chapter 40

Elsa entered the room where Neville was. Her eyes were teary but she didn't show it. Again the fear of abandonment made her scared. “Neville?" Elsa called out to him in a low tone. She bit the one end of her lip softly and looked at him. She didn't want to say it all infront of Grandy, or else everything would be over for him. He really wished for Nevile and Elsa to be together. “What is it Elsa?" Neville enquired by pressing his forehead with his two fingers of his right hand. “I just want everything to go how it should." She said again but in a lower tone. “What do you mean Elsa?" Neville asked again. “I want you to come in out ..." She said instantly after a short pause. “I need to know something , something that is really bothering me." Elsa added, and exited the room, Neville went behind her. Grand dad was still sitting on the bed, and knew that there was really something off between the both, experience had told him all that.Elsa was standing in the living room, where she saw Venessa. Neville had alredy come there ready to listen to what Elsa was going to say. “What is it Elsa? I have a lot of important work need to be done, so please make it a little quick." Neville said hurriedly. “Neville a last request ... Mai we go to our room and speak?" Elsa asked softly. “Elsa I need to prepare a presentation, I am getting really late .... Please do it fast! Come on!" Neville said again. “okay!" She came closer to him and whispered, “are you getting engaged to Elena? Tommorow?"  Elsa asked in disdain. “What? Engagement? Are you insane?" Neville yelled all baffled about what he had just heard. “Neville soft ... Venessa can hear it." “Why? Why will I speak softly? Wow! So you want me to get engaged to Elena now? Anne that too tommorow... So that you can date other men? Nice? How much money do they throw on you?" Neville asked gritting his teeth in anger. “Goan Times: Denver Borges: A top tier business tycoon of London has arrived. He has three fragrances parented under his name. Known to be down to earth and work in the company along with his lowest to lowest employees... Welcome Denver Rayan Borges." It flashed on the TV, so loudly that it made Nevile's voice inaudible. Nancy had put on the T V that loud to stop grand dad from hearing anything. “Nancy! Nancy! You dumb fool just turn down the volume of the TV I know that you want me deaf by the end of the day." Venessa yelled loudly amidst the commotion. Nancy denied to reduce the volume, so Venessa strutted towards her room. Nancy closed senior Lobo's room door and decreased the TV volume. “I ... I ... Am sorry for the inconvenience cause but it was all for senior Lobo." Nancy said in a low tone. Neville didn't bother to look whome Elsa thanked Nancy politely.  “Neville listen to me ... Neville ... Anne told me this, she told me that you and Elena are getting engaged tomorrow." Elsa said in a soft tone. “But how can that be possible? We haven't even got a divorce and right now I am even conf .... Nothing you don't need to know that." Neville sighed. “Okay so let's go there tomorrow and get out divorce processed in a fast track court. But I am not going to get engaged that quickly." Neville said with a dark look on his face. Elsa said “ok!" As though she was going to lose the biggest part of her life. Neville strutted out side with anger in his eyes. He paced out with his mercedes. ...“Anne! Mrs. Anne Rosewood! Who are you to decide alone that when I'll get engaged to Elena... Shouldn't it be our mutual decision..." Nevile screamed at the large door of Rosewood Villa. Elena looked at him from the top window of her room. Anne opened the door. Allen wasn't at home, as he was away due to some important business trip. “Ah ...  haaa ... Neville Neville ... Welcome." She said with a broad smile on her face. Neville entered the house with a dark look on his face. “Sharon ?" Anne clapped calling the housekeeper. The young maid came there quickly. “Sharon please get Sir Nevile a glass of fresh orange juice." Sharon nodded and left, to get the juice. Elena came running down to see Neville. “Neville ... I understand you two are still young, and your divorce with Elsa have been proceeded yet." Anne said in a calm tone....“Can we get straight to the point Madame?" Neville said, and looked at her darkly. “Keeping your divorce aside, Allen and I have thought to get you engaged to Elena... I mean not a big party just your few friends and us. How is it? Either tomorrow or whenever you want..." Neville wasn't in a mood to decide these things without grand dad's consent. “but ... B ... But I need to inform grand dad regarding this." “huh! That old hag?" Anne chided Elena pressed her lips and looked at Anne with fat eyes. “uh. ... Uh ... This is a sensitive matter for him I guess. Sorry Neville, I mean Allen and I will convince your grand dad, there will be no issue about that." Anne said with firmness in her tone.... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Elena quietly looked at Anne mess things up for her. “Uh ... ... ... No not yet, first let me wrap things up with Elsa only then I can move ahead with Elena!" Neville remained adamant. “So so so ... Please call off the engagement ..." Neville added. Anne remained submissive and Elena looked at Anne darkly. Neville strutted out of the house without even looking at Elena. ... “huh? How can he call off the engagement? I promised Allen! Bt any cost it will be held tomorrow infront of all the guest now!" Anne smirked.
