Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Adrian walked to his chair and sat on it whereas Katherine rooted in the same place.  Jessica knocked on the door on the other side of the door.

 "Who is it?" Adrian yelled. 

"It's Jessica. May I come in?" She answered from the other side. 

"Fine. Please come in." He replied. 

Jessica entered the room with the flower bouquet. She saw Adrian with a different look. She smiled and said, "I am very happy that you are the CEO of this company. I am so glad that you are now in charge and I am sure that you will make our company a very good one." 

"I hope so "replied Adrian. 

Then Jessica noticed Katherine already was in his cabin and was standing far from them. She felt disappointed as she wanted to meet him alone to impress his boss on his first day.

"I am sorry Mr. Wilson. I think I disturbed your work." Jessica said, looking at Katherine. 

"No, it's fine. Please have a seat" said Adrian politely to show his disrespect to Katherine. 

Jessica sat down. She knew that she was not going to meet him alone unless she created an opportunity by herself.

She looked at Katherine's face and thought something was wrong but ignored it.

" Do you need to discuss anything with me?" Adrian asked her.

Jessica stuttered and said, " Just I wanted to greet on the first day of the work"

" It's so nice of you, Miss. Miller. " He replied in a calm tone.

" You can call me Jessica. " She said, giving a small smile.

" Okay..Miss. Miller. I mean... Jessica" he said.

 She blushed slightly and looked at him differently.

" Jessica, I think we should resume back to our respective work as I need to talk with Kathrine," Adrian said looking at Katherine. 

She sighed with a sad look.

" Hope I would get a chance to be his assistant to this handsome  CEO," she thought in her mind.

She stood up from the chair and walked to the door. She turned towards Katherine giving an irritating look before closing the door.

Katherine was looking at him as a prisoner does its jailer. She felt like he was a wall that she cannot escape.

He felt bad for hurting her, but she was the one who didn't respect him. He felt bad for being the way he was. But he never wants to apologize for that because she made him a stone-hearted person. But he did nothing to change his ways. He felt happy as if she was the prisoner in his grip. But he couldn't do anything about it. 

They both were exchanging stares silently.

She knew that he hated her for not being able to do what she did. She knew that he hated her for ruining his life. She knew that he hated her for not apologizing and not showing any sign of remorse for what she did.  

She wanted to tell him that she remembered the way he used to love her. 

She wanted to tell him that she was a fool that she left him.

" Miss. Davis…" 

His voice came out from her chain of thoughts.

She moved towards his chair timidly. His ego was satisfied on noticing the fear in her eyes. 

"From now on, you should use the personal secretary's cabin but not the HR cabin." He ordered in a serious tone.

" Yes Sir," she replied meekly.

" Bring me one coffee in five minutes" he ordered.

She nodded her head and walked out of the cabin to bring him the coffee. After a while, she came with a coffee to him and noticed him talking over the phone. 

She quietly walked towards him and placed the coffee cup on his work table. She stood away from his chair to maintain a decent gap between them. She doesn't understand whether to stay in his cabin or leave the cabin. She started thinking, fiddling her fingers. 

Still talking over the phone, he noticed her actions with his eyes. 

 A few habits never change it seems, he thought in his mind looking at her delicate finger which she was fiddling with.

While looking at her, he took the cup into his hands and sipped the coffee. It was his favorite flavor.  

" Still she remembers my favorite flavor!!" He was bewildered.
