10 Chapter 10 The lunch invitation

Elena's face became as red as a cooked shrimp and her cheeks were extremely hot.She turned her back to Charlotte because she was blushing from embarrassment.Elena you are a really stupid woman do you know that? Elena said to herself.She took deep breaths to calm down and when she was calm she turned back to Charlotte.

Charlotte I am sorry for yelling at you.You see something happened today and I was surprised by it and that's why I was dazed when you came back.

Why? What happened Elena that made you so stunned.

See the thing is....And Elena narrated everything to Charlotte.

Oh My God! Charlotte exclaimed.

Did he really do that? Charlotte asked in astonishment.

Yes he did, Elena replied.

Wow! Charlotte exclaimed. So that's why you looked so dazed when i came in.

Oh I am sorry about that, Elena apologized.

Oh Elena, you are really naïve. Anyway let's change the topic. Have you had dinner? Charlotte asked.

Yes I have, Elena replied.

Alright then. I will go and freshen up okay?

Mmm, Elena hummed.

The next day,

It was a beautiful Saturday morning. The morning sun is shining brightly in the sky.The birds were chirping and the plants were blooming. Everything seemed perfect because it was the perfect day.

Elena had just woken up when she heard her phone indicating that she had just received a message.

Elena picked up her phone and checked the message. It was from Drake.Elena's eyes went wide open.She unlocked her phone and checked the message.

(Drake) Good morning

Good morning Drake, Elena replied.

It is a beautiful morning isn't it?(Drake)

Yeah it is. The day seems so perfect(Elena).

Have you had breakfast?(Drake)

No I just got out of bed(Elena)

Oh so are you going somewhere today?

(Drake)

Huh! Elena exclaimed. Why would he ask me such a question? Elena asked herself.

Why do you ask?(Elena)

I asked because I wanted to ask you out for lunch(Drake)

Oh, Uhmm I have no where to go today(Elena)

But why are you treating me to lunch?(Elena)

You are just my boss and I am your employee so I don't get why you would ask a mere employee like me to lunch(Elena)

Ouch! And here I was thinking we were friends(Drake)

Wait What! Do you really consider me you friend?(Elena)

Of course, I thought we both felt the same way but it turns out only I feel that way(Drake)

No I didn't mean it like that, I do consider you my friend. In fact everyone are my friends. No one is my enemy(Elena)

Drake let out a slight chuckle.O h Elena what a perfect way to spoil the mood,Drake said to himself.

Anyway, will you go out with me for lunch then?(Drake)

Yes I will(Elena)

Alright then, I will pick you up at 2:30pm. Is that okay by you?(Drake)

That's perfect(Elena)
