She promised to come see her when she came back from London, but she had not. They hadn't even talked in a while. Once she goes back to Nicklaus' mansion, she would go to her.
…
''The developers have completed the last stage of the application; and this is it, the 'Orica!' ''
The Japanese exclaimed; his English with a Japanese accent as he pointed to the large screen where the projection was.
''The app was designed to create a close human connection while communicating with humans. Orica learns about you through asking questions already programmed into the system and learns to be a friend suiting your description. It learns what you want and don't want to talk about, the things you value, your dreams, and music tastes… ''
'What does she mean by him getting jealous? Does it mean that she sees him to be more than a friend?'
Nicklaus thoughts were occupied by a totally different issue.
As the Japanese rapped on, his mind drifted over to the event of the previous night. He could remember that something touched him and when that thing left, he woke up. What was it?
He wondered, but he could not think of a valid answer to his question.
''…we have the application software here, in case you want to try it. ''
The man concluded and Nicklaus blinked out from his daze; turning to his side, he tapped on the telephone by the side and after sometime he spoke;
''Tell the IT Director to come see me. '' he spoke and dropped the telephone. After a while, the door to the board room creaked open and a man in his forties stepped in.
''Boss, you sent for me? ''
''Send the application to him; I want you to use this app and get a few members of your department to use it too, then send me a constructive review. It's nice doing business with you, Mr. Minato. ''
Nicklaus stood up and shook the man, then left the board room. He was away for just a few minutes, but he was already longing to see her again. Pushing open his office door, he walked in, his eyes falling on her.
Tiana's eyes looked up, and they drowned in his deep gaze. A smile slanted her lips, and she stood up from her chair;
''How was the meeting? ''
She asked, and Nicklaus nodded; ''It went well, let's go have lunch/'' He said as he walked to her, holding her hand.
Tiana nodded with a small smile;
''get your things; we'll go home from there. '' He said, and she took her bag from the table; before they left the office, his hands holding to hers.

…
''What are you doing here? ''
Mia asked when she saw who was standing beside the Lamborghini; her face scrunching up.
A sweet smile was on his cheeks as he stared at her;
''What baby, you're not happy to see me? ''
Alex asked as she approached him;
''No, I'm happy, just that you didn't tell me you were coming. '' She replied, smiling at him as he pulled her into a bone-crushing hug;
''I've missed you, you didn't pick my calls yesterday, I just wanted to be sure you were okay. ''
Mia rolled her eyes as she remembered that she had seen his calls but had intentionally ignored it. Alex was a good guy, handsome and s.e.xy, a model and an actor too. Any woman would want him but sadly her heart belonged to another person.
He had chased her for a long while, even though she didn't like him that much, she agreed since the media were already rumoring that she was dating him, and it increased her fame because he was very popular.
''I was sleeping at that time and this morning I forgot to call back. Are you angry with me now? ''
Mia asked, as she made puppy dog eyes at him.
Alex felt his heart skip a bit; even though he wasn't happy that she didn't pick his calls, with her staring at him like that, all the anger vanished away, not even leaving a single trace.
''No, how can I be angry with you? ''
Alex replied, pecking her lips.
''I thought as much. Let's go in, come and greet grandpa and grandma. ''
A smile washed her features as she and held his hand and they walked into the house.
''Your stubble is growing again. '' Mia said as she noticed his beards sprouting,
''yeah, it grows too fast; I'm thinking on letting it grow out, what do you think? ''
He asked, anxiously waiting for her reply.
''Hmm, it'll make you more handsome, but it will itch me when I want to kiss you. '' She replied giggling. Her smile faded when the front door opened and two people walked out;
''Mia, you didn't tell us your boyfriend was coming by? ''
Michelle smiled when she saw Alex;
''Good morning, I came to see her since she wasn't picking my calls. ''
Alex pulled Mia closer to him, pecking her forehead.
''Awn, such love, hope you two plan on getting married soon? '' Michelle asked jokingly and Alex grinned;
''If only she would agree to my proposal. ''
''Alex, stop! ''
Mia nudged, as a blush crept up her cheeks. Her eyes glanced at Douglas, whose face bore no expression, and she quickly looked away.
''don't mind me Alex, we'll be stepping out for a while, hope you have some fun together. ''
Michelle suggested.
''Be a good girl, Mia. '' Douglas spoke, patting her hair before walking towards the garage with Michelle.
Mia stood on the spot for a few seconds before she turned to Alex with a smile;
''Let's go in. ''
…
Diana sat in the karaoke room, her eyes bleak and her head muddled as she stared at the picture on her phone; Ed Sheeran's 'Happier', playing in the background.
She didn't want to cry anymore, but she couldn't stop the tears from falling as she stared at the picture.
There was a man standing with a beautiful lady, and their faces were filled with smiles; she swiped to another photo, and her eyes blurred.
The man had his hands around her waist and kissed her lips; the picture was so perfect, they looked so happy, she should be happy too, but she couldn't bring herself to feel happy for them.
Not able to take the pain anymore, she threw her phone across the room, holding her mouth with her both hands, trying to hold in her screams but it refused to stay still and in the next second, she was wailing like a baby.
