Episode 2

It’s 12:29 and yet Rachel hasn’t arrived. I was waiting for her in the waiting area. I had decided to shower and dress quickly in hope not to upset her so I could get my rest of the day off cause she was planning an evening with her fiancé. I wore a blue floral sundress to match my mood with light blue heels and nude makeup.

“Hey, you already here?” Rachel startled me as she came from behind.

“Yeah, I just arrived”

Rule no.1- To stay in boss’ good books- never tell them they aren’t punctual. By the was she was late by 15 minutes.

“You aren’t coming darling?” she asked as she noticed I wasn’t following her.

“Just behind you”

“Better be quick”

There was a limousine waiting for us. The ride to our destination was unusually silent. I wondered what she was upto as she usually isn’t a silent person.

Then she suddenly spoke breaking my chain of thoughts,

“Ivy, I hope you to be at your best there. No unnecessary comments or in fact no words at all if possible. I'm telling you this cause this is your first time as my asst so you better remember.”

“Yes, Rachel I’ll keep that in mind”

“And ya address me as 'Ma'am “

Woooah…

“Yes’ MA’AM” I said.

We reached our destination. We were welcomed by Mr. Walter’s secretary.

“Hello, Welcome! you must be Mr. Walter’s guests” he said

“Yea we surely are” Rachel responded curtly.

“Please this way ma’am”

We followed him. I was mesmerized by the view of the restaurant. It had beautiful chandeliers hanging from the ceiling.The waiting room had sofas with small tables. There was a cafe or I suppose a dining area opposite to the waiting room. We were in the lobby was the last thing I remembered cause the next minute I realized that I was lost. There was no one around me. I started walking in the direction I came from in hope of finding someone.

I was still awed by my surroundings when suddenly I was hit hard by something on my forehead. I lost my balance. I closed my eyes in fear of hurting myself, but I never touched the ground. I realized someone was holding me. I slowly opened my eyes only to be dazed by the same pair of ocean blue eyes staring at me. Yeah, how can I ever forget these eyes. They belonged to the person who was my sole reason of survival till date. Tears started beaming in my eyes.

“Are you ok?” he asked.

I couldn’t respond all I could say was “Rihaan” it was more of a whisper.

“What?”he seemed confused. Didn’t he recognize me? Had he forgotten everything?

He released his hold on me. His expression seemed a cold one. In short no expressions, no emotions, nothing.
