《Mr. Ceo & I》Chapter 18
Advertisement
I was stumbling over the sidewalk, and Miya was literally running to the ice cream shop while dragging my whole body just by her hand.
She was stronger than she looked. I lost count of how many times I tripped coming up here.
We finally stopped in front of the shop and went in. There was a line of people, but not that much.
Miya ran up to the counter looking through the glass at all the flavors. Her eyes were so big in amazement.
She took ice cream so seriously. She started pointing at every one naming them off.
She was like a kid in a candy store. However, for her she was like the...
Kid in the ice cream shop.
We were finally up next in line. A girl in her teens came up smiling ready to take our order.
"Hi, what can I get you guys?" She asked.
"Hi, can you get us 1 scoop of vanilla on a cone and the same on another cone but make it strawberry with sprinkles."
She scooped the ice cream onto the cones and walked over to the register.
"Will that be all for today?"
"Yeah"
"Alright that will be $5.67"
I handed her the exact change for the ice cream cones.
"Okay here goes your Ice Cream, and you guys have a good day"
"Thanks, you too"
I was gathering my purse off the counter when I heard an annoying screeching voice from behind me.
"No, babe I want a fat free one, you know I'm trying to watch my weight!" The woman whined.
It sounded so familiar, so I turned around and tried to search who the voice belonged to.
Once I caught a glimpse of her face I remembered her almost immediately. It was the girl that insulted me in the bathroom that one time about me being a personal assistant to Mr. Beacon
And right beside her, the man himself stood. Her arm was hooked into his, and she was all over him.
"Stacey, like I said they don't have fat free ice cream!"
Mhmm... So that was her name typical.
He rubbed his hands over his face in frustration. He pulled his arm out from hers and walked off to sit at a nearby table.

He had on a blue button shirt with blue jeans and black shoes. It was kind of weird seeing him dress down.
I was so use to him wearing suits.
She frowned at his behavior, but she kept on looking through the options.
I decided to hurry up, and leave. I really didn't want to talk or be seen by anyone. I grabbed Miya's hand quickly and went towards the door not looking back.
I was almost out the door until Miya wanted to turn around and scream...
"Ashwer!!"
I turned around with Miya looking in his direction. He looked up at the sound of his name.
He had a look of shock in his eyes when he saw Miya and me. I thought he was going to ignore her for some reason.
However, he stood from his seat and walked towards us and bent down to look at Miya.
"Hi sweetheart"
"Hi" she said giving him a hug.
"Do you feel better?" He asked her
"Yeah." She said shyly
"Good" He said pulling her cheeks.
She started giggling at this. And he did it again and again making her giggle louder.
He finally stopped and met eyes with me. Man, he looks more handsome every time I see him.
"Natalia" He said with a nod of the head
"Mr. Beacon"
"Asher"
I was confused on why he was saying his name.
"Huh?"
"Asher. Call me Asher outside of the work place."
"Okay I said making sure that I dragged out his name, so he would know that I fixed my mistake.
I guess he didn't like that, because he gave me a frown. I really didn't care though, I was suddenly in a cranky mood.
He was going to say something else. But Stacey interrupted us by towering over him.
"Babe come on I'm ready to order." She said while grabbing his arm repeatedly.
He didn't say anything nor moved from his spot, he just kept on looking at me. I think she noticed that his attention was somewhere else.
She looked at me in shock and then a disgusted one. She then looked down to Miya giving her the same look.
"Who's this little girl?" She said in a not so friendly way.
I picked up Miya from the ground into my arms and looked at Stacey with the dirtiest look.

"That's none of your concern." I sneered.
"Go wait in the car Stacey." He said to her
"But-"
"Go!" He said pointing at the door
She looked puzzled for a second, her eyes looked back and for the between Asher and I for a minute. She looked embarrassed by the whole thing.
However, she walked off stomping out the door and onto the sidewalk.
"Wow" He said to me.
"Wow, what!?" I said snapping at him
"I never saw you heated towards another person besides myself." He said while giving a nod towards the door, where Stacey left not even a second ago.
"Well no one takes pleasure of being so annoying and rude towards me but you, however she might have got you beat in that category."
I quickly said the comment and walked out the door expecting that to be all. Until I heard him yell my name.
"Natalia!"
"What!" I yelled back at him.
He looked at me with anger in his eyes, and with a tense face.
"I think you might have forgot that I'm still your boss!" He said raising his voice a little.
"No I think I remember perfectly fine of who you are, cause you remind every da-"
"I will stop it right there if I were you, it might cost you your job from the next words that are going to come out of that mouth." He threatened me with a low voice.
I took a deep breath and counted to three in my head to calm myself down.
"Natalia what are you doing? This is your boss you are talking too? Whatever anger or feelings that are causing you to react this way put them to the side. So, you can keep your job, and have a calm collective conversation with this man." I said in my mind.
However, when I opened my eyes I saw Stacey through a car window. Which I'm guessing was probably Asher's car. With the sight of her my anger rose again
I rolled my eyes, and looked down at the floor. Still holding Miya in my arms.
"Well you have a nasty attitude today." He said with a frustrated tone.
"Like you don't" I retorted back.
I heard a honk from a car in front of me. He turned around looking where the sound came from as well. We both looked at Stacey continuously honking the wheel to get his attention.
"Well, I got to go, and I bet you do too. You don't want to keep the poor girl waiting."
He scowled at me because of my comment. But I smirked and walked away.
"Bye Ashwer!" Miya said to him, while almost blowing out my ear drum in the process.
"Bye Miya" I heard him yell back from behind me.
I walked down the street heading to my apartment.
So, Stacey was the devil that insulted me in the bathroom. Well I made the conclusion that I didn't like her, and she worked on my nerves.
I was surprised that they were an item. I mean Asher didn't bother with anyone it seemed.
I mean he was always irritated and rude with everyone.
On the other hand, he was very handsome, so I could see why he wasn't single, and if he would date anyone it would probably be Stacey. I mean they had the same personality, and he can probably walk all over her and she wouldn't say anything.
He was going to get with someone sooner or later. I just didn't think that it would be with her.
We finally arrived at the apartment. I opened the door, and we walked in.
Bye the time we were home both of our ice creams were melted. Miya was still chomping down on hers.
I decided to put mine in a bowl and put in the freezer. As soon as I turned around she was done with it. Man, she really liked (love) ice cream.
"Okay baby girl you want to watch a movie?"
"Fwinding Nwemo!" She screamed.
I chuckled because she was still finishing her Ice cream that was in her mouth while screaming.
Okay Finding Nemo it is. We walked to the couch, and made ourselves comfortable.
I walked to the TV stand picking it out. I put it in the DVD player and pressed play.
Miya was already into the movie yelling stuff at the TV. However, I couldn't really pay attention.
My mind wandered back to Asher and Stacey.
It bothered me to see them.
