2025-01-21 13:58:00She had never been to Bite and Brew, but she had seen pictures, and she knew that it was a formal setting. Not exclusively formal, but it was a nice place.
Beautiful lights, splendid table clothes, and according to reviews she had seen online, excellent customer and deliver service.It meant that it was a good place, but it also left her with the problem of not knowing what to wear.At that moment, she wished that Natalie was in her house, and they had never quarreled in the first place.Opening the oven, she retrieved the apple pie she had been baking, her mother's favourite recipe. Staring at it, she seemed to acknowledge how lonely her life was.A huge cake, but nobody was there to eat the cake with her.It was saddening.Scooping a spoonful into her mouth, she wondered if it was weird if she packaged some in a foil bag for Lut. Was she doing too much? It was only their first date.So how was she goin

Making amends
She could cover her bills if Lutenant bluntly refused to. She glanced at him, but he was totally ignoring them, his eyes on his phone, as though their discussion didn't exist. She could feel the unspoken anger even though he hadn't said anything. “Well, we'll have to use the bus first. It will take us down to the consortium, where we'll get our cars and go down to the restaurant. Have you grabbed your things?” “Yes, I have. Everything is in this bag.” Claudia muttered, touching the bag that was slung over her shoulder. The bus approached the group of three, parking at a distance ahead of them. For the first time since Claudia had interrupted their discussion, Lut spoke. “Are we ready?” Nodding, Aurora found herself wondering if Lutenant's anger towards her was because of her persistent need to push herself forward, or if there was something else attached. * For the first time in days, Richard made it to
After hours
By the time the sun had set and the rest of the team members who had come to the outskirts had begun to leave for their various homes, Aurora was hungry and aching so badly for her bed. She smiled at Lutenant, who seemed to the brightest one of them all, how he was still smiling even after such a long day was baffling. To her, it was what made him their superior. Because she couldn't even imagine herself smiling after such a tiring day. “So, what do you say? What is your suggestion? Which buildings do we start working on first?” Aurora almost told him that she performed better as a worker when her stomach was filled and she had eaten, but decided to clamp down on her words by smiling instead before replying. “Definitely the administrative building. It looks okay, but a little painting needs to be done. We're going to be having a lot of clients come in, right? If that is the case we need to make it look very good, comfortable for ever
Bail or betrayal
Her social life back in college was good. It was just that life grew serious after a while, and she retreated into her shell.But she always tried to have fun whenever she could.“We're hoping there are no damages whatsoever to this company, right, Mr Frederickson? Tricking us has its consequences, you know.”It was one of the lawyers, a stern faced man called Terry speaking.Mr Fredrickson shook his head.“I would never do that. I support whatever Lutenant is about to do here and respect him and his company way too much. I can't do that.”“Good. If that is the case, you can sign the final document releasing the company which was once yours to its new owner.”The scribbling was done in a few minutes.Aurora watched Lut stand to his feet, a spring in his step. She could literally see the happiness on his face and his every movement.“Thank you for this, Mr Fredrickson. I cherish this opportunity to lead your company, and trust me when I say I will do my best to maintain the standard yo
The take over
Moving in the bus alongside two lawyers from Jimmy's law firm, which was the firm that his company always patronized, Lutenant James felt ready for what was the final lap of the company he had just purchased.He wasn't happy. In fact, he was elated.He had seen what he was about to do grow from an idea to reality. And without doubt, he was going to do everything in his power to make sure that the company got the status that he was aiming for.Next to him was Aurora, who was gradually sipping her iced tea.Staring at her lips briefly, he knew that trying to forget that he had kissed her during Natalie's housewarming party was never going to happen.The kiss was at the back of his mind, reoccurring, time and time again no matter how hard he tried to avoid it. It seemed inevitable.“You've looked at my tea so much that I'm beginning to worry you might want a taste.”He laughed, running a hand through his hair.“I admit that I should've brought something along with me, even water at most.
Under the radar
“Oh, I understand you well, sir. But getting in touch with this transport company will do us a lot of favors.” She paused, looking around for heads nodding in agreement, and when she saw it, she continued speaking. “The consortium is a huge institution, and I know that at one point or the other, we're going to need multiple means of transportation. This is where they come in.” It was just a contribution, but Lut felt worried. Why was it looking as though she had sabotaged the meeting? He couldn't wait to end it. Claudia always succeeded in making him so nervous no matter how hard he tried to hide it. “That's a brilliant contribution, Claudia. I like that. Oh,” Lut added, smiling and raising his hands as though it was clasped in prayer. “Forgive me for not introducing her sooner. Everyone, this is Claudia, our new intern. She's working under Aurora for the moment, so you're going to be seeing a lot of her and hearing a lot of those b
Work force workshop
Because director Edward had given her the permission to be under Aurora, Claudia had followed her to the hall where executives had their meetings. Seeing her there made Lutenant uncomfortable, but he didn't show it. Instead, he tried to focus on the team members that Aurora had chosen. They were all good workers. Ranging from Mr Green, to Doctor Gregory, Alicia, Aurora herself, and Mr Bedford. Lutenant had worked with them previously on the Deja Vu project, and could attest to how hardworking and creative they were. He needed people like them by his side if he wanted the new company he had just purchased to move forward. “Thank you all for coming here. I'll try my best to be as brief as possible because in an hour or two, we'll be on our way to the outskirts where y'all will take your first tour around the company we have just bought.” He paused, looking at each and everyone of them. He knew Claudia's eyes w
