Lisa came back to her office and asked cleaner to clean the glass in the hall. For whole day, she couldn’t focus on her work and kept thinking about Augustus words. Maybe he is right, it’s not a crime if I’m a widow. It’s just in my destiny to be like this.
What happened yesterday, she felt very guilty and after thinking for a long time, she had decided that she would try her best behavior with Mr. Augustus. And will never offend him in future. That’s the reason why she was so concerned about him just now and also massaged his hand to release the pain.
But again, she has been tricked by him. She sighed frustratingly, leaning on her chair, eyes closed.
There was a knock on door, she said “Come in” while kept her eyes closed.
“Hey ., you’re not allowed to sleep in your office.” A voice came in teasing tone.
She opened her eyes and sat straight up, maintaining her calm posture. “I was just resting my eyes” she explained.
“Gotcha.! I scared you. Didn’t I?” Cristian said smiling wickedly.
Lisa rolled her eyes and asked calmly. “What are you doing in my office.?”
“I came here for some work and saw nobody was there on reception desk. I thought I should inform you. You know, if someone complains it would be a great problem for you to handle. As you’re new Manager.” He explained.
“Oh.. in that case. I’ll go and look what’s the matter. Thank you for informing me.” She said embarrassedly and left the office.
When she reaches at the desk. As expected, there was no one. She frowned looked left and right but Anna was nowhere to be seen. She stand behind the desk looking around. Just then, main door opened and a lady entered with a strong scent of perfume all over her body. Lisa frowned and looked at the woman.
“Where is Augustus? Tell him Giovanna is here to meet him.” She said in a commanding tone.
Lisa felt some negative vibes from that woman. She nodded and called Presidential Suite.
Ring ... Ring ... Ring ..
nobody answered. She tried again, no response.
She looked at woman in front of her and said apologetically, “No one is picking call at Presidential Suite.”
The woman got angry and asked irritatedly, “Give me his room card.”
Lisa said nervously, “Sorry Ma’am I cannot give you room card without identifying you.”
“What do you mean.?” She asked through clenched teeth. “What is your relation.?” Lisa asked hesitantly.
“I am his fiancé.” The woman held her chin high and answered arrogantly.
Fiancé? What? Is Mr. Augustus is engaged? I have never seen him wearing a ring and if she is his fiancé why she didn’t know where he is right now? Lisa’s mind was in a mess. She looked at her with suspicious eyes.
The woman cleared her throat and sneered, “What now.? Give me the card or I will talk to your Manager.”
Lisa smiled and said, “I am the Manager, ma’am.”
The woman stunned and looked at her in displeasure. “Look at me..! Why do you think I lie.? I can show you my I’d if you want to check.” She offered.
Lisa looked at woman carefully. She was very beautiful and could be described as an eye catching beauty. She had an oval face, straight eye brows, straight nose, small mouth, and white skin. She had a slightly curly short hair, delicate makeup, and a black and white sleeveless suit which looked very decent. She was simply an exceptionally gorgeous woman.
Lisa truly believed her but still she has to inform Mr. Augustus about it. What if he gets angry and fired her.? She can’t offend him.
After thinking for a while, Lisa said politely, “Ma’am just a moment please.” She went back to her office, picked up her phone and dialed Augustus’s number she had saved after coming back from meeting.
Ring ... Ring ... Ring ...
Nobody picked it. She went back with her phone and her phone rang. She looked down it was Augustus. She answered. “Hello, Mr. Augustus.”
“Lisa, what’s the matter?” He asked in a deep and low voice.
“There’s is a woman saying she is your fiancé and asking for your room card. Her name is Giovanna.” She told him.
Augustus asked confusingly. “So?” “So, I don’t know if she is telling truth. Should I give her your card.? I need to identify.” She asked
Augustus was stunned for a moment and he thought to himself. This woman is really interested she didn’t know anything that’s why she called me bachelor yesterday. Such a fool.
While Augustus was lost in his thoughts. Lisa called him, “Mr Augustus.. Are you there.?” “Hmm..” he replied.
“What should I do.?” She asked anxiously.
Just then Giovanna snatched her phone and said angrily, “Augustus where are you? Why you’re not answering my calls.?”
“Giovanna I am busy.” He said straightly.
“This... your useless Manager is not handing me the key card. Fired her right now.” She demanded. “Giovanna.! She was doing her job. I am busy I won’t be able to meet you when I’ll be free I’ll let you know.” He knew she won’t go easily and added, “By the way, don’t try to make a fuss or forced her for room card you know she is a psychopath. What if she break your leg in order to stop you from going in. How would it be like to live with a broken leg..?”
Giovanna looked at her legs and than the lady opposite her. She felt a sense of fear and didn’t say anything.
Augustus smiled wickedly. He knew he succeed so he said in a concerning tone, “You go back and take care of yourself. No need to argue with her I won’t be be able to see you with broken leg.” Giovanna said panickly. “Okay” and handed her phone.
She turned around and ran away like she has seen a ghost. Lisa looked at her back wondering what happened.
Then she looked at her phone and saw that the call was still connected. Lisa put the phone on her ear and said, “She’s gone.”
Augustus answered. “I know” Both felt silent after that.
Only heavy breathing of them can be heard by phone.
“Lisa” Augustus called her name after a while.
“Yes” she replied. “I’m glad you called me.” Augustus said that sentence and hung up the call.
She looked at her mobile absently for a while.
Just then Anna came back to her desk. Upon seeing Lisa, she said hurriedly, “My mother called ... I forgot to give her my brother’s prescription so she called asking for it. I am sorry it was urgency. It won’t happen again please don’t deduct my salary.” She said in a pleading tone with watery eyes.
Lisa glanced at her and said in a straight tone, “it should never happen again.” She then took her bag and left the hotel.
At home, Lisa felt very restless in her heart. Somehow she had started getting attracted to Augustus. After tossing and turning for a while, Lisa switched on her laptop and searched for Augustus Carlos.A picture of Augustus Carlos appeared on screen. He was wearing black cashmere coat. His light brown hair were neatly styled. His blue eyes were deep and cold. His features were really sharp.Augustus Carlos is the only son of Rheena Carlos and Alberto Carlos. His father, Alberto Carlos is the one who started this hotel business. He owns a chain of five luxury hotels, which are situated in palazzos in Italy’s main cities: (Milan, Venice, Florence, Punta Ala and Rome)However, when he died, his wife took over the business. At the age of 22, Augustus took his place in business and got engaged to her cousin, Giovanna. After that, Augustus built 4 more hotels, two in France, one in London and one in the Maldives.The Grand Carlos Hotels were
At the Hotel. The construction work had already started And very few staff members were working in the hotel.After lunch time, someone knocked at Lisa’s office door. “Come in” Lisa said without looking up.The door opened and she smelled a strong scent of roses. She looked up and froze by looking at the man infront of her.The man was wearing black jeans, shirt and a coat with a hat on his head. His figure looked different. His bulgy stomach was not there anymore. Their was no chubbyness on his face either. Looked like he has joined the gym. The man was looking at her shocked face and a smile appeared on his face.“Heard you have been promoted. Just wanted to Congratulate.” The man said putting the bouquet on the table and sitting on the chair infront of her.“Thank you for your kindness, now leave.” Lisa said indifferently.Looking at her cold attitude. The man became furious and said a
Next day, Lisa was jogging at the park. Just then her phone rang.She stopped and looked at her phone and a flash of worry and panic appeared on her face. She answered the phone with shaking hands, "Hello.""Miss Lisa Mathew." A lady asked. "Yes" Lisa answered."Your father again tried to commit suicide, we have admitted him to Holy Spirit Hospital please come immediately.""Yes." Lisa said. Her voice hoarse and than she fell on the ground and tears started falling down from her eyes.Augustus was as usual, following Lisa while jogging. When she suddenly stopped and answered call with shaking hands. He was thinking why her behavior suddenly changed by this call just than she fell on the ground holding her phone tightly.Augustus rushed towards her and crouched down opposite her. She seemed to be numb all of a sudden, and her eyes were empty, blankly looking at her phone. There was even no sound when she cried, but onl
Augustus saw Lisa coming over to him. He stood up and asked her in worry. "Where were you? I had been looking for you. I asked a nurse telling your appearance and she told me she saw you going on the third floor but I didn't know the ward number so I waited here."Lisa looked in his deep blue eyes and felt warmth in her heart. She felt guilty too, he helped her too much and yet she didn’t tell him the reason of coming here.Seeing her lost again, Augustus called her out in his deep voice “Lisa”Lisa then said hesitantly, “My father... he tried to commit suicide this morning. He has been in Mental asylum for last three years.” She didn’t look into his eyes while speaking.After hearing her, Augustus was shocked and then in the next moment he pulled her into his arms and hugged her.Since Lisa’s mother died, she is the one taking care of everyone nobody has taken care of her or comforted her till now ev
...When Lisa reached home, she went straight to the bathroom and took a cold shower. Her whole body was on fire since Augustus kissed her unexpectedly. She washed her face many times in irritation but she could still felt the warm sensation on her cheek.After bath, she cooked for herself and than started cleaning the house. While cleaning she found the hoodie that Augustus gave her this morning. She thought, she should gave it back as soon as possible. But by thinking of seeing Augustus she got frightened, what if he kissed her again.?She had already sent an email for leave when she was in hospital. So she doesn’t need to go to the hotel today. But she was feeling haunted while looking up at his hoodie. So after thinking for a long time, she decided to give it back to him this evening.Before heading out she called her assistant, Natasha “Hello..! Natasha is Mr. Augustus is on his presidential suite.?”Natasha thought for a whi
...In The HotelLisa arrived at Hotel. After 2 hours, her assistant Natasha came in, "Mr. President has called you in his office" she informed her.Lisa panicked. "What?"Natasha raised her eyebrows. "Is there anything wrong?"Lisa put her calm face back and said, "No, nothing. Did he mention anything?"Natasha shook her head. "No"Lisa stood up and went to the elevator. She pressed number ten. She was very nervous, she tried to avoid him yesterday but today she can't do anything. She had to face him. What if he do something to her again? What will she do? After all, he is the boss.Ughhh... it was just a small kiss.! Why thinking too much? Elevator door opened. Lisa walked out and went straight to Presidential Suite.She gathered up all her courage and knocked on the door. "Come in" A voice came.She opened the door nervously and went inside. Augustus was sitting on a single sofa. He was wearing a grey coloured
At the gate, Lisa couldn’t stop any taxi and cursed in her heart for coming over here to lunch. She should have refused them but how could she? Ahhh... she felt so irritated she stomped her foot angrily and decided to walk to the hotel.She started walking and after taking some steps she heard someone calling her name “Miss Lisa.”. She turned around and saw Lester, who was waving his hand at her.Lisa saw Lester, he was holding the car door for her. She smiled at him and sat inside. Lester sat on the driving seat but didn’t drive. Lisa got confused and asked, “Why you’re not driving.?”“I am waiting for the boss.” Lester replied. Just then, the door opened and Augustus sat inside. Lisa thought Did he tell Lester to bring me? Did he even noticed that I left?Augustus looked at Lisa’s angry face and he felt a desire to kiss her again but he stopped himself. Lisa felt his gaze on her. She turned and
Just when Lisa was leaving, someone held her hand, she turned and looked at Maria, "What is it?""Thank you Auntie, for playing with me." Maria said."It's a pleasure to play with you." Lisa pinched her cheek and Maria smiled shyly."And remember princess don't cry." Lisa said patting her forehead. Maria then hugged her and kissed her on the cheek than left.Lisa was stunned by her sudden hug. "She likes you." Cristian said from behind."She is very cute girl, I wonder why her father didn't accompany her today." Lisa said disappointedly."Who knows? Shall I drop You? It's dark." Cristian said while looking up at the sky.Lisa nodded and both went together to the car....In The HotelLisa's phone rang. She picked it up with a smile, "Hello..!""Happy Birthday Sister," Laura and Daniel shouted at phone.Lisa put her phone away and said irritably, "Are you both going to blast my eardrums? Huh..?"
