Chapter 2

I was too busy with many works including the new branch in France. Some old men were still in a doubt that I was really capable of my decision of new branch in France. I asked my dad about this. He said to follow my heart. That's enough for me. My dad wasn't against my decision. So, I don't want to listen to these old men naggings. I just leaned to my chair and closed my eyes. I feel really tired.

I opened my eyes when I heard the sound of door opening. By watching at the person my eyebrows twitched and I looked at her annoyingly.

" Hey babe! " She called me.

She's Sarah. She's a daughter of a millionaire who born with silver spoon. Her father was my dad's college mate. From what I heard this girl's father never talked to my dad when he's an employee with little income. But they become friends when my dad become a successful entrepreneur. Don't you think this is so funny?

Sarah came near me and sat crossly on my desk. I looked at her with an irritating look.

" Babe why didn't you come to Mr Chris's engagement party. I had waited for you. Do you know that? " She asked me with a husky tone.

" Have I ever told you to wait for me? " I asked her.

She leaned her head near my ear and touched my shoulder.

" You haven't but I'm the one who insisted to wait for you. Afterall I'm soon to be your girlfriend. " She told me smooching my cheek.

I pushed her and stood up from my chair and I rubbed my cheek harshly. If possible I want to remove that feeling too. I don't know why I used to get a weird feeling whenever she touch me. When she's around me I remember my mother who I hate the most.

" Babe don't be like this. I will be hurt. " She told me with a pout. How gross.

" You better leave now. " I told her showing my dissatisfaction about her behaviour.

" Don't be mean baby. " She told me walking towards me.

" Phineas " I shouted my friend's name.

Within a minute he rushed to my cabin. Seems to be he have been waiting for my call.

" you don't want to leave right. Fine, then I'll leave. " I told her grabbing my suit and walked out of my cabin.

" I thought you'll call me as soon as she came. " Phineas says to me while driving the car.

" Do you have her father's number? " I asked Phineas.

He gave me his mobile.

" I don't know you'll be prepared in advance. " I told him smirking.

" Of course I'll. You are not only my boss. You're my friend too. So, I know about you more than anyone. " Phineas told me and focused on driving.

I called to Sarah's father Mr Aaron Hamilton. Since I'm calling him with my company's mobile it's okay for me.

[" Hello! " ]

" Is it Mr Aaron Hamilton? " I asked that person.

[" Yeah, who's this? " He asked me.]

" Hi Mr Hamilton. I'm Ryan Richards. " I told him

[ " Hello, Mr Richards. I didn't expect that you'll call me." He told me. ]

" Sometimes situations makes us to do something we don't want to. " I told him.

[ " Anything wrong? " ]

" Yes, there's wrong with your daughter. She has been following me from a very long time. I told her I'm not interested. But she's still following me. If you don't want me to handle this myself you better handle it yourself. " I told him.

[ " Okay, Mr Richards. I'll talk to my daughter about this and I'm sorry on behalf of her. " He told me. ]

I just hang up the call.

" Do you think he can stop his daughter? " Phineas asked me while parking the car.

" I don't know. If he can't, then I'll. " I told him.

We both came into our house. Today Phineas haven't came in his car. So he'll wait for Chester for a while. Chester and Phineas are living together.

Yup, Chester and Phineas are lovers since we're in university. That's the reason he feel annoying whenever Phineas called him Mr Chester. I feel so funny about them. Chester also works in my company with me. But he's not someone who will stay at same place. So, Chester mostly works outside like meeting the clients and dealing with them. Though Phineas behaves like tsundere type, but still he cares about Chester more than anyone.

" Oh hai Mr Phineas. Long time no see. " Aunt Zoe said to Phineas.

" Hello Aunt Zoe. How are you doing? " Phineas smiled and asked her back.

" Yeah I'm good. By the way where's Mr Chester? " Aunt Zoe asked Phineas.

" He told me he'll be in fifteen minutes. " Phineas answered her.

" Aunt Zoe where's dad? " I asked aunt.

" He's in his study room. He haven't came down since morning. " Aunt Zoe said with a sad voice.

" Don't worry he'll eat with us today. " I told her and came to my dad's room. My father's bedroom is in ground floor and connected to his bedroom while mine was in first floor and aunt Zoe's room is beside my dad's room.

When I came to his study room I saw him looking at somewhere outside. He didn't even turned his head and I turned to where he's watching. I stood near him and looked at the window. Outside the window there's an old man walking with his granddaughter. The little girl smilies widely while talking to her grandfather.

" Dad " I called my dad.

He turned to me surprisingly.

" Why did you come early today? " He asked me.

I just smiled and sat on the arm rest of a chair holding my dad's hand.

" Why can't I come early to have dinner with my dad? " I asked him.

He smiled to me.

" What are you thinking? " I asked him.

" Nothing. Ryan why don't you get married? " My dad asked me.

" Dad haven't I told you already that I don't want to. " I told him.

" But you should have someone beside you son. You should have your own family. " Dad said.

" Dad you, aunt Zoe, Chester and Phineas. You guys are my family. I don't think other than you I will have a person as a reason for my existence. " I told him.

" But Ryan... " I stopped my dad.

" Dad I don't wanna discuss about this anymore and you are going to have dinner with us today. " I told him moving back to his wheelchair and held it.

Dad sighed. By the time we came Chester was talking to aunt Zoe while placing his hand around Phineas's neck in dining area. They all turned to us and my friends greeted my dad.

We're having dinner together after a long time. I really like this atmosphere around me. See how happy I am with them. So, why the hell I need a life partner and moreover what if I get someone like my mother.

" Ryan I wanna tell you something. " I came out of my thoughts when Phineas said.

I nodded my head.

" I want you to meet this kid. " Phineas told me.

" What do you mean by a kid? " Chester asked him.

" Listen there's a kid who came from ' The Real Stories ' magazine was really cute and the aura around that kid gives you warm feeling. " Phineas said staring at me.

" Why the hell you are talking about him this much? " Chester asked him

" Don't be jealous. I was just saying about the kid. " Phineas told him. I just smiled watching them.

" Ryan why don't you give interview for that kid? " Dad asked

" Dad you know that I'm not someone who likes to give interviews and fond of publicity." I told dad.

" Recently you have been stubborn more than before. I don't want to talk to you anymore. Zoe take me to my room. " Dad told Aunt Zoe after saying that to me.

" Don't forget to take your medicine. " I said to dad.

" Yeah, yeah I know that. " He said before going into his room.

" Your father is sulking. " Chester said.

" I know. Don't worry he'll talk to me in the morning anyway. I'm already used to his behaviour. " I told him while smiling.

" What do you think about that kid? " Phineas asked me again.

" I don't want to meet him. Whoever he's I don't care. " I told him.

" You are really being stubborn. " Phineas sighed.

" Are you staying today here? " I asked them. Sometimes they used to stay here when we have work.

" No. We're going back. We have some personal work. " Chester answered me while nuzzling into Phineas neck. Phineas just slapped his shoulder.

" If you are done just get out. " I said giving annoying expression.

" Yeah we're leaving but think about what I have said about the kid. " Phineas said before leaving with Chester.

I just smiled looking at them. They behave like a lovely couple when they're outside the company but when they're in office Phineas will have dead fish face. I would like to watch him to talk in a causal way in the office too. You know I feel awkward when he talks to me formally.

And talking about the kid he's referring to I'm not interested to meet anyone. I don't want to meet someone like my mother and make my life miserable.

...................................................................................................

The next day I didn't come to office like always instead I visited my dad's advertising agency. But who would have thought that I'll see this woman here. She is the woman who's irritating me recently the most.

" Hey babe! "

" What the hell are you doing here? " I asked Sarah.

" Have you forgotten that I'm a model? Ofcourse I'm here for a shoot. " Sarah told me.

" Who appointed her for this shoot? " I shouted and entire floor became silent.

" Excuse me sir I was the one who asked her for the shoot. She once told me she's your fiancee. " Steven the coordinator of the shoot said.

" Who the f*ck told you she's my fiancee? She's not even my friend. And you how dare you to reveal yourself as my fiancee. " I asked her.

" Of course I'm dare enough. " She said.

" Enough. Steven after this there's no need to call her again and everyone remember she's not my fiancee not even a friend. She's just a model. Now get back to your works. " I said and came outside the company.

I drove my car to my company. While I was walking through lobby I saw a boy sitting on a single sofa with hands cupping his own face. I don't know why does I felt I was relieved from all my tensions and suddenly I feel my heart was beating very speed.

Who's this kid? Why does my heart was pounding like this?
