Ariel's POV
''Ariel why don't you go and check on your boss'' this is probably the hundredth time my mom has said that today. '' I've heard you ma i'll go right after i finish what i'm doing'' I replied feeling exhausted from how much i've been working all day and to top it all my mom has been calling non stop today just for me to check on my ''boss''. The workload has been extreme today i came alone to the office the man i personally assist is not in the office , of course he is not feeling well and there are so many things he has to do and sign.
'' I'll like you to leave what you are doing and go to him immediately after all ,he is the boss if anything happens to him there is no point in working anymore''.
'' Yes mom i'll go, let me round up in the office i promise i'll go'' i tried to convince my mom again i was really getting tired!!l Okay so she bought it and finally agreed to let me be. I was almost done and i had to inform Mr Zhai about so many things. I immediately rushed downstairs shutting off the systems and closing the office i made sure i was careful with the door, to avoid breaking it was made of opaque glass, i'm not sure if that even exists but the glass was not transparent. Literally i had to wait for the elevator and it was taking a lot of time so i decided to take the staircase but at that moment i heard the ping of the elevator which indicated that the elevator was now open.
I entered the elevator to meet someone familiar it was Luo, Mr zhai's former assistant but new secretary it was a pleasure to meet him again since he was so nice to me the first time i met him.
''Hello! Ariel'' he greeted me delightfully it was evident in his tone. '''Hii! Luo so nice to meet you again'' i replied heartily. '' Are you going home?'' He asked to cure his curiosity.
''Ohh no i'm going to see Mr Zhai he his sick so i want to inform him of some important issues''
''Yes i noticed he didn't come and wanted to ask you that but i had to go the marketing board meeting, so i couldn't make it ''
''It's okay, you can come with me to see him''
'' i would have but i still have a lot to deal with ,wait.....do you even know the way to his place?''
''To think of it i....i really don't know i've not been there before'' i really felt embarrassed i didn't know where i was going, i face palmed myself mentally.
''Should i have the company driver take you there?'' he asked
''Yes please, i would like that very much'' i answered as politely as ever, thankfully i had gotten help. I went on instantly getting out of the elevator i went straight to the lobby and met the company driver it was such a short encounter. Luo introduced me to the company driver and told him where i wanted to go.
The security measures were so tight and difficult even the estate security took a lot of time to check us thoroughly it was a very big estate mainly built for the influential people alone called ''CROSS WATERFALLS ESTATE'' it is literally every human in this country's dream to live or even get a chance to enter this estate , i've seen so many people on social media take pictures in it and show it off, infact so many celebrities live in here , i was so honoured to get in.
I thought going straight to my boss's place without his permission was a bit odd so i tried to give him a call, i called him several times but to no avail, so i went on with my original plan. ln no time we got to Mr Zhai's house ,wait did i just say house? Pardon me i meant mansion, it was so large i wondered if his whole family resided there with him.
I entered the mansion with the help of the company driver, I think he has been there before because they instantly recognized him and they let us in. I jumped down from the car and thanked the driver.
''Miss should i wait for you outside?'' he asked sounding concerned.
''Will the security people let me out?'' i replied with another question feeling unsure of myself with what i saw back there, i felt a bit intimidated.
'' Yes of course i'm sure they'll recognize you'''
'' Then you can leave be rest assured i'll find my way back home thank you''
'' You're welcome Miss'' with this he left and i made my way to the front door in total awe the place was looking so lovely and fantastic, name any word that spells amazing. I rang the gold doorbell carefully before it was opened.
Back to third person's POV
After all the fever and nightmare he finally got some rest it was a peaceful one though.
Ring! Ring! the door bell rang after a while , the maids rushed to get the door Lana (Tristan's mother) went down to check who it was and to her surprise it was Ariel
"Hey darling!"she chirped happily
"Uhm....uhm Good day mam"the extremely surprised Ariel stuttered.
Earlier on she decided to come and see her boss to check on him and also to update him on some important office matter so he won't be overloaded with work when he gets back .
"Oh dear i told you not to call me that you can call me mom or Lana " Ariel was confused and had slightly forgotten the deal she made with her boss.
" Yes mom.....i came to see si....Tristan" she quickly corrected herself.
"Dear, i don't know if you know he is not feeling well" Lana said looking a bit worried.
"Ohh yes i do actually, i would have stayed to help but he insisted on me going home"she explained.
"I understand dear, my son can be so stubborn" Lana chuckled.
"Come in dear"
''Have you had lunch?'' Lana asked Ariel who was about to sit down but she quickly got up and answered '' No mum, but i'll eat something on my way back to the office''
''My Goodness! you're going back to the office? I thought you were closed for the day''
''No, since Tristan didn't come to the office today i still have a lot settle'' she was happy she finally managed to say his name without making the ''sir'' mistake .
''Okay dear but i rather suggest you have lunch with us i just finished making lunch, come on'' she led them to the dining table. It was the most Magnificent place she had set her eyes on, not talking about the detailed to the edge living room,they moved on to the dining room. Everything was arranged in detail from the furniture to the food it was more like an '' all you can eat buffet'' there was literally everything you can think of on the table,she was mesmerized this looked like a feast.
''Ariel please will you do me a favour?'' Lana asked out of the blue.
''What would that be mum?'' she asked feeling a bit nervous.
'' I need you to take Tristan's lunch to him upstairs, originally i wanted him to come down but i don't want to stress him'' she said smiling she was obviously up to something.
