‘Brother?’ She asked, flabbergasted. On no Earth could Adam and Nathan be brothers. They were poles apart.
‘Yes. This is the brother I was meeting today, and to answer your earlier question – No, I was about to go and meet him.’ Adam replied as if nothing had happened.
Jeraldine could only nod.
The two brothers looked at her once and started to leave. Before they had the chance to close the door, she heard a bit of their conversation, ‘You didn’t tell me your new assistant is so hot.’ It was Adam.
She couldn’t hear Nathan’s reply, and she wanted to. Apart from her wanted to know if he would agree with his brother or not.
Her day so far had been going good. Nathan had mainly kept to his office, and she was happy about that.
There was so much of the man she could take in one day, and she had her fill for the day.
Adam was indeed a blessing in disguise. Just as she was about to leave to get the boss’s lunch, he had announced that both the brother were going out. Jeraldine found it funny. The entire office was more far more relaxing when Nathan wasn’t in the building.
She was also thrilled to have met Emma. The woman was beautiful and unique. She invited Jeraldine to lunch with two other colleagues, and she found herself having fun.
They went out to the nearest café, which was only 5 minutes away. Jeraldine had learned that the entire office got their lunch from there in case Nathan needed them back. She met Nina and Tom.
Nina was 7 months pregnant, worked in HR, while Tom was her husband and a friend of Nathan, if that was even possible. He was in the administration.
The couple was funny and goofy, and all throughout lunch, Jeraldine couldn’t help but feel lonely. Not that her father had left, she had no one. Jeraldine hadn’t had a boyfriend in over two years, and at this point, Jeraldine wasn’t sure how to find one. She had no social life, and she had just recently moved to the city. All of her grandmother’s friends were old.
She felt like she was in an interview; maybe it was; the one she had missed, initially. They had asked her why she was here and the whole story. And Jeraldine told them everything, except the part of her secret mission.
