I review the report that we made and print it out for Lucas. He said he wanted the full report first thing tomorrow but thanks to 'Coffee guy' I finished it by this evening. I'll hand it to Lucas before I leave.

I knock on his door.

"Come in." He answers on the first knock.

"Mr. Anderson I finished your report." I hand him the papers.

He looks surprised that I finished so early. "Already?" He must've thought I could not finish it in time. Well guess what Lucas, I'm quite talented when I put my mind to it. And if I have some help. But still I did most of the work so that is what matters.

"Yes. I had some help though." I tell him.

"From who?" He asks me.

"Uh I don't know his name. But he works here." I really should find out his name soon. Lucas might know his name since he's his employee. "Oh! You know the guy that spilled coffee on me. Do you know his name?"

"I have more than a hundred employees Miss Grayson. Do you think I remember all of their names?" He scowls.

"Yeah sorry." I apologise again for what seems like the hundredth time already since I worked here. I really should stop apologizing. Its starting to bug even me.

"Stop apologizing. Its annoying." He looks at me.

Gee you don't have to be so mean about it. I mentally roll my eyes

"Okay. Sorry. No I mean uhm yeah I should just go." I rush out of his room.

I don't know why I keep apologizing. Maybe its become a habit from all the times I got into trouble at home. I gather my phone and purse and start to leave.

"Amelia!" I hear a voice calling my name. I turn around to see 'Coffee guy' waving at me.

"Oh hey! I didn't see you." I wait for him.

"You sure you weren't trying to run away from our date?" He narrows his eyes playfully.

"Date?" What is he talking about? Oh shit! That date.

"Don't tell me you've forgotten already?" He raises his eyebrows.

"Nah I was just messing with you." I try to laugh. I hope my laugh doesn't sound as fake as it feels.

"You almost gave me a heart attack." He puts his hand over his heart.

I laugh at his childishness. He makes me want to pinch his cheeks. But that's probably rude when you don't even know the person's name.

"Shall we?" He says and heads to the elevator. I follow him and step inside the elevator.

Just as the elevators door start to close, I see a man running towards us. Is that Lucas? What the hell is he doing?

"Stop!" He shouts.

I hold the elevator open for him. He's panting when he reaches the elevator.

"Miss Grayson I was supposed to take you home, remember?" He looks at Coffee guy, then at me.

What the hell is he talking about?

"What?" I ask him dumbfounded.

"You asked me to take you home since you don't have a car remember? Are you already leaving?" He sounds suspicious. I never asked him to take me home. What is he playing at?

"Uhh I was gonna have dinner with coffee guy-I mean him." I point to 'coffee guy' standing beside me looking shocked, mirroring my expression.

"You can have dinner next time. Come on I'm almost done with work." He takes my hand in his and pulls me out of the elevator. He leads me towards his office never letting go of my hand. The touch of his hand makes electricity jolts through my veins.

"Uhh I'm sorry!" I apologise to coffee guy who's still standing at the elevator looking confused as hell.

When we reach Lucas's office, he finally lets go of my hand.

"What the hell was that?" I rub my hands that's still tingling from his touch.

"I wanted to take you home." He answers nonchalantly.

"I never asked you to take me home!" I look at him confused. "Why would you do that?"

"I told you I just wanted to get you home safely. Its a bad world out there, especially at night." His eyes are avoiding me, I can tell. He's acting weird.

"But still I had plans." I cross my arms across my chest. "You didn't have to drag me out of there."

"What plans?" He asks with a scowl on his face. "You mean your date with that guy?"

Oh so that's what this is about.

"How did you know about that?" I ask him curiously.

"I heard you two talking. These walls are not sound proof you know."

"You were eavesdropping? Why?" I can't believe him. "And why is me going out with a friend have anything to do with you?"

He looks down as if not wanting to answer my question. "I just - I don't want anyone dating among the employees." He finally says after a long pause.

He just asked me out yesterday. How can he say that now? So its okay for the boss to date the employees but not for employees to date each other. Not that I wanted to date coffee guy or Lucas for the record. That does not even make sense.

"But you.." I was about to remind him about yesterday when he puts his hand on my waist and pushes me towards the door.

"Let's go. We're getting late." He says.

"Late for what?"

"You'll see." He says with a smirk.

We enter his car and drive away. Lucas seems to be in a better mood than he was at the office. Just this morning he was insulting me saying that I was annoying, and then he rudely pulled me out of the elevator. Even if that gesture made my heart go wild, that was still rude. And now he's looking happy. I really can't keep up with his emotions.

"Amelia?"

His voice breaks me from my thoughts.

"What are you thinking about?" He nudges me.

"Nothing."

"Are you mad at me?" He has the audacity to ask me that.

"No."

"You sound mad. Why are you so upset?" I can't believe him.

"Oh I don't know. Maybe because I was told that I was annoying more than once today and as I was going out with a friend I was told I can't go. So you know what I'm not mad, I'm just peachy!" I snap.

"Would you calm down? Its not a big deal. I had plans for us anyway." He says.

"What plans?" I know I shouldn't give in but curiosity takes over my anger.

"Just wait." I blush when I see him smiling at me.Why is he so cute when he smile?

I can feel my anger slowly going away. Damn it I was supposed to stay mad at him.

I look away since I don't want him to see me blush. I look out the window as we drive through a beautiful suburban neighbourhood. The roads are lined with big houses on either side. We pull into a driveway with a big lawn filled with flowers.

"Where are we?" I ask Lucas. This is not his apartment nor is this a restaurant. I thought he was going to take me to dinner.

I step out of the car and take in the surrounding. The house looks beautiful with white walls and big glass doors.

"Are you gonna keep staring all night?" Lucas chuckles as he stands behind me.

I narrow my eyes at him. "I'm still mad okay." I cross my arms. "Tell me why you did that."

He mutters something under his breath.

"Fine. If you're not gonna tell me then I'm leaving." I start to walk away from him.

He grabs my hand for the second time tonight and turns me around to face him. He lets out a deep breath. "Its because I didn't want you to go out with him." He says so low that I almost didn't hear him.
