It was the next day as It was another usual busy day at work. The time was one p.m as It was lunch time, Both Anne and Andrew were meeting eachother and were gonna go out for lunch.
Anne was seen standing outside while holding her purse as She was waiting for Andrew before she saw a car at the parking as Anne had a smile and knew it was Andrew's car. Andrew got out of the car as Anne saw him walking towards her.
Andrew: Hello Anne, Another usual day right?
Anne: Hey Andrew. Yeah your right about that.
Andrew smiled and kissed her hand as Anne had a huge smile on her face as She continued looking at him. She definitely looked happy seeing him.
Anne and Andrew walked inside the restaurant as they took their seat as Andrew was looking for the waiter as He asked for a menu.
Soon, Andrew ordered fried chicken with rice for both of them as Anne and Andrew were talking.
Anne: So how was it like in your office?
Andrew: I was pretty busy, I had to finish the paper work I had to do last night.
Anne: Oh I see.
Andrew: *Shooks his head* Yeah and The amount of calls just hurts my head.
Anne: I honestly can relate.
Andrew: *Chuckles* Have you been getting enough sleep?
Anne: Yes, I have been. What about you?
Andrew: Good. You need that beauty sleep. I'm also been sleeping good.
Anne giggled and smiled as She thanked him. Soon their food arrived as they were eating the rice and chicken while talking to eachother.
Andrew: You know I actually have been thinking about something
Anne: What is it?
Andrew: Well these last weeks I'm been feeling drained out to be honest.
Anne: Oh, Is it from work?
Andrew: Yeah, I also just feel like I don't have enough time to do any of my favourite things or get any free time.
Anne: I'm sorry Andrew. Maybe you should take a break
Andrew: I have been thinking about that actually, I want to take a month off.
Anne: You should Andrew. You look like you really need some rest.
Andrew couldn't help but smile and knew how caring she was.
Andrew: Thank you so much Anne.
Anne: Your a hardworking man, Andrew. You deserve all the rest. You done so much for your business.
Andrew: Thats true and I'm happy that it has rose up in these last two years. *Takes a bite of rice* And I think I need to lay on the couch and watch some TV.
Anne giggled as Andrew laughed a little.
Anne: Atleast more television time.
Andrew: Yeah, I also feel like my friends need a break from work.
Anne was nodding as She was listening to him as They continued talking.
Andrew: What about you, Anne? Are you considering for a break?
Anne: Well as much as I'm tired and everything. I can't do that.
Andrew: *Chewing* Why?
Anne; Because I feel like I still have to work more for my brand.
Andrew: I understand that your a hardworker as well Anne but I think you should also take a break.
Anne: I don't know Andrew. I still have to do more with my business.
Andrew looked at her as He touched her hand as Anne was looking at him.
Andrew: Look Anne, Even you look tired and stressed out. You should rest up as well.
Anne was thinking about it as Andrew was looking at her, Anne really wanted to take a break but she wasn't sure yet.
Anne: I'll think about it. But thank you Andrew.
Andrew: Your welcome Anne.
Anne: *Smiles* Is this why you always ask if I slept good?
Andrew: *Smiles* I want to make sure your taking care of yourself.
Anne: Same here honestly. You should continue taking care of yourself.
Andrew: Same to you.
They finished eating as They continued smiling and talking to eachother as They were relieving some memories as They laughed together.
Anne: So how much of a troublemaker were you as a kid?
Andrew: I spilled flour all over my mom's dress when I was five years old and I got scolded.
He laughed as Anne laughed with him.
Anne: When I was six years old, I broke my mom's phone actually.
Andrew: What? How?
Anne: Because the screen was dirty so I went to the kitchen and was cleaning it with dish soap.
Andrew was shocked as Anne started laughing as Andrew laughed with her as well.
Andrew: Wow and Your mom was probably really angry when she found out.
Anne: Haha Of course she was!
They laughed more as Andrew was looking at her until he noticed something on her eye as He took a tissue and slowly wiped it off while making sure he doesn't mess her makeup.
Anne: What are you doing?
Andrew: There. Sorry, I saw something on your eye. I wanted to clean it off.
Anne: Oh I see. Well thanks, Is there something wrong with my makeup maybe? Haha
Andrew: Nope, You look beautiful and You will still look beautiful without it.
Anne was shocked by what he said as Andrew was smiling at her before Anne gave a smile.
Anne: Aw really?
Andrew: Of course, I'm being honest.
She shooked her head and smiled, Soon Andrew paid the waiter as Both of them left the restaurant as They needed to head back to work, Atleast for Andrew it was going to be his final day before he takes a break.
Andrew: Alright Anne. Take care of yourself.
Anne: You too, Thanks for having lunch with me.
Andrew: No problem at all. It was fun talking to you.
Anne: *Smiles* Also one last thing.
Anne hugged Andrew as Matheson was surprised but smiled as Both of them were sharing a hug together before Anne broke the hug and smiled as Her driver arrived as Andrew was smiling at her and waved at her before Anne got in the car as Andrew was watching the car drive away.
He continued smiling while thinking about Anne and the hug that they shared together.
Fifteen minutes past as Anne was back to her workplace as She was going to find Ashley and Tay. Suddenly Anne saw Ashley laying her head on the table as Anne noticed how tired she was.
Anne knew that her friends were also working non stop. Anne cleared her throat and spoke.
Anne: Hey Ash.
Ashley: *immediately raises her head and smiles at Anne* Hey Anne! Where were you?
Anne: I was having lunch with Andrew actually.
Ashley: *Smiles* Ooooh I see.
Anne: What about you?
Ashley: Just designing and working. I felt a bit tired so I was laying for sometime.
Anne nodded as She was thinking about something, Winters was now thinking if she should really give her friends including herself a break.
Anne: I see. Where is Tay at?
Ashley: I don't know, She was busy with something. She will come up soon.
Anne nodded as Ashley smiled and walked away. Anne was alone in the office as She was thinking about something she turned and saw a mirror as She straighten her outfit as Anne smiled to herself until. .
In the reflection, She thought she saw Andrew kissing her cheek as Anne turned and looked around and didn't see anyone as She knew she was just imagining things as She sighed and smiled a little.
She just continues to fall in love with him.
