The CEO's Secret Wife

CHAPTER 19: WANT TO SHOW THE WORLD

It was the day of the meeting and it was supposed to be a lunch meeting. The CEO's of the major entertainment companies were going to be a part of it with their models.

The meeting was supposed to be happening just for the models to brief them about the project but since Ranvijay announced that he was going to be a part of this meeting himself for a huge change, other CEO's were left with no option other than to attend the meeting. Everyone wanted a chance to talk to Ranvijay about their companies and about RR INTERNATIONAL collaborating with their models and companies.

Everyone was shocked with the fact that why all of a sudden Ranvijay Rawat decided to attend a mere meeting like this,even his own subordinates but no one dared to question his decision.

Ranvijay came back to the town just the previous night and in these past two months it has became a habit for him to talk to Tina whenever he was free, and at night before going to bed for sure.

He liked sharing his day with her, talking to her till they both dell asleep and many times it happens that they both keep there phones near their pillows and fell asleep leaving the call connected and disconnecting the call the next day only after wishing each other 'good morning'.

Ranvijay realised that whatever he was feeling, was no less than love for her. He felt scared to hurt her, whenever she cries it causes pain in his heart more than it would have hurted her. He always wanted to do his best to make her happy. But he was also aware that he would be the reason of her heartbreak whenever she will get to know the reality, but he would make up for it, he could not let her leave him now.

He admitted to himself that he fell from head to toe for her.

He won't allow anyone to hurt her now and would do anything in his power to not let her know the truth that their relationship started with.

Tina's POV :

It was almost the time of the meeting and just after an hour I had to leave my house for the so-called meeting.

I had no mood to show up in the meeting and was thinking about what Ritika told me, that Ranvijay could let me skip the meeting and no one would question my presence if he would just brush off the topic of me not being in the meeting.

Exhaustion of working for one month straight without any rest was one reason of not wanting to attend the meeting. But, the other and the most prominent one was Ranvijay himself.

I was sure how capable he is to make me go insane with jealousy. With the time together I have already realised that how much pain it can give to your ass if you go out with him. Every other girl or lady is staring at him, eye-raping him. And that too they do in public, without glancing my way that I mm still waling besides him holding his hand, and if some does notice my presence with my own boyfriend, they stare me ilke that they would kill me any moment now.

I swear to God, if stares could kill I would be under six feet already, or should I say the with the seething death glares I receive when with him, till now I would have reached the core of the earth!!!

And I am quite aware that this is the same thing going to happen inside the conference room with Ranvijay in it. When ladies outside the Industry who doesn't know him stare at him like he is some delectable meal they would like to have for their dinner, then how could I expect from the models of the industry to not go all drooling over him.

Ahh..!! It's damn frustrating that you know everyone is staring at your own boyfriend and to be more precise legal husband but you can't do anything but let them do so.

I was still contaminating what to do or not when my phone rang, subconsciously I knew who it was and answered it without even looking for the caller ID. And I was right again, it was him.. my clingy enough boyfriend

"So, lunch before the meeting or after the meeting??" he asked directly

"Huh.? Isn't it supposed to be a lunch meeting? Means lunch is going to be with everyone in the meeting right?" I asked unsure of his question

"Ya, it is supposed to be but if you are hungry we can have lunch before but remember you are going to have lunch with me only today!! And that's final."

"Umm, I wanted to ask you can I skip this meeting?? But lunch is a done deal still, I'll come to pick you up after the meeting is over, please..." I almost used a tone that I am also not aware that I can speak.

"So, are we ditching the meeting? Then lunch can be coupled with a long drive and dinner and a movie, what's say??" he questioned me, leaving me suprised by his remark.

"Are you attending the meeting just because of me?" I asked completely ignoring the other half of his reply.

"What it looks like, obviously yes!! I don't attend these meetings but this one is different you are going to be there" his statement took me off guard completely.

"Ok, then forget it I'll attend it only, and this way I can aslo see if you are interested in some other model or not? Maybe you can find a better one" I said sarcastically

"Haha, trying to piss me off, but my baby it's not this easy, I can't and don't want to find someone better than you, because my love for you is a never ending process." he used again his cheesy lines to mess with my heart and he knows he gets sucess everytime.

There was silence on the call for next few minister because I couldn't process what to say to him.

"Ahh,.. what do you expect me to reply to this??"

"Nothing, just always remember your love is all I need to feel to complete. You are enough for me, all I need in my life is you and your love." he sincerely said.

"So, you are confessing your love to me over a call?" I teased him.

"After all this time, now you realise that I love you.!! But still no I am not yet confessing it to you, you can forget about what I said just now. Ill tell you what I truly feel when all the defences of your heart are down.

Now see you at the meeting. Bye.."

Ranvijay left me all thinking about the way he would confess that he actually do love me.

But meanwhile the question to attend the meeting or no still hung in mid air, he clearly told me that he is attending only because of me and would ditch if I ditch with him. A part in me wants to attend the meeting and see how Ranvijay actually works, his aura while in the office, how others treat him and how he is actually to the outside world. And the other part in me wants to play a prank on him and elt him attend the meeting without informing that I am not coming and then suprise him with the weekend getaway I planned for both of us, directly after the meeting.

It was going to be our first vacation together and I was highly excited for it and more about the fact that Ranvijay had no idea about it. So I decided to stick to the plan of playing a prank with him and not show up for the meeting and tell him the same when he would already be in the meeting room.

Ranvijay's POV :

The meeting was about to start in ten minutes and I was in my cabin, anticipating how would it go.

I was never the nervous kind of guy before but with Tina going to be in the meeting I was getting nervous for no reason. It's not like I was going to present in the meeting or anything else but I was still a nervous wreck.

And I was amused to, because of the fact that Tina already mentioned her jealousy over other models who are going to be present over there and not to mention I really love to piss her off because she looks cute when she is angry!!!

I already knew that all the models check me out, they want to be with me not for me but for my money, reputation and power. They think if I would be with them, then their careers would be sky high, but they still don't know that I am already taken.

Taken for a girl who loves me, not my power and money. Who cares for me, and not just see me as a prize which would help her achieve heights in her career. I always knew Tina was different from the rest but with the months of knowing her I am more sure about it. In these months, she never asked me to be their for her in her career, she never asked for my help and always made sure that I can't help her any way even if I want to. She just needs me to be there for her emotionally. She just needs someone who could love her, care for her and be with her. And that's what drew me more towards her with each passing day.

I was lost in my thoughts when a knock came on my door brought me out of my trance. It was Ronit my assistant.

"Sir, the meeting is going to get started. Everyone has arrived and waiting for you." he told me.

"Ok, I'll be there in a sec." I told him to relay the message inside the conference room.

I was already getting excited as hell to finally able to see Tina after two damn whole days.

For the first time ever since I started as the CEO, this is going to be the first meeting I am going in hell nervous and excited at the same time and not to mention in a meeting I am not required at all. It was just to be able to see Tina and let her see how I work and how different I actually am with others.

I opened the door of the conference room and went straight to my chair and after sitting I scanned the entire room, but Tina was no where to be found and though I have already guessed what had happened still I wanted to make sure I am assuming right.

"Is everyone here, so that we can start the meeting? Umm,..." I trailed trying not to sound desperate "according to my head count one person is still not in the meeting, who is it?" I asked seriously, but he'll I already knew who is not here and now I regret why am I here and why couldn't I understand the playfulness in her voice when she told me that she would definitely show up.

She was surely messing around with me, and had already planned not to show up. No issues baby girl, you are defined going to pay for playing with me!!! I thought to myself.

"Sir, it's actually a model from my company, she said she had not been feeling well today so, she can't show up" it was Pranay speaking and with his tone, I knew he was hell angry over Tina and that made me angry on him.

But before I could say something to him Yousufa butted in, ohh!! how much I despice this woman.

"Sir, actually her name is Tina, she said she has been tired and not feeling well because of working continuously for some days, so she could not attend this meeting irrespective of the fact that you yourself are going to be here." she tried her best to make me angry.

But I remembered what Tina told me over the call, will I protect her over here, can she trust me with this. And I intend to prove myself.

She never asked me to favour her and help her, but now she was right. She must have this much privilege to use my power to skip a meeting and I would definitely not let anyone defame her atleast not infront of me.

So I brushed off the matter and asked the presenter to start the meeting.

I was not able to concentrate on what's going on in the room and was absentmindedly playing with my phone a it vibrated.

It was a message from Tina.

"Hope you are enjoying, being the centre of attraction. Guess, you defended me infront of everyone, and for that thanks. If you won't find anyone more better and suitable for you then after the meeting I would be waiting for you on the road opposite to the office building. I have a suprise for you. And sorry, for ditching the meeting. It's a pain to watch everyone drooling over you."

"How many times do I need to tell you that if I choose you once there is no looking back!! And waiting for the suprise." her one text was enough to lit my mood and now all I was thinking was about the suprise and the one percent attention I am paying to this meeting is also gone out of the window.

And now I also knew my biggest weakness is I can't be angry with her for long time.

As soon as the meeting ended I was ready to go out, but soon the models approached me introducing themselves and the other CEO's started to talk, but I wasn't interested in any of these as the girl I wanted to be with right now badly was waiting for me outside.

I made several excuses and instructed Ronit what to do and that I might not come back to the office now as it's Friday and the weekend follows. He was already aware that I was going out with Tina and would make excuses as required for me whenever i was with her.

I went out straight only to found her in her car, but no one can see who's inside clearly because of the tinted windows and I was glad for that because I am now going to make her pay for ditching me out there.

I already knew I was being looked on, all the CEO's that came with the models were leaving the building and were looking at me to get any hint whom I was talking to.

And now, I want to paly with Tina and that's for sure.

I went near the car opened the back seat door and started taking off my suit jacket that I was wearing. There was when I realised that there were two suitcases in the trunk and that we were supposed to go somewhere.

That was the first time I glanced at Tina since I came near the car, and asked her out of curiosity.

"Are we going somewhere? That too without my knowledge?" I raised my brow at her.

"Yes, now can you please come in!! I guess you are aware that you are being watched." she said eyeing everyone on the opposite side of the road.

I already knew there were a lot of people and that to be precise a whole lot of gossip mongers. And I am giving them a content paparazzi would kill each other for. My love life.

"Ranvijay, do you really wish to show the world that you are with a girl and make me everyone's enemy" she was now getting annoyed and I was loving it.

"You know I can't replace you with anyone, because no one is like you."

Till this time I had already taken off my jacket and got rid of my tie and loosened the shirt I was wearing before opening the door of the shotgun.

I opened the door but .add sure no one would be able to see who the girl inside the car is. But then, after looking at the mirror I realised some models were walking right up to me and I was in no mood to entertain them now plus I didn't want to blow our covers yet.

Tina definitely saw the change in my expression and smirked, I ignored her and hopped in the car and motioned her to start the car but she didn't.

And now I know I am going to be on the spot now, Tina was in just a few seconds ago.

"You, wanted the world to know right. So, let's just greet the people coming our way" she smirked

"No, please let's just leave baby. I am in no mood of letting them know about us like this." I defended myself

"No, now we are not moving." she laughed at my reaction.

I must have looked really terrified right now with the way she was laughing.

But all the anger and fear I was feeling vanished seeing her laugh with all her heart.

I felt a sudden urge to kiss her forgetting the people approaching us and now the media reporters that were also present.

I pulled her close landed my lips on hers making her completely shocked.

Uhhg... how much I longed for her to feel her next to me, having her in my embrace and kissing her that's all I need.

I need her, she is like my oxygen supply.

Our tongues played with each other, the second it met, we fought for dominance and I let her win.

Truth to be told I like her being dominant, to own me, to make me fee. I am wanted in her life as she is in mine.

When we pulled apart I turned my head to see the people standing there in horror, like they have seen a ghost. As expected reporters were clicking pictures and the look on the faces of the models were worth watching.

The most horrific look was on Ronit's face and seeing him I couldn't contain my laugh. Till the time I snapped my head towards Tina to gesture her to see Ronit she had already started the car and I let out a sigh of relief.

"Finally, so where are we going?" I asked her as I was really curious about this.

"Staycation" was her brief answer before we hit the highway and out of the worries of this world for some time.
