     He strolled in casually into the building that held his studio and his office but halted when he saw the grimace on his best friend's face.

"Chris D, you are exactly 10 minutes and 25 seconds late".

Chris chuckled "I had to work on my looks".

Kcee rolled his eyes and clucked his tongue in disapproval "Mr Ore is here".

He walked past him "What does he want?".

Kcee pressed the notepad he had to his chest and walked carefully behind Chris "To discuss business of course".

Madu, Chris' favourite body guard chuckled softly obviously finding fun in Kcee's frustration but swallowed the rest when Kcee gave him a glare.
  
  Chris walked into his office with Kcee behind him talking furiously to some one on the phone.

He pushed open his door taking in the faint mahogany scent, He sighed in satisfaction as he flopped into his swivel chair and turned to the middle aged man sitting crossed- legged opposite watching him intently.

"Good morning Mr. Ore".

" Chris D, how are you doing?". Mr. Ore uncrossed his legs and sat up.

"I'm fine, have you had anything?".

"I don't want anything, I'll be quick. The EVEL's record label wants you in a collabo with Paul".

Chris groaned in annoyance "I don't like Paul".

"It doesn't matter, it's for the public. Take a look at this". Mr Ore handed him an I-pad.

Chris stared at the phone before reaching out to collect it. The video of his last song was paused as comments kept popping in.

"People would always talk, what about the way he feels?". Kcee asked.

"I understand he has personal issues with Paul but Paul has put his differences aside to do this, you should too". Mr Ore stood and adjusted his suit "I'll be back on Friday to get my answer".

"But that's too early". Chris whinned.

Kcee scoffed in disbelief and folded his arms staring at the older man "Next week".

"No problem, so far as I get my answer".

As Mr Ore walked out of the office, Chris let out a sigh and turned to Kcee. "What happens now?".

                   °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

"So sorry I'm late" Lara announced as she walked into the designing hall. "Traffic was much".

"Well, it's okay". Hannah, her personal assistant nodded and adjusted her glasses "You're just in time to watch us launch the outfits for The Macatts".

"It's ready?". Lara asked.

"Yeah but there's a little problem". A colleague chirped in.

Lara turned to the lady who had spoken "What's the problem?".

"A model resigned"

"Why?". Lara asked crossing her legs.

"She said nothing".

Lara heaved a sigh and uncrossed her legs "Recruit new models and get them ready for the big show in two weeks time".

"That's a short time to get models ready". Hannah spoke rubbing her temples.

Lara stood quickly "Just.....". She was interrupted sharply by the piercing sound of her ringtone.

She cursed inaudibly and reached for her Prada purse lying on the table, she rummaged through it before she got a hold of her phone, She checked the caller ID.

It was Chris.

what did he want?.

"This better be important".

"Keep it cool hun, we don't want your employees thinking your marriage is a sham now, do we?". His rasp voice asked.

She facepalmed and signalled Hannah and her crew to leave with a flick of her wrist.

She waited until they left the office, then closed the door tightly and crossed back to her seat.

"What do you want?". She asked

"I want to apologise with lunch".
Oh his voice_ stop it, she told her self harshly.

"Well that's fair enough but I can't, I have loads of work".

She knew she wanted to, she really wanted to have a lunch date him but he was doing it for the public, not like the  man who was in love with a lady would do.

She missed the several dates she had with Michael her ex, the memories they shared and though he had ended things with her before her dad's death, she still missed him.

Micheal was a cute popular guy she had met on campus, with his slick words he won her heart.

She had always felt giddy around him, he made her smile but with Chris, even when she wanted to hate him, she still felt safe with him.

"You're the boss, you could take a break if you wanted".

She could but she didn't want to "Fine". The words tumbled out before she could think.

His soft chuckles filled her ears "I'll call you".

She couldn't help imagining him smiling with his set of dimples on display, His dreamy eyes that peered into hers when she annoyed him staring at her and his lips she dreamed to kiss- stop it, She told herself.

She shook her head in a bid to erase all thoughts of him.

"Lara are you there?".

"Oh, yes?" .

"I said I'll call you later, I've got to run".

"Okay". She said before he hung the call.

She placed her phone on the table as her face stretched to a smile, he does care.
