Chapter 6


 The following morning, Carl wakes up and walks to the living room where she sees her father and mother dressed.

 She looked at them and smiled as she remembered her father would be going to the beach along with her mother.
 
 "Good morning, father.
Good morning, mother." She greeted.
 They both turned back looking at their lovely daughter.

 "How are you doing, Carl?
" Her father asked.
 "I am doing fine.
" Carl said smiling.
 "I would like to thank you for making my day  yesterday.
" Her father said and she smiled.
 "All pleasure is mine.
" She said placing her hand on her chest as she took a bow.
 "Carl, aren't you going out today?
" Her mother asked and she smiled.
 "I am Mum.
I would be going to my fashion house today." Carl replied and Mrs. Robin nodded.
 Her mother and father both got up to leave.

 "Leaving for the beach?
" Carl asked and they nodded.
 "Have you both had something to eat?
" She asked and they both shook their head.
 "No we haven't.
" Mrs. Robin said.
 "Alright, I would quickly get you something to eat.
" Carl said but was stopped by her mother.
 "Remember, we do not eat anything before going to the beach.
Do not worry, we are going to get ourselves some dishes when we get to the beach." Mrs. Robin said and Carl nodded her head.
 "Alright Mom.
Alright Father." Carl said as they left the house.
 She sat on the couch minutes later as she thought of Dylan.

 A smile crossed her face but she kept a straight face when she remembered that she was only to meet him.

 "It may only be once that I see him and nothing much.
" She said to herself.
 Minutes later, she walked back into her room and had her bath.

 She walked back to the living room with a comfortable gown and walked into the kitchen where she met the cook.

 "Good morning, Miss.
" The cook greeted and she replied her back.
 "Miss, you should go to the living room, I would bring you your meal.
" She said and Carl nodded.
 Carl walked out of the kitchen to the living room.

 The house cleaner walked up to her and requested if she was to take off the decorations.

 "No, do leave the decorations till when I want them removed.
Moreover, it beautifies the house." She said with a smile on her lip.
 The maid nodded taking a bow.

 Minutes later, Nathalie walked into the living room with a plate which was dropped on the table beside Carl.

" Thank you, Nathalie.
" Carl said.
" What will you like to have with your meal?
" Nathalie asked.
 "Water, just water.
" Carl said.
 Nathalie walked into the kitchen and came out minutes later with a cup of water.

 "Here, Miss.
" She said dropping a bottle of water and a cup of water on the table beside Carl.
 "Thank you.
You can go to your duty post." Carl said and Nathalie nodded then walked away.
Done eating her meal, Carl drank some water then got up to leave the house.

 A maid walked in to carry the plates.

 Carl left the house and entered the new car she had ordered for.

 On her way to the fashion house, she saw Dylan who was walking.

 "Dylan!
" She called out and he answered walking to her.
 "Yes Miss.
" He said and she opened a door for him to get in.
 "Alright.
Thank you, Miss." He said and she took a bow.
 "All my pleasure.
" She said.
 "Where are you heading to?
" Carl asked looking at him.
 "To work.
" Dylan replied.
 Carl took a deep breath as she out on her accelerator.

 "Where is it?
" She asked.
 "Pardon!
" Dylan asked as he didn't understand what she was asking.
 Carl smiled noticing that he didn't understand her.

 "Your workplace.
" She replied him.
 He gave her the name of his current workplace and direction and she offered to give him a ride to his place of work.

 "No Miss, you don't need to.
" He said but she insisted on dropping him.
 She drove to the company of whose workers came to decorate her house.

 She noticed one of the men who came along with Dylan to decorate her house.

 Dylan got off her car and bade her goodbye as he entered the company.

 She stayed in her car watching as Dylan walked into the company and when she could no longer see him, she took in a deep breath then reversed the car and drove away.

 "What is up with me?
, Am I being desperate?, Why is it that whenever I see him, my heart do beat?" She asked herself and decided to let the thought go.
 Minutes later, she reached the fashion house and drove to pack her car after which she stepped down from the car and locked it.

 She entered the fashion house and her body guard walked at her back.

 She walked straight into her office and had her seat while she thought on what to do.

 She dipped her hand into her purse and brought out the card which Dylan had given to her.
She was meeting with him two days from now which was going to be weekend. 
"What if he confesses his feelings to me.
" She asked herself looking at the card.  "No, it can't be. We just met each other. We have barely known each other.
 She looked down and smiled remembering what he had said to her when he came to her house.
 
 "Hello Miss.
" Naomi said knocking Carl's door. 
 "Come in.
" Carl said as she hid the card back in her purse. 
 Naomi walked in with a worker named Sarah.
 
 Sarah is a chubby lady who is hard working.
She has been offered to be promoted many times but she has been rejecting it. 
Carl looked at Sarah and could only think that she wants the promotion.
 
 "Hello Sarah.
Do have your sit." She said pointing to a chair in front of her while Naomi had her sit in the next chair. 
 "Good morning, Sarah.
Good morning Naomi." Carl greeted and they both nodded. 
 Naomi cleared her throat.
 
 "She has some things to ask of you.
I will be leaving you both to discuss." Naomi said getting up from the chair. 
 Minutes after, Carl faced Sarah smiling.
 
 "Let me know whatever you need.
" She said thinking Sarah needed a promotion. 
 Sarah cleared her throat before speaking up.
 
 "I will like to take a leave of two weeks, ma.
" Sarah said. 
 Carl looked at her as she wasn't expecting that.
 
 "Alright.
Why would you want to take a leave?" Carl asked. 
 "There's a family crisis which I have to take care of as I am the first child.
" Sarah said and Carl smiled. 
 "Why do you think you can fix it within two weeks.
What if it persists long?" Carl asked but Sarah could not respond. 
 "Alright, I will like you to go solve the issue at home then come back when you are done.
You will still retain your position." She said and Sarah nodded with a bow. 
 "Thank you very much, Miss.
" She said with a bow. 
 Carl took a deep breath as Sarah left.
 
 She already had her plans for the next day.
She isn't coming to the fashion house but she is going to get some fanciful clothes she can wear to the date with Dylan. 
 She only hopes everything goes fine.
 
 Hours later, she walked out of her office and walked to her car with her security guard following her.
 
 She entered her car and began to drive.
 
 At a cross road, her eyes met with Dylan.
 
 She got off her car and offered him a ride which he obliged.
 
 Entering the car, their hand met and a slight smile crossed her face.
 
 "Are you gonna come for the date?
" Dylan asked feeling she won't come anymore. 
 "I am surely going to come.
" She said making Dylan happy. 
 "Alright.
" He said and focused on the road. 
 "Where do you live?
"  She asked and he gave her his address. 
 He was living a few distance away from where he fixed the date and it was 15 minutes drive away from her house.
 
 "Alright, goodbye.
" Dylan said getting down from the car. 
 He didn't allow her drop him in front of his house but his friend's house.
 
He walked through the gate and waited for her car to leave before going out of the gate and walking down the road.
 
Carl got to her house minutes later and laid on her bed as she smiled.
 
 She got up from the bed and walked to the kitchen.
 
 She served herself some drinks then walked to the living room where she sat with her legs crossed.
 
 She waited for her parents to get back as the maids had gone to their various houses.
 
 An hour later, her parents walked in and she welcomed them.
 
 "You should have your sit.
" She said to her parents and went into the kitchen to get some drinks for them. 
They both smiled collecting the drink from their daughter.
 
 Minutes later, they were done having the drink and took a bit of rest.
 
 They shared their experience in the beach to their daughter who happily listened.
 
 Carl also explained how her day worked.
 
 She told them about Dylan and how they started discussing.
 
Her parents were happy when they heard that their daughter was going on a date with a man.
