Chapter 2 Two

She arrived at the company in few minutes time as she walked shakily into the building. All through the ride,she was praying fervently that it should be a coincidence.

"Good day, I'm Heather Stone and I have an appointment with your boss," she said politely to the receptionist who smiled at her.

"Alright,hold on a sec,let me confirm," she responded as she checked through the computer.

"Oh,yes,you have an appointment, alright, the CEO's office is on the last floor,you should ride in the elevator as it would save time," the receptionist said to her with a smile.

Heather nodded politely as she was about to walk away.

"Ma'am,I love your designs," she said and Heather turned to her with a grateful look as she entered into the elevator.

"Wow, she's so pretty, I can't believe I met the renowned designer, I'm so lucky today," the little receptionist squealed as she posted it on the company's group chat.

As she got out of the elevator, Heather walked slowly to the office. She didn't know what fate awaited if she opened the door and she only hoped it worked in her favour.

She knocked on the door out of courtesy and she heard a gruff voice telling her to come in. She took a deep breath before she entered into the office.

Once she entered into the office,she was stunned speechless as she saw what was going on in the office.

There, the CEO was berating the secretary who stood at the side with her head lowered. She was being reprimanded for the wrong she had done.

"I'm sorry,carry on,I didn't see anything,I would be back once you are done," she said speedily as she tried to leave the office but she was stopped by an authoritative voice.

"Stop!!" He yelled and she stopped in her tracks.

"Face me," he ordered and she closed her eyes before facing him. She was stunned on seeing who it was.

"It's you!!" They both yelled at the same time. Heather got to her senses as she tried to escape but she was pulled back into the office.

"Sky, please give us privacy," he said and the lady bearing Sky did as told but not before giving a death glare to Heather who was speechless.

'Hello, I'm not the one who asked you to go something bad causing you to be reprimanded,' Heather thought to herself as she watched Sky leave. It wasn't her fault that the secretary was not professional.

"What the heck are you doing here?" He asked as he stared at the petite lady in his presence.

Heather took a deep breath before she said in a professional voice, "I'm the designer you want to work with."

Killian subconsciously let go of her as he heard what she said.

"Are you playing with me right now?" He asked not believing a word she said.

Heather was about to flip but when she recalled that she was the one who reached out for corporation,she calmed herself down.

"I'm really not lying, I'm the designer, it's fine if you don't believe me but your receptionist can't make a mistake,can she?" She asked at the verge of tears.

She wondered why he couldn't believe her.

"That aside,I remember you, how's your mom?" He asked and Heather gave him a suspicious look. How did he know about her mom?

"How do you know about my mom?" She asked with suspicion laced in her voice.

Killian choked as he wondered what answer he would give her.

"That's because,ehm,I did a little bit of investigation on you," he said with a cheeky smile.

Heather's mind was too far gone as she realized this was her baby's father. How could she tell him they had a son together?

"My mom died before I could make it to the hospital that night," she said calmly but Killian was rooted in shock.

'How could she say it that way? She sounds so calm,' he thought to himself as he stared at the woman he slept with five years ago.

"I'm deeply sorry for your loss," he said to her in a low tone but she didn't take it to heart because her next words were quite shocking.

"That's not a problem, she was destined to die anyways," Killian looked at her as though she was an alien.

"I have something to tell you," she said. She had decided to tell him that he had a son.

Yes,she wanted to bring the both of them together. She wanted them to be a big family. She did crush on this one night stand of hers.

"What do you have to tell me?" He asked as he took a seat. If he had known,he wouldn't have sat down because he wouldn't be prepared for the shock which was going to come to him.

"I have a son,he is five years of age," she muttered calmly.

"Oh, that's nice, it's good to have a.....," His voice trailed as he stared at her in disbelief.

"You have a son? Is he mine?" He asked calmly but he was far from being calm. He was fidgeting on his seat at the moment as he awaited her answer.

"Yes," she said simply and Killian could feel fireworks explode inside of him.

He had successfully become a father as a result of what happened five years ago.

"How is he?" He asked. He wanted to know everything about his son.

"He wishes to meet his father," Heather said as she stared right into his arms.

For the first time, Killian could feel an adrenaline pump inside of him. He could feel the excitement building inside of him as he stared at Heather with bright eyes.

"I have a son,I have become a father," he said whilst chuckling.

"I can't believe this,can I see him?" He asked Heather and she nodded affirmatively which made him stand up in excitement.

He hugged Heather out of impulse and Heather was frozen in her seat. She couldn't believe that the man who she loved could hug her.

Call her stupid or anything but she loved him even though she had only met him once. It was love at first sight for her. It was a crazy crush which blossomed into love.

"I'm so sorry,I was just too excited," he said as he let go of her. She nodded in understanding. At least he had hugged her,she was able to have few seconds of hug from him.

"When can we leave? I want to see him," he said in a childlike tone and Heather chuckled.

"But we haven't discussed the contract yet,I would love to work as a design consultant in your office," she said, determined to win the contract.

"Forget about the contract for a while,we can come back to discuss it,I just want to see my son if that's fine by you," he said and she forcefully nodded. She couldn't believe he would be enthusiastic after hearing that he had a son.

She was prepared to use various methods to convince him,but it didn't look like it was necessary anymore as he was fully prepared to give her the contract.

"Do you really want to see him?" Heather asked once more in order to be sure he was willing.

"Of course, I should be asking if he would be willing to see me," Killian pouted making Heather speechless.

She wondered if she came to the right company but standing in front of the man who she had secretly crushed on, she was sure she hadn't made a mistake.

If she hadn't,then why was he behaving like a kid with his lips pouted. Taking a glance at his lips,she was tempted to kiss him but she had to maintain a professional attitude or she might scare off a prospective lover.

"What does he like? I would have my assistant prepare it,I only hopes he accepts me as his father," Killian said already panicking. He seemed to had let go of the charade of cold man and put on the garment of a panicking father.

"He would like anything as long as you were the one who bought it," Heather said as she received a notification.

It was her son,who was asking when she would be back home?

'Soon,' she replied to him almost immediately. Her son was her utmost priority and she attached great importance to him.

"I would drop my address with your assistant,I have somewhere to be,you can come later in the night," she said as she stood up elegantly.

It was time for her to fight for her right. She would go meet Helena.

"Alright, why don't you just drop it with me,my assistant is out on an official task," Killian offered.

She pursed her lips slightly before she said, "I'll have to trouble Mr. Killian then." She wrote her address on a paper before passing it to him.

"There's no trouble Miss. Heather," he also said. This was the first time they both spoke professionally in the past thirty minutes.
