In the morning, Aaric and Sasha had a long discussion whether he should be heading to office or not. No matter how many reasons Aaric gave, Sasha was not ready at all to have his way out. She stayed stubborn on her words and asked him to go to the office.
At the end, Aaric just blurted out the real reason why he was not going to the office.
"I just want to spend some time with you. These nine months, I did not have this privilege. And I know you don't feel comfortable around strangers. You are open to me. So let me stay. Pretty please?" Aaric almost begged in front of Sasha. The only thing which was left, rather than standing on his feet, he would have kneeled down while pleading.
"Didn't you say that I am the lady of the house? How can I be so weak to not stay alone in my own house?" Sasha's reasoning was too pressured that Aaric could not retort. He hung his head in disappointment.
"Is there no chance?"
"Do you want to take me to the office in this condition?"
"No you should rest at home only." Aaric's voice was too low, even he could not tell what words he just said.
"Hey! Go to the office and I will wait for you. Come home early as we need to talk about a few things. Alright?" Looking at her beautiful smile and listening to her melodious voice, how could Aaric reject her? He nodded his head like an obedient child and left for the office after changing into his suit attire.

Later in the afternoon, when there was a meeting in the Imperial World office, Aaric arrived much before the scheduled meeting time. All the past meetings were very smooth, but today everything seemed to be a bit unusual. It was the first time after nine months, that the whole office was in chaos. Everybody was busy handling and processing their own work.
When Aaric was forced to come office by Sasha, though inwardly he was feeling happy being dominated but still, his mood was damped. He wanted to spend time with her as much as he could. But one call from his secretary ruined his plan.
He called Remo and asked him to inform all the directors for a quick review and report meeting within an hour. His frustration was apparently noticeable in his voice.
As soon as the time of meeting with the directors arrived, he stood up from his chair and went out of his office. On the way, towards the meeting room, the people immediately broke out into cold sweats and retreated to the side to make way for their boss. Some employees who were extremely cowardly or have a timid nature have all started shivering quite tremendously and had turned as white as sheets.
The clicking of his shoes that was carrying an ominous and heavy air which then instantly enveloped the whole floor was all making the employees shake in fear. They wanted to reduce their presence as much as they could as they tried to hide behind their desks, plants, statues and all sorts. Their hearts felt like they jumped up and got stuck in their throats and their breathing was shallow.
Sweat trickled down from everybody's head and their back, and all were shaking in fear. Right now, the usually calm President Smith was no longer in sight. The one in front of them was now replaced with a very dangerous devil that was out for blood. The only missing parts were the horns but aside from that, the man before them was really more like a Devil or even better, King Yama himself.
Every click of his shoes was like a click down a cold dark abyss. It was like they were coated with. Even if they didn't look at their boss' face, they knew that his look would be so terrible right now that they might really get some nightmares for months or even years.
It was a good thing that most people were on their respective seats. Only those who were with their superiors had to suffer and watch this scene unfolding in front of them.
Dark. Dangerous. Ominous. Eerie. Creepy. Ruthless. Menacing.
These were all the things that the employees under this man could describe him.
His eyes contained anger and frustration. He was like a ticking bomb that would explode at any moment. His steps were heavy and it scarily pounded into the hearts of his employees. His hair was messy yet it still didn't cover up his handsome face; in fact, it added to his charm that was alluringly deadly.
Everybody in the company was aware about his anger. The more angrier he was, the more he would look like a dangerous man.
Earlier when Remo was informed by Aaric about the meeting in his hell-like voice, even Remo's body was shaking and his inner shirt was already drenched with his cold sweat. Even though he had seen every ruthless thing in this world by staying at his side for more than a decade. He looked at the black screen of his cell phone and tried to remember what had just happened suddenly.
Remo tried to figure out every possible answer for his boss's bad mood, but the only possible reason that would pop up in his mind was that he came to office..
'If that's so, then boss, how can you be such a black belly? Don't you have to earn money for madam and your family?'
