Chereads / His Indian Bride / Chapter 34 - Proving worth

Chapter 34 - Proving worth

Vaidehi could never imagine that someone can accuse her of such a big thing.

She let out an inaudible gasp and tear roll down her cheeks as she saw the look in Damien face.

She felt humiliated as some other employees looked at her and Damien and whispered among themself.

"Si-Sir let me at least explain myself? " She tried to plede but it was of no use.

"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING, THAT WE WON'T KNOW THAT YOU STOLE OUR FILES AND YOU WILL EASILY GET AWAY WITH IT!?"She never though that Damien will accuse of such horrible crime.

"HOW DARE YOU MISS AGGARWAL!? " He slammed his hand on the coffee table and Vaidehi flinched and staggered back in fear.

Ashton and Ally came running .

"Damien let her explain, you can't accuse her like that! " Ashton glared at Damien and stood protectively in front of Vaidehi.

Ally rush toward Vaidehi and held her shoulder.

"Wow, well played Miss. Aggarwal! You made my friends go against me and made them puppet of your hand! " His each and every word pierced Vaidehi heart.

Even though they never bonded well together but, never she thought that he would accuse of he for such a horrible crime.

"Damien do you have any idea what you are saying!? " Ashton glared at his.

"Yes, and on what bases are you accusing her? Do have any prove? Did you even searched!? " Ashton raised his eyebrow and looked at Damien in anger.

"But–" Damien tried to argue but Ashton raised his and and gestured toward people making a group and watching the drama.

"IN MY CABIN, NOW!AND DRAMA IS OVER GET BACK TO WORK! " He glared at everyone before gesturing Vaidehi to follow him.

.

.

Letting Vaidehi entered first, he bang the door shut before Ashton or Ally could come inside and protect her. Vaidehi flinched and staggered back and plastered herself more to the wall as Damien slowly walked like a predator toward her.

For a second, Vaidehi saw image of someone she was trying to erase for almost a month.

Damien pulled her, his hand held her shoulder in a death grip.

Vaidehi could feel herself going down the memory lane. Her breath labored and she felt dizzy.

She tried to listen to what Damien was saying but ,all her mind could hear was-a different voice.

"You were missing me, pretty lady? " Vaidehi shook her head weakly.

"You always ignore me, pretty lady!" His voice voice repeating on her head in loop.

"No please. You're hurting me. " She shook her head and tried to break his hold.

"I will show you what I am!" That voice said

"Noooo!" Vaidehi screamed and fainted.

"Vaidehi? "

"Fuck! " He cursed and pulled Vaidehi's in his arms and made her sleep in the sofa.

"Vaidehi? Can you listen to me? Vaidehi please get up? He is not here! It's just me you arrogant Grinch. Please get up. " Damien scooted closer to Vaidehi fragile body and patted her face with one hand and intertwinded their fingers.

He felt guilt consuming him, was it too late now?

No, no he shook his head and quickly got the glass of water and sprinkled it on her.

"Wake up and fight with me, tell me I am an arrogant jerk to accuse you of something so horrible." He said and patted her cheeks softly.

What shocked him was that, a tear roll down his cheek?

He wiped the tears and looked at the tear drop curiously.

Why does she affect him so much?

Why does her tears affect him so much?

"What did you do to her you ,asshole!" Ashton opened the charged toward him and held him by his collar.

"Do know what actually happened?"Ashton was second away from punching him.

"We will talk about that later, first please please call the doctor." He pushed Ashton softly and looked down.

"Now don't show you that care! You have turned into a heart monster!" Ashton snarled at him and quickly ran toward Vaidehi.

"Oh my God, what happened?" Ally entered and quickly sat beside Vaidehi.

"Don't ask me !Ask this, asshole!" Ashton said glaring at Damien.

"Let me call the doctor."

Soon doctor arrived and checked Vaidehi.

"I don't what had happened but, something has triggered her bad memory ,that she was trying to forget.Please take extra care of her. She needs to stay happy so that she can heal." Doctor stated before going out.

"Now before she wakes up and you start accusing her of something again, let me tell you who stole the file!" Ashton narrowed his eyes and said gritting his teeth.

Damien for the first time in his life saw Ashton being so protective.

"She did nothing! The head of managing department -Jasmine stole the file! " Ashton looked at Damien and stood up, open his laptop and show his a video.

"Now say! Say that she stole it, I will fucking break your nose and bones if you accuse her of try to even overwork her again!"

"Why do you care much about her!?" Damien snapped, realizing what he said ,he looked at Ashton but it was to late to take back his word.

Ashton gave him a disgusted look, "Are you even the same Damien, I knew since childhood!?"

Ashton walked out of from his cabin in anger followed by Ally.

Vaidehi eye flutter open and she tried to look around.

Her throat felt dry "Wa-water." She whispered.

And a hand quickly forwarded her a glass of water.

"You feeling better? " That voice said, Vaidehi realised who it and she didn't looked up.

"Look, I-I am sor–" Vaidehi raised her hands and stopped him from saying anything.

She got up clumsily almost knocked herself against the table but straighten holding the chair.

"Hey, where are you going? You should rest–"

"I am going to prove my worth." Say so, she wakes out of his cabin.

.

.

Few moments later Vaidehi entered and looked at Damien.

"Here is the presentation that I made and here is the stolen file you accused me of stealing."

"Listen I said I am-" Damien tried to say but Vaidehi shook her head.

"Don't say it , when you didn't mean it.I didn't steal the file and off all the people, you should have known that.But leave it. I am done with it, sir. And before you fire me I want to say that, I resigned!" Vaidehi looked at him o e last time before walking away.

And going through the presentation he knew why Vaidehi was so hurt by his behavior.

She literally add extra details and some idea that they could present in the presentation.

Oh God, what did he do?
