147 Close Encounters 3 (1/2)

Elle exited the cafe together with Amelia and Mrs. Hayes who figured that she and Amelia might as well go eat now if there was no hope that her son would join them. The three of them had just parted ways when Elle ran into her second coincidence of the day, quite literally.

She was looking behind her, watching Amelia and Mrs. Hayes walk off together, when she suddenly bumped into someone. Elle looked up intending to apologize and realized that by some odd coincidence it was Chris.

”I'm so sorry - ” He started apologizing immediately, stopping suddenly when he realized who he was talking to.

”Elle! What a surprise.”

”I seem to be blessed with such surprises today.” Elle said with a stretched smile.

'If Abby and Jacob showed up her day would be complete.' Elle thought to herself bitterly.

Amelia by chance saw the interaction between the two and it only reinforced the idea that Elle and Chris were in a relationship.

”Come aunty. Let's go.” She said as she took Mrs. H's arm and lead her away with a satisfied smile on her face.

”I was actually planning to call you.” Chris confessed.

”Oh? Is something wrong?”

”No, it's nothing like that. I just never properly thanked you for doing such a big favour for me last time.”

”That's right. We haven't spoken since that day have we? Don't worry about it, I had fun being your assistant too. Besides it's not a bad thing to have an A-list celebrity owe you a favour.” She teased.

”Perhaps, but I do have something for you. As a thank you.”

”For me?”

”You're leaving now right?” Chris asked.

”Yes.”

”Perfect. Let me have just two more minutes of your time. Follow me.” He said as he set off towards the parking lot.

”Where are we going?” Elle complained as she followed after him.

”It's in my car.” Was the only explanation he gave.

Elle followed Chris to his car where he reached into the back seat and pulled out a small black gift bag.

”For you.” He declared. ”As a thank you gift.”

Elle was flustered, feeling both surprised and grateful. ”Thank you. You really didn't need to do this much.”

”To be honest I didn't really do anything.” Chris said sheepishly. ”The company I modelled for that time gave this to me as a gift but I have no use for it. Since you helped me during that shoot I thought it would only fair for you to have it.”
