Live Love Obey

Chapter 3

"Nice too see your on time Ava.", my boss said.

"Me too."

"Um Ava, Mr. Taylor asked me to give you this.", my boss handed me a business card. It had his name, email and phone number.

Why would I need this?

"Thank you.", I smiled and took the card.

"Abby you'll never gu-".

"Mr. Taylor?", I said.

"Where's Abby?", I asked.

"Abby isn't in today she called out sick."

I cleared my throat. "May I help you with something sir?"

"Did Mrs. Malone give you the card?", he asked. He was staring at me again. I don't think it's my skirt this time. I had on a nice grey pencil skirt and a Manila blouse, my cleavage showed a little but not a lot.

"Yes she gave me the card."

Where is he getting with this ?

"The only person who really calls me sir, is my assistant Natalie. Everyone else would usually just calls me Mr. Taylor.", he said crossing his legs in Abby's work chair.

What?

"Well, um would you prefer that I call you Mr. Taylor?", I asked biting my lip.

"No I like sir better, I like the way you say it.", he smirked.

Is he flirting with me? Holy shit I think he's flirting with me.

"Well um...sir, don't you work across town?", I asked.

"Yes I do.", he said.

This is getting awkward. I don't know what to say.

"Well I should get going. Please give me a call.", he said and left the office.

There was something strange about Brendan.

"Hey Abby, I'm just calling to check on you."

"Hey Ava, *cough* *cough*, Larkin have me his damn cold.", she whined.

Larkin was one of the workers here at the magazine. "Damn that sucks, do you need me to bring you some soup?", I asked into the phone.

"Yes that would be amazing."

I grabbed my jacket and purse and I headed out of the office. "I'm on my way now okay."

"Alright bye bye."
I hung up the phone. "Please come in", Abby sniffled. Her hair was tied up into a messy bun and she had on slippers, pajama pants and a t shirt.
The poor girl, her nose was all red.

I handed Abby some soup and dumplings from the Asian bistro. "Oh my god this is exactly what I needed.", she said while eating on one of the dumplings.

"That's great, but um Abby, Mrs. Malone gave me one of Brendan's business cards on my way over to my office this morning." I took a seat on on the couches away from her.

"You lucky bitch, do you know how hard it is to get one his business cards, and he just gives one to you.", she said.

"What do you mean?"

"Brendan is mostly about business and doesn't has time for people's bull. Usually people would use him to make their company look good or use him
to help their company become richer.", she explained.

"Ohh, but when I walked into my office he was at your desk. I didn't really understand that because why wouldn't he just give me his business card instead of having my boss give it to me."

"That's weird."

"Exactly and then he said he wants me to call, I think I'll just email him instead."

"Why don't you just text him instead and see what he wants.", she sniffled.

"Yeah I got his business phone number not his cellphone number Abby.", I laughed.

"Oh."

"Yeah but I hope you get better sweetheart, I'll stop by again tomorrow and check on you, maybe even bring you more soup and dumplings.", I smiled making my way over to the door.

"Thanks Ava your the best."

I headed home and opened up my laptop. I tuned the tv on and the movie snow globe came on. "Okay your email is TaylorCEO@lunaca.com." I typed in his email and put his name as Brendan Taylor.

My phone started to buzz on the side of me. Whose number was this ? I picked up.

"Hello?".

"Ms. Davidson".

"Mr. Taylor?."

"Yes it's me."

"How did you get my number?", I asked.

"You're boss."

"That's kind of creepy.", I laughed.

"I guess, but Ava, the answer to your question. I gave you my card because I have interest in you.", he said. I could feel his smirk through the phone.

"I'm sorry sir but exactly why?".

"You'll see." He hung up.

"That wasn't creepy at all.", I muttered.
