Chương 19: Pauline's crush

Skylar was working on his laptop when his phone beeped. He picked up his phone only to see Diana's message.

"What are you doing Skylar?" the message read.

"How dare she text me after she blushed for another man " Skylar scoffed. Diana's blushing face was still fresh in his mind and he doesn't know why it affects him the way it did. It made him uneasy.

"What is it?" He texted.

Diana was baffled by the curt reply, she thought they were trying to make things work .

"Have you forgotten our deal, c'mon give me a chance " Diana texted.

Skylar actually did not forget the ninety days deal, but he still did not know the limit to whatever chance she's asking for.

" What do you want?"Skylar texted

And the text went like this;

Skylar: what do you want to talk about?

Diana: tell me more about you.

Skylar: things like what ?.

Diana: your family. How many siblings do you have?

Skylar: I don't want to talk about that. You should go to sleep.

Diana: why? It's too early.

*Three minutes later*.

Diana: are you still there?

Diana: Skylar?

Skylar: Go to sleep, I'm busy!

Diana: okay. Goodnight.

*Five minutes later*.

Diana kept looking at her phone waiting for Skylar's"good night" but it never came.

'The least he could do was type good night, was it that hard?' Diana thought. "At least we communicated a little. I'm making progress"

...

*Two weeks later*

Diana has gotten used to being a secretary and is doing absolutely well at her job. Things between her and Skylar were progressing slowly. After much pestering from her side, she now knows that he's favourite color is black, his favourite food is pasta, he lived most of his life in Spain, he doesn't want to talk about his family...that's all for now. Baby steps, she'll make sure she gets there. Even though he's still his emotionless self, he's not so cold towards her like before.

Today was the day the companies that will be partnering on the island project the Fisher company was working on, will be announced.

It was announced earlier than it was supposed to be because Skylar had spent sleepless nights reviewing their proposal. He couldn't sleep, why not get some work done?.

The Garcia's sat in their living room while waiting for the announcement to begin. That was how big the project was, it was even aired on national TV.

Mr Sylvester trusted the proposal the Q and C staffs drafted but he still got sweaty palms out of nervousness.

" The time we have all been waiting for has arrived. A project that will benefit the whole country, a project we have all been looking forward too, a project where top companies will collaborate to lift the country's tourism to a whole different level. From reports, it has garnered over seventy- nine billion US dollars all over the world from investments. You can tell how big a project it is by now. With all this being said, Mr Clark. " the announcer reported.

Clark appeared on the screen immediately the announcer called for him.

"Without wasting much of your time, I'll announce the companies that have proved to be capable of delivering adequate results. But before I continue, I would like to let all companies that were not chosen know that your proposal were good as well but we had to pick the best of the best, we deeply appreciate you as well." Clark said.

" The companies that were chosen are as follows;

The Finesse interior and exterior Company

The Quebecoise architecture company

The High and low construction company

The Garcia limited cooperation

The Darwin natural beddings.

This are the major companies that'll be involved in the biggest project of the Fisher cooperation to ever exist. Details will be sent to the above mentioned companies as construction will proceed next week." And with this announcer appeared back in the screen. " The whole country is looking forward to..."

Mr Sylvester turned off the TV as he turned to look at his wife and hugged her happily. "We got picked darling, we got picked!" Mr Sylvester said, his smile reaching his ears.

Diana already knew the companies that were going to get picked so she was not surprised by the announcement. She went to her room to call the twins, leaving her father in his bubble of happiness . There was sure going to be a feast tonight.

"Did you see the news?" Diana asked through the phone.

" You already knew, didn't you? I mean you work in the company" Paula said in a chirpy voice.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, it was a top secret in the company"

" It's no problem. It doesn't change the fact that we still got the deal" Pauline said. Their dad was the owner of Finesse interior and exterior design company, and they were both the head of their departments. Pauline was the head the interior team, while Paula was the head of the exterior team. They both worked hard to secure the deal and they were happy with the results.

Pauline never thought she'll see Clark again, he didn't call even after she handed him her card. She was expecting his call, at least to let her know how his hand was doing, but well...it's alright.

Seeing him on television... He looked stunning. His crisp suit, his voice, the lighting that illuminated his features, everything was captivating. It seems Diana has infected her with the crush syndrome. Seeing him again just made her realize that she had a huge crush on Clark and it'll get worse because they'll be working together on the project, which means she'll see him more often. This is not happening, or is it?.

Diana and the twins discussed a few more things before ending the call. She also hinted them on how there was going to be a business trip coming soon . All five companies will be going to the construction site before construction begins. This information made Pauline to freeze on the other side of the line. It's seems the inevitable meeting with Clark will happen soon. She was nervous.
