CHAPTER 26

While I was reading, someone dropped a cake in front of me. "I didn't order anything. I just have a coffee." I said to the waiter.
"Sir ordered it for you."
"Who Sir?" I wonder.
"Uhm, the one sitting in front of you earlier. Before he left, he ordered a cake for you." Explain from the waiter and politely leave in front of me. I didn't even realize that Randall had left because of my focus on what I was reading.
 
I just ate the cake he ordered and then left and brought the borrowed book. It's already afternoon and maybe Dad is looking for me. I know that he will call me to reprimand again for leaving without permission.
Thank God, no one greeted my return only my secretary. When I arrived at my office, I decided to arrange my stuff and prepare for tomorrow. My secretary remind me, that we will visit some sites and areas that are connected to our business. 
I don't know who I'll be with, but hopefully, I'll be comfortable with them. I'll just think, they're with me whenever I visit some exhibit.
I left our company, with a blank expression. This is not my passion. I said in my mind while on my way home. When I arrived we had dinner, 
I was just quiet but talking when Mommy asked. Dad is still at work. I straight ahead to my room, after dinner. I checked my email, and there's a lot in my inbox. But, I disregard those unimportant and focus my attention on the emails sent by my secretary.
I read those and surprisingly, we are going to some site with our business partners. No other than but with Reigan. I smiled and immediately prepared for tomorrow.
"Ms. Moriya we're here." My secretary said when we went down to a site. It is a building that needs to develop and it is old and needs to improve.
I immediately covered my mouth because of the wind and dust spread all over the place. I looked at my companions, and they didn't seem to have a pack of dirt.
They are all wearing jeans and a simple t-shirt and while I, wearing a mini-skirt and crop top and I took the time to curl my hair.
We walked on that grassy pavement and while walking, my secretary kept explaining. Until I can feel the sunshine on my skin. Unfortunately, we didn't have an umbrella. I wanted to go home now, but that also changed when we got to a tent where the person I wanted was waiting.
I was a little surprised to see that they were all wearing jeans and shirts. I want to swallow by the earth out of shame. I just adjusted my posture when I heard the greetings of those with me.
 "Oh, is this Mr. Terenio representative?"Asked an engineer, who approached me slightly and held out his hand.
"Hi, I'm Engineer. Santos. Would you like to come with my team?" He asked after he introduced himself.
Reigan did a small cough and stood between us. I haven't even shaken hands with that engineer because of him.
"I'm sorry, Engineer. Santos but she will come to my team. I already promised her dad that I will take care of her." He said it clearly.
My mouth fell open and I immediately closed it when he turned to look at me.
 "Hi." He said. I could not answer immediately when my secretary called me. I immediately turned my back on him and went to them. They are wearing personal protective equipment. I immediately put on a hard hat and gloves and while I was doing that. Someone dropped boots in front of me.
I looked up and my eyes found Reigan.
"Why do you wear heels? And your outfit? Do you think it is appropriate here?" I was just silent as I felt his anger.
I don't know why, but I can't even look at his face right now. I'm excited to see him but not until I remember what happened at the bar. It's been just a day, so do I think he already forgot it? 
"As if someone informed me that this place is horrible," I answered.
I immediately took off my heels and put on the boots. He just watched me while doing that.
 
"You will join me, also I know you studied fine arts right? You must give any suggestions for the renovation of this building. We will have a tour inside. The building is too old and prone to any accident, and it will be fine for me if I'm with your side. " He said seriously. I just nodded and did nothing but go along.
We have already started touring and prioritizing the garden area of the place. There are only a few plants and it looks like they should be planted and disposed of.
 
"We should plant a lot of flowers here, but before we do that we need to wait for what color of the building," I said, even though I'm not sure what I am talking about.
"To complement the colors." He answered and I think he got the point. I looked at the others with us and wrote down what I said. We also quickly entered the building, due to the heat of the sun outside. Slow is every move we make. We also met the engineers who were also looking inside.
 "This is going to renovation and this is going to be a headquarters." He said, while kept looking in the place.
"What do you think?" He asked.
 I looked around and honestly, I wasn’t interested. I have nothing to suggest and I don't know if I can help.
 "I can barely help in the portrait of this but not in making this, "I replied shyly.
He looked at me and he looked different. He became even more serious.
"Why?"
"Huh?" I asked, even though I knew the answer.
"You are not into this right?"He says.
I nodded slowly and finally I was able to look at him as well.
"You can just look here. I won't ask anything about your suggestion. I'll let you watch us and be comfortable. I am just going to ask your dad to place you in another team that you are familiar with and closer to your course. "
"Uhm, no. Don't tell him, you don't have to. I can help here. Not today, it's my first time so I haven't adjusted much yet. I will give my best to be comfortable here." I reason.
I don't want Dad to know this. As much as possible I am trying to prove to him, that I can do it. Maybe that will give me a chance to do what I want.
 "Are you sure?"
 "Yes," I answer gently.
 After we tour the area and listen to different engineers. We changed our clothes and decided to go to the restaurant to have lunch. Reigan is at another table with the engineers and I am with my staff. From time to time he looks up at our table. I didn't bother to look back and just eat. And while we were there, I decided to check my Social media and I saw a lot of posts from Charrie. She is living the life she wants. I send it a heart and suddenly I feel envy.
