Chapter 31: Charming
"You start eating, I'll be back" Chance informed David, to which David agreed and went ahead.
"Hey, why is my love looking so confused?" Chance suddenly approached her and asked startling Samantha.
"Huh umm, I.. nothing, I am fine" Samantha was not sure what to say.
"Wow, so you accept you are my love?" Chance teased her.
Samantha realized what she did and looked embarrassed.
"Lunch?" Chance politely asked her to change the topic as he could see the changes in her.
"Sure, if you are not busy" Samantha was relieved he asked her for lunch instead of prolonging his tease but the next moment he again teased her.
"For you I will never be busy"
"Chance, please" Samantha begged him as he was again turning cheesy.
He laughed at her reaction and they headed to the lunch buffet.
"I am sorry for my behavior earlier" Samantha apologized to him.
"When you say earlier, you mean today morning, or for your behaviour of two months back?"
"Hey, I was very nice to you two months back, what did I do wrong?" Samantha felt wronged by his accusation.
Chance laughed at her words, "Haha sure"
Samantha didn't prolong it and explained herself, "By the way, I applied as an external attendee to attend this conference, I just wanted to learn a few things about the business world, that's why I am here and since it is a proper corporate event, I am dressed like this" She explained.
She came up with this excuse before meeting him.
"Oh, but you know right that you did not need to explain yourself to me."
"But you asked me earlier"
"Yeah, because I didn't expect you to be present here so it was just a casual question."
"Still" Samantha prepared for an explanation so she wanted to use it.
"Today I am representing my company and have a presentation at 3 PM, would you like to attend it?" Chance asked her.
"What are your plans after that?"
"Nothing much, my conference would end at 4 PM, then I am free for the rest of the day."
"Oh, then will you rest or attend other events?"
"Hmm, I have no such plans, why? You want to spend some time with me?" Chance teased her.
"No, asking you casually"
"Oh, I'll see how my conference goes then will decide after that"
"Okay"
"So, would you like to attend my conference with me?" Chance again asked her.
"Sure, I will be attending all the conferences from now on"
"Nice." Chance didn't ask her anything else.
They took their lunch and joined David at his table.
"Hi Samantha" David casually greeted her.
"Hey David" Samantha has a good memory and she remembers everything well once she sees it and similarly once she meets a person, she very well remembers their face and name.
"I thought you were a florist" David was confused to see her dressed in a formal attire.
"Yeah, attending this conference as an external attendee, wanted to learn a few things." She explained trying to provide as less information as possible.
"Are you planning to start your own business?" David asked her.
"Yeah, a start-up" Samantha lied.
"What kind of a start-up?"
Samantha wanted David to change this topic as she didn't prepare a proper lie to answer so many questions but she still tried to say something, "Yeah, so my idea is.."
"Hey guys, you already started without me?" A beautiful voice interrupted Samantha and she turned to her right to look at a charming young woman smiling brightly.
The woman then placed her plate on the table and got another chair for herself, she placed the chair between Samantha and Chance's chairs and sat next to him.
