Love-Paradise…
The sun had already risen up a long before. But still the two sleeping figures were in their own dreamland because of them sleeping almost in dawn.
Reuben blinked for a few times before finally waking up. But the first thing what he did was to check on his love who was completely sprawled upon him...
They both were in their birthday suits with only a duvet covering their n.a.k.e.d bodies.
Reuben smiled at Veronica and tucked few of her hair strands behind her ear before kissing her forehead which had made her wiggle in her sleep.
"Good morning Ms. Fiance." Reuben greeted Veronica who was trying to snuggle more into his arms.
Veronica placed a chastise kiss on Reuben's bare chest and whispered in a hoarse voice, "Morning, Mr. Fiance."
Reuben kissed her on the head when Veronica also tilted her head up to look at him as she gave him a lazy morning smile.
"Come on, get up now babe. Today is a special day for us. We can't be late to entertain ourselves, right?" Reuben joked.
Veronica gave him a goofy smile and replied, "Yeah. You're right. After all, it'll be no fun if I can't roast all those idiots of city B together."
Ruffling Veronica's hair, Reuben got up from the bed with his all n.a.k.e.d glory while Veronica just drooled over her fiance's s.e.xy body.
Reuben arched an eyebrow playfully at her and said, "Lets be a responsible netizen of the world and save water by bathing together."
Veronica laughed out loud while shaking her head at him and said, "Yeah…yeah. I exactly know how much responsible of a netizen you are."
Removing the blanket off her body, Veronica stretched her hands toward Reuben and said, "Pick me up."
Chuckling at her cute behavior, Reuben quickly picked her up and went inside the washroom to have a hot morning make out session...

Dining room...
Veronica and Reuben were having their brunch on the next day as they both had woken up from their slumber really late. Moreover, they had also wasted a hell lot of time in their bathroom activities..
"Babe.. I got some work to do. Can you please go alone to Fusion today? I promise I'll be there before the drama gets started." Reuben said while sipping his orange juice.
"But babe. What kind of work?" Veronica asked with her brows furrowed.
"Nothing much darling. It's just I've to discuss some matters with Tom about a client today." Reuben said smilingly.
Though Veronica was a little bit suspicious at first but she shrugged her shoulder, thinking why would Reuben lie to her when the surprise party had already ended.
So Veronica nodded her head and replied, "No problem. But you need to reach there without any delay."
Reuben grinned at her pointed look and stated, "Sure, Love."

After their brunch, Reuben left with Tom who had came there to drive him towards the destination...
"So did you find anything?" Reuben asked in a serious mode as he leaned back on the backseat.
"Yes Boss. As you have guessed, everything came out to be exactly that way." Tom replied while Reuben faintly smiled.
He was somewhere relieved in his heart but at same time anxiety was killing him inside.
Till he saw the person by his own eyes, he couldn't get any rest properly. He was just praying that he got succeeded in whatever he was going to do.
This one successful venture of him would not only bring a smile on everyone's faces but also a lost star of their universe would start shining again...

One and half hour later…
Reuben stepped out of his car and faced the two storeyed big ancestral house which seemed to be quite old but still was beautiful.
Buttoning up his suit jacket, Reuben took a deep breath and walked towards the large door along with Tom.
As they reached in front of the door, Reuben finally got the courage which was lacking previously and rang the calling bell.
They waited for a few minutes but there was no response from inside which made both Reuben and Tom curious as they shared a glance between them.
"Wait Boss! Let me try once more!" Tom said while Reuben just nodded his head.
Tom extended his hand and was about to press the bell when they heard the sound of someone's footsteps inside.
Reuben held his breath as he waited for the person to unlock the door and true to his wish, finally the door got opened and came a huge gasp from the other side...
"Hi Lisa. It's nice to meet you again." Reuben greeted her with an obvious smirk on his face.
Lisa who had just opened the door, couldn't believe her eyes to see Reuben right here at her doorstep.
The shock was not because of her seeing Reuben here after few hours of their meeting. But it was because she was hiding some secret in this house...
Or more like, someone was hiding himself from his family and friends in this house willingly!!
Lisa soon covered her shocked expression with a forced smile so that it didn't look suspicious to Reuben...
But who could fool Reuben Smith??
He didn't become the topmost and wealthiest businessman of the world without no reason!
His power of looking through people's eyes to know if the person was telling truth or lies, being secretive or not and his amazing conversational skills led him to sit on the throne of the most successful youngest businessman of the world..
"Uhmm… Reuben, what are you doing here?" Lisa asked sweating profusely.
Reuben gave her a smile and asked trying to be innocent, "Will you not welcome us in your home or planning to make an inquiry about us right here?"
Lisa chuckled humorously and said, "Uhmm, no.. Please, come in."
Reuben and Tom entered inside the house while Reuben scrutinizing every bit of the architectural design but he didn't miss to see the anxiousness of Lisa.
"Lisa, who was there at the door?"
