A NIGHT WITH THE CRAZY CEO

CHAPTER FORTY FIVE

**BRIANNA**

“It’s me, Carlos, the guy that gave you a ride to an estate the other day.” The guy said.

“Which day was that?” I asked, trying to remember when he gave me a ride.

“I don’t really remember the day but you said that it was your boss that sent you on an errand and the sun was scorching that very day.” He explained. I thought back to that day and I remembered. How could I have forgotten so fast?

“Oh! Carlos, I’m sorry for not remembering you. Foolish me.” I said apologetically.

“It’s fine. There must have been a lot on your mind,” He replied, “How have you been doing?”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“I’ve been doing great, thanks for asking. What about you?” I stated then asked.

“I’ve been doing well too. Is Adrian still acting like the asshole that he is? Is he sending you on stupid errands? Has he changed?” He asked all at once.

“Hey, calm down!” I chuckled before replying his questions, “Yes, Mr. Adrian is still being an asshole. No, he is not sending me on Stupids errands. And no he has not changed, I don’t think that man can change to save his life.” He laughed at the last part.

“You’re very right, he’s been like this for as long as I can remember. It’ll be really good if he can change though but I doubt if he can change.” He uttered and I laughed out loud.

“Anyways, I came here to meet with someone and saw you, I thought tgat you looked familiar and decided to come see closely. And now that I’ve seen that you’re the one, I can go now.” He said.

“Oh, alright.” I smiled at him.

“Do you mind if I can have your contact? Who knows if I’m ever going to see you again after this or not?” He questioned. Carlos doesn’t seem to be a bad person and it wouldn’t hurt to give him my contact so I decided to give him. I called out my phone number to him and he pressed it on his phone, he dialled my number and my phone rang out a second later. I

“That’s my number, do well to save it,” He grinned boyishly, “And thank you for giving me your number, I’ll give you a call later. Bye!” He said and waved before turning around and he walked away while I stared at his back until he was out of sight. I took my phone that had rang out and saved his number with his name.

“Who was that?” Cherry who had been watching the exchange between Carlos and I quietly, finally spoke up.

“Oh, he was the guy that gave me a ride to a particular estate the day Mr. Adrian sent me on an errand without me knowing that it was a prank.” I told her and continued eating my food which I had abandoned because I was speaking with Carlos, the food was getting colder by the second.

“Wow, he’s quite handsome.” She grinned as she wiped her mouth with a napkin that was on the table before she chugging down the glass of water in front of her.

“Almost every man you meet are handsome to you, Cherry.” I said boredly.

“Not all of them. This one is handsome, really.” She said.

“Fine, he’s handsome. I’ve admitted it, now let me eat in peace before I lose interest in this food, it growing cold.” I practically begged her and she nodded before acting like she zipped her mouth shut.

“Thank you.” I sighed and began eating my food again. Within a span of some minutes, I was done with the food and I downed a glass of water, an almost inaudible belch escaped my mouth.

“Excuse me.” I said to no one in particular as it was already a part of me to say that whenever I belch.

“You can unzip your mouth now, I’m done.” I said to Cherry who had been watching me quietly the whole time and she made a sign of unzipping her mouth, she exhaled loudly.

“Phew!” She exclaimed, “That was pure torture and nothing else.”

“No, that was not torture. It’s an act of learning to keep one’s mouth shut sometimes.” I replied with a smirk.

“It was torture!” She argued, “It was so damn hard for me but I had to stay quiet to let you eat in peace. I’m never doing that shit again in my life.”

“You should learn to do that more, it helps a lot. In no time, you’ll stop being a parrot.” I told her smirkingly, intentionally calling her a parrot because I knew that she was going to get upset about it.

“I’m not a parrot!” She whisper-yelled, “I’m just trying to make the atmosphere cheerful since you can be an antisocial idiot sometimes. You’ve hurt my feelings.” She said with tears welled up in her eyes. My gosh, I was just joking with her and now she’s close to tears. What’s wrong with me?

“Hey Cherry, don’t cry please, I was just joking with you. You’re not a parrot, you’re the complete opposite of a parrot.” I apologized, moving closer to hug her.

“What’s the opposite of a parrot?” She hiccuped, her eyes still filled with tears.

“Uhm… uhm… I don’t know, I was not taught what the opposite of a parrot is when I was in school.” I cried out and she giggled.

“A parrot doesn’t have an opposite, idiot, or does it?” She wondered.

“That doesn’t matter. I’m sorry for calling you a parrot, I was just kidding, I didn’t mean it.” I apologized again.

“It’s fine, I’m not angry.” She said and blinked her tears away.

“I can’t believe you fell for that. Ah, I got back at you!” She suddenly said and I disengaged from the hug quickly. I looked at her face to see that the teary eyes were now replaced with a mischievous glint, she was even smiling widely.

“Wait… that was a prank?” I asked with round eyes.

“Yes it was. I got an instant revenge.” She giggled and I stared at her as if she had grown a second head.

“You totes with my feelings.” I stood up.

“It was payback.” She replied. Why am I even getting angry when I was the one that started it? It’s a draw already, 50-50.

“Fine, you got your revenge now. Let it end here.” I said to her and she nodded.

“Fine with me.” She agreed.

Since we were done with our meal, I waved the waitress over and I asked her for our bill, she told me and I paid. I picked up my bag, Cherry did the same and we walked out of the restaurant.

When we got outside, we bade each other goodbye.

“Good night Brianna.” She said.

“Good night, bestie. Good luck with your interview.” I waved and we went our separate ways.
