Regrets

  The waiter hurries over, "yes sir, you called"

"Help me get her up to the cab"

The waiter bends over and puts Cindy's arm around his shoulder, then he stands up with her. "Can you carry her alone?" Ryan asked worried. "I can sir" the waiter replied. Then he dragged her along and walked out of the restaurant, Ryan follows closely behind. Finally they get to where the cab is, Ryan tries to help and put her into the car, before her head could get in, Cindy opened her mouth and vomited all over Ryan. This Irked Ryan so much that for the first time in his life, he felt like crying.

"Take her home" Ryan said to the driver

"Home is where?" The driver responded, confused

"Just take her to the nearest hospital and tell them she passed out in your car" Ryan takes out a bundle of cash and hands it over to the driver. "I will call her tomorrow to check if she was safe, and if she doesn't pick up, or she picks up and tell me you tried something funny. I already took your car's plate number, I will find you, and I will make your life a living hell.

"Okay sir" The taxi driver stepped on the throttle and the car zoomed off. "I live at number 23 Lux avenue" Cindy sprang up from where she lay. The driver turns around startled, "You've been awake all this while?!!"

  A limousine parks right in front of restaurant, Ryan steps in. Inside the limo was George, Ryan's assistant. "How did the date go sir? Wait. What's that smell?" George puts his hand over nose. "Did you bath yourself in vomit sir?" Ryan sits down on the seat opposite George. "Did your date do this?.."

"Kind of"

"So there will be no second date"

"I don't know yet, she was interesting"

  Cindy opens her eyes to see Ruby sitting on her bed with a big smile on her face, "How did it go?" Ruby asked beaming. "How do I explain this, he is probably, completely disgusted by you". "Yesss!!!" Ruby starts jumping up and down on her bed. "Stop!! You'll break the bed! I don't have money for a new one" Cindy said with concern written all over her face, "I don't care, I'll buy you a new one if I break it" Ruby kneels and hugs Cindy tight. Ruby then takes out a bundle of cash from her pocket, counts it and hands it to Cindy. AS Cindy counts it, her jaws begin to drop slowly till she counted the last note,

"Four thousand dollars?! That's not what we decided on"  Cindy looks shocked to the bones.

"The extra is the bonus for the job well done!" Ruby happily exclaims

  Cindy's phone suddenly started beeping. Cindy picked it up, looked at the phone then screamed, "I am late!!!" She jumps out of the bed.

"You have work?"

"Yess!! And we have this meeting with my company's CEO"

  Cindy raced into the bathroom and started taking her bath. Five minutes later she's out, she dances into her work clothes. "See you later mum!" Cindy said as she walked out the door. Cindy walks into an auditorium packed to the brim with people; she finds an empty seat at the back and sits. "You are late" Amos, Lanky and wearing a very big eye glasses, and one of Cindy's workmate said.

"She is always late" Rebecca, 35, Cindy's team leader said with a frown on her face

"Is the CEO here yet?" Cindy asked while starring at the empty podium, "Or is he gone already?!"

"No, seems like he doesn't keep to time just like you" Amos said in a snarky way.

Suddenly, the doors open, the CEO walks in, and it is Ryan in his all black attire. Cindy's mouth widen on seeing him. She slants on her seat and she lowers her head scared out of her wits. Ryan stands in front of the microphone and starts speaking.

  "Good morning everyone, I thank you all for making out time from your busy schedules to be here. My name is Ryan Michael, and I am the owner of this company. The reason for this meeting today is to announce that I will personally be running this company from today onwards. So I will personally supervise each department and every single team. So expect to see more of me from now on"

"No…" Cindy murmurs to herself in horror

  Minutes later Ryan walked out of the meeting, George followed him. "Your grandma is in your office" George told Ryan as they walked. "Why?" Ryan asked surprised. "I don't know either" George said in reply. They two reach the office, Ryan opens the door and enters. His grandma is seated in the chairman's seat. "Good day Grandma" Ryan greets, "Good day madame" George added. "Good day boys" Ruth replied with a smile. "What brings you here today?" Ryan asked politely.

"Do I need a reason to come back to my old office?" Ruth inquired

"Yes Grandma, you do."

"Who raised to be this arrogant! It sure wasn't me"

Ryan scoffs. "I came to remind you of the date you have today" Ruth added. "I still have another date?" Ryan groans.

"Yes and there are still ninety eight women left?"

"Actually grandma, I have found a girl I like" Ruth's face lit up immediately Ryan said that.

"Who is it? I'll love to meet the girl immediately"

"It is too soon right now, but I will introduce you to her soon."

  "Great, finally! I hope I get to carry my grandchildren before I die"

  Ruth leaves the office smiling heartily. "What girl are you talking about?" George asks Ryan confused. "There is no girl George, I cannot sit down under one roof with ninety nine strangers. There are more terrible ways to waste my time." Ryan replies frustrated.

"If your grandmother finds out, she is going to be very much disappointed" George replied concerned. Ryan walks to his seat and sits to think for a moment, suddenly an idea hit him. "That girl I met yesterday, what was her name?" Ryan said with this glow in his eyes

"How do you expect me to know that?" George said with confusion written all over his face.

"Call her, and schedule a second date!"

  Inside a small restaurant, Cindy and Ruby is seated enjoying a meal while the scorching sun blazed. "Really?! " Ruby screamed so loud everyone in the hotel turned to look at them. "Yes, I just hope he forgot me and what I did to him" Cindy said as she buried her face on the surface of the table.

"The guy is your boss… I feel like this is my fault. I am so sorry"

"If he finds out, I am surely getting fired instantly" Cindy replied, terrified.

"Well, I know he will not find out, he is a busy man, he probably forgot about it the next day." Ruby said with a smile, trying to comfort Cindy.

  Ruby's phone starts ringing, she picks it up on place her ear.

"Who's this?"

"Mhm"

"Mhm"

"Okay, no problem" Ruby drops the phone looking like she just heard from a dead person, "What is it?" Cindy asked. "It was your boss, he wants to go on a second date with you"
