chapter 15

My hand stopped. My bread was just a milimeter away from coffee layer. I removed it immediately. And looked at him. He started laughing. I got embarrassed. But it's the first time I'm seeing him literally laughing out. Even if he chuckles softly they are not genuine. I ignored his laugh and focused on my breakfast. After sometime he stopped and said, "Sorry. But it was.. was really funny." He started laughing again. Why is he still laughing? The joke is already over. If he wasn't the owner of my company I would have punched his face. I controlled myself. Finally he was tired laughing. Then he asked, "Would you like me to drop you at office?" "Umm.. no.. it's okay. I can go by myself."He left a sigh. "Are you serious?""Okay I will come with you." I replied and got up from my chair. He called someone. And said, "No need to come today... Yeah.." and hung up the call. I was washing my dishes. He came near me and kept his dishes."I will wash mine. You go and come down within 15 minutes." He said. I nodded and came to my room. I took my bag and came down after sometime. He was wearing grey blazer over white shirt. I wore my overcoat while approaching him. He started to walk out. I followed him. After sometime he was in the driver seat with his luxurious car infront of me. I sat beside him as he told me to do. The ride was silent except some phone calls he attended. We reached office. I came out of the car and waited for him. As soon as I saw him nearing me I started to walk towards our cabin. He called me from behind in his cold voice, "Aisha!" I turned towards him. He came running beside me. I asked, "What sir?""Come to my cabin in 5 minutes." He ordered. I nodded and left the place. I kept my bag in group B room and took a pen and my yesterday's design. I don't know why he is calling me. I was infront of his cabin door. I saw time. Perfect 5 minutes, I knocked the door, "May I come in sir. It's Aisha, Group B." He answered, "Yes come in." The receptionist was standing near him. He asked her to go out. Now only both of us were in the cabin. "Sir why did you asked me to come here?" He took a deep sigh. And ordered me to sit on the chair infront of his table. I took my seat."Don't you want others to know that we are currently living in the same house?" He was staring at me. His gaze was intense. And it was difficult to understand what his mind wants. "I thought you want such..."He cut my words and said, "No one will speak behind your back. You don't need to stress."I nodded, "okay sir! Was this the only work?" "No... Ester wants to talk with you."I got surprised. "Who is Ester?""My brother's fiancee." He said in his cold voice. I nodded. He handed me his phone. I heard the ring. It was on speaker. After sometime the voice came, "Hello Ashton.""Miss it's Aisha...."She interrupted. "Yeah yeah.. Aisha.. actually I wanted to talk about my wedding gown.""Okay miss. You can tell what type of gown you want."She told some details. I was surprised that she didn't wanted skinny gown. Instead she wanted floral round one. I noted every details. "Okay Aisha. And if possible select some light pink dresses for Bride's maid." "Okay miss. I will give my best for it." I handed the call to Ashton. He spoke up, "Okay Ester. She noted every thing." "Yeah Ashh.... By the way she is so..." He removed the speaker and touched the phone to his ears. I thought she was saying something about me. Why didn't he let me here it? This man is so mysterious. He hold the call for sometime and ordered me to go back. I came back. I saw Edward coming. I joined him. ****At the lunch time, I waited for him to come. I texted him if he wants to come. He replied and told me to wait. After sometime I saw Chris coming near me. He asked, "Did you had lunch Aisha?""No sir. Ashton sir has said me to wait for him." He smiled and nodded. Atleast this time, it was Ashton coming. I finally relieved. He came and directly went to sit. I followed him. We took our lunch. And I sat infront of him. He asked, "How was your day?""Fine." I said calmly. "Do you feel that anyone is talking behind your back now?" I turned around to see whether someone seeing us. Obviously many of them were looking at us. I ignored his question. After sometime he asked, "Have you thought about design?"I nodded. Atlast we ended doing our lunch. As soon as I reached our cabin. Olivia and Edward came rushing over me."Wow Aish.... You didn't told us anything... Why??" Olivia shouted."Don't assume anything wrong." I answered.Soon Hazel called both of them and told them my situation. I focused on work and drew my final design of wedding gown. Everyone left. And now I got his call. I picked up. "Come down. I'm waiting for you.""Okay sir."I rushed out. He was standing infront of the entrance leaning on his car. Sudden energy filled my body after seeing him. I ran more faster. He smiled at me. I smiled back at him. I was running like a little child so I forgot that I am wearing heels. I was just three feet away from him near the carpet infront of him. My heel got stuck into the corner of carpet and I lost my balance. I was about to fall. But he stepped front and supported me. It was the first time my eyes met his grey eyes. I felt heat in my cheeks. He got leaned on the front of car holding my waist. My hands covered his neck. Butterflies giggled in my stomach. And a charge flew my spine sending shivers through the body. This moment I never expected. ________________________________________________Stay tuned ♥️
