Chapter 2

When I got home, Alex wasn't there, earlier today when I came home, he told me he would go out with Anna.

I change my clothes and went to the bed. I turned off the sound of my phone and surprisingly fell asleep quite quickly.

The next day the alarm woke me up. It was 7 AM, I put on my sports team, put on my sneakers and as I went every morning to run. When I came back I found Alex in the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

"Hey kid, you look terrible what happened?" He asked, turning off the hot plate.

"Hey, that's a long and crazy story," I said, and sat down at one of the bar-chairs. He sat next to me, and I told him everything that happened at dinner.

"That's really ... crazy." He embraced me in a "bear hug".

After I let go, I went to my room, washed myself, got dressed and got my phone. I had many missed calls from my parents and even from Reed Carter. When I walked into the kitchen, Anna and Alex were already having breakfast, sitting at the bar and having breakfast together, then went out to work.

The day was busy and I was happy about that because I didn't have time to think about last night. About noon I decided to finally accept one of my parents many calls to tell them I need time, but they insisted on meeting tomorrow at noon.

Now I got out of work and went to my car when I heard someone call me.

"Mia" I didn't turn around because I knew who is it "Mia, why are you running away from me?"

"I'm don't running away from you Mr. Carter, I'm going to my car," I said with my business tone.

"I know that what happened yesterday is strange and ... and startling, but maybe we can discuss it at dinner ?"

"I don't think that's okay, you're my boss's boss." That was a stupid argument.

"I understand why you act like that, but give me a chance to explain you."

"I ... I have to go home." I said, and continued toward my car.

"I'll send you a message with the time and place," he told me.

I didn't answer, just getting into the car and getting home. As I cleaned up at home, I got a message from Reed, writing about where and when she wanted to meet. I was staring at the message and had no idea what to do.

"Will you go?" Alex ask me. "It's a very expensive restaurant and he own it."

"I don't know ... and how do you know he ownthe restaurant ?"

"I am a financial manager in his company, so I know such things. Well, will you go ?"

"He said he would be waiting for me there would be rude if I did not go, and yesterday too, I was rude to leave. All day I felt awful about it."

"Well, let us choose your clothes then. I'll take you and then call me when you want to pick you up."

"I can go with my car," I said

"No, you can't."

I chose my clothes and dressed up then I put some makeup and we go. When we got to the restaurant, Alex stopped me before I went downstairs of the car.

"If you want to go just call me."

"All right."
