MY NAIVE COOK - CHAPTER 33&34
🏵️ Charles’s pov 🍂
Staring into the space, I was lost in my own thoughts. I haven’t being able to concentrate for some days now, I even took some days off from work but looks like nothing is changing.
It’s even worse now I have enough time for myself. I don’t know how but I am having this heartbroken feeling, I feel hurt, I feel dejected, I feel like I am about to lose someone dear to me.
“Arrghhh” I groaned loudly feeling very frustrated.
I haven’t spoken with Rose for a while now, the last time I called, I let my emotions control my thinking and obviously she felt bad about that.
I wonder if she will ever want to pick up my calls again.
Am I Inlove with Rose?, is this really how it feels to love someone?
I can’t even figure it out myself. I haven’t really been in a commited relationship before.
About the last time I spoke with Rose, I overheard her urging someone into her room, was the person Dave?
Are they really dating?
“Arrghhh”! I groaned again this time, I furiously threw myself on the bed.
“Charles you need to get a hold of yourself” I Muttered lowly.
I need to talk to someone. Martins is out of town, I guess I would have to go and have a chat with Dave nevertheless.
An hour later
Stepping into the company,bu headed straight to receptionist who directed to Dave’s secretary’s office.
It’s been a while I last visited Dave in his office .
Tapping lightly at the white transparent door to the secretary’s office.
“Please come in” she muttered immediately she saw me.
“Good day sir” she greeted, beaming all smiles.
“It’s Dave in”? I asked coldly, ignoring her greetings.
“Yes sir but he’s….”
“Tell him Charles wants to see him” I Muttered sharply, interupted her on the process.
“But sir I need to….”
“I h@?? stubborn ladies” I snapped coldly, cutting her off once more.
Is it that she doesn’t remember my face or something?
“What’s your name sir”? She questioned, staring into her PC .
“Charles” I replied, scoffing afterwards.
“Please place a finger here” she instructed, bringing out a biometric fingerprint scanner.
“Are you kidding me right now”? I snapped, obviously irritated.
“I am sorry sir but you need to….”
The call bell interupted.
“Ok sir, sir there’s a man here named Charles, he is insisting he wants to see you” she muttered into the phone.
What the heck?
That’s literally why I don’t like visiting Dave in his office. Strict rules to meeting him are so annoying.
“Please follow me” she blurted out after she dropped the phone.
“You are a psycho” I snapped, trailing behind her, but then she ignored and walked faster.
“Here is his office” she muttered as we reached the end of the passage and without waiting for any response from me, she turned and left.
“Everybody is just mad” I blurted out and scoffed before opening the door.
Hope I am not transferring aggressions?
Why am I even Angry!
“Hey buddy”! Dave called immediately I stepped into his office.
“Hey” I replied lowly, taking a seat.
“What’s with the reply” he asked, narrowing his brows.
“I was Interrogated by your pycho secretary” I Muttered and scoffed while he chuckled lightly.
“Are you serious, I am sorry about that” he muttered, laughing lightly afterwards.
“Is that why you are this cold huh”? He questioned and stood up from his seat.
“Obviously not” I mumbled.
“Really, what’s going on” he asked and sat at the edge of his table, worried maybe.
“I am just having mood swings lately” I Muttered, throwing a cheeky smile afterwards.
I don’t know why I feel indifferent with him right now.
“Ohh really” he mumbled and picked up his phone.
“How are you fairing with your cook” I blurted out immediately and regretted why I did so.
I don’t have to ask him that!
“We are fine, what’s the big deal”? He replied, scrolling through his phone while I nodded simply.
“Wait, why do you ask”? He muttered, throwing a suspicious stare.
“Are you both dating”? I asked, ignoring his question.
“What are you saying, not yet” he muttered immediately.
He looked so nervous right now. Is something really going on between them?
That means something might happen later right?
“Not yet…”? I repeated as I stared at him with mixed feelings.
“Uhmm…I..”
“Are you Inlove with her”? I questioned again, cutting him off.
“Do I owe you any explanations”? He muttered and I chuckled immediately.
“I am just kidding” I replied while he rolled his eyes in return.
He is right, he doesn’t owe me any explanations. The earlier I control my emotions the better for me.
I am so sure he has a thing for her!
🍃 Rita’s pov 🍃
Walking back into my office, I sat down furiously and scoffed loud. What the hell is wrong with that dude.
Who does he think he is to boss me around in my own office.
He is looking like someone I have met somewhere but then the person wasn’t this cold and bitter.
“So annoying” I muttered, throwing myself on my seat.
Fixing my eyes on my PC, my phone began ringing.
“Who’s calling my during work hours huh”? I mumbled as I reached for my phone.
“This $cvmbag” I blurted out and scoffed before picking up.
“Hey dearie” she muttered from the other end.
“Why would you call during work hours, are you that jobless”? I snapped immediately.
“Hey, don’t insult me, I am a known event planner and I earn way more than you do” she snapped sharply.
“What can I do for you Anita”? I Muttered lowly.
Honestly today haven’t been a good day for me. I am just coming across a whole bunch of people.
“Nothing much, just wanted to get an update concerning our deal, that’s all” she blurted out, chuckling afterwards.
“And you couldn’t wait till I am done with work to get that “? I snapped and and heard her scoff again.
“I was just too curious dear” she whipped, laughing afterwards.
This lady thinks this is funny?
“Anita I need some time to think to prepare myself for this” I reminded and she kept quiet.
“You shouldn’t always call whenever you…”
“Are you kidding me right now, you need some time to seduce man?, are you that dumb”? She snapped, cutting me off.
“Anita my job is at stake here, have you forgotten”? I reminded and she bursted out laughing.
“What’s funny”? I Muttered, annoyed at her outburst.
“If that was the Case you would have been long gone, I literally used to beg on your behalf back then” she muttered, chuckling.
“Have you forgotten you both aren’t together anymore?, who’s gonna intercede for me of things turns sour”? I questioned.
“That’s enough reason for you not to fail, do your best ” she snapped.
“Anita you ….”
“Good luck ” she muttered immediately and hung up, cutting me short on the process.
Resting my back on the chair, I exhaled deeply staring into the space.
“I would I do this”? I mumbled lowly.
Some hours later
“It’s Still raining”? I mumbled lowly, closing my window blinds.
We are working overtime against our new product launch, so our work hours was adjusted to 7:00pm.
“It’s so cold” I mumbled lowly, rubbing my palms against each other to to generate some sort of heat.
My boss have been acting so cold so that pycho left his office. I wonder what transpired between them.
Wait, how about I go and try out our deal, this weather would be a good match for it right?, I thought within, giggling.
It’s better to try than not to try at all and without further deliberations, I headed straight to my boss’s office, beaming all smiles.
I will need to ensure this works out for good!
“Come in” I heard his deep alluring voice as I tapped lightly on his door.
And as expected he has his eyes fixed on his PC.
I need to do something to get his attention.
“Uhmm sir how about I make you a cup of tea, it’s so cold” I suggested, hoping he at least agrees to that.
“Not bad” replied simply.
Can’t he just take his gaze off that dam PC!, I scoffed within, heading to the tea maker machine.
“Here it is sir” I mumbled lowly, placing the cup beside him while making sure my B-__-bs are in full display as I bend slightly over his table.
“Thank you” he muttered and sipped from the cup.
“Don’t you want any other thing”? I blurted out lowly, more like in a whisper.
“Something like “? He mumbled lowly, narrowing his brows.
At least he has his full stare on me now, should I say my fully displayed cleavage rather?
Without hesitation, I walked over to him and immediately sat on the table in his front with my thighs fully exposed from my skirt.
“Something steamy like this” I mumbled seductively, opening a few buttons of my shirt.
Looks like my boss is lost staring at the glory displayed Infront of him because he just kept quiet and stared on.
Was he that moved?, I thought within beaming all smiles while rubbing my thighs slowly.
“This is a good one, I see lots of effort put in here” he mumbled minutes later.
“Sure, anything for you” I whispered into his ears, chuckling afterwards.
“Are you gonna keep staring or….”
“How do you wanna be sacked”? He muttered coldly, cutting me off while I jumped down from the table immediately.
Did I hear him well?
“Sir…sir…”
“Send in your resignation letter first thing tomorrow morning” he interupted once again.
“Sir please, I…”
“I am done with you” he mumbled lowly, scoffing afterwards.
What am I going to do?
I am so finished, quietly I walked back to my office, slumping on the ground.
How can I be openly this stupid?
This is not you Rita, this is definitely not who you are!, I cursed myself while thinking of how miserable I made myself be.
