Chapter 5

Loosing track of Time

Evan walked into the bathroom. He splashed his face with water, and was trying to find his tooth brush when suddenly he realized This wasn't his Home

“Good morning Evan! Did you sleep well?” Nat asked Evan while holding a cup of coffee she brought for him.

Evan chuckled nervously “Oh yes I did, Nat. Thanks.” Evan said as he took the cup from her.

Nat nodded and smiled at him “Good! Now go get ready because we are meeting up with our Clients !! We have lots of work left to do! Oh I hope you like your pancakes!”

Evan Sipped his coffee Nervously then gathered courage to ask her "Did you bring me to your house? "

Nat laughed loudly as if it was the most ridiculous question ever. She looked like a mad woman. She looked back at Evan " Guess I Kidnapped you ??? Of course Evan my home!! I couldn't drive you to another city !!!” Nat squealed out loud while giggling uncontrollably.

Evan laughed too, still nervous but not as bad “Well I appreciate it Nat. Thank you very much for this” Evan said smiling at her again. She gave him a warm smile in return and turned around to leave.

"Now get ready I did get you some Clothes From my Husband I guess they will fit you . He was the one who carried you to the bed . We are meeting our clients today in an hour ". Said Nat

Evan got ready and walked down the stairs , as he did so he saw the dinning table with a teen girl and a older looking man probably Nat's husband he thought "Good morning Mr.Evan" the man said

"Good morning Mr.?"

"MR.Gerald Cooper " said the man

Natalie came at the Table as she did she said Good morning to everyone and rushed to Gerald to give him a kiss on the cheeks Evan thought right this was her Husband. Natalie sat down as her maid served the breakfast .

"So how is your Assignments going lately Tom?" Nat asked the teen boy sitting quietly at the table .

" it's going great mom " Said Tom

Evan saw the boy and this time he had a feeling like he had seen him somewhere before too .

Tom got up as he was getting late bidding his goodbye to his Parents.

Evan seemed bit confused.Nat saw him and asked

"Wondering how I look young and I have a teen Kid ?"

Nat giggled

"I don't understand what you are talking about Mrs.Natalie I mean... uh..." Evan blushed

"Tom is my son " Gerald said as he was laughing.

"Natalie and I met 2 years ago we fell in love and at that time I was living with Tom alone "

"But I do Love Tom as my own " Said Natalie

"Ofcourse you do honey ! You're more mother to him than his actual mother"

Gerald said as Natalie got up and told Evan.

"If you're finished Mr.Evan let's get going Shall we."

Evan Got up instantly and followed Natalie

"Remember wisely Telling the client all about how amazing our apartments are and you will do the paper work for me . Together we will sell all the apartments in this building . This town will soon be booming with business from malls to parks Gas stations , Alot of people getting a home to live in ."

Natalie stated as she drove to their destination.

They arrived at the carpark. They got out and headed inside the office. It was really nice inside, Evan looked at himself in the mirror. The room was huge and had two big windows facing each other. He walked further in to see the rest of the office space.

There were three guys in front of a desk in the far end, the farthest room from Evan. There were two doors, the one leading to the reception area,and the one behind them. There were a lot of desks, there must have been 20 or 30 workers in this place and some tables scattered across the room. Natalie made me sit in her office on the left and called the three man inside .

"Hello Sirs I am Natalie Wilson, Your Estate agent . I will make sure you find your desired destination " Nat spoke confidently. Evan noticed her voice has been raised a little but he didn't comment on it. She turned to Evan after speaking with the man and said "These are our clients of the day." Nat told. Evan

"Shall we go to the site gentlemen?"

They all got up and followed Natalie to the Building right next to the office . Natalie got into the elevator and took them to fourth floor where the apartment are located. They exited the elevator and Natalie led them to the fourth Apartment. She opened the door and they all went inside. This apartment looked like someone would just move in. It had clean lines, it was furnished beautifully, everything was put together nicely.

The group looked around the apartment. The man went to check the kitchen and the men stayed outside to check the other rooms, while Natalie closed the door.

"This one is perfect. Can you send us a copy of the rent list?" One man asked

She gave Evan a signalhanded the papers to the man. He took it then looked at Evan and said

"Is there anyone else you want to talk with about the apartment sir?"

"Actually no, this should be fine Mr. Garrett".

Mr. Garrett took a pen and signed his name on the Rent list. Evan thanked him and Mr. Garrett left leaving Natalie and Evan behind.

"Well this deal went great ". Said Evan

"Yes it did well there are some more things you have to learn But we will discuss them tomorrow . BTW I forgot to tell you last night your mother was calling you .I picked it up and told her about you fainting at the interview .You should probably talk to her now."Nat said

"What ! You're telling me that now? " Said Evan stressing out as he jumped up and called her mom

*Ring ring *

"Hello Mom! Yeah I'm okay now , Yes I ate Breakfast No mom I'm not seeing any girl that's my Boss and I'm at work . Yes . Mom I will talk to you later okay just don't worry Love you too ."

Evan cut the call to see a text from an unknown number he checked it

*Message open*

"Hey Evan ! Can we get lunch tomorrow at 4 , I will be waiting for you at the cafe near the store .

Natalie"

He sighed then texted back saying he'll be there

*Ding*

Evan sighed as he looked at the time in his phone it was 3:30pm already

"Hey Nat . I'm leaving early today have an urgent meeting." he told Natalie as he excised himself

Natalie said " yeah sure the deal went well I guess you can take the rest of the day off "
