Chapter 45 - Trip (2/2)

He sounded brash but genuine concern was etched in his tone.

Meredith stiffened when she heard him, she looked up at him and nodded.

”Alright sir.”

”Hope you have documents for travelling?” He questioned.

Huh? Why was he suddenly asking her that question?

”Yes, I do.”

Atlas nodded, ”Good, you can close early today after you are done making the changes in the contract. We are travelling out of the country tomorrow.”

Meredith widened her eyes; this would be her first time travelling since she started working for him.

”Where are we going sir?”

”The Maldives”

Her eyes lit up in excitement. She has always wanted to visit the place. She had read about how romantic the place was in her books.

”A business associate of mine has invited me to attend a charity gala there and you would be going with me.”

He muttered and leaned back in his chair staring at her.

”How many days?” Meredith inquired her voice thick with excitement.

”Three days.”

Meredith nodded. Suddenly her smile morphed into a frown. She didn't have the clothes to wear to attend a gala and Sofia wasn't back yet. Even though she had received her salary two days ago, she didn't trust her judgement in fashion to select a dress by herself.

Also, the bad tension between them scared her. Was he going to be cold to her throughout the trip? If that happens, she doesn't think she would survive during the trip.

”What is wrong?”

Meredith blushed and shook her head, ”Nothing Sir. Is there anything else you want me to do?”

”No.”

”Okay, I will take my leave then.”

Meredith went to back to desk. She continued typing but she suddenly paused. Her brows furrowed into a frown and her heart stuttered in her chest.

Wait…..so she was travelling to a romantic island alone with her boss for three days? Her stomach flipped; she didn't know if it was out of fear or anticipation.
