Mending The Heart - You're Mine

Chapter 4

Wilson Group of Companies

" The meeting is going to start in next 10 minutes. So, let's finish our work fast and reach the conference room before the devil fires us from our job." said one of the employees placing his files in the drawer and saving the presentation on which he was working since last five days.

" See, it's going to rain anytime soon. The weather is so cloudy, who works in such a romantic weather. " said the other employee with complete annoyance on her face.

" But alas! we don't have any other option. You know that he wants everything to be perfect, very perfect. Now, Let's go there. " exclaimed the first employee amd soon everybody rushed inside the conference room. There was a huge hustle bustle going everywhere but suddenly all stopped seeing one person coming inside. Everybody greeted him and he too wished them back.

" Good Morning, Ladies and gentlemen. So, let's start the presentation for which this whole meeting is organised. " The manager announced to all the staff members.

The employee started presenting his ideas unaware of the danger that he is going to face after a few seconds.

The main motive of this meeting was to crack a new deal on which Wilson Company was eyeing on since a few weeks. Suddenly a loud noise of broken glass pieces was heard and the whole ppt board was converted into multiple pieces of glasses. Everyone got scared and were unable to analyse what happened. Their trance got broken by a sharp and loud voice which was of none other than the CEO of the Wilson Group of Companies,

Caleb Wilson .

" Is this you call a presentation? Are you a student of 10th standard who has been given a school project on marketing? Those students are much more creative than you. You are working in Asia's top business company and here you are showing me this shit." I yelled on him with bloodshot red eyes while  gritting my teeth and his face flushed with embarassment. Now, my anger was on peak. I thought he is a talented guy and know his responsibilities very well that's why I had given him such a big responsibility. But no, he is just like other people; careless, irresponsible and good for nothing.

" You are fired. " I spated these three words on his face and left the room.

" No, Please sir. I will make another one. I won't disappoint you next time. Please don't fire me from this job. I really need it. " I heard him say as I was going towards my cabin.

I stopped in my tracks and without turning my back I said " Business runs only on profit. There is no place for emotions here. So, stop your emotional drama. You are not capable enough that's why you are fired. In my company, surival of only the fittest can take place."

I reached in my cabin which is decorated as per my taste. In every corner of the room, it was a black white theme and in the centre lied a huge U-shaped mahogany table having four cabinets and big king size chair. There is a huge glass window on one side of the room which shows the mesmerising view of this beautiful city. I sat on the chair and opened one of the drawers and picked out a photo frame and started caressing it.

" You know, love, how much I am missing you. It has been two years since I have not seen your face, heard your voice, inhaled your fragrance and touched you like eternity. I wish I could have you back."I sighed and kissed on the photograph and again placed it in the drawer.

As I was busy doing my work, I heard a knock on the door. " Come in" I ordered.

" Sir, somebody has sent you these chocolates and roses. " My peon told me and placed it on my table. My fingers suddenly stopped working on the keypad of my laptop and my eyes shifted towards those gifts, a sudden gush of anger rose inside me. I got up with a jerk pushing my chair backwards and picked out a card from the bouquet.

Dear Love,

It has been six months since I am sending you your favourite dark swiss chocolates and roses. I know you must be wondering that you hate flowers especially roses then why I always send them. But love, roses are my favourite and by keeping them around you, I feel like I am also near you. Moreover, they are symbol of love and my love, my love for you is infinite just like your hatred for them.

Have a beautiful day ahead!

Yours lovingly,

Secret Admirer

" WHAT THE CRAP? WHO THE HELL IS SHE? " I yelled and threw those chocolates and roses in the dustbin after crushing them and lit fire in the dustbin. My whole staff gathered outside my cabin. It has been my daily routine since last six months. Initially, I avoided her but now she is getting on my nerves. No one dares to mess up with me and here she is making me crazy. I heard some whispers and rushed outside to see my staff gossiping and whispering among themselves. I just glared at them and they instantly resumed their work.

" DD, Come inside my cabin now." I called my personal assistant. He immediately appeared out of nowhere.

" Yes Sir, How may I help you?" He asked me.

" I had asked you to find out complete details of this girl. Where are the details?" I questioned him trying to control my anger.

" Which girl, Sir? I didn't get you." He looked at me totally confused.

" DD, do you have any short term memory problem or what? I am talking about that girl who claims to be my secret admirer. " I whisper yelled at him gritting my teeth. I was already so exhausted and now this DD is eating my brain.

" Oh! That lover girl, Sir. Yeah! I have found out a lot of information about her." He said smiling sheepishly.

" Then what are you waiting for? Christmas. Show me the details fast." I mocked him and started biting my nails. This is my habit, whenever I feel nervous then I start biting my nails but why I am feeling nervous. I immediately held my hand back from my mouth.

" Sir, her name is Valentina Thomas. She studies in Rosemary School of Business and is soon going to get married with her boyfriend, Oliver Evans. She aspires to become a model but her would be in-laws are a little bit orthodox. Right now, she is in London preparing for her wedding functions. " I heard him say and soon my brain started working with 1000 km/hr speed.

" If she is soon going to get married to her boyfriend then why she is sending me those gifts. Moreover, she is in London right now but this gift has been sent to me from this city only. So, either she is cheating on her boyfriend or there is someone else who claims to be my secret admirer." I concluded from his statements.

I shifted my gaze towards my mobile and there I saw a message from my friend Drake.

Moonlight Lounge, 9pm sharp

" Now what does he wants from me." I sighed.

Avery's POV

The whole day, I was so busy that I didn't even realise I have still not talked about it to Dadda. As the trio of us, were busy munching the snacks and in between talking about random stuffs. I decided to blast the bomb.

" Daddaaaaa, I want to ask you for a permission? " I asked him in a sugary coated voice who was busy watching some news on T.V.

" Permission for what, Chiku? " Now everyone shifted their gaze towards me. I was so nervous so started munching my french fries.

" I want to work and gain some work experience. Moreover, I still have three months vacation so there won't be any problem. " I stuttered while asking him.

" Um..  Then you can join our company from tomorrow onwards. Jayden will teach you everything. Happy Now? " He asked me smiling and placed his hand on my head.

" Now, it's time to break the bomb". I thought.

" No, Dadda. I want to work in Wilson Group of Companies under Caleb Wilson . I know Bro is best and will teach me everything in the best possible manner but with him I won't be able to gain real work experience. He will pamper me there also and won't be bossy around me. Moreover, everyone knows me there. They won't treat me like a normal employee. But if I will work with Caleb Wilson then I will be able to gain real work experience. I want to become independent and this can be only possible if I work with Caleb and everyone knows that he rules the business world." I uttered everything in a go with my eyes closed.

When I didn't hear any single word from him then I opened my eyes just to get a tight slap on my face from Dadda. I was beyond shock. I thought that they might scold me for not working under anyone else because I am princess of my house and princesses don't work under someone else. But this slap was not expected and what shocked me more was the silence of everybody. I placed my left hand on my cheek and tried to speak something but was cut off in between by Dadda.

" Don't even dare to open your mouth. You have already spoken so much. Now, not even a single word. Leave." He yelled on me clenching his fist. I still stood on my place trying to decipher what happened a few moments back.

" LEAVE, AVERY" He shouted.

" You were not like this Dadda." I whispered. My eyes turned teary and I ran inside my room.
