Is he asking her to cook him dinner in her home?? Aren't they moving too fast??

"Louis?" Brina called, giving him a questioning look.

"Didn't you ask me to drop you home with grocery bags? I followed your wish, Ms. Parker….you owe me again" Louis told, chuckling.

"Yeah I did. But, what about dinner? You asked me for a treat right?" Brina asked, slightly confused.

"I did. But not now. Maybe later" he answered.

"Anyway, we are going to work under the same roof and if I am not wrong, on the same project as well. We will have plenty of lunches and treats together" he said, winking.

"Moreover, tomorrow is your first day in office, Brina. If we go for dinner it might become late by the time you return back. This might affect your work and also sleeping schedule. We will think of a day when we can spend more time without any worries to care about" he smiled.

Brina's heart of course melted. Not everyone will consider these tiny, trivial things.

Louis is understanding and very considerate.

"Thank you. Thanks for your help again, Louis" Brina said, alighting the car.

"Hey! Won't you call me upstairs, at least for coffee? I helped you a lot and I am exhausted. I need caffeine!" he asked, playfully.

"Sure. But don't blame me if I don't keep good coffee. I am not good at cooking" Brina playfully said.

Louis chuckled and alighted the car. They were smiling as he helped her with bags before he followed her to the elevator.

From outside, it looked like they were a normal couple who went shopping and then went back to their little nest.

It looked so natural as if they have been doing this for ages.

Chris gritted his teeth.

He has never been to Brina place.

She never invited anyone and didn't let Tanya invite others.

She is so secretive!!

But here she is, allowing a man into her house at this time!

Although Chris wanted to follow them more, unfortunately he couldn't follow her to her home because she will get to know about it and might hate him more.

"Fuck man!" Chris gritted as he clenched his fists before hitting the window of his car, to vent his anger out.

….

Meanwhile…

As Brina led him to her house, a sudden realization hit her.

How does he know where she is living??

And, how on earth did he phoned her at the right time while she was in a difficult situation with Tanya??

She almost forgot about this!

"Hey, Louis, how did you know where I live, as far as I remember I didn't tell you about this anytime" she asked.

Louis instantly bit his tongue as he wrecked his mind to come up with a suitable explanation.

Thinking for a few seconds, he looked at her. "Silly, you wrote down your address in application form when you came to interview. Forgot??" he asked in a teasing voice.

Brina narrowed her eyes for being teased. "Yeah, but how did you get your hands on them?? It's supposed to be with management…not with project manager" she asked.

"Hey, I do have friends!! I always read my team members data to understand them better." He answered.

"But, it's not been long since we got recruited and you studied the data of everyone?? And, how come you remember such a trivial matter like the address of an employee" Brina asked back.

"Until unless, you took special interest in me and remembered each and everything about me," she asked, suddenly turning around to look into his eyes.

They were standing so close that Louis felt like he was in trance as he looked into her deep eyes. Involuntarily her held his breath and the time around him froze.

"Louis??" Brina called him again.

However, Louis didn't respond but his hands did!! He slowly lifted his right hand and touched her hair, which was resting on the left side of her face.

Brina was so shocked that her whole body froze. His eyes…..those intense feelings emanating from them, it held her like captive. She couldn't stop looking into those eyes.

They were having a moment…a moment that could initiate the love in them.

However, the elevator reached her floor and the door opened with a faint sound.

But that was enough to bring Brina and Louis from their trance.

Brina averted her eyes and Louis retracted his hand.

That was an awkward situation yet, there is an essence of love lingering in the air around them.

It was an awkward yet sweet and genuine moment they had.

As they reached her house, Brina quietly opened the door and she was about to enter the house when he held her hand, making her turn around.

"You are special, Brina….special to me. I don't know why or how I feel that way. But yes, I took your data from Charlotte and memorized them. It is how I remember your address" Louis answered with a faint smile on his lips.

Brina is taken off guard as she hears his cheesy words. Her heart started beating erratic and her eyes felt hot with tears that were threatening to escape her eyes.

She quickly averted her eyes and discreetly wiped away the tear.

How long has it been since she felt this special?? It made her remember her parents and brother.

Meanwhile, Louis obviously noticed the sudden change in her behaviour.

"Let's go inside. I am famished" he quickly said, diverting the topic.

Brina pursed her lips and nodded her head, giving him a smile.

Louis is not aware of what happened to her in her past nor why she has these sudden mood swings. But, he at least realized that she had a bad past which she wouldn't like to remember.

….

Soon, they entered her simple 2BHK house, Louis looked around curiously.

Unlike other girls who love fairy and light colors, Brina's house is decorated with dark colors.

Mostly gloomy colors.

"Your house is…." He didn't know what to tell.

"Gloomy, dark, sad" Brina smiled , sadness evident in her eyes.

"Tanya tried so hard to change but didn't succeed. I love dark colours" she casually answered

"And, uhmm..Louis, please make yourself comfortable. I will freshen up and make coffee for both of us" Brina said and quickly escaped to her room.

She is so cute...

Louis chuckled and stood up as he walked to the huge floor to ceiling window.

He took out his mobile and called his assistant.

"Did Chris leave?" Louis asked.

"Yes sir. He followed you and madam to the apartment but he left long back." Assistant answered.

"And, Chris might check on my background. Cover all the tracks that might connect me to my real name."
