Tales Of Love

She sat down and closed her eyes, inhaling the fragrance from the flower. This must have been sent by Santiago.

She opened her eyes and held the flower. He knew she was still obsessed with him, that must be the reason why he sent the flowers to her as a means of apologizing or professed his undying love to her.

Wale Jones was Surprised at Aurora’s action. He had thought she would question him on who received the flower, she seemed to be pleased and didn’t bother to check the card on it. Does she even know that the flowers were sent by that spoiled ruffian?

Wale Jones coughed.

She had forgotten that he was following behind from the conference room. She felt a little embarrassed but shrugged it off. “em…m… who sent the flowers?” she asked awkwardly when she couldn’t think of any other way to calm her blushing face.

“I received the flower from the delivery man but as for the one who sent it, Miss can check the card on it” Wale Jones replied. He wants the boss to read the name on the card herself.

“Mm…mm” Aurora grunted and took out the card that was carefully inserted in the middle of the flower. Aurora squinted when she saw the name that was written on it…. From your sweet lover Kushner Nick.

Wale Jones was staring at Aurora from his split vision. Aurora frowned and hissed, pushing the bouquet of flowers from her sight. When did she become his lover let alone a sweet one at that. Was this fellow being stupid or his skull simply have no brain in it?

“Who said you could receive his flower Wale Jones?” Aurora snapped at him angrily. She was ashamed of herself considering how she had felt initially when she first saw the flower. She had even blushed and closed her eyes momentarily lost in her world of fantasy.

“It was sent to you ma’am, and as your assistant, I am to receive it. I do not have the right to reject it on your behalf” Wale Jones exempted himself from the blame, trying his best to refrain himself from laughing out loud.

The boss shouldn’t transfer her aggression on him after all he doesn’t know if they were really lovers.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Next time, don’t you ever receive anything that came from that miscreant” Aurora instructed. She turned her face away and stood up contemplating where to have her lunch.

Wale Jones nodded and took a step before Aurora spoke again “throw this rubbish in the waste bin”.

Wale Jones did as he was instructed before stepping out. Aurora sighed audibly and stayed a few minutes more to calm her nervousness. Had she known it was from Kushner Nick, she wouldn’t have touched it at all. If only it was from Santiago!.

Aurora decided to go to the company’s cafeteria to have lunch. The door Suddenly opened and Kushner Nick arrogantly walked in, the secretaries came in hurriedly after him to explain to the boss that young master Kushner didn’t say a word to them but strode past them into the office.

Aurora was startled and stared at the fellow who just walked into her office without a bit of courtesy nor seeking her consent before coming in.

Her expression became icy cold as she stared at the arrogant Kushner Nick who stood with his hands in his pants pocket and smiled at her. She raised her hand and the secretaries understood and went back to their desk.

“Have you no manners? Who said you could come in here?” Aurora inquired. Her voice was hoarse.

“Do I need anyone’s permission to come see my baby?” Kushner Nick asked a rhetorical question. He took some strides towards Aurora.

“Stop right there!” Aurora ordered. She doesn’t want him to come anywhere close to her. His presence disgusts her.

Kushner Nick stopped midway to Aurora. He narrowed his brow. Why does he have this feeling that this Miss Rowan was beyond his reach? Perhaps she’s proving stubborn for him to subdue.

“For the very first and let it be the last time, don’t you ever refer to me as your baby and don’t ever step your feet into my office. Otherwise, the securities will show you out of the gate. Now get out!” Aurora ordered and stared at him with a ferocious gaze.

Kushner Nick was not angry at Aurora’s words. He chuckled and started pulling the few strands of beard at his lower jaw.

“Come along with me for lunch” he said authoritatively. He doesn’t believe there’s a lady he can’t control and have at the snap of his fingers.
