Nora's POV
As the streets passed, a creepy thought would land up in my brain where I am dead with blood flowing like river. No amount of shaking head or telling myself to calm down was helping. Whenever I looked at Ray he would appear to me as a grim reaper.
Now the streets didn't look like street, it appeared to me as the clouds floating around and me in a train going inside the gates of heaven. Thinking about leaving everyone suddenly made me think of every second I didn't spend with my family busy with my work.
I wanted to cry and tell them personally how I love them all. Suddenly my side of door was pulled open resulting in a loud scream thinking worst part of my life. I heard someone laughing , when I looked up, Ray and a guard outside a glass door were laughing on me.
I pouted out of embarrassment. When I got down and looked up saw the most popular 'Kings' written with cursive greeted me. This restaurant have to be booked prior a month to have dinner, that's what I heard from one of my colleague.
"Shall we?" Like prince from the fairy tail, Ray asked me my hand. With hesitation I placed my palm on his warm ones where the glass doors were opened by a guard. The first thing that greeted me when I was inside the dining room was silence.
No men or women were here. "Why is no one here?". I asked Ray where his smile stole a beat of my heart. "I wanted alone time with you so I booked whole restaurant." His words shocked me. Is he that serious about me? 'Just live in the moment'. The words from 'A' echoed inside my head.
When we both walked further the restaurant interiors, modern design, the type of the lights they used were marvellous. There was another thing that caught my attention was the small chandeliers placed above each table.
Suddenly everything turned dark except the chandeliers and the candles placed on each table. "Choose a table." Ray's voice brought me out of my admiration thoughts. I searched for the table and everything looked same so I randomly selected a table where he took me.
Like a gentleman he made me sit on the chair. A soft music came into life, when I saw it was being played at the centre of the restaurant. When the order was placed, we were welcomed by a comfortable silence.
"Say something" Ray said expecting me to say anything. "You made me miss my sleep. This is the second time you made me miss my sleep. I know you are a CEO, you have responsibility of whole company but you should not think only in your point of view. You should think...…." When I noticed his face has turned from excited to a monkey having fever. I knew I made a mistake.
"Sorry I said a lot of things. Thank you, I never stepped in this restaurant and now I am here only problem is my outfit. If I take a selfie then the others will think I morphed a pic." I looked down where the napkins were placed and I decided to use it.
"Don't take pictures to impress others, take it for keeping a memory. Whenever you see a pic then you recall the things happened on that moment of time. By the way sorry for disturbing your sleep. Next time I will keep this in mind." his words were measured, at the same time our order arrived.
We had our dinner with little conversation but whenever he told about himself or his family his smile was real like he is really content and happy with it. Now he didn't call me Nora instead he called me cherry as my cheeks turn red if I am exposed to cold. Little did he know my cheeks turned red due to his continuous flirting.
I might have hated him and thought he is the worst person, but now when I see him, instantly his words make my cheeks hot. I think he is not good but not bad either. By the time we completed our dinner and headed to my home it was almost four in morning.
When I just got down, Aunt Cathy and aunt Fiona were crying. I ran to their direction where 'A' was calling someone. "What happened?" I asked 'A' who took a breather seeing me. "Dad and uncle met an accident. Doctor had called and they are saying, it is good if someone from the family comes there."
"Ok, I will arrange the flight for aunt." I was about to call the travel agency but 'A' stopped me. "Who will go there? Only Ma cannot handle the situation. Even I called uncle Nat, but they don't have any recent flights. Ma and aunt are not ready to leave us alone."
"Aunt why don't you both go there? We will manage here." I tried convincing both the aunts. "No dear. It can be solved, wait I will call Jia and ask her to come. " Aunt Cathy started calling aunt Jia.
I took the mobile to console her. "Aunt first calm down. 'B' bring a glass of water." I asked and started rubbing aunt's back. When she finally drank water she appeared to be a bit calm. "Aunty please go with Aunt Fiona, I am here to manage. I will hire a cook till you are not there and we have enough maids for maintenance."
When Aunty was about to object, 'C' intervened. "Ma, don't worry we are big girls now. We can manage ourselves and we all together will look after others." Aunty was almost convinced when all of the other girls nodded assuring aunty.
"See, now it is decided. I will book a fli……" I was cut off when Ray decided to grace his presence. "Nora, you don't have to book flight. I have asked my pilot to drop your aunt, as the my private jet gets ready I will inform you." By looking at everyone's face I could make out everyone were impressed from the Ray's move.
Now I made the decision. I am definitely giving a chance to Ray
