Be aware of my Panther

Episode 15

I reached my office while everyone gave me a look as if I’m an alien from another planet. Asher was at my office going through some documents. I greeted him as I entered the office and my secretary gave me a coffee as he usually does. I sat in my swivel chair and twirl around looking at the amazing view while a knock on the door make me turn back.

Yes, come in. Mam! Your breakfast, he said while giving me a box full of steamed stuff buns with some Almond juice. Asher looked at me as he knows that I never eat breakfast at office. Either I eat at home or most probably I skip it.

Who gave this?

I stood up suddenly and looked down from the huge glass window when he said a man with helmet requested to deliver it. It was Zavier. He was waiting there for my reply for the breakfast. How did he know I didn’t have breakfast?

I looked at him with my two hands on the glass window standing on a tip toe to get a clear view of his face, just like seeing a snow in a summer season. I’m not sure why I feel this confusing way about him.

I nodded my head when he gestured me to eat and flew away in his bike in a twinkling second. Asher chuckled at my childishness. Seems you are happier after the marriage. I know he would sure tease me.

Weren’t you shocked when you came to know he is the groom, like I was shell shocked? He said by walking towards me.

Indeed I was shocked when I know he was the second son of Oakley but not at the marriage, I replied while he squinted at me confused. I knew it two days before the wedding but he thought he was going to marry my sister and asked me to elope with me.

What? He was shocked to hear the word “elope”

I explained him everything while his eyes were wide open with the chaotic mess happened at home. That’s no good for a first wedding night he sighed while chewing a bun.

The bun tastes good. Aren’t you goanna thank him? I pouted when I realized I don’t have his number. I quickly took my phone and dialed Mila to ask his number.

Hi Amelia! She gave a cheerful greeting

Hi… with a low hesitating voice I replied. I couldn’t bring myself to ask his number. I don’t know why? May be I am shy? I started to ask some unrelated questions, she might probably think I’m a stupid.

How’s your work going on? Yeah, its good she gave me a quick reply.

Ummm… Why don’t you join our success party next Friday? Sure Amelia. I already got the invitation you sent me.

Oh! Did I! I thought why not call and invite you to show my sincerity. I was just blabbering…

That’s so sweet of you. Don’t worry I will be there, her reply was quick didn’t giving me a time to think for another question

ummm… I … I stuttered. What if she thinks I don’t even have my husband’s number or what if she thinks I’m being too…

I will send you the number… before I could ask another unwanted question she replied me…

What? i mean how did… no… whose number.

She laughed at me; I thought you called me to ask my brother’s number seems I’m wrong, ok then ill hung up now… when she was about to hung up I said a loud “NO” I … do need his number.

Hahaha…

I was embarrassed while Asher and Mila both were laughing at me. But how did you guess? I asked her.

That’s because my brother did the same thing today morning when he was asking your number. What? He too asked my number

To say, you are far better than him. He was asking how am I doing, how is my work, how is my health an all … After a tons of unusual question he asked for your number, my face was blushing when I thought he did the same as me…

I hung up the call while someone knocked at the door. Its Fiona… she always appears and disappears as she wish. She was there for the event but disappeared for my wedding.

Hi Asher … she greeted him while coming close to me. Hi volcano, she gave me big hug while I turned my head away from her. I know I know… I know you are angry at me for not attending your wedding…

I’m sorry dear. I had a cover shoot in New York and I couldn’t miss it. Pleaseeee forgive me, she tried her best to coax me and it worked.

Fine… ill forgive you, I said looking back at her.

So how is your marriage life with the Ex CEO of Oakley Group? huh… she asked while leaning on the couch.

WHAT? Asher and I yelled at the same time.

She was startled with our loud voice. Why are you both shouting?

Wait… Don’t tell me you don’t know your husband is the EX CEO of Oakley enterprises.

I shook my head as well as Asher. Oh Man… Are you serious? She sighed at us.

As you said you were going to marry second son of Oakley, I did a little investigation on him. Your husband “Zavier Oakley” used to be the CEO for more than five years. He was just seventeen when he started to work at the company. Soon he became a prodigy at business.

Even though Oakley enterprises are known among the country, he is the one who made the whole world recognize the name. He expanded and developed his business overseas which mad a huge turning point for their company. But for some unknown reason he was removed from his position three years ago. He was also kicked out of the house until you both got married he returned again.

We both were awe struck listening to her. I was so confused, as to what made such a tycoon to work at a small organizing company. I wanted to know more about him.
