Chapter Five
It's the weekend _^_Time to party.
Entering into the Makolo mansion to celebrate their 50th years anniversary and retirement from Glams enterprises. Emily's jaw dropped as soon as she entered the mansion. Her eyes roamed the gigantic mansion. The decorators have done a wonderful job by decorating the house with lovely designs. It was absolutely stunning.
She walked down the stairs elegantly. Rosie had left her as she was here first for work before relaxation. She has to order her workers to set up the cake that she baked specially for Mr and Mrs Makolo to look just like a castle in the most stylish palatable manner. Emily was stuck all by herself. She looked around and couldn't see any familiar faces. She decided to concentrate on her phone reading a romance novel.
The laughter, chatting and merriment from inside distracted her as much as she wanted to concentrate. Rosie walked up to her " where have you been, come inside Emily' she said and she followed her to the hall.
" This is a toast to a love so strong that nothing can separate its bond, a love so pure and a love so true that it stands the taste of time, a toast to the most lovely couple I have known, Mr and Mrs Makolo". Mr. Makolo announced to everyone as they all clapped in unison.
He continued as he announced the latest development. " My company Glams enterprises has also been handed down to my son who has brought nothing but joy to us, Liam Makolo came forward, congratulations as the new C.E.O and no longer acting on my behalf".
Emily's eyes widened in shock as Liam smiled and hugged his dad. " I promise to do my best to make you proud dad". He said.
He sighted Emily, and was shocked to find her here. He didn't inform anyone from the office about the party. He hadn't made any plans for his office to attend this event.
" Wow, you didn't tell me Mr. and Mrs. Makolo were your boss' parents, this is getting exciting".
" Because I had no idea, I was stunned to see him here, he was the last person I expected, I certainly know he is not the party type so I guess not so surprised to see that he is the future heir of Mr. and Mrs. Makolo"
Liam stepped down from the podium and walked straight towards Emily and Rosie direction" Good day Sir, Emily stammered.
"I see you are here. How are you enjoying the party? "he asked.
Why is he being nice all of a sudden? Does he want to get mad at her for attending the party when she was certain she did not know he was going to be there? She smiled.
" The part is great, the music is good, thank you for having me. My friend Roise invited me".
" You are welcome, it's lovely having you around" He said staring directly into her eyes as he patted her back and left. He went ahead to exchange pleasantries with other guests.
" What was that for? Rosie asked curiously.
" I don't know, he obviously sees me now as visible, not as invisible as I used to be at work or the little clumsy girl he met at the elevator".
"It is okay, no more chit-chat about your young, handsome hot boss".
"Come let's have a drink and get a little tipsy for once"
" A few shots wouldn't be bad to clear my head off though I need to clear my head off the fact that my cold boss is right here with me watching".
Oblivious of where she was going, Emily looked up to see the face of the person she had accidently bumped into.
"I am so sorry, I wasn't looking".
" Are you always this careless or you can't seem to resist touching me". He snarled.
"I had a little too much to drink, and it's taking a toll on me, where is my friend?" she asked a rhetorical question.
Dragging her by the arms to sit on the couch. She was getting uncomfortable. "You should be careful or else someone might take advantage of you in this state"
Laughing hysterically " And when did my boss start caring about me, you don't even see me". She said not filtering her words as she spoke them.
He dropped his phone on the sofa and inched closer to her. "what are you talking about, I am your boss and you should listen to me, don't drink beer more than you can handle and mess yourself up like a child".
" In as much as it's not my business you are still my employer and it matters" His chest close to her now and the proximity between them made her legs twitch.
She pushed him away from her." I am a little clumsy girl right? The one that you won't ever want to bother you, isn't it". She said as they both stared into each other's eyes. Rosie came in seeing her friend totally drunk.
" OMG, I am so sorry sir, Thank you for taking care of my friend while I was away".
" Next time tell her to be more mature and drink less".
" I will, thanks for tonight we will be heading home since I am done with the whole activities of today".
He left without a single word, as Rosie struggled to carry Emily who was still muttering some words and reluctant to follow her.
"I am not done, I want to give him a piece of my mind, He thinks I am a clumsy, little girl, well, I am not and I will show it to him". She yelled.
