Avery's POV
What are you doing over here?
Mrs. Jones, Is this the way to greet your guest? You disappointed me. I thought you will hug me as it has been ages we have met each other.
Get Lost.
Nah.. Not before meeting your precious daughter.
I heard some faint noises as I opened my eyes to see the commotion going on outside my bedroom but my head started spinning again so I sat in a half lying position placing my head on the head rest and again closed my eyes.
The knob of my bedroom door opened but I still didn't open my eyes because I didn't have a single ounce of energy in my body.
" Hey, Avery. How are you feeling now? I come to know about your health so I thought to visit you in person. " Caleb Sir asked me as he came inside holding a bouquet of red roses along with a bunch of chocolates.
My body become numb watching him in my house especially in my bedroom all of a sudden. I just kept quiet without uttering a single word glancing at the greek god sitting right beside me on my bed in his three piece Armani suit.
" Avery... What happened? " He asked me creasing his eyebrows in a frown.
He placed his hand on my forehead to check my body temperature which made me come out of my thoughts.
" Uh. Yeah.. Yeah. I am fine, sir. Um.. How did you get to know my address?" I asked him sitting straight on my place.
" Well.. Maybe you forgot that you are my assistant but I am still your boss and I know each and every detail of my employees. " He chuckled as I started feeling guilty.
" Sorry, I know I was desperate for this job but didn't even show up on the very first day. I.. I- " He didn't let me complete my sentence as he shushed me by placing his finger on my lips.
" It's fine.. I am not complaining. I know you were in hospital. You don't need to apologise. Okay? " I nodded while he came closer towards me and placed his soft lips on my forehead and a shiver ran down my spine which led my eyes to shut automatically feeling the utter bliss.
After two minutes, he detached his lips from my forehead and gave me his beautiful smile.
" Look what I have brought for you red roses and dark swiss chocolates. " He told me giving me the bouquet and chocolates.
The divine fragrance of roses lit up my mood and the sight of chocolates made me forget all the yuck that I had to eat after coming from the hospital.
He was busy glancing the interior of my room as I spoke:
Dear Love,
Red is the colour of love and danger too. Do you know, why? Huh.. Leave it. Don't stress your brain too much. Let me tell you. Because love itself is quite dangerous. It will make you beg for the deeds you had never done and will make you forgive for the things they had always done.
Just like I am doing right now, forgiving you for throwing my gifts like a trash.
But always remember that you can never throw my love for you, which is behind these gifts. Because my love, my love for you is something which is beyond anyone's imagination and whether you like it or not, I will always be,
Forcefully Yours,
Secret Admirer
His eyes darkened as he shifted his gaze towards me and roughly grabbed my shoulders.
" I knew it. I so knew it that it was only you. Now tell me why are you sending me those letters? " He demanded as his hold on my shoulders tightened.
I blinked my eyes multiple times to understand what he was saying.
For few minutes, my mind was completely blurred.
But soon his loud voice broke me out of my reverie.
Looking at our posture my whole body become numb. In between his yelling, he didn't even realise that he has made me sit on his lap.
I could literally feel his irregular heart beats along with the burning rage inside his body.
I have never seen him from this close. His hazel brown orbs perfectly radiating some hidden emotions, his rosy petals ready to pounce on me with his harsh words, his light french beard making him more masculine, his pointed nose flaring in extreme anger and his perfect jawline being cherry on top of the cake.
" I am asking you something, damnit" He whisper yelled while clenching his jaws breaking my trance.
" Wh.. What Sir? " I stuttered.
This man over here is too dangerous for my health. While checking him out, I even forgot what he was asking me at the very first place.
" Why. Are. You. Sending. Me. Those. Love. Letters. And. Gifts. " He emphasised each and every word gritting his teeth.
" You are speaking in the same way she speaks. I mean writes. " I glanced back at the bouquet and then to him.
" Because I was reading the letter which was placed in between the roses. " I replied showing him that letter.
He snatched the paper away from my hand and started reading its contents. After reading the letter, he shifted his gaze towards me giving me a blank look.
" Somebody has sent these roses and chocolates to you with so much love and here what you did, you gifted that back to me. You have not hurted her feelings but mine too by giving me gifts of someone else.
How can you stoop so low, Sir? " I whispered blinking my tears which were ready to shed anytime. He sighed and rubbed my eyes with his thumb pad.
" These.. These roses are for you only. I don't know how this letter came into this bouquet and didn't mean to hurt you. I am sorry. " He murmered as he hugged me tightly.
" Really " I asked him reciprocating his hug while he nodded.
" But I am quite familiar with this handwriting. I have seen it before too. It's just that I am not able to recognise it. " I told him unwrapping my hands around his torso.
