Chapter 29 - Messy Burger (2/2)

As I picked up the burger with my two hands, juices started to drip from it. My mouth was instantly filled with saliva and my tummy was aching with hunger. I took my first bites of the burger. The juices and sauces were dripping from my mouth making it super messy.

I felt like I have become a kid again.

” Look at you, you're acting so childish.” My eyes were fixed on the burger. I heard Stella's giggling and suddenly a hand gripped my mouth with a tissue paper. I looked up to see Stella's face which was few inches away from mine. She gently wiped my mouth, her breathing was falling on me. It had a sweet floral scent.

My heart was beating fast. I stayed still on my chair and tried to control my emotional rush. I was worried if Stella hears my heart beating in craziness. I could see her hazel brown eyes clearly. Her long black hair was loose open, frequently coming on her face.

Every thing about her feels so dreamy, the situation itself feels so dreamy to me.

I wanted this moment to stay like this. I wanted to grab her and hold her closer to my body. My wild fantasies were becoming barbaric, running away from my control.

Sadly this moment of happiness didn't lasted long. After wiping my mouth she got up.

” Thanks.” I kept my reply short since I may have told something I don't wanna say. No matter how hard I tried I was smiling and blushing a little. Stella came back holding a plate which had burger for her. She took a big bite and all the sauces were dripping from her mouth. When our eyes met, we laughed out hard seeing each other. I took another bite which made my face messy again.

” Hey, you okay?” She stopped her laughter and asked me bluntly.

” Yeah, why did you asked?” I replied her back while trying to catch my breath after all this laughing.

” Nothing, it's just you kinda seemed a little distracted these days. You would talk less and eat as fast as possible. I mean I'm not trying to get into your life but if there's any problem you can say it to me.” Her eyes looked serious and I can tell how much she was worried by her voice. She was a sincere person from the beginning. In spirit of her simple and straight forward nature she will notice everything.

” You don't have to worry about it. If I ever have any problem I'll consult with you.” Even though I wanted to express my gratitude for her the time seemed to betray me. After all the dinner was over and I'm not going to keep her up for discussing how noble she is. She has to go office and so do I.

I looked at her face which seemed unsatisfied you mr answer. It makes me feel guilty for lying to her.

” Well, actually there's a problem in the company which I'm trying to short out.” As she heard me, her face lit up. I did had some problems with the new project so why not discuss it with her after all she also works in this field.

” What's the matter?”

” We are going to launch a new product but at the same time one of our product is performing bad since other companies are also trying to meet up with the customers expectations.”

” How's the customer reviews on the product?” She asked me and she sounded serious.

” It's average.”

” You can do one thing since you're launching new product you can give the old product as a free gift. Mostly people likes to try new things which are trendy so, when people will be buying the new product they'll have the old one also. Once they get it they'll use it and later came to know it's benefits.

On the other hand people will be eager to buy it since it has an extra gift.”
