I quickly waved it off and did not give it a thought.

Most ladies wear look alike of things, I probably saw a passer-by wearing it and it began to ring a bell when it shouldn’t.

As days goes on I still try to avoid getting home so early.

One day after work as everyone else were eager to go home I was still slowly packing up my stuffs.

I saw my boss who just returned from his business tour with his friend who I have seen once or twice.

I greeted them as they were about to walk pass and they chorused their replies.

“Miss Becca, aren’t you going home yet. I noticed you don’t join the staff bus again back home. Hope there’s no problem?

My boss asked concerned. I noticed his friend was looking at me all through.

I felt uncomfortable at his gaze and almost stammered with my reply.

“Not at all sir. Sometimes I have a place to go after work… ta… that is why I have not being join… ing…

I stammered as sudden heat began flooding my face. my boss young and fine friend was causing the discomfort.

My boss nodded while his friend smiled at me and I tried my best to return back the smile before they walked to their different cars.

I later got to know that he was a business associate to my boss and his name is Ohio.

He also has his own big company and staffs too working for him.

He was single and alot of ladies at work were dying to be noticed by him but he hardly give a second look at any.

It was one of my colleagues who was also crushing on him that fed me with the news.

After a week, during break time at work one day, I was having lunch when my boss friend came to get his coffee at the cafeteria.

I saw him coming and quickly looked away.

He noticed me eating, stopped over at my table to say hello.

“Good afternoon sir.

I greeted cheerfully.

“Miss Becca right?, is indeed a good afternoon because I have been wanting to speak to you. First of all, I’m sorry to be so forward but I hate to beat around the bush. Are you free this weekend… we can hang out. I have this boat cruise I will like to go with a friend. I hope you don’t mind joining me….?

I was staring at him as he speaks. He was really straight forward and I like such men. He was also good looking and has a fine accent.

I began to wish that Richard has already proposed to me, I would be flashing my engagement ring to his face so that he will see that I was already taken.

I wondered why he decided to pick interest in me when there were alot of other ladies dying for him.

I love my Richard and no man will come between us not even a fine man like Ohio.

“I’m sorry sir, I’m engaged to my man. I actually forgot my ring at home. My apologies but I’m not available for that.

I lied that I was engaged just to dismiss him.

is not really a lie since I know Richard will still propose to me someday.

“No problem Miss Becca, I totally understand. Congratulations on your engagement..

He said with a smile before walking away.

I decided to stop over at JoJo’s place the following day, since I know that she is sometimes at home in the evening.

She was dressed to go out when I came in.

“Oh Becca, you came at the wrong time. I’m going on a date. My cute man is taking me to go and see a movie. From there I will be passing the night over at his place.

JoJo said as she wore her fine heel shoe.

“Okay, have fun. I actually got gist for you but maybe next time.

She pause and asked me to gist her.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“There is this my boss friend at work, a fine and well to do young man. He actually asked me on a date yesterday but I turned it down. I told him that I have a man in my life… I wish I was already engaged to be married to Richard. In that way I will be flashing my engagement ring to everyone that cares to look. But, I know it will still happen. I just can’t wait… time is running out. JoJo, before you know it months will turn into a year and another birthday follows… 29 and then 30years. I just can’t wait JoJo. I love Richard and wish he would start talking about marriage… but well…

Her phone was ringing and she picks it and said.

“My love, I’m almost done. Becca, my friend came around with a gist but I’m coming out now honey. Muaahh… Love you too sugar…

As the call ended I was surprised that her new boyfriend already knows who I am.

I asked her if her man knows which if her friend bears “Becca” and she quickly reply.

“Yes, offcurse! I tell him everything. About all my friends and their names. Becca, you are my good friend, so my man supposed to know who you are even though he has not met you but has seen your pictures. Maybe next time you will gist me more about your boss friend… he sound like an interesting man. Stop worrying over Richie, I have told you before that you should free your mind and stop choking him with marriage issue. Whenever he feels is the right time he will do whatever that is worth doing. But, I’m actually interested in the gist about your boss friend. Is high time you invite me to your work place, let me pay a visit and also get acquainted with some of your colleagues and probably your boss friend… hahahaha! Anyway, We will talk about it later and someday you will get to know my current sugar boy…. hahahaha! I have to go now Becca…
