Mysterious CEO's Last Surrogate
Chapter Twenty - Two
Danica's heart rate increased. Mixed feelings of excitement, intimidation and fear, smearing over her. However, a warming smile escaped her because he came. She was happy that he obliged her request and said to return the next day. She saw from his back that he wasn't a beast or anything. Even though she hadn't seen his face, she was sure that it wasn't going to be a scary one.
Loney sat thoughtfully in the office. For the first time, he couldn't concentrate on work. He waited in anticipation of what Danica wanted to tell him. He was completely clueless as to what her demand will be but the thought of seeing her again in a few hours was immeasurable. He wished he could express himself in front of her. He wished he could be bold again like he was in college. He was strong, handsome, dominant and had control over top politicians, billionaires and even the mafia. He feared no one but why did he feel nervous when it came to Danica?
She would never guess the effect she has on him because he hides it well. Just as his mind was in deep thought, his phone rang. He looked at the screen eagerly and saw Doctor Jeff's name. He squinted his eyes in uncertainty and answered the call.
"Jeff?"
"Loney, the girl is here again. Herty. She wants to speak with Danica," Doctor Jeff said impatiently. Herty had gone to see him again because she needed to speak to her friend. She was uncomfortable with how things were turning out.
However, Loney's uncertainties made him reluctant to accept her request. He perceived that perhaps, Herty's discussion with Danica might change what she wanted to say and said, "no."
Doctor Jeff, frowned in confusion. "Why? and what do I tell her?"
"Tell her to come next week to speak with her. Make up an excuse. Tell her Danica is sleeping or anything that would make her indisposed. You are a Doctor so you should know what to say," Loney tacitly said but Jeff knew his friend, therefore he was curious.
"Loney, what is going on?" He asked, careful not to anger him.
"Nothing. I have a meeting with Danica tonight and I don't want any external information to influence whatever she has to say so tell her friend to come next week. In order not to create suspicion, tell her that you will arrange for her to meet Danica next week. At least it will be a pleasant surprise for Danica." Loney revealed.
