Episode 11

I set the file on his table and walked out of his room before he came. My eyes were burning because of the lack of sleep I had last night. It's not my work but still, he made me do this.

I went to my office and locked the door behind. As usual, I set all my things on the table and sat on the chair. I have no will power to work because of my burning eyes.

As time went by my eyes started to close willingly as it has its own sense. I let out an uncountable yawn within a minute. Unable to keep open my eyes, I laid my head on the table and my eyes closed immediately.

I should have fallen into a deep sleep because when I woke up, I saw a tall figure standing in front of my table through my sleepy eyes.

I jerked away when my mind alerted that someone was standing in front of me and all my remaining sleep was faded as how it came. I rubbed my eyes and took a good look at the figure.

But the next thing crossed into my mind was, haven't I locked the door in the first place? Then how come a person could enter my office without my knowledge? I don't think I opened the door for them while I was sleeping.

I again looked at the figure and put my head between my palms. Oh God! Why him?

"Do you have any manners? Or do you want to learn it from anyone else?" I asked irritatingly. He folded his arms against his well-built chest and narrowed his eyes at me.

"Miss Kader, everyone is waiting for you but you are enjoying your time here. Aren't you?" He asked meeting my same irritated tone.

I clenched my jaw but soon it clicked my mind that he has a point. I would have slept over time.

"You should have informed your P.A or someone else to wake me up. I don't think it's your job, sneaking into someone's office" I said calmly.

He raised his eyebrows and turned his head towards the door. I followed his gaze where he was looking and regretted for asking the stupid question.

Juliet and some other new faces were standing near the door. Probably they would have tried to reach me out while I was sleeping like an infant. Shit! How Stupid I am. How could I forget that the door was closed? They can't open it except him. He has everything in his mobile.

I still remember the day when he unlocked my door with his own software where I was trapped inside my room for half a day, unconscious. He has a thing called magnet that he created when he was in the first year. The magnet takes control of the lock once it placed just above the lock on the door and he gets the easy access for the lock. And he used it for one time, maybe twice a time if I add the earlier incident. He has many software on his phone that he uses for his own needs. He won't use others and won't let them use his.

Okay! I have one more way to accuse him and prove myself.

"Then what for phone Mr. Miller?. At least you have to drop me a message about the meeting or else give me a call. Otherwise barging into someone's door is not an appropriate thing."

"Really!! Miss. Kader. Then please check your phone." I blinked and stood there for a second.

Oh God! What if I got a text or call from him. Of course, I am going to die out of embarrassment. I took the phone from my purse and scroll down from top to bottom.

I let out a long sigh. "See! I didn't receive any text or call about the meeting." I showed my phone to him. Sure he won't catch me red-handed. If he thinks he is a genius then he must have forgot the thing that I'm smarter than the whole universe.

His facial expressions hadn't changed a bit and I wonder did he see me deleting all the calls and text?

No, he wouldn't have. He was ten feet away from me, so there is no chance. I convinced myself. Before I came back to my sense, the phone in my hand was snatched away by him.

"Give my phone back right now, Mr. Miller." I shouted from my lungs. But he didn't respond instead he showed my phone and I gulped down.

How did he do that? I had deleted the call history and messages before he snatched the phone. But now it was back on the screen as I didn't erase the history.

Ahh!!! Again I forget that these things are under his fingertips.

Someone, please Kill the technology first and I will kill him later.

"Okay! I lied. I am sorry. Give my phone. I will be there in 5 mins." He dropped the phone on my table. I mentally cursed him and went to take my phone but before I could reach the table he took my phone and smirked.

"Who is this? Your childhood pic?" He asked raising his one eyebrow. Second times in a day my heartbeat thundered against my rib cage.

I set Sweety's pic on my wallpaper. He must have seen it. No, it won't happen.

"Everything same... but... the eye colour..." before he could finish his sentence I grabbed the phone from his hand and put it into my pant pockets.

"Can you please leave? We have to attend the meeting." I reminded him, hoping he would let go of the matter.

As expected He turned his heels and walked out of my office. "Shhh!!" I heaved a heavy sigh. I splashed the water on my face and relaxed a bit.

After that, I went to attend the meeting which took 2 hours to end but all the time he was looking at me but this time something flashed on his face. What happened to him? Such a bipolar.

"Riya, may I ask you one thing?" Juliet asked when we seated on the chair around the table for lunch.

"Yeah! Sure." I replied.

"By chance, do you know Kayish before you come here?"

"No" I answered without hesitation.

"You sure?" She asked again.

I nodded my head and shoved food into my mouth.

"I think he has some interest in you." I chocked all my food and coughed a little when I heard what she said.

"What do you mean? No way!!" I raised both my hand in the air.

"I don't think. He was looking at you the whole time when he had given a speech."

"Juliet!! If someone is staring at you for a second, that doesn't mean they have fallen for you."

"Then what about the earlier incident? He has personally invited you to the meeting. If he wants he can tell me to inform you, but he didn't."

"So?"

"So, he wants to see you and came with a lame excuse, saying about the meeting." she shrugged her shoulder. Then she squeezed my hand.

"Riya, he has a dark past. Be careful with him." Her tone was serious. I raised my brow at her.

"Well... Everyone has one." I muttered but she shook her head.

"He used to date every new model after his arrival from the UK where he has studied.

"Last time when I checked out, he dated with a new model, Chole Flyer and they officially announced their engagement. But when she got pregnant, he started to ignore her.

"She fought her best to claim her rights back, but he said he didn't have sex with anyone when he was in a relationship and also file a case on her.

"Two months after the incident, she agreed that the baby was not his and he let her free.

"From that day he didn't date with anyone and now I wondered why he is showing a sudden interest in you.

"They all said he is a gay. That's what I too think until... he sets an eye on you." she trailed off.

"Juliet, it's all your imagination. I think you are right, maybe he is a gay." She looked at me with wide eyes then we both burst into laughter but which was faded in a fraction of second.

Her eyes scanned something behind me then she stood up abruptly. I looked behind and saw him walking towards us.

"Miss. Hamen I have been asking for you a file since the morning but you haven't submitted it yet." He folded his arms and looked at her accusingly.

She seemed to think for a bit and her facial expressions clearly saying that she has no idea of what he was referring and I know it's one of his games to get rid of her from this place.

"Sorry boss, I will check." she excused and walked away. After she went I grabbed all my things ready to leave, but he grabbed my hands and stopped me from my track.

"Let me go. Don't ever touch me." I gritted my teeth.

"You know what, you are so sexy when you get angry," he said maintaining his calm tone.

"Just shut up! You idiot." I spat and walked away.

"Riya!" Juliet came partially running towards me, holding a phone in her hand.

"Riya, I received a call from Sweety's school. They said they had informed you about the incident already but got no response from your side."

I furrowed my brows. When did I get... Shhh! I should have deleted their message too. Ahh! It's all because of him.

"Juliet, I accidentally deleted all of them. What did they say?" I asked her.

"Someone pulled Sweety from the hallway and she fell down, her hand has lightly broken." The moment felt like someone is squeezing my heart mercilessly. All my hair in my body stood up as my motherhood got a wake-up call.

"No... No... No... No!!" Screaming, I ran out of the office and drove my car to Sweety's school. When I reached her school, Mrs. Kean who is the class teacher of Sweety, led me to the medical room.

Once I entered into the small room which I assume was an emergency ward, I saw my baby was lying on the bed, the giant bandage was wrapped around her hand. All of a sudden I found it's very difficult to breathe. Seriously, no mother would wish to see their daughter in this situation. And I saw a boy who was sitting near her side holding one of Sweety's hands through my teary eyes.

Yesterday, I saw him at Kayish's office. Who is he? My head became to spin around. "What's going on here?" I asked to Mrs. Kean.

She started to explain what was happened in the school and how they ended up here in this situation.

"Mrs. Kean where is Karen?" I heard a familiar voice followed by the footsteps which are approaching us.

"Uncle." a boy ran towards him and I turned around. When our eyes met, he let go of the boy's hand and walked towards me.

"Mr. Miller, Karen is safe but the girl has severely injured." Mrs. Kean informed him. He looked at Sweety for a second and looked at me.

"What is she doing here?" He asked looking at me. Tears are pooling down through my cheeks and I am not bothered to wipe it away.

"She is Sweety's mother, I called her." Mrs. Kean informed. In a fraction of second, his features changed as it was one of the unpleasant news he had ever heard in his entire life. He narrowed his eyes at me as I was the reason behind his business loss, yeah! You heard me right! A freaking business loss, cause the only thing he cared about is his business.

"Is that true? Are you a mother?" He asked daring me to say yes.

I inhaled deeply and let out a frustrated sigh. "Yes, I am. Do you have any problem, me having a child?" I asked. His face paled suddenly for an unknown reason, he averted his gaze and looked somewhere but me.

"Mommy." I heard my angel's voice and ran towards her. He cursed something under his breath and stormed out of the room like a heavy wind.

"Hey, baby! Mommy is here. Don't worry." I combed her hair through my finger. She relaxed a bit and scanned the room.

The boy named Karan came and sat on Sweety's side and held her hand. They both shared a smile and I concluded that the boy must be Kayish's sister's son and the storm is waiting for me.
