Business Date

4 hours later, it is only just turned 1 pm and I finished everything at the office so I need to go home and get ready for the business date if that’s what you call it.

On my way, I am wondering why I even asked her on the business date. I’m just going to put on a suit and tie. I don’t know what else to wear and I’m not even sure if it’s going to be casual or fancy because it’s a business date for more makes more sense so I will go with that.

Meanwhile In Meis house

A business date, my coldhearted Boss is taking me on a business date. I’m assuming it is both apology and trying to get to know his secretary but it still feels weird. The last four weeks has been such a horrible person to me. I can’t blame him though. He’s probably so nervous about his business getting destroyed from the inside so it is very understandable but I didn’t like how he handled it as if he’s going to apologise via a dinner, I’m completely okay with that. I just hope he is being sincere about his apology.

I need to get changed, I’m assuming because it is a business state we have to wear business attire so I’m just going to put on a black dress and hope for the best.

I’m on my way to collect Mei from her house, and for some reason I am nervous maybe I’m nervous because I don’t want her to get the wrong idea or maybe it’s simply because I need to properly give her an apology for how I treated her. I’m not quite sure yet, but at some point during the talk, I need to give her sincere apology.

Hi over here Miss. Mei. I See Mei walk towards me and I am not blind she looks incredible however, my pride won’t let me let her know how I feel about her in her dress.

“Hello Sir, sorry for being late I couldn’t put on my dress”

haha it’s honestly no problem, let’s get you in the car it’s cold outside. God she is beautiful I honestly don’t know what to say, I’m speechless f*ck I wish I didn’t tell her to not fall for me.

“By the way Alec, can I call you Alec?”

Of course you can call me Alec Miss Hinata, we are outside of work.

“I think you look good in that suit, don’t get me wrong, I understand you don’t want to to fall for you however, I just wanted to tell you that.”

she thinks I look good in a suit, I don’t usually get nervous, but for some reason, I feel really nervous I don’t know how I’m supposed to reply to her. Should I tell her I think she looks good too God I don’t know I don’t want her to get the wrong idea I’m just going to swallow my pride and tell her.

Hey, I think you look good in that dress as well. It really suits you the colour I mean. And also I want to apologise properly about the other day. I didn’t mean what I was saying well I meant at the time but I reflected back and it was just disrespectful and I didn’t even ask. Assumed that something I need to work on with myself.

Oh my God, he apologised and an actual apology. I understand why he did that, although it did hurt it is understandable considering it had happened before in the past the apology because everyone makes mistakes

“ hey, don’t apologise although it did hurt my feelings. I do understand why you did what you did. It must’ve been hard know when one of the employees had lied to you just to ruin your business so I’m not going to hold a grudge.”

Thank you so much I appreciate it and from now on I’m going to try to be a little less grumpy and I’m getting used to having you here.

anyways, let’s go to the restaurant, I booked us a reservation. I’m driving us to the restaurant and I’m still thinking about how she looks in that dress. I don’t know why I have feelings like this. I try so hard to stay away from romance. What happened to my mum my dad.

20 minutes later

Finally, we are at the restaurant is out of the car first open the door for Mei I’m holding her hand whilst she gets out of the car she’s wearing beautiful black heels they make a quite tall and I’m 6,5 even so in the hills. She is still 8 inches shorter than me.

You go in first , I say to her as I let her past me.

We sit down at a reserve table , Mei picks up the menu and scans it before she chooses to order something. She looks at me, and I say.

It’s fine, order whatever you want, I have enough money. You don’t have to worry about anything seriously.

She starts to order. I’m waiting for her to order before I choose what I want to eat after five minutes she finishes choosing what she wants and puts her order in.

Two hours past and we just finished eating. I’m trying to think of words to come up with just a conversation with her. I never know how to talk to people when I speak words come out as harsh and monotoned so always sounds like I’m in a bad mood or I’m telling them off that is usually not the case unless they did something for me to talk like that.

When I was younger, my parents used to meet me, especially considering I am from a Italian household. Discipline is very important as much as I didn’t like how they punished me, it was necessary and it’s made me the man I am today.

I open my mouth to say something to her “ how has the past month and a half been for you” she replies “ apart from the harsh words you have said to me, it’s been fine”

I sigh I understand what she’s saying and I feel bad I do but I don’t know how to work on that. It’s all I’ve known I feel bad I treated her like that she hasn’t done anything directly bad to me. It’s just baggage that I have.

“ look, I’m sorry I don’t apologise so bear with me but this is how I was brought up not using this as an excuse however, I’ve never been able to express my feelings without using harsh words” she smiles but it’s a sad smile. I’ve never seen her look so down, not even when I accused her of being a spy for her fathers business.

“ I know I did wrong and although I don’t know how to apologise without sounding sarcastic, but I am sorry and I will work on my attitude although it will take time I am willing to try” she smiles again, but this time, it’s a happy smile smile to show her gratitude

“ that’s all anyone wants in the office. When I first started on the first day I heard rumours I didn’t want them to be true, and from your first impression I thought it was” I don’t know what to say my own employees hate me. I mean I knew people were scared of me hate me I had no idea.

“Shit, I didn’t know people thought about me like that” I’m disheartened I don’t know what to do or what to say. I just sit there, quietly, thinking about what to do or how to reply to her. I feel stupid.

“ but hey, at least now I can tell them that you are a good person you took me out to dinner to apologise and a treat me and when I hear that their opinions will change of you”

Now I smile I don’t do it often, but for some reason my muscles on both sides of my face tightened I feel like I’ve achieved something it’s a good feeling.
