Hottie Series 1 Ricko Gardenan

*EMILY*

"Bye Emily" my colleague said as she left, leaving me alone in the laboratory.

"Take care" I replied.

"I have to finish this up, today's work should be finished today as tomorrow is a new day" I encouraged myself, fully knowing that I'm tired and wish to go home.

(Phone Rings) i picked up my phone and it was Ethan, my boyfriend, I answered it.

"Hey babe" I said to him

"Hi baby, are you free. I have something urgent to tell you" he said with a strict tone.

"Uhh,I'm kind of busy right now. How about in 30 minutes" I asked.

" it's urgent and can't be postponed" he said

I felt a lot of command in his tone, but didn't think much of it since he has always been like that.

I hurriedly cleared the laboratory as I left for the address. I took a cab and in no time I was standing before a huge and grand hotel, a top notch.

I headed in as I located his table

"Hi babe" I said wearing a wide smile

"Hey, have a seat" he said

"What would you like to have" he added

"Uhm....steak would be great" I replied.

Ethan called for a waiter and placed an order.

"So what's the urgent case you talked about" I asked curiously and worriedly

" don't be in a hurry, we shall talk over the meal" he replied giving me a warm smile.

"You should have told me beforehand so I can dress properly" I said in a sad tone.

"You don't have to worry about others opinion, focus on me alone" he said to me

I was already blushing to the extent my cheeks were all red making it obvious that I'm madly in love with him

"Sorry...I would like to use the restroom" I said as I stood up heading to the restroom.

Standing against the mirror in the restroom looking directly at it. I could see an elegant young lady even though she wasn't dressed properly for a date.

"Stop thinking negatively Emily, your man loves you the way you are and no one can say otherwise" I said to myself.

After using the restroom, I attempted leaving when I hit my hand against a basin which made me loose grip on my bag.

Just then my bag fell hard on the floor and opened letting out my stuffs. I bent down to pack them back into the bag when I noticed something unusual.

A sample of my new chemical which is yet to be tested. "How is this in my bag" I asked myself.

Then a memory flashed back to me. The chemical was meant to be given to my superior for testing and authentication in order to acknowledge my product.

I probably dropped it in my bag and forgot it there in a hurry to meet Ethan.

I packed them back and left for the my seat at the table.

"I'm back" I said as I sat down

"Welcome" he said

"Here you go ma'am" the waiter came immediately I returned.

"Thanks" I said as I dug in.

"Aren't you gonna have anything" I asked him

"No, I'm fine" he said with a strange expression on his face.

"So let's go into the matter of the day" I said while cutting my steak with the cutleries
