Adreano's POV :

"Mr. Stryker, Miss Selena is on the line. She wants to talk to you." Sophia said.

"Okay, transfer the call. "

"Okay sir." her voice was quick.

"Hey Selene. "

"Come down, I am waiting for you." I heard the car honking.

"I am at work. What if I meet you in the evening. Will that be okay?"

"Can't bunk?"

"Sorry, office is far more strict than the school."

"Oh come on, You are the boss!"

"Yes, and I am very particular and strict regarding work."

"Don't need to act like a drama girl! Fine meet you in the evening. What time?"

"Maybe five."

"Okay, bye." She hunged up the call.

It was five in the evening and I left the office. As I reached for my car I saw Serene's car already staring at mine. I went near her car and bent for the open window. I ducked my face in. She moved her head back quickly.

"What are you doing Popcorn?" she chuckled.

My face turned in disgust, "Still remember calling me that?"

"Ady! How can I forget such a beautiful pet name!" she laughed.

I stood straight and walked back to my car. As I opened the door I heard her calling, "I thought we are going together." I didn't responded. I was acting as if I am angry.

The employees who were heading to their home are looking at us. Some were murmuring and some were looking at us as if their eyeballs will pop out and roll over our cars. I glanced at them once and it was enough for them to move away from us in speed of 200 kmph.

I moved my car towards Serene's. "I am sorry. I won't call you Popcorn again.... Oops!!!" She took out her tongue, pressed between the lips, she is still childish. I couldn't control but laugh. She looked at me in confusion.
"Gotcha!!" I laughed at her. She was looking at me furiously. "You know what I am going home." I was still laughing and she turned her wheels to the road. I should've laughed that bad.

I followed her. She drove fast but not more than me. I catched her speed in no time and drove besides her car. Her car's window was down. "Hey, I am sorry. Don't drive so fast. Cops will take you away and I won't come to bail you!" The window was sliding up and I saw her middle finger waving at me. I chuckled.

Finally after making me roam behind her the whole town, she finally stopped.

She came out of her car, moving her steps towards me. "Stop following me."

"Is it a request or threat?" I smiled.

"Well, I'll let you decide it when all of your four tyres will be punctured." She raised one of her eyebrow and smirked.

"Oh, I see. Serene please make sure not to lose any of you manicured nails while puncturing my car."

"Go to hell!!" she stormed back to her car. I followed her.

"Okay, sorry!"

"Did you said something?" she clapped her pinnacle with her thumb and index finger.

"I am sorry Serene. I was just joking." I said a bit louder. I knew she heard me before but I tried again.

"Why are you just moving your lips, say something. Or is it some matter with my hearing." She shook her ear lobe this time.

"OH! come on!" I was losing patience.

"What? You want to have popcorn?"

Okay, I understood what she wanted. She wanted. "You can call me popcorn." I looked away.

She smiled. "Why will I call you that? I don't have any rights to call you by this name now." she said while looking at her fingernails and blowing it lightly. Drama queen.

"Serene, my best friend, you can call me by whatever name you are comfortable with or should I say you enjoy with." I sighed.

"Popcorn!!! It's the best name. It's irreplaceable. You can't beat me in troubling you. Don't even try!" she laughed.

"Never!" I scoffed. "Let's go."

"Yes, let's go." she sat in my car in the front seat.

"You are going to leave your car here?" I asked.

"Yes, I am out of fuel. So.. " She gave a wide smile.

"Okay. This is what happens when you try to trouble others."

"You started it first. I ended it." She said proudly.

"Yes. Ended well. Out of fuel!" I chuckled.

"Drive!"

"Where you wanna go?" I asked.

"Let me think. Hey! Let's go to the cookie shop we used to go when we were back in school." She said after thinking a while.

By Cookie shop she meant 'The Ripen Flour' I don't know if it's right to go there. The last time I went, I saw her half naked. Iva will freak out if I went. I don't have any problem going to the shop. I am feeling a bit awkward because Iva is not a type of girl who will be okay if she has been seen in a bra my an outsider. I am sure no one would. But I have come across many girls who purposely throw off their bra and sometimes their pants. It happens mostly when I am in clubs during parties. I don't like to dance. I just sit and have my drink while watching others dance.

I remember once when I was interviewing a girl for my personal assistant post. When she entered I was busy reading her resume and as I looked up I was out of words. She was wearing a white shirt with first three buttons open revealing her over large breasts. Her skirt was so short, her pink underwear was clearly visible. She was walking towards the chair to sit when I stopped her in the mid way. I called out the girl who sits on the counter. "Miss. Rose, where do you think I am?"

"In your cabin sir."

"Do you see any poles or bar counters here?"

She scanned the cabin and said, "No sir. I don't."

"Then why are you sending slots and strippers in here?" I threw my fist on the table in front of me.

"I..I am sorry sir." she said looking at the baked girl with barely any clothes on her and then at me in fear.

"Get her out of my eyes now!" I raised my voice.

Then entered a decent girl with proper formal suit and with an impressive resume. That's when Sophie was hired.

"Hello? What are you thinking? Let's go!" She clapped her hands in front of me. Bringing me back from the thoughts.

I drove to the shop. Taylor Swift's song was playing on the radio. Suddenly I felt pain in my ears. It was Serene, singing along with Taylor.

🎵🎵She wears high heels I wear sneakers🎵🎵

"Ouch! I said blocking my left ear with my hands. "Stop insulting Taylor Swift's song!"

"Atleast I sound far better than you popcorn!!"

"You are wrong. You will fall in love with me when you will hear my voice." I winked.

"I hope that day never comes!" She laughed.

"You ain't that lucky though." I smiled.

We reached the shop.

"Oh My God! This shop hasn't changed a bit!" Serene gaped the exterior of the shop in pleasure.

"I can't wait to go in! Come Ady." she grabbed my hand and we entered in.

No one was at the counter. The shop was empty. I looked at my watch, it was showing 6:30 p.m.

"The shop closes at seven Serene. We are late. Let's go."

"Oh no! I wanted to eat cookies so badly." Serene whined.

While we started to leave. We heard a voice, "How may I help you Mam?" I turned around only to find out Iva.

"Is the shop closed?" Serene asked.

"No Mam. Half an hour is remaining for the shop to be closed."

"Thank Goodness! We would like to have Chocolate cookies please!"

I've looked at me and then at Serene. I don't know why but I felt very weird the way she looked at us.
