It was ten am in the morning when Zachary and Maraya sealed the big deal. In a high and excited spirit, Zachary thought they should celebrate. However, Maraya thought otherwise. She feels it was wise to go back immediately. "I think we have to head back home, the company isn't going to run itself. We have other minor clients you have to attend to." She suggested as they walked down the lobby. They had utilized an exclusive suite of the hotel for the meeting and were headed back to their hotel rooms."Come on Maraya. I have the MD and others. They all report to me. Have you forgotten that I'm the boss here, so you'd do as I have said. Let's have some fun today and tomorrow we can go back home." Zachary had his reason for wanting to stay back. If not for anything, he wanted to see Chloe and establish a friendship between them before going back. If anything were to happen between them in the future, then it'll be a long distance relationship. Unless she was ready to relocate to Texas."A

Zachary was somewhat confused with the surprise on the girl's face. "Yeah. Texas." He replied. Maybe Chloe thought that he was from around. She was just learning that Zachary came from Texas. "So you're a businessman on a trip?"Zachary nodded his head. He didn't expect her to react that way. "I've visited Texas a couple of times with my parents. We went to see my grandparents." Chloe suddenly explained which got Zachary a little relieved. It certainly meant that they can still get to see each other once in a while."So Chloe, tell me about yourself." Zachary diverted back to the main issue. He wanted to find out a lot of things about her. Well, not particularly everything, at least he would love to catch some things about her. Maybe the important ones for the meantime."Really?" Chloe was surprised. It was him who wanted them to meet, so it's only wise that he introduces himself first. "Uhmmm… Aren't you missing something?" She asked, after taking a sip from her drink. Zachary star

"Why would he do such a thing? And where are you staying at the moment?" Emily was shocked to hear what he just said as she curiously enquired."I stay with one of my friends who is now on my neck to go out and do something so that I can contribute to running the house."Emily furrowed her brows. From what she knew about Duncan's father, he was short tempered and acted on impulse. She wasn't expecting any better from him. However, Duncan was so reckless with his actions. How could he kidnap Zachary? Now his family was suffering from his actions."What are you thinking Em." Duncan asked when he saw that Emily was lost in her thoughts. "Nothing." She replied, shaking her head. Heaving a sigh, Duncan suddenly decided to change the topic. "You remember the last time we came here together?"Emily rolled her eyes at him but Duncan didn't mind her, he just continued with what he was saying. Emily remembered it very well. "We were so in love that we couldn't get enough of ourselves." Duncan

Lowering her gaze, her eyes scanned the papers dispersed on the floor. Doing her best to avoid gazing at Zachary, Emily gradually tilted herself but could feel Zachary's cold glare on her. It seemed as if it was boring holes into her skin. The stare was intense."I hope not to be seduced again in my office." His words came out cold and devoid of emotions. Emily swallowed hard and gradually rose up. If she had known that something of this sort would occur, she would have worn trousers. Of all days, it was the day she chose to wear a skirt that this happened. As she scanned her outfit, she carefully thought of a way to gather up the littered papers without being labeled a seductress.Gradually, she lowered herself in a squat and began picking the papers up. Her feet ached from the heels she wore but there was nothing she could do. She had to endure the pains and do what her boss had asked her. After gathering up the papers that were initially scattered on the floor, she took the file cl

Confused, the lady asked. "Really?""Yeah." Zachary responded with a blush on his face. He could also imagine the expression on Chloe's face. She must be smiling and blushing."Tell me, what medal did you just win?" She questioned him, anticipation evident in her voice."Youuuu…" Zachary stressed the word. He knew the effect it might have on Chloe. However, he was not there to see her reaction.There was silence at the other end of the line. Chloe was lost for the right words to respond Zachary with. "I'm sorry Zachary, I have to go and attend to a client. Talk to you later." With that, the call came to an abrupt end.Zachary fell into an uncontrollable laughter after the call ended. He was sure Chloe had lied to excuse herself from the awkwardness she felt. Zachary's word had caught her off guard. She wasn't expecting anything like that. Zachary thought that that was a crazy thing to say to a lady he was planning to woo.Placing his phone into his suit pocket. Zachary slid back into
