"I will assume that you have made yourself comfortable here?" Sarah asked with a smile as she came into the kitchen of her cozy yet lavish apartment.
They both come here, in her apartment which is close to her office and spend the night here. If anyone is wondering whether anything happened between them or not, nothing happened! Nothing happened after the kiss which they both shared which was initiated by Sarah but was led by Elijah. They both just broke off from the kiss and acted like nothing happened. But a small smile at the corner of her lips and a relaxed attitude of Elijah after the kiss said it all.
Elijah turned around abruptly with a strange look on his face. It was like a dark cloud which passed away as soon as he realized her presence. She noticed that change of expression and it made her confused.
"Are you okay?" She couldn't stop herself from asking as a small frown appeared on her f
Leave me reviews and gems!
He smiled at her after hearing her. "No, Sarah. Nothing happened. It's just from two weeks ago to till now, it was only you who talked which I loved to listen to. But I never said anything. I didn't open my mouth because I didn't want to offend any of you because you were superior to me. But in this one week, you have proved to me that you consider me as your equal if nothing else. I am really grateful to you for that. I know you are trying your best to make me feel welcomed and that proves what a big hearted person you are. You even went to give me your special first kiss to make me believe in you. I thank you for that with all my heart." He said with a lot of sincerity swimming in his eyes. "I don't know where you are going with this but can we please change the subject of our conversation?" Sarah joked with a small roll of her eyes. "No, please hear me out. What I want to say is it's really weird and
"Yes, I have all your requirements, Mr Donald. I will make sure you have the best anniversary this year. Thank you so much for trusting me and my company. We will not disappoint you. Okay, see you then. Have a nice day!" She spoke in a professional tone and cut the video conference which she was having with one of her clients. The smile which she was wearing till now was off her face as soon as she cut the call and wore her usual poker face. "Gosh, I am exhausted." She said and let out a sigh. She looked at the watch on her wrist to see it was five in the afternoon already. As if her busy schedule wasn't enough, now she has to go back to the mansion to go through another mental turmoil. Another freaking family dinner! She let out another sigh at the thought of it. She looked through her phone to see if she had missed any call or important messages. Suddenly she remembe
"You remember the promise, right?" Elijah asked one last time before tapping the switch of the calling bell of the Watson mansion. Sarah gritted her teeth after hearing him saying the same thing for the umpteenth time now. She has started getting frustrated. She turned around to glare at him. "Yes, yes, I remember! I will not lose my temper and snap at them. I will just sit there like a robot as they play with you as if you are a ragged doll. I will not try to talk to you till the time we are around my family and behave cold around you and them so that they don't find out about what's going on between us. You basically want me to act like a complete careless stranger just the moment we get inside the mansion or whenever we are surrounded by people. That is what you want, right?" She snapped at him harmlessly after not being able to hear his constant reminder of the stupid promise which she made an hour or so ago.
IN SARAH'S OFFICE "That's unbelievable!" Mary exclaimed in shock. "How could you miss this point?! How could they keep this kind of clause in the contract?! That's utterly insane?! But again, how can you miss this point?!" She yelled in total frustration while throwing her hands up and around. "Will you stop throwing your hands around and yelling? They are giving me a headache now!" Sarah said in irritation while rubbing her forehead which actually started to form a headache. "Seriously?! Are you worried about that? Didn't you hear a word of what I was saying? We are in deep trouble! Think about that! Not about my hands and tone!" Mary snapped at her again. "Well, I am trying to do that. But if you stop distracting me with your hands and yell, I might just be successful in thinking of something useful as well." Sarah snapped back which made Mary huff. "Just sit down for a se
"Grandma? Don't you think that 'the family dinners' are becoming too common and often in this house nowadays?" Natasha asked in a sarcastic tone while having a sweet smile on her face. Helena looked at her in displeasure and irritation as she put on a long face at Natasha. Everyone at the table went silent and looked at Helena with anticipation, waiting for her to give Natasha a piece of her mind. Samantha kicked Natasha under the table, making her look at her with a frown of confusion. In response, Samantha glared at her. "If you don't like the family dinners, you might absolutely hate the idea of being one of the heirs of the family too, right, Natasha?" Helena snapped at her in her cold tone. Natasha's eyes widened like saucers after hearing that and her mouth hand opened. "No! No! Grandma! I didn't mean that!" Natasha exclaimed in shock while getting caught off guard.
"Everyone! I demand everyone's attention solely on me." Helena said in a loud and clear voice and waited for one minute to work according to her words and look at her, leaving whatever they were doing. She smiled in satisfaction after she got everyone's attention on her in less than ten seconds. "Now that I've got everyone's attention on me, I would like to start the main topic of today's meeting." She said and everyone looked at her with more concentration. "What is it, grandma? Do you want Sarah to give you great grandchildren this time?" Liam asked in an insulting tone while throwing a smirk toward Sarah. Almost laughed out loud hearing that. Sarah's blood boiled at that. She absolutely hated how everyone thought that it's funny to make fun of her every time. There was someone else who hated seeing her get teased. He silently witnessed the scene and promised to himself to change it soon.
"How are they gonna play a big role in this?" Liam asked with a small frown. Helena nodded at him. "I have set up some steps for five of you. Hard steps which you all have to cross in order to reach your goals." Helena started talking while looking at all five of them and her eyes stopped at Sarah. Sarah looked at her with raised eyebrows after hearing that. It sounded so funny to her ears. "The same for everyone?" Sarah asked while looking at Helena directly into the eyes to make her intimidate enough to show what she planned in her eyes. Helena's eyes flattered under her gaze but she couldn't fall weak. She looked away from her for a second before looking back at her. "Yes! The same rules for everyone but can't guarantee about the journey. It can be smooth for some but bumpy for others." Helena replied and Sarah didn't take much to understand what Helena meant by that. Her face
After Helena was not distributing all the files to everyone, she went back to her seat and sat down. She was silent for a moment before looking back at them. "You all must be wondering what's inside. Let me inform you that there are listed five tasks inside the file for all five of you to complete. It's the same for everyone one of you. Before you open the file and read the rules one by one, I would like to inform our respective vice-president's' role in all these." She said and took a break for a few seconds before continuing again. "They are the vice president of our companies as I already mentioned. Each of them are aware of every single thing about the company after the CEO, which is me. Still. As they know everything about the company, hence they are going to be like your guardian angel in this." Helena said. "How?" Natasha questioned in confusion. She wasn't understanding things about companies and all.
