23 chapter 23 I LIKE YOU!

Boss what do you think of him? Ken asked all this while he had been quietly observing the two exchange pleasantries they looked like two people who just stepped off a Victorian painting of a king and queen their combined aura was powerful it was evident that that man was not ordinary but what do I know?

Seriously for now I think he was being friendly, I didn't sense any danger from him at all, all I want to do now is enjoy this hot crab stew and rice she motioned for the standby waiter to pour their tea. Ayanna said then concentrated on her launch.

Qin Mo was finding it hard explaining to their friend Karti that he can't influence the mind of theirother friend Adeboye in seeing her as more than a friend, you can tell him how you feel yourself as you can see he is all ready getting enamored by the beauty down stairs if you don't act fast he will be gone. Qin Mo advised. Karti was pouting and staring daggers at Ayanna who was not even aware of her.

Immediately Ade Ade joined them Qin Mo motions for their food to be served. He can't be caught as a mediator between his two friends not that he did not see that Karti liked Ade Ade a lot she was beautiful too but Maybe because of the time all of them had spent together in the university they see her more like a bossom friend than a love interest.

Pushing the taught out of his mind he motioned for them to eat.

Ceo Shen Yi was left alone in the conference room with Director Ijey, he was so nervous and the woman was not even looking at him, so he didn't know where to start from at all he reallyjust wanted to have a conversation with her without any of this tension, what is wrong with him he could face stone faced and rugged business men of all ages and from all walks of life but can't face a beautiful woman? what the h.**ll scratching his head he stood up fromhis chair at the conference desk and walked round to where the sofa was and sat down. Miss Ijey could you join me here please? he said.

Ijey was confused, what is really going on here this man was driving her crazy his scent was in her nostril when he passed by her to go sit down, she like the way he smelled she wish she could relax, she that can chat with anyone why not this particular man? he was so cute its a given just that he was so cold, asking her to come sit with him at the sofa Ijey stood up then proceeded to go seat at the extreme end of the settee.

Ceo Shen Yi cleared his throat then decided to bloat out his taught and feelings straight like some business deal.

Miss Ijey I really like you he started and Ijey jerked her head up to look at him straight was he joking with her now? but all she could see was her Ceo looking like a high school boy on his first date.

Continuing he said I think about you, and now you have even started hunting my dreams before I go crazy I decided to share my feelings with you even when I know you don't like me,I know you had a better rapport with my father he was the one that hired and nurtured you but you don't even like speaking with me it have even gotten to the extent that you now run away once you see me. Ceo Shen wanted to release it all least he looses his courage I really like you a lot can you relate with me more .....he trailed off

To say that Miss Ijey was in shock was putting it mildly, who would have taught, what she never knew was he even noticed her or does he want to just play around with her? Sir can you ...tell me what you mean by relate more?? Ijey asked

First of all I would like for you to just call me Shen when we are together please, and what am saying is I would like to know you better, if you are not opposed to it can we go out for dinner today? we talk over dinner? Ceo Shen Yi asked.

I have something important to do this evening why not tomorrow evening no, tomorrow too I will be occupied OK can we keep this dinner date for Thursday night then? looking up she met Ceo Shen's intense gaze.

Thursday is cool but can I get to speak to you before bed time? he asked.

Yes sir, you can call. she replied.

He then stood up and pulled her up then as if he was electrocuted he dropped her hands, I will call you later tonight Ijey.

Ijey only smiled and nodded her head as he led her out the conference room and walked her to her office before he turned and returned to his office. in all these Ijey was too dazed it hasn't all sunk in yet.
