The storm in my life
Chapter 18
Katherine’s POV
I was in my office going through the applications of the new
secretary post when Noah opened the door and walked in.
“Ready to go??” he asked walking towards my desk.
“Not yet, I’m still going through these applications”, I
said, flipping through the papers.
“You really need a secretary huh?” he asked and stood behind
my chair.
I really felt uncomfortable, so I leaned forward.
“Yeah, I need one as soon as possible”.
“Okay, you can continue tomorrow. My tummy is already
grumbling”, he said and walked towards the door.
“Alright”, I said, packing my stuff.
“We’re not coming back though”, he said, smiling.
“Why?” I asked, lifting my left brow.
“I’m taking you to your new apartment and we’re riding in
your new car”, he said.
“Who’s driving?” I asked, walking towards the door.
“You, it’s your car”.
“I can’t drive”, I said, looking down and playing with my
fingers.
“Don’t worry, I will drive you and then we’ll get you a
driver and a driving tutor”, he said, opening the door.
“Okay, thank you”, I said, grinning. I’ve smiled a lot today
and I bet my cheeks would be hurting at the end of the day.
“Let’s go”, he said, placing his hands at my lower back. I was
startled for a moment, but I just ignored it and walked out of my office.
We walked to the elevator and when we got in, Caroline also
got in and I just looked away.
I looked up and she was glaring at me. What’s with her? I wondered.
We got to the last floor and I could finally breathe.
“Miss Adams, I won’t be back till tomorrow morning, so
please forward all important information to my email”, he said to her.
“Sure”, she said, and then she walked ahead.
Noah and I walked out of the office and we went to the car
park and came across a red Nissan Maxima.
“This is your new car”, he said, smiling.
“You got to be kidding me”, I said, screaming.
“It’s yours Kat”, he said.
“Thank you so much”, I said, hugging him and I quickly took
out the car keys and unlocked it.
I looked inside it and it was so marvellous. I couldn’t believe
it. I have a car. Oh my God.
“Do you want to try it out”, Noah said to me.
“No. I don’t want to damage this beautiful soul”, I said.
I threw the keys in his hands and went to the passenger
side.
We both got in and he drove off.
We arrived at a restaurant which looked a bit familiar.
“Do you remember this place?” he said, laughing and that’s
when I remembered that it was the same place that I embarrassed myself when I had
just lingerie and a coat on.
“Yeah”, I said, looking away.
“Oh you don’t have to be shy about it”, he said and I still
looked away.
He parked the car and we both got out and walked inside the
restaurant.
The waited came to us and took us to a place to sit. We took
our seat and he gave us the menu.
I ordered for just pasta and a fruit juice. Noah ordered the
same and the waiter left.
“Why did you order just that”, he asked.
“You also ordered just that”, I said, beaming.
“Well, I just copied you, but I want to know your reason”.
“I don’t want to eat any weird thing. All the stuff on the
menu looked really weird and I don’t like trying to new stuff”, I said.
“Mmm, I see”.
“Yeah”.
“So, how’s your dad?”
“He’s fine. He will be discharged soon”, I said, smiling.
“Okay, we thank God”, he said.
“You are a Christian?” I asked.
“Not really. But I know that God exist”, he said, shrugging.
“That’s cool. More work to be done on you”, I said.
“I look forward to that, he said and I smiled.
Within few minutes the food arrived.
We gobbled the food like hungry dogs which just got released
from their cages.
“So you were hungry and you were making seem like I was the
only one”, Noah said, laughing and wiping his hands with the little towel that
was on the table.
I laughed on hearing that.
“The food is really good”, I said also wiping my hands.
“Yeah, next time, you have to try the other dishes, they’re
really good”.
“Mmm, I will try”, I said, sipping my drink.
“Yeah”.
After we were done, he dropped some money on the bill and we
left.
“Wasn’t that more than the bill?” I asked.
“Yeah, today is Christmas for the waiter”, he said, smiling.
“Do you do that every time you come here?” I asked.
“Yeah”, he said, shrugging.
“Mmmm, I see”, I said.
We got into the car and he drove off.
The ride was silent and I just drifted in my thoughts and fantasized
about what my new apartment was going to look like and how life was going to be
great.
I couldn’t believe this. I’m working and now I have a car
and an apartment.
God, you’re so great. I love you so much.
We finally came to a stop and I looked around.
“Why are we at your place?” I asked.
“Just step out and come with me”, he said.
“Mmm”, I said and I followed him in.
We took the elevator, but we didn’t arrive on his floor. We went
to another floor and finally stopped in front of the door.
“Whose place is this?” I asked.
“Your new apartment”, he said and I widened my eyes.
He’s kidding, right?
