Skyler eyes widened a little as he stared at the flamingo at his front.
Why didn't his secretary inform him of her presence?
Glancing behind, he saw the fat pot belly man Standing behind her with a sorry look on his face.
"I tried to stop her but she was too stubborn",he said In a whisper, knowing Skyler could read his lips.
"Baby",she rushed after him,as if she just found her favorite lost teddy bear.
She pushed layla and crushed at his well buildt body.
The impact could make anyone fall or falther, but not Skyler. He remained unmovable like a rock.
"I've missed you so much, my love",she grinned.
"Why didn't you tell me you where coming ava",he asked, his cold deep voice sent huge cold wave inside the room.
Ava stepped back a little but still held unto his hands.
"I wanted to surprise you",she smiled.
"You definitely did",an out of place small voice chipped in, grabbing everyone's attention.
Layla had been looking and listeningly quietly. She was fast enough to notice the unhappiness and surprise in Skyler's face.
But she wasn't really going to say it out.
Quiet surprised at herself, she immediately turned cold. She hadn't expected her voice to be loud.
Looking at the girl, cold face she swallowed.
The girl reminded her of Julia, her angry face and cold blue eyes, what she was only missing was the red hair.
"I...mean...ah ...ah ..",she struggled for words.
"Ava, you can't keep on coming here", Skyler stern voice saved her, drawing back the attention from her to him.
With a sigh, Layla released a deep breath that she didn't know she was holding in.
Ava stare almost made her collapse.
God help her because she wasn't ready to deal with two Julia in her life, that was going to be horrible and bad.
"Wait for me outside. I have work to do", Skyler voice broke through her thought.
She saw ava pout like a little child and walked out but not without giving her a glare.
Which confused layla, what did she do?
The angry bird lady finally stepped out and fat belly man quickly walked to skyler.
"Am so sorry sir..it just that.."
"It seems you really relaxed a lot in that sit huh?", Skyler slowly said, drawing out his words which seems to be drawing out pot belly man senses.
"NO...boss. She came unaware, not giving me time to inform you. I swear that to you boss, please..",the man pleaded.
"Leave now", Skyler ordered.
Soon it was only Skyler and Layla alone in the big shining office.
Layla couldn't help but calculate how much all the things in the office cost, from the big new model computer to the well soft leather sit to the big white machine that seems to push out water with a button.
"Sit", Skyler again broke through her throught.
"I have somewhere to be this night, and this afternoon. So I'll need you to fill stamp some few papers",
"Can you do that?",he looked so intently at her person that she couldn't help but shiver at his gaze.
"Yes sir",she answered quickly, nodding her head like a fish lost in water.
"Then am out of here, someone would bring you my stamp and the papers. And don't forget, read every Paper",he added with a serious gaze.
He got up and left, leaving Layla alone at the office, confused and totally out of place.
"Where's he going?. Can't he..no layla, no bad thought. His your boss so leave good reviews for him",she said to herself.
Walking forward her hand happily began to explore..her hand slowly touched the cool warm chair. It felt really good under her palm.
"I wonder..how it would feel",she carefully and slowly sat down on the biggest chair facing the big table and computer.
Her hand landed on the table, cupping her hands together her gaze hardened.
"The files won't be ready you boy",she giggled to her joke, then her gaze turned serious again. This time she imagined Skyler sitting opposite her, begging for a job in her big company.
"You sick bastard. Who told you to come here again. Have warned you to never come to my company. Security",she laughed at her joke.
Dragging herself out of her Play, she ran her two palm over the smooth wooden table, her hands warmed instantly, it felt so Good that she came forward and layed her face on the table.
"So....good..",she whispered, her eyes slowly closed. Getting her self pulled into an irresistable sleep.
"And also...", Skyler walked into his office and his eyes locked with the frail thing on his table and his chair.
What the hell !!!.
"Baby come",ava walked in and she too saw the frail human and her mouth fell in shock and surprise.
"The bastard",she exclaimed.
Back home, Julia had carefully gotten herself clean painstakingly, making sure to avoid the burning part.
She got out out of the house and walked with great care to a pharmacy.
As she walked slowly towards the pharmacy, she came across nat again.
The idiot was with some of his male friends with few half naked beautifuls slim girls.
"Hey Julia",one of his male friends yelled out her name.
"Hey nat isn't that your girlfriend",they said looking her down.
"As if",
They burst out into laughter and Nat only smiled a little then he stopped them.
"Hey babe, where are you going to?"he asked.
"To a store. I need to get something from myself",she lied, smiling through her pained self.
"I need you at home tonight",he said.
That was the last straw. How dare him order her to come to him after beating her up. He wasn't even asking about her health.
"I can't",she said.
There was a hush silence immediately, that even nat friends couldn't help but stay quiet.
A small devious chuckle broke the silence.
"What did you say babe?",nat asked.
Julia couldn't help but flinch at the cold voice and her body waved a bit.
"I... can't",she slowly said, stuttering a little.
Nat carefully came down from his car and walked up to her, standing like some cold dangerous lion ready to eat his prey.
That calm look in his face screamed danger.
"Care to say that again?",
"I said...I can't come",
Nat hand raised up ready to slap her across her face.
Julia steadied herself for the incoming pain, ready to take it in.
She didn't close her eyes nor look away from the cold gaze of nat.
His hand had barely reached her face when a strong iron grib held his hand.
"Don't you know that it wrong to hit a lady, especially one whose fine like this",a chill voice said.
Nat looked at the face and his mouth fell in shock.
"Ro...Roshan?????"
