"Here," Patrck handed Olivia the takeout he had bought for her... "Thank you... what took you so long I almost called, " She said. He sat down and sighed deeply... his mind was beyond conflicted... "Someone came to visit me, so I didn't realise my lunch break was over," He said to Olivia, and it immediately piqued her interest... Someone? no one ever came to visit Patrick... did he perhaps have a girlfriend? her face cheeks immediately became red with jealousy... She glanced at Patrick and took a bite out of her sandwich.... did he really have a girlfriend... she glanced at her purse, where she had two tickets to the movies on Saturday... it had taken her more than a year to summon the courage to ask him out, but now... he might have a girlfriend... she turned to look and his mind seemed to be far away... What if he didn't like her back? She felt her courage immediately diminish... And she pouted.... she was about to ask him who it was that came to look for him when Patrick stood up... she immediately closed her mouth.. "I should check on him," he said and walked off... "Have you really found someone... I hope not, " She muttered and picked up her purse... She opened it and took out the movie tickets... Would she really have to go alone again... What if she confessed about her feelings and he rejected her... she placed the tickets back into her purse and shifted it away... A smile appeared on her face when she took another bite out of her sandwich... He remembered to get takeout for her when she didn't even ask him too, that meant he thought about her... could this be a sigh... Maybe she should ask him and try her luck when he came back... Patrick knocked slightly on Alex door before pushing it open... Alex had a file in his hand, and he dropped it when Patrick walked in... "Sir, Mr. wilson cancelled his stay at the hotel, I don't think he would be coming on this trip... I think something is going on like you said, " He informed Alex... Alex had his hunch, too... but he had no idea who it was... it could be anyone..... "Can you find the documents of HQ for the last two years... please bring it to me?" Alex instructed Patrick and Patrick left to do so... Olivia saw Patrick come out of Alex office and cleared her throat. It was finally time for her to ask him out on a date, but he bit her to it before she could talk... "Could you help me find the documents of HQ from last two years?" He said, and Olivia stood up... "HQ, last two years." She came out of the secretary's office, and Patrick followed behind her... They stopped when they got to a room, and Olivia punched in the key code to the door... "I think I left it here... you can search over their while I search over here, " she said, and they both sprang into action... The room had up to five big shelves that held important documents to the company that couldn't be lost... The rest were kept at Alex house... "Have you found any yet?" He asked, and Olivia shook her head. "Not yet, it has to be around here somewhere I think at the top of the shelf," She said and tried to reach her hand to the top, but she wasn't tall enough.... Patrick stopped what he was doing and turned to look at her... A smile appeared on his face when he saw her struggling to take the file at the top of the shelf, and he walked over to her... She immediately gasped when he stood behind her and reached out to take the file... Her heart started to race in her chest, and she held her breath... too close! she screamed internally... "This must be it," Patrick said, and she turned to look up at him... her cheeks were completely flushed already... "You should have asked me to help you," He said in a low voice ... Olivia fisted her hand beside and swallowed.... oh, this was bad! Her feelings for him seemed to increase at that moment... and the room became silent... Patrick just continued to stare at her, and her stomach did the thing... she opened her mouth to say something, but he immediately took a step away from her hand, cleared his throat... "I should take this to Mr Graham" He said and walked out of the room, leaving Olivia completely flushed...she was finally able to breath well again after he left the room and her hand travelled to her flushed cheeks.... "He is so freaking handsome!" She muttered under Her breath... Patrick walked out of the room, his heart racing like crazy in his chest... why was his heart racing because of Olivia... Why didn't he notice how beautiful she was... He gave him head a little shake and tried to push such thoughts to the back of his head... "She is a coworker," He muttered as she pushed the door to Alex office open..... "Sir, I found the documents you asked for," Patrick said to Alex and handed the documents in his hands to him... Alex collected it and went through it before sighing deeply... "He must still be mad about what happened two years ago... I didn't know he held a grudge against us... ?" Alex said and Patrick nodded. "Are they still admanat about this" He asked... "Yes, sir... he was supposed to come here tomorrow but he cancelled his trip... I think this is serious. We can have to find a way to convince him... He is our biggest supplier. " Alex ran his hand through his hair and sighed deeply... "We have to go over to him then... Schedule my business trip... we leave on Wednesday, " Alex instructed, and Patrick immediately left to do as he was told...
