You can point out the mistakes 😊

Liza's P.O.V:

It had been a week since I re-join the company and everything was going smoothly.

It was too smooth actually.

Might be James was serious when he had said that he will not bother me but he was still James and I knew he would never change.

Everything was going at a normal pace.

James was behaving like a responsible CEO and I too was giving my hundred percent to the company.

Three weeks went by like that.

That day I didn't have any work so I was sitting in my office idly.

We have submitted the agreement papers last day and after that we didn't have any more project.

Has he really changed?

Why is he keeping the distance?

Even when I go near him he doesn't show any affect like before.

I thought I would be able to make him feel what he felt for me but now I am confused.

Maybe he wanted you to be his assistant only and nothing more.

He wanted you for his company.

But...

I am quite sure he wanted....me too..

And I .... I mean there was a little thought of mine that he liked me...

I stood up from my seat and started pacing around my office.

Maybe I was wrong... He never liked me..

He treated me like a b**** and now he is behaving like a sincere man just because he doesn't want me to give up the job.

God! Why am I taking this too serious?

Do hell with him!

I don't care about him..

I don't care about his feelings..

I rubbed my forehead in frustration and suddenly the door opened.

"Is there any problem Miss Miller?" It was James.

"No." I said in a flat tone.

What is he doing here?

"I think you need rest. You can go home as there is no more work today."

De javu !!

Is this repeating? Or my brain is not working?

God! Liz you really need rest.

I took my purse.

"Thank you Sir." I said and went out of the door.

*****

It was Sunday and I was getting bored. I was living in an apartment which looks like a guest room and to my surprise I haven't met a single person in this building.

It was a two or might be three storeyed house. I was living on the first floor. There were more doors on that floor but I haven't seen anyone coming out from there ever.

I was fed up with the bored environment.

I went to the balcony and removed the heavy curtains.

I could see a pool as usual but there was someone for the first time.

I looked at the time and it was only six in the morning.

Is he planning to go to the pool in this morning? And even when it is Sunday?

I prefer sleeping the whole morning on a Sunday but today is the exception as I am not feeling sleepy anymore.

He opened his shirt to reveal his physique.

He was a well built man but not too heavy, he was perfect.

Perfect like Jam...

Sh**!

He is James Ashton.

What is he doing here?

No.. could it be...

Does he live here?

I went out from my apartment and tried to open the other doors on that floor.

I knocked several times but there was no response.

What is going on?

Am I the only person living in this floor?

No way! I have heard noises from one of the room.

I went to the second floor and there was a single door on the left side and two doors were on the right.

I opened one of the door.

Sh**!

It is damn huge!

Wow! Amazing!

The room was one of the most beautiful room I have ever seen. There was a king size round bed at the centre. The walls were given an oval shape..no the whole room was oval, there was a huge plasma at the front wall. The walls were covered with heavy white curtain in a curved rod.

I shuffled the curtain aside to see the attached cupboards.

I wanted to open it but I stopped my self.

On the other side of the room when I removed the curtains, I saw a door.

I opened it to discover a huge bathroom with attached walk in closet, there was a huge bath tub and even there was a couch and a small table. I went towards the table to see a bottle on it. It was opened.

How can someone drink at this time?

I came out from there and went to the other door.

Whoa!

It was an elevator. I went further to opened the elevator door.

I tapped the first floor.

I opened the door, there was another door, I opened it too to see the huge gym.

Why is everything so huge here?

Please...don't let it be his...

Please God! Don't do this to me...

My heart was beating fast. I didn't want to accept what my mind was telling to me.

I picked up the towel lying there.

I sniffed it and it smelled just like him.

I put it back then opened the side door.

It opened to a corridor and there was only one door at the opposite wall. I opened it too.

Oh..

It was my room.

That meant there was only two room on that floor, one was mine and one was the gym room.

I wanted to know more so I returned to the gym room and went back to the elevator.

I tapped the third floor which was also the last floor of this building.

Wow!

It was a terrace garden. The whole terrace was covered with grass but there was a narrow pavement too. There were so many beautiful flower pots and plants. There were some bonsai trees too.

I love it...

I smiled at the scene infront of me. I liked nature more than anything.

I abandoned my sandals and preferred to walk on the soft grass than on the hard pavement.

It was amazing to be surrounded by such beautiful plants and greenery.

The sun was shining brightly, the birds were singing their morning songs, I closed my eyes and took the fresh breath in.

BANG!!

I jolted at the sudden interruption.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Nice question. Why am I here Mr. Ashton?"

"Go back to your room." He ordered.

"Not now. I want to spent some time here." I went to sit on one of the tools which was on the either side of a small table.

"It.is.my.terrace." he said through his teeth.

"Oh I see. But..you know you can change and came back to your garden..I mean terrace." I said not looking at him.

He didn't even bother to change. He was still in his towel.

He walked out from there after realising his attire.

Why James?

Why am I living in your house?

Even if you... like me.. this doesn't mean you can do anything with my life.

You should have asked me first.

Has he done it intentionally?

Why he kept me in his home?

He said that I was going to be living in an apartment alloted by the company...

The door suddenly opened to reveal him.

This time my eyes were not leaving him. Though I was not wanting to look at him but his attire caught my attention.

He was wearing a loose grey T-shirt with black jeans.

Please don't ask me how he was looking then...

He coughed and that caught me off guard. I almost stumbled at the unbalanced tool.

He held me by my arms before I would have fallen down.

"Stand up." He said and I obeyed.

Good going Liz!

Now you proved him that how much he intimades you.

I stood and he was still holding my arm with one of his hand. He placed the tool on the grass.

"You should be knowing where you would be comfortable and safe." He said. "Now sit."

And I sat back on the tool.

I was about to asked him a lot of questions but that little act between us flushed out everything from my mind.

He took the other tool and sat. He put the bottle on the table, which I didn't saw till then.

"It's still seven in the morning." I told him.

"So?"

"You should not be drinking now." I said.

"I already had my breakfast at five." He said taking a sip.

"Still it's not good for your health."

"What are you doing here?"

Wow! Change of topic.

"You tell me, why am I here in your house?" I asked looking into his eyes.

He was looking back at me with a little frustrated look.

"Because there was no vacant apartment available.." he shrugged.

"The whole month...you have been living here?" I asked feeling hot suddenly.

"Yes."

I was really feeling uncomfortable. After knowing his feelings towards me, I shouldn't be living in the same house with him.

"I..I..don't want to live here anymore."

"You don't have any option." He said and stood up.

"I can live on my own. I can rent an apartment if there is no apartment available at..."

"You will live here." He said it aloud and started walking towards the elevator.

I stomped towards him clutched  his T-shirt and forced him to turned around.

"Either you listen to me or else I will do whatever I want." I challenged him.

"What can you do?" He chuckled which caused my blood to boil.

"I will resign the company and not only that I will case a file against your fake contract papers."

He narrowed his eyes.

"I don't have time right now. I will be leaving in an hour. We will discuss it after I returned after three days." He said looking at me from head to toe.

"It is not appropriate for you to wear your night dress and walk in the terrace at seven in the morning."

He said and left me speechless.

Sh**!!

I almost forgot about my attire and even I was wearing the worst night suit I ever had.
