"Were you talking about , Brina?" Louis asked, taking a seat on her left.
Seeing her staring at him, he chuckled.
So, he is not the only one who is feeling like this.
It’s mutual between them.
"Or, did you forget who I am, Ms. Parker?" Louis teasingly asked.
Brina got startled for a brief mont but a smile crossed her lips.
She looked at Louis whose eyes were playfully looking at her.
"How can I forget the person who has stolen a kiss from a drunken girl?" She played along.
Why does his presence calm her heart, almost instantly?? All that weight, distress and lancholy....they just flew out of the window for a while and all she could feel is the ’real’ her... the one who used to be mischievous, jolly and energetic.
anwhile, Louis is truly surprised that he couldn’t help but smile. He didn’t think that she would flirt back.
Maybe, she likes him too...
However, even Brina is surprised that she just flirted with soone.
It just slipped out of her tongue even before she could hold it.
She has always been soone who talks very limitedly...now and even in the past as well. She was not a person who flirts like this... she has always maintained her solemn and formal attitude.
Louis has not only brought her past self but has also invoked so of the new shades in her.
What are her feelings for this man?
She is often losing her self-control whenever he is around.
Losing self control is sothing very foreign and peculiar to her...
"So, Ms. Parker, you did take my advice seriously then. I am glad that you ca here for the interview." Louis said, after a few seconds of looking at each other and wondering what is happening with their hearts and their minds.
"Of course I took your advice, mister. Who would say no to such a nice suggestion from a kind man?" Brina asked, her voice playful.
anwhile, Calvin almost felt like choking his heart out.
Kind?
Did this woman just address Edward as kind?
"But honestly, thank you so much for helping out. I really needed this job" Brina thanked Louis, smiling sincerely.
"Don’t thank , Ms. Parker. You deserve this job." Louis replied, smiling so sweetly.
Calvin grumbled internally and couldn’t help but pity himself for being a third wheel whose presence is currently being ignored.
"I hope I get selected." Brina said.
"Let’s hope for the best, Ms. Parker. It will be my honor to work with you." Louis told, making Calvin cough.
However, he controlled it and looked at Louis.
Seriously!?
He arranged this interview for this woman here and is acting as if he has nothing to do with it!!
"You are flattering , you know that, right?" Brina laughed and couldn’t help but get surprised again.
How many days has it been since she laughed like this, excluding the day before yesterday, when she was not sober?
What exactly is this man doing to her?
She isn’t ready to have another heart break...
I hope it is working." Louis joked. "Honestly, I an what I said now" he smiled.
Only he knows how much he wants Brina to be around him.
It makes him very happy and peaceful.
And, he couldn’t help but wait for many more monts like these...
Later, after chatting for a while and finishing their coffee, Brina bid her farewell and returned back to the waiting hall.
Results will be out anyti soon...
"Where have you been, Brina?" Hailey, her new acquaintance, asked slightly worried.
"Went to fetch a coffee. Your interview? How did it go?" Brina asked.
"It’s fine. Charlotte is tough to impress and it seems like she holds the power among all the panel." Hailey shared her thoughts.
Luke who just ca out from the interview room, wiped away his imaginary sweat and sat beside Brina.
"Yeah, Charlotte is really damn tough, girls." he comnted, "She almost made sweat with all those complex, hypothetical questions" he sighed.
Listening to her new friends, Brina couldn’t help but frowned.
Charlotte was very nice and easy going with her during the interview. But why are these both feeling the other way?
"She was fine with ." Brina muttered.
"You might get selected, then!" he responded.
"Man! I want this job so badly. My family’s situation depends on whether I get this job or not. All of them are counting on ." Luke told, as worry marred his face.
It is obvious that he is trying so hard to make both ends et and by seeing him, both Hailey and Brina felt sad for him.
Getting a job these days has really beco very difficult.
"You will get selected. You did your best." Brina told, patting his shoulder awkwardly.
"I have high hopes for you, Luke," Hailey cheered him.
anwhile...
On the top floor, Louis and Calvin are looking at the CCTV screens.
"So, should I ask Charlotte to select those two also?" Calvin asked Louis who is exceptionally happy today.
He is in high spirits of his happiness, even humming so random songs.
"Yep." Louis answered shortly, as his eyes lingered on the file while his fingers continually tapped on the table making so lodious rhythm.
"Aren’t you worried or insecure that Luke might get your girl? You only told that she likes common and simple people with ordinary family background." Calvin asked.
"Luke actually did well in the interview. He has innate managent skills and he will be a good choice for the company." Charlotte, who just got out of the elevator, answered her twin brother.
"We can’t disqualify him just because he is being close with Brina." she added, looking at Louis, waiting for him to answer.
He is possessive by nature and she really couldn’t even predict what his answer might be.
Thinking for a short while, Louis looked at his friends who were waiting for his answer.
"Charlotte is right. We must be professional while selecting employees, moreover, who are we to decide what Brina wants? It’s her life and we must respect her feelings." Louis concluded.
"Aren’t you afraid she might get snatched away by him?" Calvin asked.
"I am sure she won’t. Our feelings are mutual and I have the audacity to face a little competition. Moreover, I think we are destined to be with each other." Louis chuckled.
But, are they really destined?
What are the odds?
Their relationship started with a lie!
