Third-Party Pov
Eric and Daniel stood likes frozen dolls, while Megan and Crystal walked into the field to check... Daniel regained his composure then walked behind them with Eric, Eric was the most confused guy there, thinking about Edward and his madam's relationship... While Daniel was much calmer out but was boiling like lava inside, ready to erupt anytime... The field inspection was done when Eric was driving, them back to the resort... Megan got a call again
"It me...love, how did it go, no more trouble right"
"Thank you, Edward... It was good, will be going back to K city... As that's a completely new design, so there is a lot of work"
"When are you back...it's been many days since I have seen you"
"Not that soon, as I said there is a lot of change of design in K city... So, then It was your mistake, Mr White, you were on a business trip when I left... You can't blame me"
"Ok...ok... I do agree, but why change... Your resorts are in the same design right"
"Yes... But it was a resemblance of K city if the same thing a displayed we can't attract the locals, so I need to work here, still, it's at least half"
"Oh ok... Work hard, finish your work and come back soon... I miss you"
"Even I miss home... Edward, Seattle has become my home now, I need to back soon, I will send Christine after everything here is done... Look over him, while I am away"
"Yes, Boss got it... Don't worry, try to come back fast"
"Ok... Bye"
All the while Megan was on the call, Daniel's eyes were glued on her to see how relaxed she was while speaking to Edward white... He was very sad thinking, maybe she had moved on this guy, that's why she doesn't show any interest in him... While Eric was breaking his head about Edward, how is this man so polite to his madam, whether madam is dating him... That's why he was not able to get any information about it, thinking of which, Eric looked at Daniel, in the rare mirror, to see his grave expression.
When they reached the resort, it was a late-night, Christine, waited for them at the gate... As he saw them, he walked to the car and opened the door, when Crystal said
"I left your car in A city... and drove with them"
"It's ok... I need to go there before we live, I will fly there then come back driving"
She smiled, while Christine again said
"Go, clean up and eat, I ask the housekeeping to serve dinner in your room"
Crystal nodded her head and walks away... While Megan came near him,
"How did it go... Any difficulties"
Megan smiled and said
"As usual the land was occupied by some local guys, then cleared them and visited... Indeed a beautiful place, with mountains... A small waterfall"
"That's good, how did you manage to get those guys out"
"Called Edward... Then he called them, then things are history like always"
Megan chuckled as she said, while Christine also smiled and said
"He is in your foot... If even a small request comes from you"
"Ya... I know but doesn't why he is so good to me"
Christine stopped when Megan turned... He said
"You know it well Megan... I just give him a chance"
Megan looked at Christine with a sad look, turned walked to her room while thinking
"I know that Edward likes me, but I can't... If I was able to like some else than him...."
Daniel who was walking behind them heard their conversation... Was heartbroken, when Christine passed him, he called him
"Christine..."
His voice was so low and disappointed, Christine stood and asked
"Yes, Daniel, what can I do for you"
"How does Megan know this guy Edward White, does She... She..."
His voice choked... But before he completes his sentence, Christine said
"He loves Megan... and she knows it, but...."
"But what Christine..."
"She is yet decided on it... But she as to, someday"
"Someday... Christine, that day is not anywhere soon"
As Daniel said he walked away, while Christine smiled and thought... You have a rival Mr Ried...
The next day Megan, Daniel, Christine, and Eric boarded the flight... Megan was seated next to Daniel, but she didn't care much... Once they reached the K city airport, Megan got up and was about to leave, when Daniel asked...
"Megan, do have any liking left for me "
His voice was devasted and he looked so sad, Megan's heart ached for him, but... Thinking of all the past events, she just left, without a word, when all reached the lobby, Megan was so surprised to see... Edward standing there in a black suit, with a language bag in his hand, Megan without her knowledge walked to the handsome man who stood there... As she reached, Edward hugged her kissing her temple saying
"God... You little Goblin... I missed you so much"
Megan was dumbfounded... Pushed him from her, and asked
"What the hell are doing here..."
"I came here to see you, I missed you, it's literally been three months that we have seen"
"Your right... But I am here to work, so you're leaving now"
"What a heartless woman... I have trailed literally 18 hours, and you're chasing me... How to mean your Goblin"
"You first don't call me that... Ok"
"Hai, Chris, come for some help, you idiot"
Christine walked to them and said
"Megan it's not fair for you to behave like this, Mr White has travelled such a long distance to see you, you should show some hostility "
Megan shook her head said...
"You are gone mad... Do whatever you both want, don't disturb me"
As she said, she walked past them both while Crystal nodded to Edward, and dragged their bags and walked behind Megan, while Daniel stood there like a statue that was frozen for a million years... and thought, Wha just happen, that guy just hugged Megan, and kissed her on her temple, but she was not panicked or agitated, she acted as if it was they regular routine... Did she really forget him and moved on in her life, and he was the only one who waited and loved her like crazy when he was about to go out with Eric, Edward looked at Daniel, and walked to him and said
"You must be Daniel Reid, the mysterious CEO of S&S Crops, I am Edward White, the President of White Groups, heard about you...Nice meeting you"
Daniel was shocked when he said, that he as known him, was that told by Megan, with confusion he shook his hand and said
"It's my pleasure to meet you, Mr White...hope you enjoy your trip to the K city"
Edward nodded with a smile and then turned to Eric, and said
"How are you, Young Master Eric... The sole heir of the T-Rex family, I am glad I could meet you too"
Eric was shocked, how powerful was this man, many didn't even know who he was... But at a glance, he called him the Young Master, was he been updated with all gangs information... impressive, thinking about it he shook his hand with him, and then Edward said,
"I am impressed the way you handle Eric's men, without involving yourself in mafia... Good"
Daniel nodded...
"We should meet up sometime and discuss business, I have heard you're a very capable person..."
"My pleasure... Hopefully, meet you soon"
"Ok then, let me excuse myself... Already my girl is angry with me, for coming here without informing her"
Daniel facked a smile, While Eric looked at his Boss, in a dilemma thinking, How is Boss taking it, he must be heartbroken, seeing some other guy hugging her, and calling her his girl, while Edward turned to the car parked in the entrance, he smiled and saying
"Hai, My little stubborn Goblin... Don't leave me, I don't know any anyone here in this city expect you...."
While Christine open the door for Edward, the four got into the car and left, while Daniel stood there with a bitter smile on his face, he was so hurt, that he was not able to handle himself... He needed to talk to someone, he said to Eric
"Drive to my old apartment..."
Eric turned to look at Daniel, and thought he had not been there for months, but why now... As he thought, it was not a God day for the person his boss wanted to meet. The car stopped at the basement of Daniel's old apartment, where he had grown up... Memories flooded into him, but this house as become only a dark place, where bit humans but... live, Eric asked
"Boss shall stay with you..."
"No Eric, you can leave, ask the project team to join Megan tomorrow, I will only overlook the project, So post a good Manager to handle everything, with The Begining team"
Eric was shocked by what he heard... So was his Boss giving up, doesn't he want his wife anymore as being thought, he looked at his Boss, Daniel totally understood what Daniel was thinking, smiled bitterly and said
"What's the use of just being beside her, when she has already moved on with some else... A better man than me, who can protect and love her... I failed her once, not again by interfering in her life"
Eric nodded, he know how much, Daniel as to go through to say those words... He signed and walked to his car and drove away, while Daniel turned to the elevator, pressed the last floor button, stood there waiting for the elevator to reach the top floor....
