Chapter 3
"What kind of flower do you think I would be?", the woman who was busy cutting out the edges of a plant finally asked her lover. "mmmh, Miray,.. I am not telling you yet" Tony smiled as he took a sip of his coffee cup.
"So it seems you already have it figured out, come on tell me... I always thought of myself as a lotus....,"
"Gardenia.. ". her words were cut off..
Miray let down her scissors and turned around to give Tony full attention, " don't they use those for weddings these days?".. 'was he hinting marriage?' her nervousness flashed through her eyes.
"Hahaha, yes they do?" he let out a laugh as he saw how nervous she was.
"W...why would you think of... me as Gardenia?.. ", her heart almost came out from her mouth.
"Hahaha look at how nervous you look,.. it's because of what it symbolizes...," he stroked her hair slowly and touched her cheek, not letting his eyes off her, "... purity, love, faithfulness and natural beauty... everything that you are truly are". His lips went on her's and gave her a soft warm kiss.
Cough! Cough! " hmmm, err... sorry ma'am, but we have reached your destination, " the taxi driver seemed to have brought back the woman in the back seat from her memories. "Oh.. sorry, I got lost in my thoughts.. " Miray, shook her head trying to come back to the moment.
"Don't get too lost, you might not come back.." the taxi driver's words were filled with warmth
'Alright enough!, it's time to get to work..' Miray took a deep sigh to get back to her usual self. On her way to the office, her phone finally vibrated giving her a notification. It was a message from Zain showing her the latest news update of the day. 'MIT company might catch a fire, as Sweng corporation branch will open soon!' read the headlines of the news. Miray felt like crus.h.i.+ng her phone but that would draw unnecessary attention. 'who would bring up such a stupid headline!... ' Miray was having hard time hiding her emotions, she switched off her phone and decided not to look at it again.
The temperature of the office dropped to negative ten degrees as soon as she got in. The coldness she was emitting made everyone wonder what had happened that morning. One could tell something was wrong by the way she was walking. Miray did not greet them and no one dared to say anything to her. Before she entered her office, she let out a hoa.r.s.e voice, "... meeting in 5 minutes... I expect everyone to be there." and gave closed her door with a bang.
"Meeting? Today? " Nene looked really surprised as she looked at Peter searching for answers. " I also don't know why we are having a meeting... I hope she is not firing anyone today.. " Peter exclaimed. They were all surprised. But with a boss like Miray, anything was possible. Miray was a very unpredictable person, which made her hard to read. They always tried to pick up her, but no one could tell what her next move was and that was what made her a successful business woman. Her rivals were always shocked when she made a move.
'maybe she wants to fire someone', they started to think to themselves, giving each other a side look, trying to figure out who it would be... Someone came rus.h.i.+ng in and told them to check the news. It was the article that Miray viewed earlier. 'aaah no wonder she came in that.' They finally relaxed as they had figured out why the boss was in such a bad mood.
The MIT company had a chain of branched with gyms, spa's and health therapy centers. They helped people who wanted to get in shape or wanted a specific diet for health reasons. The spa's provided ma.s.sages and beauty tips to women, it was very popular among the rich women in the country. They also had a managing agency which signed models and athletes. While the Sweng corporation had one of the biggest entertainment managing branch, they signed musicians and actors. Not only did they also sign models but they also had their own clothing line which concentrated more in sports wear. They recently started opening gyms and spa's as a way of growing their business. They were known to be one of the best and MIT company's main goal.
'What will the witch do now?....This is getting exciting...' Peter thought to himself while looking at the news. Please go to to read the latest chapters for free
