Chapter 201 - Sharp Tongue

Elena got a call from Lucas who asked her wait for him to join them. He was already informed about their location and it didn't took him time to reach there.

Inside the private dinning room Lucas joined the girls. Before reaching the restaurant he had a talk with the manager telling him about the order to be place.

As both the ladies of the Thomson family were expecting he made sure to go according to the food which was healthy for them.

"You are so caring Lucas. You should give some lessons to Daniel too. That stupid man is just so careless who is only doing surgery forgetting about his own wedding" Maira sneered.

"Don't worry I would soon start his classes from next day occupying him again with work" Lucas said waiting for her to understand what he meant.

Maira was about to take a sip from her juice choked when she heard him, "Tomorrow" she asked.

"Hmm tomorrow. He would be on leave from tomorrow till the wedding get over" 

Lucas placed some salad on Elena's plate when his eyes went to see a figure passing through the glass wall of their private room.

Even though he couldn't see the persons face he felt as if he had seen him somewhere.

Staring at the glass wall he didn't heard Elena calling him. His mind was busy recalling where he had seen him.

"Lucas" she shook him breaking his thoughts and he turn to look at her in daze.

"What?" he asked looking her worried face.

"You gave me too much. I can't eat the whole portion" he then looked down on her place when realization stuck," Oh sorry sunshine I didn't realize I served you this much"

Elena looked at Lucas who was a while ago spacing out looking out. 

'Maybe he saw someone' she thought and continued to eat thinking she would ask him once they reach home.

Samantha's cabin

After returning from the meeting Samantha was so content that everyone around her was praising her for handling the companies matter carefully without letting the company face any downfall.

She couldn't help but feel grateful for her decision to join PM Enterprise. If not for her experience she would have not know the basic of how the business world work.

She didn't forget Ethan who was her strongest support who kept motivating her to never look down on her and face everything with her head held high.

As soon as Ethan face came to her mind she picked up her cellphone and made a call to him. She wanted to have the lunch with him as her schedule was changed and the meeting she was going to have after lunch was moved on to the next day.

The phone kept ringing for sometime when the call was picked," Hello baby girl" his soothing voice would always cheer her up letting her forget the stressful event for the whole day.

"Handsome would you like to have a lunch date with me" she talked to him with the same flirty tone making him chuckle on the other side.

"I don't mind going on a date with you my whole life" Ethan had become so cheesy with his words that she would easily get melted.

"Wait for me in the parking lot" she said and ended the call before picking up her handbag and exiting her cabin.

She was so happy that she wanted to share it with him how her subordinates praised her for her work ethics. She walked so fast entering the elevator smiling at everyone who crossed her path.

The people around her loved her for being so caring and not behave like typical head strong boss who would lash every now and then on the employees.

As soon as she reached the parking area Ethan was already standing next to his car waiting for her.

Running like a child with her arms open wide she hugged Ethan taking him by surprise.

"I'm so so so happy" she squeal like a kid showing her happiness.

Pulling back she started to talk about the incident in the meeting. Ethan couldn't help but feel proud knowing that his baby girl was growing into a fine women and was now appreciated by everyone who worked with her. 

Getting inside the car they soon left for their lunch date. On the way Samantha booked a table for them so it don't take time for them to waste their time there standing.

Lucas, Elena and Maira left the restaurant and headed back home. Both the girls were tired by the amount of shopping they did forgetting that they were pregnant.

"Sunshine this is the last time you will go out" Lucas was sitting on the bed with Elena's legs resting on his lap.

They were swollen because of the standing continuously for so long time. It had been like this for a while so Lucas always warn her before she would do anything.

"Ahh.. slow" she cried in pain as he massaged them gently. Even a minimum pressed who make her legs pain.

"See it's all swollen. You are not getting out from bed henceforth" Lucas couldn't bear her cry it would make his heart hurt.

"What!! Are you out of your mind. What will I do sitting her doing nothing" Elena was shocked by his words. Did he want her to sit like a showpiece doing nothing and only eating and sleeping.

"You don't have to worry your slave is here. Just call him and he will be at your service" shamelessly he just blurt out nonsense making her more annoyed.

Closing her eyes she let him speak rubbish without getting bothered and rested her head on the head board when a thought came into her mind

"Who were you looking so keenly at the restaurant" she asked when she recall how distracted he was that he even forgot he was serving her too much.

"Oh that.. I thought I saw a familiar face but couldn't remember who the person was" he had long forgotten about the incident as his mind was totally occupied by his wife swollen legs.

"Hmm.." she nodded her head and again closed her eyes.

Lucas who was massaging her legs looked up and saw her sleeping. Resting back her legs on the bed he made her sleep properly before he went to get change.

Ethan and Samantha were having their private time together. They were having the lunch at the restaurant which was close to the company. Since the table was already book they directly went to have their lunch.

"You like it" Ethan asked when he saw Samantha having the seafood which was too spicy for his taste.

"Hmm.. I so wanted to try them. Luckily they had this in the menu" 

Ethan chuckled and started to eat. Even though they were spicy the flavor of the food made him like it.

Both were busy eating the food when a voice called them from back," Ethan.." 

Looking up Samantha saw the person who called them and just by watching her smile she felt her anger starting to surge up.

"I didn't knew we would meet you here" Laila and some of her team members had came to same restaurant to have the lunch.

Laila had persuade Ethan to have lunch with them but he politely rejected it. Now watching her standing next to him he only hope Samantha would not burst out like the other day.

"That's why you rejected us because you wanted to have lunch with the lady boss" her words carried humor but only Samantha knew she didn't meant that.

"I didn't knew we would meet our office people here or else I would have change he venue" keeping her cool she sarcastically answered. The smile on Laila's face dropped listening her words.

Feeling embarrassed Laila didn't utter a word further and excused herself but before she walked pass the couple she glared a sharp gaze on Samantha before she went ahead.

"I am telling you she has other motive towards you Ethan. How did she knew we are here" her peaceful mood turn sour watching the face she didn't like.

Ethan shook his head and held her hand calming her nerves and spoke," How do you not expect the companies employee come her when the place is just close to the company" he knew he would see familiar faces but he didn't expect to see Laila and some team members here too.

She breathe heavily and took the prawn from her plate and ate it pouring her frustration on that poor thing. She lost when he told her and that was right to meet her employee's when the place was so close.

She turn to see back only to find Laila staring in their direction. There was no doubt Samantha was going to hold back until she find her real intentions. She knew that the women was trying to catch Ethan's attention but she had no proof which would prove her doubts.

While the couple was busy eating behind three tables away from them Laila was throwing dagger on Samantha who had her back faced her.

"She has a sharp tongue" Natty one of the team member said watching Laila who was very much trying to calm herself.

This was the second time this rude girl had made her embarrass in front of Ethan. Even though she knew Samantha was the boss but still she had  position were no one would point finger at her intention. 

From the time Ethan had joined the department Laila had her eyes set on him. She was swayed by his manly aura which made her more eager to know about him.

When she learned about his relation with the boss daughter she still wanted to pursue him thinking that her beauty will attract him. But even if she tried to get close to him he would not get intimidated by her and that push made her more eager to reach out to him.

"She will soon pay for her sharp mouth"
