Chapter Fourteen

The phone call with Trevor yang was weird (to be put mildly) he seemed to be hung up on the fact that's Grace could have called earlier but Grace brushed it aside thinking that Trevor just got really excited and was really expecting a second meeting. So they decided to meet at a pastry shop in town for brunch.

The pastry shop Trevor choose was located in the middle of the bustling city and yet it was empty, it had a suddenly deserted kind of feel to the place and it put her on edge, maybe it was the fact that there was a weird man with tattoos all over his body standing behind the counter, staring at her or that there was no pastry in the pastry shop or that the small shop was too expensively decorated, so she decided to call in two of her personal bodyguards.. Just to be safe.

 'being punctual does have it's downside' Grace mused.

About five minutes later, Trevor rushed in wearing a dark blue dress shirt with about three buttons off and a brown suits pants with his hair looking a bit messy, holding a bunch of blue lilies. he looked so handsome yet boyish

"Hi!" Trevor greeted

"hey"

"I brought you these" he handed over the flowers to her

"thanks, you didn't have to"

"its my pleasure, I didn't know which flower to get; the florist recommended red roses but I saw these blue lilies and thought of you" Trevor gushed eagerly.

Grace chuckled, she didn't really like flowers but seeing a grown man like Trevor gush like that reminded her of a kitten. Cute.

"what's up with the hefty guys" Trevor said sounding genuinely offended. Her guards just stood a distance behind her, unaffected like status.

"what?, this place is kind of creepy, the odd guy over there" Grace signaled to the tattooed man who seemed to be listening in on their conversation anyway so she didn't bother lowering her voice. "the odd décor and not to mention that the place is empty"

"oh....that's Mr K" Trevor waved at the man who eagerly waved back "he used to be a tattoo artist, he had to quit in order to help his mother and grandmother run the shop . they make heavenly desserts".

 'well that explains most things'

"really? you seem to have a sweet tooth" Grace teased.

"yeah, but if you don't like sweets, they also serve other kinds of pastries"

"yes we do mam" Mr k chipped in, earning a glare from Trevor "I'll go get your desserts" 

Mr K rushed through the back door.

"it's okay, I'll have a taste of Mr K's heavenly desserts"

They both spent the next two hours talking and joking while tasting different kind of desserts and pastries before Grace had to back to work.

'Trevor seems promising' Grace thought to herself.

Grace went back to her office feeling satisfied with the outcome of her date with Trevor. their date had gone extremely well, she had so much fun she forgot to return the novels. her crazy idea might just work.

she had already done a background check on Trevor and it was actually impressive.

Career: Directive manager of YT imports and exports

he definitely had potential, he was a bit weird and edgy but promising.

she smiled to herself when she saw Trevor's text.

Trevor: have you arrived at your office yet?

Grace: yeah, I just arrived

Trevor: today was fun, looking forward to our next date

Grace: same, I had fun too

Trevor: okay then, I'll text you later.

Grace had never been in any serious relationship before, heck, all her past relationships were based on all the wrong reasons like the time Tina wouldn't shut up about dating the school's swimming team captain so she did everything in have power to steal him and then rubbed it in Tina's face for the rest of this semester or like when Anna was still with her childhood sweetheart whose name she can't remember. the guy was a no good gold digger but at that time, he made Anna happy so naturally, Grace wanted him and she got him. the point is, she had never being in a serious relationship so hers and Trevor's relationship was hanging on a silver lining.

Speaking of Anna, Grace sighed and shaked her head when she noticed Anna walked into her office, she knew that the pregnant lady was just looking to gossip about her date so

Grace pretended not to notice her and continued to type on the computer.

"I know you've seen me" Anna said in an annoyed huff.

"hello to you too" they rolled their eyes at each other.

"just tell me what I need to know"

"why are you here Anna" grace ignored Anna nosyness 

''I am a pregnant lady with lots of time on her hands"

"what about your job"

"Ethan bought the company and threatened to shut it down if I don't take a fifteen months lea-" Anna paused in realization "hey! don't change the topic"

"what topic" Grace said with a smirk playing on her face.

"come on tell me, was it really good or really horrible, tell me" Anna urged eagerly.

"I don't have time for this, I already behind on this project I've been.."

"Gist!!" Anna screamed demonstrating in a dramatic manner.

"fine" Grace sighed
