I wanted was to see Anna but she wasn't here, I had a busy schedule already and it was just my first day. I wanted more time so I could search for her but right now I was all tied up and busy.
"Mr Jerry"
"Yes Miss_?"
"I'm Mrs Johnson, the director of the last movie"
"Okay Mrs Johnson, what can I do for you?."
"I wanted you to schedule an appointment with your secretary and your assistant for the meeting with the Dubai investor".
"Oh that is today?"
"Tomorrow was the main date, but they rescheduled because he got an emergency and has to leave first thing tomorrow morning"
"Okay. Please call in my secretary and my assistant, thank you Mrs Johnson"
"My pleasure, Mr Jerry"
While she was leaving my office closing the door behind her, I saw someone standing facing backwards. She looked exactly like Anna, I rushed to the door and held it open, tapping her on her shoulders.
"Anna is that_?"
She turned facing me with her blue eyes digging into mine. Her smile was very beautiful and her short black hair was curly, from her looks you can tell she was the type of girl every guy would want.
"I'm not Anna. I'm Miss Kay, your secretary"
"Oh sorry about that Miss kay, I thought you were someone else"
"It's no problem sir. People tend to mistake me for Beyonce too". She smiled while waving her hair slightly across her eyes. She was aware of her looks and she was proud, a very wrong combination.
"Okay. Urmm we're suppose to have a meeting by 6pm today. Please inform my assistant and make sure everyone is at the Chinese lavish before the Dubai investor gets there"
"Sure thing Sir"
"I'll prefer you call me Mr Jerry thank you"
"Okay Mr Jerry"
I walked back to my office still wondering how she could look like Anna but has no character like she does. Opening the windows in my office, I inhaled the fresh air of Scotland, it reeked of fresh ice and coffee. I looked around the coffee shop and immediately the image of Annabel serving coffee with her beautiful smile caressed my mind. I missed her so much that it hurts, what am I doing sitting here? I asked myself aloud. I needed to find her at all cost and tell her that I was ready to give everything to her no matter what, I wanted to swear to her that I wasn't gonna ever leave her again, I wanted to make intense love to her with everything in me. I grabbed my keys, heading to the coffee shop across, if I wanted to find her this was an opportunity.
It was windy and snowing outside, I'm sure wherever Annabel was she loved the weather. Just like I did. I walked into the coffee shop and went straight to the counter, a red haired guy turned to look at me with a little disgust in his eyes.
"Excuse me sir, the customers sit on the reserved tables" he said pointing the tables and chairs like I was some insane person. This wasn't how Annabelle treated me and it wasn't fair. I quietly went to the reserved table after ordering my coffee, I sat down watching him do his boring mix of the coffee. He acted like he didn't like the job at all and he was reluctant to everything, he walked up to me and dropped my coffee in front of me, I quickly took a sip of it and called him over
"Maybe next time if your coffee was as bad as your attitude, I won't write a report to your manager" I dropped my pay and left with clenched fist, he wasn't my problem right now and he wasn't even worth it. I went back into the company to while away my time with some paper work before I went back home to get ready for the business meeting.It was 5:55 pm already and everyone was seated except the Dubai investor and my assistant. I was getting furious because everyone was expected to be here before the investor and she was late, extremely late and Miss Kay here was getting flirty too. I stood up to call her again but a white rollyce Royce drove right in front of me, the Dubai investor came down with his guards. I dropped my phone into my pocket and quickly greeted him showing him to our table. He wasn't quite what I was expecting, he had Korean features but his english was fluent and he looked so healthy. He was probably in his 70's but he looked so healthy. I was impressed. We all sat down to order our food and talk business.
"Mr Ching Zang right?"
"Yes. Mr Jerry, I've heard a lot about your company and I too is an old friend of your father. I wanted to invest in the company in Florida but since you have a young mind, I believe you'll know what's best for these youths and teenagers"
"Very well Mr Ching, you've made a right choice and I promise you won't regret it either. We can all eat now then review and sign the paperwork later"
"That's all right".
Immediately the waitress served our food, a tall brown haired girl walked in. Her presence made everyone stop and stare as she walked across each tables with her head bent down. She finally got to our table and raised her head up.
"Sorry for the delay, I got stuck in traffic and the snow was heavy tonight" I almost choked hearing that voice. I looked up to see if my mind was playing tricks on me again, I stood up immediately without hesitation. I felt my senses loosen quickly and my cheeks get red, my eyes were getting teary and at this point I knew I had to calm down. It was her, My Annabelle but in brown hair. She looked at me shocked with tears in her eyes, her mouth was agape and I could tell her heart was beating faster than anything in the world.
"Is anything the matter Mr Jerry?" Miss Kay asked tugging at my suit. I shook my head and snapped out of it while Anna took her seat in front of me.
"No, it's all right. We can eat now". I could function anymore, my heart kept hitting hard and I just wanted to grab her so tight. I didn't need to search for her because she was close to me. Closer than she has ever been.
