Chapter 66 - Gamble

Tuli was working very hard to meet a deadline. Her boss Lisa was getting on her nerves. So she silenced her cellphone.

That was why she missed dozens of phonecalls and text messages from Ruhan.

After leaving Tuli at the restaurant, Ruhan returned home only to learn that he had to attend an official program with Lisa. Some foreign investors were visiting the main branch. So a program was held to welcome them. Naturally as Mr. Ahmed's eldest son, he couldn't shake of his responsibility.

As Lisa's secretary, Tuli was also bound to be there.

This news made him panic. He also planned to let Tuli know about his real identity. But this was too soon. He had the feeling that Tuli hadn't fallen for him too hard. If he had let her know that he was married, she might have distanced herself from him. All his hardworks would be wasted then.

But he didn't have any other way. He had to accelerate his plan.

He waited for Tuli to call him first. It would mean that she liked him enough to choose him over her pride.

But to his disappointment, she neither called him nor texted him.

'Damn it' Ruhan cursed. Like boss like secretary. None of them were easy to deal with.

Meanwhile Lisa also threw him out that night earlier than usual. She had to work hard. There were some important projects under her. Now that the foreign investors were coming, she had to give her best to show her capability.

Seeing her working like this, Ruhan pondered for a while and decided to text Tuli first. Afterall this was for his own benefit. He had to swallow his pride and look at the bigger picture. If he could sabotage Lisa in front of those VIPs, the damage to her image would be beyond recovery.

With these thoughts, he sent many texts and called Tuli several time. But she didn't pick the phone.

This made Ruhan doubt his capability....again.

'Am I becoming too old?' Ruhan thought to himself.

'Am I losing my charm here?'

He looked at the pink mirror he prepared to piss Lisa off and touched his face.

'Nope! Handsome as always. So why does my charm doesn't work on that damn girl Lisa and her secretary. '

Ruhan sighed again and prepared to sleep early. Tomorrow he had to get up earlier than usual and sneak into his bedroom(which Lisa had forcefully occupied) to steal some of Lisa's make up.

He had to make his face look haggard.

Ruhan had no time to waste. Though he didn't like to take unnecessary risks, this time! Ahe had to take a gamble.

He had to meet Tuli tomorrow and show her his best performance. He would reveal his real identity and try to manipulate Tuli to co-operate with him.

Then, whether she would betray Lisa or not would depend on how deep her feelings were for Ruhan.

Or,

How much greed she had for wealth.
