  Liza was just coming out of her office when she heard a girl's cry from Department B

  "Why are You doing this to me..I've done everything you ever asked, I've been faithful to you, so why are you leaving me - why? Why, when you know how much I love you and you said that you loved me too, so why then?"

  It is Ruby's voice, the lover of the senior manager of department B. Everyone was so jealous of her because her boyfriend is so rich and powerful in the company. She is crying for him and he is heartless, he just doesn't care.

  My mother was right about rich people. She’d say “rich people don't care about the feelings of others or what love is. “They just 'Use people and then throw them away." Liza thought.

  Liza's life hadn't been good since her childhood. She’d had a good family life with a loving mother and a hardworking father but when her father began to earn really large amounts of money he changed. He left her mother and went off with a younger, more glamorous woman.

  Her mother had raised her. She had suffered so much in order to provide Liza with a better education but three years before she died of a serious illnes, she advised her daughter never to fall in love with a rich guy as they never care about the feelingsof those who love them. Liza always kept her advice as one of the principles of her life and believed her mother knew best.

  Liza was deep in thoughts, when she was disturbed by her phone. She only answered it after seeing that it was Julie calling her.

  "Hello"

  "What do you mean Hello?” A furious Julie replied “Did you forget that you had to go somewhere?”

  "Ohh I just forget that you set up a blind date for me “Mother” , Liza said sarcastically “Can I not cancel it today?"

  "What the hell are you saying girl? You can call me “mother” all you like but You have to go there OK?, I’m in a hurry, my boyfriend is calling me now so please hurry up and get there" Then Julie hung up!

  “Ahh. I suppose that means I have to go there, this is Julie”, Liza thought.

  At

  Liza arrived at the restaurant where they were meeting . It was a very expensive place. It was especially designed with romantic couples in mind. Liza was admiring the decor when she heard someone call her name.

  "Are you Miss Liza?"

  Liza turned around and saw a handsome tall man standing behind her.

  "Yes, are you Essa?" Liza asked.

  The man smiled and raised his hand taking hold of Liza’s hand to guide her to her seat.

  It was a blind date and soa little bit awkward for her but the man began chatting with her. Liza found him an average good looking man. They were just talking while a waiter brought their orders. He was serving them but by mistake a little soup dripped from the spoon and fell onto Essa’s shoe. Before the waiter coils apologise Essa lost his temper with the waiter "Do you know what you have done" he shouted

  The waiter was afraid and he continued apologizing for his mistake. Seeing what was happening the Head Waiter Also came to Apologize.

  "Sorry Mr Essa, please forgive him, he is just a new employee here so he doesn't know you"

  Then he stared at the waiter "Do you know who he is? He is the Head of The Khan group and he can..."

  "Ok, Ok, leave it. Just go away" Essa interrupted. Liza was shocked finding out that he is Head of a big company. Although It was not one of the biggest firms in the country but It was a big clothing manufacturer.

  "So you are in charge of the Khan groups?" Liza asked.

  " Yeah. So tell me something about You. What do you do and what are your ambitions and……...." Essa was talking a lot but Liza was lost in her thoughts. If she had known who he was and that he belonged to a rich family, she wouldn't have come here, but now what could she do. She was finding his company unpleasant and boring and beganthinking how she might get away from here,and from the obnoxious Mr Essa.

  Then her eyes fell to a table beside them. There was a man sitting on a chair and looking very busy on his phone. He was looking down and with his phone held to his ear, his face was not clearly visible.

  She got a crazy idea of how to get away from Essa. She suddenly stood up from her seat and without speaking a word she rushed towards the man with the phone and grabbed his wrist to turn him towards her. The man was shocked by her behavior, and jumped up in surprised anger, staring at her with cool frustration. He was about to say something but his lips were suddenly blocked by her lips and his cold angry eyes changed into shocked and bewildered eyes.
