Chapter 124: Chapter 124

It's Monday morning already, everyone is back to work, including Barbara. Dante keeps picking and dropping the different files in his office, he is getting really frustrated, he keeps spacing out, like his mind is wondering away, Barbara is watching his movement.

Yet again, he is having that dark circles under his eyes, the man must really be stress probably having Insomnia.

Oh! Did he work all night because he did not show up at the office for two days? Barbara thought to herself then sighed, she felt worried that she might be part of the stress.

Barbara had subconsciously stared at him, that she didn't move her eyes from him, Dante raised his head, their eyes meet. He wanted to smile but then bit his lower lips to prevent the smile from escaping his lips then used his hand to indicate that she should over to his office, she stand up in a hurry.

In few seconds, Barbara was there. Are you enjoying my view? Dante asked in an expressionless face, Barbara then fire back at him.

Enjoying the view my foot, with those dark spot under your eyes, you look terrible. Barbara comment, then stand.

Terrible or more attractive? Barbara blushes, in a real sense even though Dante had that dark spot under his eyes, it didn't make him less attractive, the man is handsome, he is every woman's dream.

Barbara, I need coffee can you make one for me.

What happened to your assistant? He frown and look at her, she bow then left, Shirley is watching as Barbara walked out of his office and the young man is blushing hard, it's been awhile Barbara prepared anything for him.

Here, you should have milk, it's better than coffee. Dante stared at her in confusion, he asked for coffee not milk, he is not some kind baby that will drink milk.

Stop staring and drink, you should avoid caffeine for now, you are taking too much of it that is the reason you can't sleep well, you are having insomnia right? Dante move his gaze from her to the milk.

Where do you get that idea from?

It's obvious, that dark circles under your eyes, is enough evidence to show that you having insomnia. Barbara explained further.

Gosh! Babs! You the one giving me insomnia. He speak inwardly

Come on Li Jun. She run her hand on Dante's hair unconsciously, Dante blushed badly. Are you trying to seduce me?

Sorry! She withdrew her hand very fast from him, she stand to make her way to her side of the office.

Aren't you supposed to give me more instructions since you suggested milk instead of coffee.

I am not your doctor.

Then I should as well trash it.

No, don't trash it, you should drink it. She hurry back to him and pull the glass of milk, then place it on his lips, Shirley clenched her finger seeing the act of Barbara, Dante gulped the milk in one go as he watch Barbara cleavage, that is now exposed to him, considering her position.

Babs! Do you want me kiss your boobs.

Shit! She hurry from him then adjust her top, Dante go back to his milk. Such a bully. She blurt out but Dante didn't say a word, she start giving him instructions, she know that, there is no way, Dante will let her off the hook if she did not explain

"You should exercise regularly, you should spend less time in watching TV program, when you go to bed, you should worried less about things, geez, you should leave office stress right here at the office, then take alot of milk, it works for me"

Dante find it sweet, having someone who cares about him, giving him details on how to care for himself like he is a baby, after that, Barbara make her way back to her section.

As soon as Barbara pushed her office door, Shirley make her way to Dante's office, Sally hurry behind her trying to stop her.

****

Shirley, I told you, to asked me anything why are you here?

It's okay Sally, you could go back. She nodded at Dante then make her way back, he beckoned her to sit.

What do you want?

Oh! I was thinking, I could have my party this evening.

Oh! Sure, I will let the organizer know, since it's a small party, the timing is perfect. Dante goes back to his work, the next thing Shirley cover the blind of Barbara. Hey what are you doing? Dante asked.

Her eyes are too sharp, she is staring too much.

It's normal to stare.

That isn't normal, she is trying to cage you.

Come on Shirley, even if it's that, I wouldn't mind, getting cage, I love her, I want to marry her.

What?

Yes, I plan on asking her to marry me, next weekend.

Shirley heart burn in pain, how could he speak those words in front of her, how could he act like he doesn't know that she still love him? For years, she had waited for him to grow to maturity, grown to the man, she will love and cherish, yet coming back, someone else is taking him away, some lowlife illegitimate child is going to have him.

Never had she thought that, those years of watching him become mature, she is going to lose the man she loves, it was difficult for her to leave him back then, it was hard for her to watch him break down and beg her not to leave, yet she had to, thinking it's for the best for them. Back then she would had live with his flaws, sacrifice her supposed life, she wanted to live and stay with this one man that is slipping away from her, this man, that she had keep a close eye on, making sure, that he doesn't get involved with any other woman except her.

Her eyes were fixed on Dante, he is admiring the facial expressions of the man in front of her, he is really handsome, Dante unconsciously raise his head only to see Shirley still there and the blind still closed.

Hey, you are still here? He asked nonchalantly.

I was just thinking, what had changed about you?

Stop been silly nothing change about me, back then, I always told you, I want to marry early but I was only scare that my marriage will end up like that of my parents but now, I don't think my marriage will end up like that of my parents, I love her and there is no way, I am going to cheat on her.

Hm!

Yes, she is the woman I love and want, so nothing is stopping me, I know she loves me too. He blushed then drink the milk and open Barbara's blind, the two gaze meet, is like Barbara is waiting for the blind to open, he wink at her, she facepalm herself.

Shirley frown badly but she have to compose herself, she hated how Dante treat her and now, he is open about he wanting to marry Barbara, no way, she is going to have him back, he is never going to let Barbara get him, not now, not in future, she doesn't care how Barbara will feel at the end, all she knows is that, Barbara should get of Dante's life.
