Cherreads

Chapter 28 - Birthday party

I can't believe it!!!! Exclaimed Anna, you are trying to say that our "MEAN" boss took care of you the whole time.

Yes. Lisa said shyly because the thought of it brings butterflies in her belly.

I think am imagining things, but you have to be careful, he has a fiancée so don't get played. Let me go take my bath.

She watched Anna leave as realization dawned on her. She loves him but he already has someone.

God why? Why can't my heart stop beating at the mere mention of his name?

As she was asking her self this, she heard someone knock.

Grey!, she mumbled as she ran to open the door but to her dismay it wasn't Grey. It was a dispatch rider with a parcel.

Good evening ma'am, please are you Lisa Walker?

Yes, Good evening.

This parcel is for you, please sign.

From who,if I may ask?

I don't know ma'am but please sign.

After signing it, she took the parcel inside, opened it. It was food and drinks, she took the paper attached to it.

Healthy, yet delicious. Eat it before taking your medication.

It was a very short write up but it was able to melt her heart, she couldn't believe that he cared so much to make sure she eats and take her medication before bed.

She was about to go call Anna, when she saw her coming.

What's this aroma am perceiving? She said as she walked towards the food.

Food. Lisa replied

Who brought it?

Him?

Who? Wait? At this point she realized what was going on.

Mr. Grey bought this for you.

Yes.

Is there something am missing. Anna sat on the floor with her.

Nothing, he's just making sure am good.

Ooh, alright. Let me go get an extra spoon, left for you, you are ready to dig in without spoon.

You are really crazy.

After three days, Lisa resumed work. For some reasons she felt nervous to go into the office, she is scared that the might turn to being employer and employee.

She hopes it doesn't.

She went into the office, greeted him and went straight to her desk. It wasn't her fault that he comes much earlier than her, no one is to be blamed.

As she was going through his schedule for the week, she saw the invitation of the Walker's to her father's birthday.

She smiled sadly.

Sir, these are your schedule for the day.

You will be having a conference meeting with all department heads by 10am for end of the month report.

You will be having a launch meeting with Mr. Mara by 1pm.

And you were also invited to Mr. Sam's Dinner party by 5pm. That's all for today.

Erhmm, Mr.Walker sent a birthday invitation to you, his birthday is tomorrow, so are you accepting it or turning it down?

All this while she has been reading his day schedule, his eyes hasn't left the paper his with.

He raised his head up, for his eyes to meet hers. Who is Mr.Walker ?

Walker enterprise.

Do we have any partnership with them?

No sir?

Turn it down

Ok sir. Lisa turned to leave.

Wait!

Sir?

Do you have any relationship with the Walker's?

No sir, coincidentally we bear same surname.

You may leave.

Lisa felt guilty for lying to him, but it wasn't a whole lie, they are not her family.

The day went by peacefully to meet another chaotic day.

Lisa woke up with a ring on her phone.

Who is calling me this early? Said sleepy Lisa.

She took her phone to see it was her father, she knows his reason but she decided to pick up.

Good morning Mr.Walker

You rascal!!

That's what I get for rudely interrupting my beauty sleep, by the way I can't convince him.

You hold up there, you don't even know why am calling and you are talking trash.

Alright say something different from what I said.

Today is my birthday, instead of a good wish you are provoking me.

Go get your good wish from your family.

By the way, I called to let you know I sent an invite to your boss, prove to me that you are his P.A by making him attend my party.

Mr. Man, am his employee not employer, you can tell your favorite daughter to go persuade him, goodbye. Lisa ended the call.

How dare that girl end the call on me, I will tell you that my daughter can do anything.

Mr.Walker went to her daughter's room, he opened the door to see her sleeping.

Ohh am sorry, he said to himself and turned to leave but Mary stopped.

Good morning papa, said Mary as she rubbed her eyes with her hands. Sit here.

Sorry for disturbing your sleep. He said as he sat on the bed.

No problem papa, by the way, Happy birthday papa. She wished him as she proceeded to hug him.

Thank you my love.

Papa, why are you here this early?

Ehmm, I want you to personally send Mr.Grey an invite, your sister refused to do it, I can only trust you to do it. That's my wish.

Papa you don't have to worry, I will do all I can to make sure that he attends your birthday.

********************

Lisa got to the office as usual, and started working on the project he gave her.

Two hours later.

Mary walked into the premises with gift.

Wow this place is more than beautiful, imagine being the first lady, well soon.

After directions, she came to the last floor to meet another receptionist.

Am here to meet Mr.Grey.

Do you have an appointment with him? Anna asked.

Not really but it's important.

Anna called Grey to inform him but he rejected it.

He said you should book an appointment for next time.

Mary was getting distressed. Fine, can I at least see my sister.

Who?

His P.A, Lisa.

I will let her know.

Noo, tell Mr.Grey that am here to see my sister.

It's not necessary, I will just call her.

Anna ignored her and called Lisa.

Someone is here to see you, claiming to be your sister.
