Chapter - 4
Jealousy
Samantha already knew the special bond they share, so she kept quiet and just stood there watching them. Blake was surprised at the scene unfolding in front of him and was in his own deep thoughts while looking at them.
The Managing director, Mr. Scott in whose cabin this father and daughter reunion was going on was watching them with a pleasant smile. He knew how much Mr Jones cared for Lilliana and vice versa but never saw it with his own eyes. He thought maybe it was only a care of a teacher for his favorite student but now he understands how much Mr Jones really cared for Lilliana. Seeing them he was reminded of his even daughter who was out of his own daughter who was out of town at the moment, and he started to miss her.
The scene would have continued for long but was stopped by the sound of someone clearing their throat. Everyone's eyes diverted towards the figure with chocolate. eyes clad in a black colored business suit and a white shirt, underneath which gave him a charming dark aura. His eyes were dark and showing the darkness of hell. His eyes roamed over her figure who was also looking at him with her down casted eyes to make sure not to be caught, not by him nor by anyone else. It was her first time in the entire day that she saw him entirely; she was looking at his foot or focusing on someone else. She also didn't dare to make eye contact for more than a few seconds. She wasn't able to withstand the intensity with which he was staring at her with all the darkness that played in his eyes.
Whenever she looked at him, she was reminded of the day before yesterday and her face went red before yesterday and her face went red with anger, shyness, embarrassment and most importantly fear. She didn't even want to remember and recall anything and was already frightened by the thought of thinking about her future.
After all that she had paid for, she couldn't let it get ruined.
Not now, nor in future
"Sorry for disturbing your moment, but I have an important business to attend to later in the evening and I need to leave within 30 minutes. So can we start going through the important points that we discussed and assign the new tasks?"
Blake said in his normal cold voice laced with a little sarcasm and urgency like they were wasting his precious time, which was really precious for a multimillionaire like him while staring into her eyes when he was saying the last two lines.
