Ch-135
Present...….
"How dare he call the dog! I will show him who is the real dog!" Edward roared on the phone.
"You don't have to! She made him kneel in front of the company! Also, she made him chant 'i'm the real dog,' in front of anyone. And that guy is still kneeling and chanting there. She said she will let him go when she is satisfied," Alexander said.
"She is planning to kneel till night," Alexander added.
"Let him. He deserved it. I think his punishment is too light," Edward said.
"Anyway, Edward, just look after this issue. I don't want him to create trouble for Sina," Alexander reminded him.
"Dad, please pick up Ava from uncle Stephen," Edward said.
"You said it on time. I will take a u-turn and pick her up," he said.
"Okay, I'm hanging then," he said.
"Okay, bye," he said.
Edward's lips curled upwards into a snarky smile. She is a snarky one. She lived up to her name.
He has to keep those geysers in check once in a while and remind them who is she.
He kept his phone in his pocket.
The doorbell rang. He went out only to see the delivery guy. He took the order. He placed it on the table. He went to his room and showered. After that, he changed into a new set of clean clothes.
He unpacked the dishes. And heated them a little. And served them on the table.
He went to his room and woke Adiana.
"What ?!" she asked in an irritated voice.
"The food is here. Go get freshen up. Dad is returning home. You cant be like this," he said
She woke up unwillingly. Her legs are not listening to her. They turned to jelly and she almost lost her footing when she kept her leg down.
Fortunately, Edward is there to catch her in time. He made her sit on the bed.
"I will fill the tub," he said and went inside the bathroom. He filled the tub and checked the temperature in it. When he felt it was the right temperature he came out and carried her.
Adiana felt her nerves are calming down.
"Did you add any kinds of oil in this?" she asked.
He nodded and pointed to the side. There she saw rosemary flavored scented bath oils. She closed her eyes and soaked in the water as it felt very calming.
After she was done bathing she came out and quickly dried her hair. Meanwhile, Edward reheated the food again as it cooled down.
They both had their food and went to do their work.
Meanwhile....
In the CR corporations...
Chasina is looking through the documents that Alonzo is showing to her. She asked him and German to get their works to her office these days. So, that it will be convenient for them to deal with the work.
And they can train them more conveniently.
The evening went smoothly.
German and Alonzo are funny people. She learned he is a good comrade. It's a pity that he didn't follow in his father's footsteps and become a soldier. Anyway, he becomes handy to her.
She reached home with her tired body.
She saw her brother, SIL, father, and everyone was at home. She went to her room and kicked her shows aside. She threw her bag to a side and slumped on her bed.
When she heard her SIL voice she got up and went to the bathroom and got freshened up.
She had her food and then slept like a baby.
Next day….
Chasina reached the office…
Chasina arrived at her office quite early. She was more than half an hour early. She decided to learn things more. She decided to read the files of previous projects and their development and their economy. With these thoughts, she made her way to the office.
Early in the morning when she asked Laura to come along with her she said she is a lazy bum. So, she will arrive on time.
By the time she reached there, she saw an uninvited guest in her office.
The uninvited guest is in his black suit. He has a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles. He looked young but he had a pale face. His body is lean and weak. He looked like he might blow away just with a single breeze. He got up from his seat when he saw Chasina. He took his crutch and walked over to her to greet. He limped while he walked.
She is surprised to see his presence. She is very much surprised. She is in shock for a few seconds.
She composed herself in a short time and a small smile blossomed on her face. She took a few steps forward and extended her hands intending a handshake.
"I never expected to see Mr. Elijah here. What a surprise?!" she mused. She retracted her hands from him.
"I don't think you didn't expect me. I think you are waiting for me to deal with the bug in your company," he said as he raised a brow.
"Hmm, I'm counting on that. But didn't expect to see you here," she said truthfully. She walked to her seat and sat. After that she made a please be seated gesture asking him to sit.
He sat and kept his crutch aside.
"So, what does Mr. Elijah want from me?" She asked with an amused tone.
"Nothing, I will be taking over my role from next month. And I hope you won't get involved in killing that bug. Can I hope that?" He said.
"Yes," she replied.
"Then I shall take my leave now," he said.
"But…. I don't think you can't just say this," she said.
She narrowed her eyes at him. He can say these things over the phone too. After all, given his condition, no one will mind. And she is not even looking forward to his help or to meet him.
These days she doesn't want to meet anyone. She has enough to meet new people. She doesn't want new people more and remembers their faces.
"You can say all these things over the phone. But you especially chose to come here to say this personally. And that given with your condition I don't think it's easy for you to come here given with your situation. Please state your motive clearly," she said with a 'smiling yet not so smiling' face.
She hates to spare time with people who have motives. She disdains them.
Even though he is sick he came over to meet her. She won't believe it if someone says that he is here to make a small 'talk' and tell her his 'decision'.
And as a matter of fact. He has to take over his position after all. If he can't he has to sell them.
There is no need for him to tell her. That too he came over very early and waited for her even before the staff started coming.
She came forty minutes early. And by the time she came he was already waiting. That means he came along a long time ago.
Which means he has some other motive. Coming early only to ask her to stay out of the thing in which she didn't bother is something suspicious.
There is no need for a man to wait for her to say these things. She is not a kid dude if someone says that he just came here to say these things.
She is a person who dealt with countless criminals. She handled many tough nuts and cracked the cases. She can say what they are thinking with a single glance. But the man before her is hard to say. He looked dangerous.
She just stared at him calmly as she joined her hands and placed them under her chin.
Her pink lips curved upwards into a dangerous smile.
Her eyes turned into deep slits.
Elijah looked at the woman before her. She had a warm yet dangerous smile. Her smile is just a facade. He knew she was being scornful towards him.
When he heard she made Brutus kneel and made him chant that he is the real dog. He felt amused. He found her interesting. And also he heard the details of the board members' meeting.
No one would dare to threaten people so openly.
But she did.
She did without any fear.
She did without any hesitation.
The more he heard about her, the more he became interested in her.
He made a background check on her. And finding her is not hard. After all, she is an open book to the public.
He knew about her relationship and her called off the wedding.
And her incident. And he is not surprised when she directly hears her retortions with the media. She is not even scared of the media.
She directly agreed she had power and what they can do to her. She challenged them to fight with her openly.
The more he learned the more interesting he found.
He curled his lips into a deep smile and he revealed his white teeth. His eyes turned into a crescent moon shape.
He gave a dazzling smile to her. Even though he is crippled he is still handsome. Given his handsome features and his wealth women still want him. There are still some women who are willing to get into his bed.
"Nothing, I found you interesting from the rumors. And wanted to meet you. That's all. Thanks for your time. In taking my leave," with that he got up from his seat and took his crutch and left.
Chasina just raised her brows at him. And then shrugged off. Whatever motives he has he will have to give them up.
