Chapter 10: Chapter 10 : are you ready?
Amelia: b....boss.....What are you doing?
Amelia's heart starts beating faster when she sees Damien so close to her. She doesn't know what to do in this situation. She has no idea what Damien is going to do.
Damien: What happened? What am I doing? I haven't even touched you.
Damien is telling the truth, he hasn't even touched Amelia yet.
Damien : What happened sugar? I haven't even touched you yet. Why is your heart beating so fast?
Damien said this in such a thick voice that Amelia's mind was going blank. Wait a second, what did his boss call her , sugar? What does this mean? And why is he talking to her like this?
Amelia: Boss, did you have any work here?
Damien: Why can't I come to meet you without any work? And anyway I am the boss, this office is mine, I can go wherever I want whenever I want. Am I right?
Amelia: Yes, this office is yours, you can go wherever you want whenever you want. But you don't come here, that's why it feels strange.
Damien: Yes, I would not have come, but I have come now.
Saying this, Damien leans a little closer to her. She can feel his breathing on her skin. She says in a nervous voice.
Amelia: But no boss talks like this to his employees. This is not right.
Damien: An employee does not bring pastries to his boss to say thank you.
Amelia: h....huh ?
Amelia knew that no employee ever thanks his boss like this. This sounded too friendly. But her parents had said that she should thank her boss for his help. She did whatever came to her mind.
Amelia: I just wanted to say thank you to you because you helped me.
Damien: So you could have come and told me directly. But maybe you were too busy.
Amelia: What do you mean boss?
Damien speaks in a very serious voice. His eyes were still very dark.
Damien: Who was that boy?
Amelia: boy ? Who ?
Amelia couldn't understand what Damien wanted to ask at the end.
Damien: The same boy with whom you were on the bike yesterday evening.
Amelia: You mean Tom?
Damien: I am not interested in knowing his name. What is your relationship with him?
Amelia: What do you have to do with this, Boss? This is my personal life.
Damien: I need an answer to my question. And the more time it takes you to answer, the more time it will take you to go home.
Amelia realizes that Damien won't let her go without giving her answers.
Amelia: He is my childhood friend.
Damien: friend. ? Huh ?
The boss comes back. Amelia feels a little relieved.
Damien: What were you doing with him on the bike?
Amelia: Actually my mother had some work that's why he gave me a lift.
Damien: ohkk .
Amelia: But boss, why are you suddenly asking me all these things?
Damien: I thought you would want to come and thank me personally but you were busy. My car was behind at that traffic signal but you were with your friend.
Amelia: ohkk .
Amelia thinks this means her boss saw her with Tom. But what does her boss care about all this?
Damien: I am standing in front of you. Don't you want to say thanks?
Amelia : huh ? .....han .... Thank you so much boss .
Damien smirks upon seeing Amelia.
Damien: Come, let me drop you home.
Amelia: No, it's okay boss, my work is not completed yet, I will go home myself.
Damien: Who is the boss? I am the boss, right? I told you I will drop you home, so just do what I say.
Amelia: ohkk.
Amelia doesn't argue much because she knows that her argument doesn't make any sense. So she just packs all her stuff and gets into Damien's car.
Damien drops her home. But that night Amelia was very lost; she could neither sleep nor find peace. But still, the next day Amelia gets busy with her work with new energy.
A whole month passed. The whole company was busy with its new project. Everyone was giving their best. But in this one month Damien and Amelia became close. Damien used to call her many times in his office for work and sometimes he used to go and meet her himself. Most of the time Damien used to give Amelia a lift till her home.
Damien and Amelia both became good friends. Damien and Amelia both were working hard for a new project. And then the day of competition arrives. All the companies present their ideas to the world. The competition is tough and finally Damien's company comes in the top list. Top 3 companies are successful and among them was Damien's Vanguard Dynamics.
All the employees were happy, their hard work paid off. There was no limit to their happiness. There was a happy atmosphere in the office, everyone was celebrating their success. Amelia and her friends were also very happy. At the same time Summit, Amyra ,and Rihaan their team leader arrive there.
Amyra : Congratulations, our hard work paid off.
Rihaan : Let's celebrate together.
That day everyone celebrates very well. After completing the celebration Amelia goes towards the house. Today she had booked a taxi and while sitting in the taxi she calls Tom. She has not forgotten that Tom had promised her a surprise. And today she will get her surprise.
Amelia: Hello....Tom....we....are...succeeded. Do you know our company is also among the top 3 companies that have been selected.
Tom : congratulations....dear. Many congratulations.
Amelia: So is my surprise ready?
Tom : Yes it is ready, listen I will come to pick you up from your home and then I will take you for a surprise. You be ready, okay.
Amelia: ohkk.
Amelia hangs up the phone. And she reaches home. Her mother, father and brothers celebrate her success. After celebrating with all of them, she gets ready. After some time the sound of a car is heard. Amelia looks outside her room window. Tom was standing below. Tom was wearing a very nice tuxedo. He looked very good in it.
Amelia comes down. Amelia was looking very beautiful today. She was wearing a navy blue shoulder strap dress. Her beauty was so evident that she seemed like an angel. Her hair was open. Seeing Amelia, he gets lost in her beauty. It was as if the world around him was vanishing into thin air; there was only he and Amelia in front of him and no one else mattered to him.
Amelia: heyy, are you Ohkk ?
Tom : h...Yess, It's just that you are so beautiful.
Amelia: Thank you . you also look Very handsome.
Tom : Thank you . are you ready .....?
