Chapter 80 - It's Him

"You came?" his voice startled her in surprise.

"How did you know I came?" she asked, when she saw him waking to her.

"I can feel your presence sunshine" he said and bend down to inhale her fresh after bath fragrance.

Elena tilted her head a little to give him access, as his breathe fanned her neck. He slowly kissed her there before pulling back," You smell like heaven sunshine" his husky voice send chills to her spine, when he bore into her eyes and smile Elena feels her world lightens up.

Elena was brought out from her trance, when the fresh toasted smell of the bread reached her nostril," Did you made the breakfast?" she smiled and asked him.

He nodded in yes and held her wrist," Come help me in setting the table" he said taking her to the kitchen counter.

"As for now, I only know to make your favorite sandwich but promise.. I will learn to cook you favorite dishes soon" he said pulling the chair for her and making her sit.

Elena was touch by how he got up early and made their breakfast by himself. Elena could eat these sandwiches made by him daily and could even ditch her fried chicken just to taste these yummy food in front of her eyes.

She took a bit from the sandwich and moaned," Hmm.. Lucas its so yummy.." she complimented and kept munching the food.

Lucas could make her eat them daily if she felt this much content by his hard work. He didn't care if he had to become a cook for her, because he would like to be her slave in everyway and make her happy.

They both had their breakfast and Lucas went to get a bath, before they start their work. He asked her to go and wait for him at the study room as they will be working from there.

Inside the study room, Elena was watching how the room was designed. She could tell this man was a total workaholic. He had so many files on the shelf and so many books related to business managements. There was no doubt how he achieved so much in his early age.

She walked toward his desk and stopped," He...." she said looking at the picture frame kept on the table. It had Blake , Rosie and Little Lucas it , a perfect family photo of three.

"Could he be the same boy I met...."she was saying when Lucas entered the study room with a smile on his face.

Elena was holding the frame in her hand when she looked up at Lucas," What are you seeing?" he asked while he marched towards her and stood next to her looking at her frame in her hand.

"This..."she couldn't find the words as it went dry.

"Oh this... it was taken when I had won singing competition in the school" he said.

"What was your age at that time?" she couldn't help but wanted to be sure whether her instincts were correct or not or... she must be guessing something wrong.

"Fifteen..."he said and went to sit on the chair.

Elena kept looking at his young face, and a broken boys face flashed in front of her eyes. Tears formed in her eyes ,when she remember why was his smile looked familiar to her," It's him..."she said in her mind when a smile formed on her face.

She kept looking at him with the unknown emotion that made her heart happy and even sad at the same time," I will cherish you my whole life Lucas" she fitted this thing in her mind like an engraved vow she made to herself.

Back in the office, Natasha was eating Ron's brain. She had been waiting for Lucas and had came to work early just to see him.

Her father words kept ringing in her head," You need to seduce him, if you do not want to loose him" these words were like a command for her which she wanted to execute.

But... she didn't see Lucas coming to the office and even Elena was missing.

After waiting for a while, she went straight to Ron as she couldn't be so much patient and asked him directly," Where is Lucas?".

Natasha has lost her good girl image, when her mind went out of control in anger by just thinking about Lucas and Elena being together. She tried being cool but now she was loosing her sanity.

"Miss Knight... Sir is out for a business meeting and won't be coming today" he said plainly. This girl was starting to show her true colors and now he could see it.

"And where is Elena? I need her to guide me with work" she said without any sweetness in her words.

Who would say, that this girl who was behaving like a sweet and nice ,a well behaved person yesterday would turn out to be total spoiled brat. The politeness was long gone and the sweet words had turn sour, throwing venom from her mouth.

"She is not well.... and is On leave "he lied.

Getting the answer she felt her body relax," It means she is not with him" she whispered and a smile formed on her lips. 

"Oh... is that so?.. Ask her to take a proper rest then" she said and left without turning back.

Ron was dumbfounded, when he saw how her horror face changed into a sweet romcom movie just because of his lie.

His boss was right, this girl does look what she pretends to be and he should keep an eye on her.

.

.

.

"Boss this women is just Cruella...." Lucas read the message that Ron had sent him and smiled. He was right in judging her, she was here with a motive and he needed to find it out.

Elena saw him smiling at his phone and frowned," What are you smiling for?" she asked.

"No... nothing. Just some random jokes" he said and placed the phone back on the table.

"Hmm.." she hummed and looked back on the file she was reading.

"Lucas do you think you made the right decision to let Mr. Knights daughter work in our company?" she was contemplating whether she should speak what was in her mind or not.

"Why... why do you think so?" he asked resting his elbow on the table.

"Don't think I'm judging your decision, but that girl doesn't give good vibes to me. I mean... no let it go" she said not wanting to continue.

Lucas smirked, when she found her struggling to come up with words. What was she thinking he wanted to know?

"Sunshine is something bothering you?" he asked.

Elena looked at him, she wanted to voice her opinion regarding her but how was going to say.

"No nothing..." she said and looked back on the file.

Lucas couldn't take any longer, this girl was getting jealous and still she was holding herself back to tell him what she felt.

"Are you jealous sunshine?" he asked with a smirk.

Elena looked at him with her eyes wide. "How did he get to know what she was thinking? does he read minds? or... does he have any power which she is not aware of?" she thought while looking at his questioning face.

"Huh no.. why would I be" she scoffed at his words not wanting to show him that he had caught her.

"Oh.. fine! I thought you were jealous" he said.

"No I'm not" she said averting her eyes not letting him see her face.

"But don't you think she is hot.. I mean she is beautiful right" he smirked teasing her more. He wanted to know what was going on in her mind .

Elena looked back to him, her frown deepen more listening his words," What did you say?" she gritted her teeth and her hold on the file tighten, turning her palm white.

Lucas gulped at the sight, did he made a mistake. He knew, whenever he would tease her she would transform into a witch and didn't spare punishing him with her weird things.

Elena got up from his chair, making him flinch in fear," Sunshine.." his voice came out as a whisper

"What did you say Lucas Thomson?" she said walking like a head master ready to punish the bad kid.

"Nothing sunshine... I was just kidding" he said.

Elena reached to his chair and bend down pulling his shirt," Dare you speak that again Lucas Thomson, I will pull that tongue of yours out from your mouth" she said in anger.

"And that girl... whatever her name is, yes I'm jealous of her because she keeps looking at my man with her lustful eyes" she let go off his shirts and moved back taking a deep breath.

Elena has seen her gawking at Lucas the day she came with her father. Though she didn't show it on her face, deep in her heart she didn't like it. And what added more salt on her wound when she said they knew each other from their high school. Elena tried not to think about it and go with the flow but still her lusty eyes kept bugging her.

Lucas got up and went to her.. Pulling her chin he made her look at him," Sunshine I'm yours and no one is going to change this fact" he said.
