Chapter 38 On a dinner date with my boss
°•°
“Yeah?, what happened?..”Larry asked.
Annie blinked her lashes rapidly.
“You mean Rico?, the same Rico?”she asked.
Larry nodded.
“What did you mean?, do you know him before?”
Larry tried getting out of the water and Annie shouted.
“What?, what are you trying to do?, stay fucking there!”
“But why?.”he asked.
“Eish!, shut up, I need to think… it can’t be Rico!, not him!.”
“I don’t get, do you know him?”Larry asked.
He tried getting out of the water again and Annie frowned.
“Gggh, have a little respect, you bozo!. Gggg…”she said and turned her back to him.
Larry chuckled.
He got out of the water and wrapped himself with a towel.
The door opened and Rico walked in.
He gave Annie a face and looked at Larry.
“You called me.”he said.
“Yes, Rico!. By the way, do you perchance know her?”
Rico turned to Annie and scoffed then shook his head.
“Oh, I see….”Annie hissed.
“I thought it’s Rico – my crush!”she added and turned back to Larry.
Larry paused staring intently at her.
“The one you mentioned in your dream?”he asked suddenly remembering the other night.
“Oh, I did that?. That must have been so embarrassing but not embarrassing. He’s one of my favorite actor in Soap Opera and just so you know, I’ve had a long crush on him. If I should see him now, I will just get married to him, that’s just how much I love him.”she expounded.
Larry cleared his throat and scoffed.
“Appreciating another guy in front of me?, don’t you think that’s rude, little miss.”he said.
“Rude?”
“Yeah, a disrespect even.”Larry replied.
“And why is it a disrespect and rude?. I have every right to appreciate another guy.”Annie said with an eye roll.
She traced her eyes down to his chest and pressed her lips together.
“Now, you should probably put something on, that’s way too tempting.”she said looking away from his chest and spun around then left the room.
Larry smiled and when he remembered Rico was in the room, he quickly frowned.
“Yes, I called for you. You will be my escort to where we are going.”
“I’ve always been your escort.”Rico replied rudely.
“And just so you know, I’ve already sent the pictures to the boss so stop acting bossy cause you will soon be out of that position you are and… probably killed!.”
“Now, that’s what I called disrespect. Anyway, since I will soon be out of the position, I should probably enjoy the little time I have to the peak and try to act as bossy as possible with the little time, don’t you think?”he asked with a smile.

Larry walked inside the room and shut the door.
Annie was on the bed typing away on her phone and grinning from ear to ear.
He walked behind her trying to see if he could see who she is chatting with that’s making her smile so much like this.
He gave up when he couldn’t catch anything and moved to his wardrobe.
He pulled out a black jeans, black top and a black leather pullover then put it on.
“I’ll be stepping out for a while. I have somethings to take care of. Stay indoor for the meanwhile. I’ll soon be back.”
“I’m going out also.”Annie replied without looking at him.
“Where?,”
“On a date!”she replied.
“With who?”
“A very very good friend of mine!”
“Do you really have to go?”he asked.
Annie dropped her phone and turned to him.
“Excuse me?, you say what?”she asked with a frown.
Larry sighed then shook his head.
He walked out of the room.
Annie rolled her eyes at the door.
She got down from the bed and went to get dress for the date.

Rose watched as Larry left the compound and smirked.
The girl will be the only one in the room now. Just perfect time to execute her plans!.
She walked to the kitchen and took a knife and hide it in her chest and head to the room.
Thank God, there’s no camera in his room so no way she’s gonna get caught.
She got to the door and as she made to turn the knob, the door sprawl opened revealing a gorgeous Annie.
Rose nibbed at her bottom lip and gave a fake smile.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“You’re going out?”
“Well, yes. What are you doing here?”
“Uh… Larry went out and he uhm… asked me to keep you company.”she lied.
“Oh, that’s so nice of him then.”Annie smiled.
“Anyways, tell me, how do I look?’
“You look good enough. But I’m sure Larry won’t be at all pleased when he heard you went out.”
“Not your problem tho.”Annie shrugged and left the door.
“And I don’t buy your lie. It’s too cheap but thanks for asking if I would patronize tho.”Annie smirked and walked away.
Boyd was already waiting for her in front of the hotel.
She got out and waved at him then walked towards him.
Boyd let’s out a cute smile.
“You look good, little Ann.”he complimented.
“I sure do and you too!, you not that bad, Mr Boyd!.”
“I’ll take that as a compliment, thanks anyway.”Boyd beamed and went to get the door for her.
Annie hopped in not before thanking him.
Boyd also entered and zoomed off.
*He’s such a caring man*Annie thought.

Annie’s eyes studied the contents in the menu card before looking up at the waitress.
“I love all the food here, I’m confused, which one do I pick, can you help me out?.”
The lady smiled.
“Why not ask your fiancee ma’am?. I’m sure he will pick well for you.”she said turning to Boyd.
Annie rolled her eyes and looked at Boyd.
“You choose.”she slides the card to him.
He nodded and took it after scouring his eyes around the content, he said: “Two plate of spiced chicken with two bottle of orange juice and…. uhm…. well, a bottle of red wine will also do.”
“Alright, sir. I’ll be back.”she said and walked away.
A soft romantic music was playing in the background and Annie drummed her fingers on the desk and hummed to the lyrics.
Boyd watched her as she do this and smiled brightly.
He should grab this girl before no one else will do.
The waitress came back minutes later with their order and placed it on the table before them.
She opened the wine and filled it to the middle of the glasses.
She placed the bottle down.
“Do enjoy your meal, sir and ma.”she said and bowed then moved away.
“Okay, I can’t wait to have a taste of this!.”Annie said while picking up the fork.
Her mouth watered.
Boyd smiled and carried the glass of wine and sipped out of it.
Annie stabbed the fork on the chicken and started munching on it.
“This is so delicious!.”she complimented amidst munching.
“Not as delicious as yours tho.”Boyd replied.
“Eish, I will take that as compliment.”she smiled and carried her glass wine and gulped it down in a Go.

After spending some time with each other, Boyd dropped Annie back at the door.
He opened the door for her and Annie got out.
She stepped back, standing a few inches from you.
“Thanks. I really enjoyed the time spent with you.”she smiled.
“Really?, I like that. Same here, I enjoyed your company pretty much.”
Annie nodded.
“So, I will go in now.”she said nodding towards the gate.
“Wait, just a minute.”he stopped her and moved to her, closing the gap between them.
Annie suddenly felt hot.
He used his thumb to remove the crumbs of food on her lips and smiled.
“Oh, thanks. I must be pretty clumsy.”she said.
Then, what he did next shocked her.
He kissed her forehead.
All this while, Larry was watching them from the balcony.
