Chapter 16: Chapter 16 : Am I jealous?
Damien: Why can I see her face?
Damien couldn't understand why he was seeing Amelia's face. Why are all the things Cherry says related to Amelia? Damien feels like all the things are coming back to Amelia. Even while listening to the old man's words, he can see Amelia's face.
Damien is so intelligent. He has taken his company to the international level. He is a German business tycoon. But he was not able to understand all these things at all.
To divert his focus, Damien decides to go to his employees and attend an evening party with them. As soon as Damien reaches there, the happiness on the faces of all the employees vanishes. All those who were joking till now suddenly become serious. Damien goes there and sits on a chair. Then team leaders Sumit, Amyra and Rihaan arrive there.
Rihaan : Everyone ,What happened? Why did everyone become silent?
One employee: boss is here. How can we enjoy. We all know how our boss is.
Amyra : I agree that our boss is strict. But he is not that bad guys. If he was that bad, he would not have given us such an expensive trip. And if everybody behaves like this as soon as he comes, he will feel bad.
Sumit : Today we had decided that we will enjoy outing with each other, so don't forget that he is our boss, office family is there because of him. We want to enjoy time with him, so please everyone remain normal and enjoy, it's okay.
All the employees started behaving normally. The presence of Damien did not seem so scary to them anymore. As soon as we see it, evening turns into night. The party begins. Today everyone is preparing food together. Abhi was just following Amyra madam. Amyra and Sumit were the administrators of the kitchen and Rihaan was in charge of all the other arrangements.
Damien's eyes were focused on only one person and that was Amelia. Amelia, Max, Rihaan were busy arranging music and dance together. Amelia feels Damien's eyes on her but she just ignores it. And Damien also knows that Amelia is knowingly ignoring him.
But one thing that is bother him in all this is that Amelia and Rihaan are very comfortable with each other. He don't know why but Amelia and Rihan's comfort ability with each other makes him very uncomfortable.
The food is ready. Today a big table was set, everyone sits in their respective places. Damien also joins them on the table. Sumit was sitting on one side of Damien and Cherry on the other side. And right in front of him was Amelia. Tina was sitting on one side of Amelia and Rihaan was sitting on the other side.
Rihaan serves food to Amelia's plate with his hands. Seeing this Damien's blood starts boiling. He wonders what really is going on between these two. After eating food everyone drinks. After drinking everyone becomes very relaxed as if Damien is not around them. Everyone sings songs and dances. Damien just watches. He was feeling good today that his employees are enjoying the trip. But his happiness does not last long when Rihaan asks Amelia to dance. And Amelia also agrees.
Amelia and Rihaan go to the dance floor and start dancing. Rihaan holds Amelia's hand with one of his hands and places the other hand on her waist. Damien was losing his patience.
Damien did not even realize it, but he pressed the glass he was holding in his hand so hard that the entire glass broke and glass got stuck in Damien's hand and blood started oozing out of his hand. But the pain in the heart was much more than the pain in the hand.
Cherry: Boss, your hand is bleeding.
Everyone gets serious after hearing about Cherry. Everyone runs to Damien. Everyone worries about what happened suddenly. Amelia also runs and gets scared after seeing Damien's hand.
Amelia: what happen ?Are you okay? How did this happen?
Finally Amelia gave her attention to Damien. Damien gets more happiness from Amelia's attention than from everyone's attention. But he is still angry. He gets up from there and says that everyone should enjoy the party and not ruin their mood because of him. Saying this he leaves from there. Damien walks to the pool side area of the cottage. He takes a chair and sits down and looks at his hand from which blood is coming out and thinks why he did all this.
Voice : are you ohkk ?
Damien knows this sound. It is the most soothing sound in the world. He says without raising his head.
Damien: why are you Here? Amelia.
Amelia: I am worried about you .
Damien feels very good to hear this. He doesn't know why, but he feels like getting up from his place and shouting to the whole world that Amelia cares about him. But he does not do anything like that.
Damien: why ?
Amelia: let me see. I will clean the wound and apply medicine.
Damien: no need.
Amelia does not say anything further. She goes and takes a chair and sits next to Damien. And after looking at his hands carefully, she starts cleaning his wound and applying medicine. At first Damien does not let her do this, but then he gives in to Amelia's stubbornness. And he lets Amelia do what she wants to do.
Damien: So after ignoring me earlier you are now worried about me.?
Amelia does not give any reply. She just continues her work.
Damien: I am talking to you.
Amelia: Because you are my boss. That's because of.
Damien: If I am just your boss then why are you so concerned about my injury. Why does it matter so much to you?
Amelia: I am also just your employee. So why does my ignorance matter so much to you?
After listening to Amelia, Damien also thinks that she is speaking the truth. Amelia is just his employee, so why is her ignorance affecting him so much?
Damien: You can never give a straight answer to my question. Right?
Amelia: You can never ask me a direct question. Right?
Damien: you are very stubborn. You know.
Amelia: Whatever. I have applied the medicine, now be careful not to put your hand in the water even by mistake.
Damien: You didn't need to do all this, the doctor is coming.
Amelia: ohkk.
Amelia was about to leave when Damien stops her and says.
Damien: where are you going?
Amelia: I am going to the party. By the way this is our last day here so I can't miss enjoying. And anyway your doctor is coming so what is the need for me.
Amelia leaves from there. Damien watches her go. And he thinks to himself what kind of a girl is this, she cares for me herself but then she herself ignores me.
Damien looks at his hand and wonders why he reacted to it. Why did he get angry seeing Amelia with Rihaan.
Damien: Am I jealous?
