"Ronee, kya tumane vyast nahin dekha? main ek aagantuk kee ummeed nahin kar raha hoon. aap jaanate hain ki mere koee dost nahin hain. [Roni, didn't you see am busy? Am not expecting a visitor. You know I don't have friends.]"
He bow his head, "Aaee em soree, maidam. Lekin baahar ka yah aadamee bahut jiddee hai. Unhonne kaha ki unhen aapase kuchh jarooree baat karanee hai. [Am sorry, ma'am. But this man outside is just too stubborn. He said he has something urgent to tell you.]"
"Usaka naam kya hai? [What's his name?"]
"Usane ullekh nahin kiya, mahodaya. [He didn't mention, ma'am.]"
She exhaled and sat up on the bed. "Theek hai, main aa raha hoon. [Okay, I'm coming.]"
He bow again and left.
The shut the English romance novel she was reading and kept it on the bed before walking out.
....
Meanwhile, Justin was taking his time to study the environment. It was more than luxurious. One could mistook here from a palace no wonder they had so many securities. There were little florescence shining on each flowers surrounding the body of the building. Bigger florescence planted in the large fountain which was at the middle of the compound. Couple of statues all around, proving the mansion as a great entity of power. A big sculpture of mermaid moulded at the upper tip of the fountain, underneath it is were the water goes out. From the way it was made shows that the mermaid was going to dive into the water with force. Justin stare at it intently. It was the most beautiful structure he has ever seen.
Even though he has a secret hobby of an artist in graphics, painting, sketching, drawing and designing, he still won't clarify himself as the best. This sculpture was breathtaking and it reminds him of someone...…. Someone he misses.
"Tum yahaan kya kar rahe ho, jastin?"
The voice that came by nigh his ears, tilts his head towards the direction. His eyes lit up, grinning after seeing her, looking so sweet and sexy in her floral crop top and leggings which revealed all her hourglass figures, curves and alluring shapes. Her 51 inches long dark hair tied into a straight ponytail and her flawless face without a makeup makes her look kinky for a guy.
Though, she looks so small standing in front of him.
"Nice to meet you too, sparkling angel—wow! You look stunning in a complete human form."
"That doesn't answer my question, Mr. Chadwick!" She gritted her teeth, trying not to shout. "What are you doing here? I thought I asked you not to find me."
He started caressing her chin. "Yeah, you did but—" He paused on his words when she slapped his hand off.
"Do you do talking with your mouth or your hands?"
"Both." His tone sexy and teasing.
She frowned deeper, her hands on her hips.
Justin rolled his eyes, "Oh please stop…..stop giving me that pose and look. Seriously, it makes me feel like am standing right before my mom."
She crossed her arms, getting fed up of his presence. "Tell me what you want to say and get lost."
His brows rose. "Seriously?" He chuckled, standing straight with both hands tuck into his pockets. "Seeing you standing before me right now made me forget all I wanted to say."
"Then go home to your mamá. You need a breast milk." She turned around to leave but he quickly held her wrist, stopping her.
"No, all I need right now is you."
"Stop touching me like am one of your whores!" She jerked his hand off.
"You are not a whore. You're a damsel." He corrected.
She hissed, rolling her eyes. "Whatever."
He leaned forward, wanting to draw her attention. "Listen, my life has not been the same since you left. Everything has become hard for me and it also affects the people around me too."
She scoffed. Her neck tilting dramatically as she cross her arms. "How is that my problem?"
"It is." He sighed. "I don't know what you did but you have to undo certain things right now. I just lost two big deals that worth billions of dollars. I won't lie to you but I need you to fix it."
"Hey!" She objected, eyes wide open. "Whatever is going wrong in your life currently has nothing to do with me, okay? I didn't do anything to you or your deals. I was serious when I said I was leaving with no return and mermaids don't go back to their words."
"Priyanka…." He wanted to capture her face when she looked away but she moved backward. "Okay, tell me how is it my fault? You started it first, you stopped coming to my dreams. You stopped ghosting to my house. You—"
"Point of correction, minster. You started it first." She poke one finger into his chest. "You asked me my name when you knew the consequences, so stop blaming me."
Justin tapped the side of his head, "Am I mad? I will be the greatest fool if I cast my blames on you. Of course I'm the stupid one here." He's such a coward falling for her beauty. "Priyanka, I love—I mean, I like you so much to have you as a friend and surviving grace like an umbrella above my head. I can never get drained by the rain."
She was getting tired and fed up of his sweet coated words. She's not a cheap hog that falls easily for glittering things.
"Listen baby, I need you back. Not just to fix things for me but to be my helper."
Her eyes darting at him, "Don't call me 'baby' I'm not your flirt." But her cheeks betrayed her as it flushed. "And please leave." She whined, losing it. "I was in the middle of studies when you bounced in."
Justin knew that there were no other way to get her easily, so he knelt down. Causing her to feel some uneasiness. "Priyanka, I beg you for heaven's sake. I know you didn't do anything to my deals, to me or whatever but please come back and make amendments in my life. I'm shattered. My life is completely blank without you."
She paused, looking down at him for a while. "Is this a purposal? Because it's never gonna work. Not on me, ever. I already told you what I want to. We have no business and connection, Justin. Why would I want to tarnish your reputation, something you've been building for years? Mujhe kya phaayada hoga? [What would I benefit?]"
When he made a sad face, she sighed, tiredly. Rubbing her forehead. "Have you contacted your secretary since?"
"My secretary?" It's like he forgot how to read the alphabets. "I….I haven't spoken with him since the meeting ended."
"Get up."
"Huh?"
She raised her brows, questioning. "I said get up. Kneeling for me it's like a disrespect to you."
He chuckled sheepishly as he rose up to his feet. "I don't mind if it's you."
"You didn't lost the DEALS, Justin." She emphasized, quoting with her fingers. When he gave her a confused look, she shook her head, helplessly. "The japanese and Tokyo men sealed—"
"Ah," He snapped his fingers. "You see? I knew you're my omniscience!"
She frowned, "Will you let me talk?"
His lips pressed together, "Sorry."
"Thank you. So as I was saying, the Japanese and Tokyo men sealed the deals at the end of the meetings with a spoken word of their accents, which you guys didn't understand. In other words, you and your EXCOs thought negatively that they declined the project. But unknowing to you guys that, that one spoken word meant they've accepted and signed the contract with your company."
Justin's eyes grew big in shock. "They accepted the deal with….with my company?"
She shook her head, "Yes, they did."
"Whoa!" He grabbed her into his arms and spin around.
"Are you crazy? Put me down." She squealed, tapping his shoulders.
"Sorry," He landed her safely like she was an egg. "I was just overwhelmed."
She dust the invisible dirts off her clothes, "Don't do that next time. You hear me?" Without waiting for him to say anything, she walked her way back into the mansion.
Justin stretched his neck, his eyes following the movements of her hips as she faded into the mansion. But little does she know that he blew flying kisses at her retrieving back.
