14 She truly has changed (Edited)

Kyle Landon

"I want all the files to be in my table by tomorrow morning and call Mr. Johnson to reschedule the meeting," I said sternly as I walked to my office and my secretary nodded.

I sat down in my chair and continue my work. There's a knock on my door and I said a quick "Come in."

Matthew the supervisor came in "Excuse me, sir, I want you to sign this paper from your meeting yesterday." I look at the paper and read it before signing. He takes the file and left the office.

My phone ring and I picked it up without looking at the caller ID "Hello?"

"Kyle," it's my dad "I want you to have lunch with me."

"I can't I'm busy dad," I said while typing on my iMac.

"You have to. I want you to meet my old friend, he's my business partner."

"I'm sorry dad but I can't, I have 2 meetings right now." I reasoned with my dad but he's a stubborn old man. "You have to come to no excuses," he said sternly then hung up.

I looked at my phone and sighed. "Ms. Thompson cancel all my meetings for today and reschedule," I said through the office phone.

This company means a lot to my grandfather and my dad because my grandfather build this company from scratch when he was still in college and after he got married and have my dad, he gave them authority to my dad after he graduated college.

A few years ago this company ever be at the lowest peak because there is a lot of competitors. This company is specialized in technology and at that time people are trying to create and invent a technology that is more sophisticated.

Our company lost competitiveness at that time, as time goes by my dad try to rebuild the company gradually. It takes 2 to 3 years to keep the company in balance.

He even went down to keep an eye on everything. When I graduate college I immediately took over the company. I want to make this company, even more, bigger than before, so I decided to gather a lot of creative people and put them in my company.

I even offered a job to my friends who take interest in technology and can make something unique. And now Techno Trends Corporation is the biggest corporation for technology in America.

I check the time on my Rolex and sighed. It's time to have lunch with my parents. I walked out of my office and headed to the elevator. I entered the elevator when suddenly I got a call from Jack my best friend when we were in college.

"Hey bro, what's up?"

"Hey, let's grab some lunch?"

"Sorry, I can't, I have lunch with my parents."

"What? Why?" He whined like a kid.

I shrugged even though he couldn't see me "Dad wants me to meet his old friend, he is dad business partner too."

"That sucked, but you still go to my opening new club right? it's in 2 days" Jack here is a businessman too he has quite a lot of clubs in LA, NYC, and Miami.

"Of course couldn't miss it for the world." I chuckled and we talked a little more then we bid our goodbyes.

I walked to my Ferrari F12 and got in. Turning on the engine I drive out from the basement to my parent's house. I check the time on my watch and realize I'm late. I speed up and swerve through the car so I could get there in time.

I arrived 5 minutes late. I stepped out of the car and head in. The maid greets me and I nod my head.

I walked hurriedly to the dining room and announced myself through the hallways "Sorry, I'm late." I walked in and kissed my mother's cheek. I sat down beside her.

I'm surprised to see the person who sits across from me, is the girl from last night at the event.

"I suppose you two know each other." my dad said. I scrunched my eyebrow in confusion "What do you mean dad?"

"What you two never met?" My dad sharing a confused looked with her dad "But the two of you went to the same high school."

"We only met last night at the event but I didn't know that we went to the same high school," I explain.

"This is Rosella Jones." I swear I ever heard that name but I still have no idea then she decided to speak "Hello Kyle, I'm Rosella or should I say Choco chips." she gave me her best sweetest smile and my eyes widen.

This is Rosella, the one I bullied in high school?!"

"No, it can't be, the Rosella I know is-" She cut me off "An ugly, face full of pimples, always wear an oversized hoodie and a nerd?" She continues the words I'm about to say.

"It is you!" I exclaimed and she rolled her eyes "Can we carry on with the lunch?" She said and we eat our lunch but I can't. I keep staring at her. Is this her? If it so, she looked so different 360 different. Her pimple is gone, the panda eyes are not there either and her skin is now soft.

She cut her hair too making her looked more mature. She looked beautiful, I must admit. I keep looking at her features and she caught me staring. She looked annoyed by me and mouthed 'what' I shake my head and decide to eat my lunch.

Suddenly she excused herself and I looked at her. She even wore high heels! Leather jacket and a crop top. Damn this girl change.

I take my phone out and pretend to receive a call from someone. I excused myself and when I'm safe, I put the phone back in my pocket.

I asked the maid if she sees a girl and they pointed to the backyard. I said a quick thank you' and walked my way there.

When she's about to walk in she bumped into me again.

"You seem to have a tendency running to me," I said and smirked.

"And you seem to have a tendency to show up out of nowhere." she retorted. She was about to walk back in but I grabbed her arms and she looked at me.

"Are you sure you're the same rose that I know?" I looked at her.

"Well I don't know, what do you think?"

"Well I think, the rose that I know is quite shy, wore glasses and an oversized hoodie, can't talk back, and a nerd."

"Don't forget the pimple and bad skin," she added.

"Well sorry to break it up to you but the rose you're talking about is no longer exists," she said bravely.

"What happened to you?" I raised my eyebrow.

She let out a cold chuckle "what happened to me? I grew up Kyle and I'm not the same person that you like to messed up with." she's about to leave him but I hold her arm prevent her to go.

"Don't say that you're still mad about what happened years ago?" I asked wondering and for a minute she didn't say anything like she's trying to say the right word. "I'm not, so could you let me go?" I looked at her one more time before letting her go and she walked back into the dining room.

I stare at her retreating back and sighed. She truly has changed.
