Wendy was now dressed in the black dress she wore earlier, she came out of the rest room and walked towards her office while she scrolled through her gmail . Her heart skipped a beat when she heard Zion's voice, he was talking to one of the fashion designers, she quickly looked at her phone pretending she didn't see him, she has almost walked past him when she called her name
"Wendy," he said in a husky voice. Zion was six feet tall, his body built to be a model. He was rather cute and he knew how to use his looks and innocent way of speaking to deceive any lady
"Hey, Zion" Wendy said trying to look friendly
"You did a great job earlier" he said as he smiled
"Great job?" She asked, playing dumb like she didn't know what he was talking about
"The shoot" he said
"Oh, it was just me doing my job, I didn't know you were around there" She said as she looked up at him
"Not really, I saw you as I was passing by" Wendy nodded her head slowly
'Liar, you were staring at me' she said in her mind
"I have to go, I have something to do" she said about to walk away but he quickly held her hand
"Wait, next week Saturday is my mum's birthday and I want to invite you, she also wants me to invite you, or won't you be available?" He said looking at her with his eyes wide open as if he was compelling her not to give a negative answer, she raised her head up to look at him
"I'm not sure but I'll try to shift my schedule since it's your mum" she said and he smiled, his smile was probably the nicest smile she has seen
"Thanks, I'll see you later" he said and Wendy walked away, his eyes didn't leave her till he couldn't see her anymore.
Wendy entered her office and sat on a couch, her office was a very spacious room, two big couches and a center table, her desk and seat in front. The room was painted lilac and there were so many work of art frames hung on the wall, so many awards and some books on the shelf beside her desk, and some mannequins in which clothes she had designed herself were worn. She was happy Zion invited her to the party and she smiled to herself as she took her pencil and sketch pad and started sketching.
Aaron Smith sat in his office, scrolling through Wendy's Instagram page, he knew that she was a beauty. Her presence, her gestures and her voice has this weakening effect on him but he always ignored and denied it. He liked her, at least more than she liked him, he thinks she was spoiled, well, he was also. She was stubborn, she toyed with many guys' feelings. He wouldn't deny that he was rude to her but she was also rude, his phone vibrated and he checked it
'I thought you said you were coming to pick me' he saw a message from Aishat, he forgot about his date. He stood up quickly and began to text her back.
He pulled into the parking lot and he has seen Aishat waiting impatiently, she was a black beautiful lady and she was a designer, she was wearing a peach suit and a black heel and her hair was tied up and decorated with nice clips, she smiled when she saw him come out of the car and she walked towards him
"Hey" he said and hugged her
"You kept me waiting, did you forget you have a date?" She asked him
"No, I just had so much work, let's go" he said and she smiled while he opened the door for her to enter the car. He was about to drive off when he saw Wendy and Zion holding hands as they walked to Wendy's car, a feeling of anger arose in him, he didn't know why, he didn't care, right?, he thought, he ignored and drove off
Wendy was through with work for that day and she exited from her office, she was busy with her phone and she was going to meet Isabella when she collided with Zion, her heart skipped a beat again, it has become a habit anytime she meets this man, she thought.
"I'm sorry" Zion said
"No, it's okay, we were both not concentrating. I thought you left earlier" Wendy said
"No, I had many things to do today, you are heading home right?" He asked
"I...I" Wendy stuttered
"Oh, you're going somewhere?"he asked
"No" she said, and the word Isabella kept ringing in her head and she looked down at her office
"Let me walk you to your car" he said and they both started walking
"What's with the friendliness these days?" She asked him
"What do you mean?" He asked as he looked down at her
"I mean, last week you were acting like I was a stranger" she said
"I'm sorry, I had a lot of things running through my head then" he said apologetically
"It's okay, I thought Ivy wouldn't let you talk to any other woman since you started dating" she said and smiled to herself
"Ivy and I are not dating, it's just a..., it's nothing" he said
"If you say so" She said
"Believe me" he said as he stood and held her hand
"I do" She said, even if she doesn't
"You look pretty today as always" he said trying to lighten up the moment
"You don't look bad yourself" she said and bit her lips a little bit and they both smiled, the smile vanished when she saw Aaron hugging Aishat, she quickly looked away so Zion wouldn't suspect what she was looking at
"Are you okay?" Zion asked
"Yes, I am" she said and held his hands and walked past Zion's car pretending she didn't see them "thank you for being nice today, and I hope you'll be like this for a while" she said and chuckled
"I will" Zion said as he also chuckled
"Bye" she said and entered her car, Zion waved and watched till she drove off. Angry Wendy started to think of a variety of things she would do to Aaron the next time she sees him, why was she angry, she didn't care right?, she thought about it.
"I hate him," she said.
