Chapter 1 Bond

Anna a tall ,caramel skinned,bouncy hair,petite and an extrovert when she wants to

She opened her eyes and used her hands to block the sun rays that came through her window "it's Monday again" she said to herself, Which meant she had to go to work.

She quickly got up from her bed to brush her teeth and get ready for work,luckily she didn't have to rush to work like other employees since she was a director at where she worked and she was sure she had little to do unless the ceo comes.she double checked her clothes before getting out of the house.

She pressed a button on her car key to open her convertible purple and elegant car which she felt matched her personality especially the fact that she Is an extrovert and also an introvert. She parked at her space in the company parking lot and took a deep breath as she stepped out of the car,"time for work" she whispered to herself and on getting to the reception she noticed that people were rushing around

"Hi guys, how are you doing, where are you all rushing to?

"What's wrong why are they all rushing? She asked

Tristan

"The ceo sent for all team leaders and department heads"

"Okay then,let's go" Anna said

"Geez,don't tell me they're done with the meeting" Emma said to Tristan, when she noticed that the people were chattering

"I guess so" Tristan replied

"Hey, Emma, why are you late and you Tristan, I suddenly noticed you were no longer with me when I got here,where did you go?" Mark asked

"Well I was just waiting for Anna ,she made me come late" Tristan replied

"okay then, the ceo has already addressed us but I will explain to you guys later. I want to rest for now" mark said

"Why don't you tell us now? And what work have you done,that makes you think of rest this early morning?" Anna inquired playfully

"Well I went hunting for cute girls last night " he replied winking at them

"Ohhh.... Our never failing womanizer, don't just forget you have to brief us what the ceo said later" emma said

While arranging her table,Emmanuel her boyfriend snuck in and grabbed her

"Hey babe,how are you doing" Emmanuel said while stroking her hair and the other hand on her waist

"come on stop it, what if someone sees us" Anna said "what's the big deal" Emmanuel replied "we are youths and we don't need to hide from people or bother if they know about our relationship" he added

"well no one here knows about us,unless you've told your friends about us" Anna said

"well some people know" Emmanuel said, Anna stared at him in disbelief "well reasonable people.... Actually" Emmanuel quickly added. Why is she saying this as if our close friends are not aware of our relationship,she's being overtly secretive about us" he said to himself

"well our friends know about us....,.are you cheating on someone? and I'm your secret lover? He inquired knowing fully well that she has a lot of admirers

" hell no, emmanuel do you mean you don't trust me since all these years? She replied getting angry already

"well who knows, we've been dating for 3yrs now and you don't like people knowing we're dating" he replied blurting out his mind

" so you're saying you don't trust me right?" She replied breathing heavily

"why don't you want people to know about us,we've been together since you were 19 and I was 20 your excuse then was that you were still a teenager but now you're a freaking 22 year old woman that lives alone, isn't that enough proof that you're independent and can control your life?

" he said to her hoping to convince her " we are youths now " he said to her

"people can know about us,I just don't like the questions I'll be asked once everyone knows about us" "plus you're a shareholder here and people will think I seduced you" she said playing with her fingers "please sweetheart ,let them get to know by themselves,let them suspect and when we're asked we confirm it.....please"she said blinking her eyes like a puppy

" I love it when you call me that" he said tickling her "why not bribe me"he said

"You want me to call you cute names right?" She replied smiling with her lips

" If you want us to settle this then call me my love" he pouted his lips to her

"Okay,I'm really sorry my love"she said blushing and grinning from ear to ear

"Yeah,that's my woman" he said dragging her towards himself and making sure he was pressing their bodies together,making her gasp in surprised

"Sweetheart,please stop it,what are you planning"she said

"Why should I stop cuddling my woman" he said into her ears,making her feel the heat of his breath

" This is not the right time and place, I have to go to mark to tell me what the ceo said in the meeting this morning

" I could tell you what he said , I was in the meeting "he told her

"No I'll hear it from mark cause I know you won't concentrate on what you're supposed to brief me"she said

" then I give up" he said raising his hands up in resignation "but that means I have to let my queen go " he said batting his eyes like a puppy and she wondered why she still blushed at his teases" aww my empress is shy " he said when he noticed her blushing

"Just let me go and we'll catch up later or I come visit you or we do it the other way round" she said and tiptoed to kiss him

"What about me kissing you at the reception tomorrow, that way we're clarified" he said to her

" we have an agreement already emmanuel,and why do I feel like you just want to kiss me in public" she smirked at him and quickly left the office before he teased her again
