Do You Have A Boyfriend?01

Madi's POV:

It's been one week since the conference room incident. I told Sandy about it and she never did anything but to laugh her every time she remembers it.

"I wish I was there to capture that moment."

That's what she always says. I even laughed with her, but thank God the issue has died suddenly.

And here we are back at the Cafeteria, having our lunch with Troy ... next to me again.

"Ahm... Madi?" Troy called my attention while I was munching my gingerbread.

"Hmm?"

"I have a question."

"What is it?" I looked at him. He's wearing a sheepish smile on his face.

"DDo you have a boyfriend?"

Sandy and I broke our trance and I subconsciously swallowed my food quickly.

"No...why?"

"Uhm, ccan I invite for a ddinner sometime?" he asked stuttering and scratching the back of his neck. He's really cute when he blushes.

"Are you asking her for a date?" my eyes snapped in Sandy's direction as she voiced out my question.

Troy scratched again the back of his neck.

"Uhm... I guess?"

"You guess? You mean you don't know if it's a date or not?"

"Uhm"

"Sandy, let him talk." I cut what Troy was saying and glared at Sandy. She just rolled her eyes.

"If that so... I mean, if that's what you call it, then yes. I am inviting her for a date." Troy said looking at me. "I just thought since I'm still single and you don't have a boyfriend, uhm... why don't I invite you for a date. Don't worry, not tonight. But some other night, if you agree."

I was about to say something but Sandy opened her clever mouth again.

"Wow! I am starting to like your braveness, Troy. You really asked a girl on a date in front of her friend. Just wow!" she said nodding while grinning.

"Ohh, thanks," Troy said proudly. "So, can I have the honor of going out with you, Ms Madielyn Davis?"

He acted like a prince asking his princess to dance with him.

"Okay, just tell me in advance where you will take me so I can prepare."

"Yes!" instead of Troy, Sandy exclaimed loudly.

"Your voice!" me and Troy warned her in unison. We didn't notice the same pair of eyes watching our conversation intently until we finished our lunch.

Like my everyday routine after lunch and every 4 pm, I would bring Mr Wilsons his coffee. And it's now his 3rd coffee of the day. I wonder how he can drink too much coffee in a day and take note every day. Wouldn't he become high in caffeine?

Yeah.. not in drugs but from coffee. Wouldn't he become acidic or have an ulcer?

My thoughts stopped when I am standing right in front of his door. I knocked 3 times before he answered 'come in'.

I found him standing in front of the large window behind his desk with both hands on his pants pockets. He's staring at the busy streets down the building.

"Mr Wilsons, your coffee, Sir." I put it on top of his table.

He watched my every move before walking over to his desk and grabbing his cup of coffee. I averted my eyes when he brought it to his lips to take a sip.

When he put it down again, I asked him the same question after giving him his coffee.

"Anything else, Sir?" although I know he would just answer me with his the same answer.. 'Nothing more.'

"Do you have a boyfriend, Ms Davis?" my eyes widened in a bit surprised as I gulped. For all the questions he would possibly ask me in this world... really that question?

"II'm sorry, Sir?" I asked him again, maybe I was just being played by my own ears.

"I said, do you have a boyfriend?"

'So he really asked me that question!'

Actually, I have no idea why he's suddenly asking me a very personal question which is unrelated to my work. But since I don't see any problem with that, I still responded politely.

"No, Sir. I don't have a boyfriend." I answered although my voice laced with confusion.

"Are you dating with someone now?"

"I'm sorry again, Sir?" ..where is this question going?'

He sighed loudly. I can see that he's tensed and annoyed. Well, it's not my fault. I was just shocked, you know.

"Do I really have to repeat myself, every time I ask you, Ms Davis?" now he's annoyed.

"I'm sorry Sir, but I was just shocked by your questions. And I was taken aback because I don't expect you to ask me these questions." I reasoned out in all honesty.

"Is it difficult to answer that? It's just a yes or a no!" he snapped ignoring what I said. "Are you dating someone right now, Ms Davis?" he looked at me intently.

"No, Sir. But I am about to "

"Good." he cut me off but I can't help raising an eyebrow.

'Good?'

"What?" I voiced out confused.

"Because I have a deal to offer you, Ms Davis. My driver will pick you up by 7:00 pm tonight. Be ready by then."

"Sir?"

"You're dismissed, Ms Davis," he said completely ignoring me by dialling on his phone

But of course, being a boss myself, I insist on asking him.

"Excuse me Sir, but may I ask the deal you are talking about?"

His head immediately snapped at me.

"Ms Davis, it's not workrelated, so I won't discuss it with you right here in the office." his cold gaze makes me shivers down my spine.

"Exactly Mr Wilsons! If it's not workrelated, then why do you have to offer me your deal? And why did you have to ask me about having a boyfriend or if I am dating? Does your offer have anything to do with it?"

"Ms Davis, don't push me on telling you right now, because it won't happen! You're dismissed!"

'that's it?'

He completely ignored me by turning around his swivel chair after getting his phone. And now the back of his chair is the one facing me...

'Wow! What a rude attitude! What if I tell you, I won't go and listen to what you say?'

I didn't bother to ask him again and to say goodbye. I just walked out the door and headed to my desk.

"He really doesn't know how to talk in a nice way! Oh, God! I'm going to have wrinkles because of you, Gabriel Wilsons!" I groaned as soon as my butt touches the soft cushion of my chair.
