Chapter 18 Chapter title: An order Embarrassment and dismay swelled within Genevieve as she hastily shoved her belongings into the Chanel bag resting on the ground, she watched at the corner of her eyes, how Daniel pushed the lady off his lap making her let out a soft wail. Genevieve shook her head, trying to erode the thoughts attacking her mind. She felt like a one naira slut, letting Daniel get to her. she heard footsteps jolting her back to reality. Daniel squatted down helping her get her things into the bag. "I'm sorry for-" she whispered, picking up her bag. Daniel took in a deep calming breath as he slipped his hand through Genevieve's then she heard him whisper "Genevieve" She immediately plastered an indifferent expression on her face, she released her fingers from his, gathering her split courage and exited his office quickly. * * Few minutes ago.. Daniel was viewing the papers Genevieve just sent in earlier when he heard sounds, more like heels torturing the ground. He looked down confusedly only to come across heels, glittery as gold, he shifted his eyes meeting a vintage gown with a wide split, he watched how elegant hands held unto her straw clutch like her life depended on it. Then her face came into view, her fair skin covered in makeup which screamed 'perfection' she was grinning broadly as she watched his eyes roam her. He furrowed his brow as she continued to flash her straight white teeth. "Daniel!" Melissa James smiled, sauntering expertly towards his desk, she raised up her chin, giving him a sensual once over "I haven't seen you like forever" Daniel rose and approached her immediately, he held unto her arm tightly displeased at her arrival. She screeched in pain, forcing her freedom. "Melissa, what the hell are you doing in here?" He sneered through gritted teeth. "Leave this minute or I'll make you" "Daniel, you're hurting me!" She pouted, giving him the puppy dog look. Daniel hissed irritatingly as he dropped his hand and brought it to his side. He closed his eyes so tightly, trying his best to flush in the rage gradually forcing it's way out. He opened his eyes only to see Melissa rub her arm furiously, she was always so conscious of getting blisters. "I can't believe you did that. You're so mean!" she hissed in anger, folding her arms against her chest. Daniel remembered how this was always a turn on for him but now he was disgusted by her presence. "Leave Melissa!" "I know you missed me but you're just too conceited to see it. I could remind you of what we shared you know" she purred as she continued to smile ingratiatingly. She placed one hand on his clothed chest, drawing circles around it. Daniel waved off her fingers abruptly and wondered why on earth he fell for her. She smirked in satisfaction as she pushed him gently on his chair "watch me Daniel" She sat on his laps quickly, scared he might push her off. She roamed his chest, and used her other hand to stroke his hair. Daniel raised his hand, wanting to dismiss her advances just as they heard clattering, making them jink apart. Daniel drive her off him, getting up. He neared Genevieve, seeing her scurry for her things. He squatted down helping her, "I'm sorry for-" he heard her say, he took in a deep breath, lacing his fingers with hers and whispered her name softly "Genevieve" He stood in bewilderment as he watched her leave then turned to Melissa who stood painfully, one hand on her butt. "Daniel!! You keep hurting me!" She yelled "so that's the mystery girl huh? Your employee, like seriously?" Then she paused, a smirk pasted on her face "you couldn't wait for me and you tried someone else. Aww, Danny" He felt the urge to dismember her head away from her body. What an annoying little minx! He hissed, walking out of the office. He needed to explain everything to Genevieve. "Don't you dare leave me here. Hey! Come back here!" Melissa yelled at Daniel's retreated figure. Genevieve wiped away a stray tear as she got out of the lift. Tope had long gone already, she sighted Gabriel seated quietly, typing away. She grabbed him by his arm, muttering "please, let's go" "Genevieve, are you alright? You look like you've just seen a ghost" Gabriel said, his voice tinged with concern as he followed after her, proceeding to his car. "It's nothing Gabriel" she rushed, sliding into the passenger's seat and strapping her seat belt on. "You sure?" She nodded, staring at her palms. Gabriel's car roared back to life as he carefully pulled out of the parking lot. Genevieve couldn't help but look back, hoping to see Daniel. Her heart ached as the area was clear of him. Why was she so upset over her boss' affairs? It shouldn't bother her but what was this strange feeling she derived out of seeing them together. Jealousy? Certainly not. * * * Daniel hopped in the shower and programmed it, he closed his eyes, groaning in relief as the hot water cascaded down his body. His mind displayed the emotions that were running through Genevieve's face, what she'd probably think of him now. He searched everywhere for her but was told she left already. He sighed, reaching for the towel and tied it around his waist. He padded out of the bathroom and into his room. He fell on the bed, burying himself with his comforter. Too exhausted to dress himself for the sleep ahead. He needed to fix this, but how? All his life, he never cared about anyone's feeling, but now it was different. He needed her. He wasn't a romantic but it doesn't hurt trying. * * * Genevieve plodded into Daniel's office glumly, not bothering to mutter a good morning, with her expression stoic, she cleared her throat, hoping it would destroy any form of emotion in her voice. "Mr. Bernard called to cancel today's business lunch" she informed sternly, Daniel got up, walking towards her, she didn't move back this time, she was stronger than that now. "What did you say?" Daniel asked, the corner of his lips rose into a smirk. She raised up her chin "the business lunch date has been cancelled. Mr. Bernard called himself" she replied her tone a bit raised. "Did he?" Daniel teased. She pursed her lips, trying her best to hide any hint of emotions "I think this'd be all for now sir" she turned around but was stopped by his hand. "Not so fast Genevieve, where do you think you're going. Huh?" he held unto her wrist tightly, pulling her to his chest. Her eyes widened at the act, she opened her mouth to say something but stopped herself, she chewed on her tongue, trying to denial any sound. "Excuse me sir, I think I should be somewhere else right now" "And where is that?" "Definitely not here" she snapped, narrowing her eyes at him. His eyes glittered as if remembering something "you do look cute when you're jealous" "Jealous?" She gaped at him in disbelief. "What you saw yesterday was nothing. Melissa and I are done. Okay?" "You don't owe me any explanation sir, why would I even be jealous?" Daniel frowned at her reply but soon recovered "you're right Genevieve. Glad that's cleared up. We're going on a lunch break and It's an order" he added when she opened her mouth to decline. * * "So?" Daniel urged as he stared at the menu book then he turned his gaze to her "what are you settling for?" "Um, why don't you order yourself" she answered nonchalantly. "I insist Genevieve, come on, don't be shy" he smiled mockingly. "A glass of water will do" she answered not tearing her eyes from the table. "Just water?" "Um. Yeah" Just then her stomach groaned making a blush creep it's way unto her cheeks. "I think your stomach disagrees" he chuckled then turned to the waiter "spaghetti with meatballs and spicy tomato sauce seems fine, make that two" the waiter nodded, walking away. "So, you're the first child right?" Daniel asked making Genevieve chuckle at his lame attempt on making a conversation. "Yes, how did you know that. I didn't state it in my bio form" she eyed him suspiciously "my mum didn't tell you our family history, did she?" Genevieve wondered if the brief discussion he had with her mother previously exposed him to their lives. Daniel coughed, he had Tammy investigate her background and it was a huge relief that Tammy informed she had no boyfriends nor suitors just the lame doctor. He had this sudden urge to hit him hard across the face. "Lucky guess" Daniel shrugged then looked at her expectantly. He wanted her to ask him about himself, that was a great start to show a girl was interested in you. Yes, he got that from google. "Hmm. I guess you too?" She inquired, making him smile. First step over, now moving on to the next. 'Fill her in on your background' "Yeah, I have two younger siblings. Martins and Vanessa. Martins manages a restaurant as he's on holidays. He schools in the US and Vanessa, she just graduated from the university, currently planning on opening her own fashion house here in Nigeria. She's 23, just like you" he grinned. Now it was Genevieve's turn to cough. Her false age, if the boss got to find out she wasn't 23 but 20 she'd be toast. She put on a fake smile, quickly opening her story app to make this conversation less awkward. "You're a writer?" she jerked up at his voice. She expected him to be on his phone but no, he was hell bent on making a conversation. Genevieve dropped her phone quickly "yeah, but nothing serious. Just random thoughts" "What part are you specialized in?" "Erm. I write stories and sometimes poems" "Can I see any of your works?" He inquired, eyes on her phone. "NO. Hmm, maybe when I'm done editing" "Is that a promise?" "I think?" Genevieve said slowly, she couldn't believe he could actually ask that. just then the waiter came in bringing their food, she stared at it nervously, her stomach beaming at the sight. Maybe she should say a polite thank you first. Her nostrils couldn't handle the scent anymore as she picked up her fork, discarding the thought. She took in a mouth full and brought it to her lips. She could feel Daniel's eyes on her but this was food. How could she not take it in when it was peering seductively at her to try out. She continued eating, not bothering to glance at Daniel. Daniel smiled, watching her eat. All the girls he had hung out with were always super conscious when eating, making sure the corners of their mouth were clean or how they looked but she didn't care. And that caused his beating heart racing to the maximum. Genevieve's heart stuttered as Daniel leaned over the table, his thumb brushing off something at the side of her mouth. "Sauce" he murmured, his gaze never leaving hers. He slowing brought his thumb to his lips, licking off the stray red substance and smiled "delicious" Genevieve's face boiled up as she opened up her mouth. Her face felt so warm, and the place he touched felt as if it was on fire. She returned her gaze back to her food, nervously eating and watching him beneath her eyelashes. Few minutes later, her phone chimed. She picked it up quickly. Daniel leaned into his seat, listening to her conversation. "Hey Mich" she beamed. "Ohh, I totally forgot. Yeah. Okay. Now? I guess. Okay okay. Bye" she finished frowning. "I have to go sir, I need to get something for my little brother. It's his birthday today. I'll meet you at the office immediately lunch is over" she rushed getting up. "I'll come with you Genevieve" "Oh, no sir. I don't want to bother you" "Did you ask me to? I offered myself right?" Daniel asked, getting up and dropping some naira notes on the table. "Sir thanks but-" "Do you want me to shut you up like last time?" She immediately blushed, remembering their first kiss. "No no, i-" "Let's go. It's an order Genevieve" he held her hand, dragging her out. "But sir, you haven't even touched your food" Genevieve looked back at their table "I had a heavy breakfast, not to worry" he lied then faced her "there is a supermarket over there. Let's go" They got to the bakery section. Genevieve gnawed on her nails staring at the expensive pastries. It ranges from ten thousand upwards. This is a bad idea, maybe she should just go to the local bakery near her house to get one. She concluded. "So which of the cakes do you think he'd prefer?" Daniel inquired, pointing at the glass. She shook her head "They are all too expensive sir, I don't think I can be able to buy any" "Why do you talk so much? Just tell me the cake he'd like and you're telling me this" "I'm sorry, it's just-" "Genevieve!" "This one. With the cartoon characters sir, he's five" she stated shyly. "We'll take this. Please wrap it up" Daniel instructed the lady, she nodded, getting to work. Genevieve eyes widened at Daniel. He was offering to pay. This is just too much. "Sir, I promise to pay you back" "Did I ask for it?" she shook her head quickly "then forgot about it okay?" "Thank you so much sir, Joel will be so excited to see his cake" she giggled. "Why don't we make him overly delighted by getting him toys" he dragged her hand, taking her to the kiddies rack. "Sir what about the cake?" "Ohh. Please, just keep it um...here. We'll be right back" Daniel informed the seller. "Teenage mutant ninja turtles, really?" Genevieve laughed staring at the action figures. It was one of Joel's favourite cartoons if not his best. She picked it up and glanced at the price tag. 10,000!! She dropped it immediately. This people must be sick, 10k for only a toy. Daniel discreetly picked up the toy she brushed aside and hid it behind his back. He did the same with several toys she kept aside due to the costly price and hurried to pay for them and get them all wrapped up, leaving the bags with a cashier. She wasn't aware of it. She finally managed to pick a toy car that her pockets could handle. "Finally!" she sighed in relief. Daniel chuckled, taking her to another section. She laughed, holding a shopping cart and with Daniel acting like a five year old. He was practically dropping all the snacks and drinks in it. She would frown occasionally, telling him she couldn't afford to pay but when she wasn't looking, he would shove more items. Daniel paid for all the them including hers. It took a lot of time getting the items in his car but they finally did. "You got the toys sir" she awed in disbelief "It's my duty to make a kid happy especially on his birthday" Daniel winked at her then leaned on his car. "I don't know what to say, you've helped me so much today sir. Thank you" she smiled. Without thinking, she took a step forward and hugged him, hiding her face in his neck. Daniel immediately wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her to him, her smile faltered as she slowing pulled away. Flushing out of embarrassment. "sorry about that" she said slowly, awkwardly looking at the ground as she fiddled with her fingers. "Hey, it's fine" he raised her chin to look at him. "Why don't you take the rest of the day off" "Really?" He nodded. Then she looked at the items, frowning. "I'll take you home since you don't have a clue on how you'll get them with you" he chuckled scanning her face. "Sir. You've done enough. I'm fine, totally" she lied. "Quit being stubborn and hop in Genevieve, it's-" "An order" she chuckled before sliding in. I'm so sorry it's coming this late guys!
