CHAPTER ONE
LUCIAN' P
I felt tired and worn out as I sat on my office chair listening to Jasmine talk all about how spectacular our pending engagement party must be when I finally proposed to her; proposed? She was dreaming.
I was not going to engage her anytime soon or even in the future, for her to even think so was beyond me and how she got that idea in her head was also bigger than me too.
My phone rang by my desk and I glanced at it to see Jonas flashing on the top of it.
"Is the car ready jonas?"I raised my phone to my ear after picking it up and the gruff voice of myy driver filled my ears.
"Yes boss it is" He replied curtly and respectfully, although he was my elder, he worked for me and I deserved the respect he gave, I demanded it.
"Alright I'll be down in a minute" I disconnected the call and stood up as Jasmine also did the same, I wondered why but got my answer when she squealed as we left the office behind, oh she will be surprised when we finally get to the car and not the pleasant kind of surprise.
I said nothing as we left my office and began for the elevator which took me downstairs and straight to the ground floor.
As I left the elevator and began for the front doors, I bumped into someone that smelled so divine and heard a feminine ooff and a thud too indicate the person fell to the ground.
"You bitch, you have some nerves to bump into a CEO like that" A sharp sound echoed and I glanced down with surprise to find that jasmine had just slapped an innocent looking cute girl.
"My Crossiant" Surprising was the word that described how I felt as I watched her stare longingly at... I turned my head and indeed found a croissiant on the floor behind me, but it was already destroyed.
She didn't even react to the fact that she was just slapped, she was just sad her crossiant had been destroyed.
"What the fuck jasmine?" I quirried and she had the nerve to look offended.
"Hey what's your name?" I ask as I slowly bent to her fallen posture and she glanced up at me.
"Serena but mom calls me sena, dad too" Her face took on a crestfallen and sad look and I felt pained she had lost her parents.
"You look young"I begin.
"Twenty one tomorrow, not young I was told" She scrunched up her nose and I chuckled at her as I gave her my hand and she gave the crossiant one last look before taking my hand and letting me help her up.
"Not young" She gave me a dazzling smile that her eyes lit up with and I smiled at her.
"How about this? I'll take you to geet many more crossiannts like the one you lost" She stared at me as happiness lit her face up then it disappeared as she began to think.
"Of course not, I do not agree to this" Jasmine screamed like a banshee and I gave her a glare that shut her up quickly..
"But mummy alwas said if you're given something then yyou have to give back, she called it...... um... remember sena..." She gave her curly hair a shake as she tried to remember and I found it cute.
"Trade by batter" I supplied for her and she lit up as she gave me a nod and I couldn't help but think how innocent she seemed.
"Yes that" She said and I smiled.
"Okay how about this? I'm on my wayy to a resturant to meet a possible client, why not come with, keep me company and I'll buy you any type of crossiant you want" I wasn't sure why I was trying to extend our chat but I wanted to.
"I'm willing, have to stay away from bad slappy woman" She stuck out her tongue at jasmine whose nose flared with anger and I laughed at her chiildishness.
"Don't follow me jasmine, come sena" I held her hands and walked off with her traiking behind and doing a sort of counting on her fingers as we walked up to my car.
"Jonnyyy" She was excited to meet my driver who gave her a small fond smile.
"I see you made a new friend little one" I was surprised they knew each other and from my look, jonas might have understood cause he aswered my uunspoken question.
"She fell and I helped her up while she chasing after her nose, A crossiant she was searching for in the company's canteen" He explained and I smiled when I saw her face redden.
"She'll accompany me to the resturant" I curtly informed him and he nodded befoe opening the car door and we got in.
"Yours?" She asked with awe in her voice as she glanced around my seek BMW and I nodded with a smile.
"You like?' I ask and she nodded fast and laughter left my lips at her enthusiastic response.
"So you're like the movies type of rich? Saw them in the movies shown on those big street TV" I smiled at her questions as she looked around, pinched the seat and smelt my suit; she was so adorable.
"I am, but those are commercials" I corrected her and she gave me a curious glance.
"Commercials? Aren't those banks? But I saw them in the streets, the banks should be in those estates" She said with a scrunched up face.
"They... don't worry your pretty little head about those ." I cut myself off nd after a short stare, She glanced at the window with a huge smile.
" We are here boss" Jonas said from the driver's seat and I glanced up at him before taking a look outside.
"I can smell crossiants" She stuck her face into the glass and I smiled as I pulled her back by her cute XO KITTY sweater and she pouted at me and my eyes went to her pouty lips, suddenly wanting to kiss those pouty lips.
" Sir?" Came from the front and I snapped out of my thoughts, how exactly did the thought get into my head?
"Come little one" I pushed open my side of the car and walked out, watching her do the same with excitement in her eyes as she stared at the five star resturant.
"Is there like the burger with the sweet creamy stuffs in between? And...And the cakes with the running strawberry?Or the chocolate ice creams that has the...."
"They do... and more" I laughed at her enthusiasm, I had never seen anyone be this happy about the idea of food.
"More...I haven't eaten that much before" Her mood soured for a short second befor it cleared up and she sniffed long and hard.
"I hate broccolis" She scrunched up her nose and I laughed once again as we walked into the building and was shown to my reservation.
"You can smell that from here?" I asked with surprise as we both took our seats on the soft couch and she began to bounce on it.
For a twenty two year old girl to be and look this innocent was beyond me, so much that I began to suspect it was all an act.
Then a lady waiter walked up to us and dropped two glasses of water and jtwo menu' before she threw me a flirty smile while bending low to show me her cleavages.
Before I could say anything, sena stuck her face in between my face and the girl's cleavages and huffed before she went baclk to her seat and the girl jumped back with surprise.
'What are you even doing? Mine is much bigger that that" She threw out and glanced into her sweater before staring at the menu and water with distaste.
That was not a visual I wanted, I felt my dick grow hard as I thought of all I wanted to do to her; What the hell lucian? What was I thinking.
"So hungry" She mumbled as her tummy gavee a low growl and I flushed for the first time in myy entire life as I turned to the waiter.
"Go back and send someone else" I ordered and her eyyes widened when she uunderstood what I meant.
"Please sir forgiv--"
"Don't make me use brute force, you will not like me" I said lowly as sena glanced at the kitchen part longingly and sniffed every now and then.
"Okay sir" She turned around and ran off crying.
"What happened to her?" Sena asked with confusion and I smiled at her.
"What would you like to eat?" I ask after my first words.
"I can choose?" She asked, her eyes growing big.
"Of course you can choose" I reply her and she rocked on butt as she picked up menu and went through it quickly.
"What would you like to order ?" A male voice asked and I glanced up to see a cute boy.
"Jeremy!! You work here?" Came from a surprised sena and I glanced at the both of them.
"Sena? What are you doing here?" The waiter boy was shocked too.
"You know each other?" I ask.
"Jeremy is my little brother, He's the best, some days" She said with a smile and I nodded as the little ball of inside of me sipped away.
"What are you doing here?" He asked again.
"This handsome brother promised me many food, crossiants and cakes too" She gave her own version of explanations and her brother deflated at that.
"Alright foodie, what would you like to order?" He gave her a fond smile as he picked up his jotter from his pocket.
"The blueberry and strawberry crossiant, the vanilla ice cream, the chicken feet without tthe bones, the nicely designed cake, two round burgers, a cold cup of milk and a cold cup of....of.." She trailed off as she bit her lips in thought and I smiled at her.
"The cold cup of Cocoa chocolate drink"I said and she bobbed her head in agreement to what I said and her brother chuckled, not at all as surprised by her order as I was.
"And you?" He turned to me.
"A bottle of your most best expensive wine, with a crossiant made with butter and milk" I said an he nodded before he turned around and left and I turned to Sena who was bouncing around on the couch beside me.
