"Don't leave this room until I get back from the meeting, "
Nathan made Seraphina sit in one of the waiting rooms of Grayson Corporation because she didn't want to go inside with him in the meeting room and besides, he knew it would be inappropriate taking her with him to meet his head boss and he didn't want to make Seraphina uncomfortable.
"I will be back within 10 minutes , okay? "
Seraphina nodded at him with a smile and replied
"All the very best for your meeting, Nate. "
He beamed and patted her head and then left the room, leaving her alone in that waiting room because he knew that place was safe because that entire building,including that room was under strict surveillance and besides no outsider was ever allowed to get inside the company, except Seraphina.
Her azure blue eyes were scanning that entire room in curiosity which was looking clean, luxurious and beautiful. That entire building was more magnificent from inside . She was admiring that room's beauty when her phone started ringing.
Seraphina took out her bag from her shoulders and then unzipped it. She took out her phone from it and then saw her best friend and classmate's number flashing on it.
She accepted the video call and then heard her besty speaking.
"Hey! Baby Seph. How's your health now? "
Seraphina smiled hearing her and replied
"I am fine now, Evelyn. By the way, why didn't you go to school today? "
"My cousins are coming today for lunch and besides you too were not coming to school today, so I decided to skip , " Her friend answered to which she nodded.
"I'll join school from tomorrow, Eve. "
"Okay. Hey where are you, Seph right now? Are you out of your home? "
Seraphina bobbed her head at her friend's question.
"Yes, I am at Nate's workplace, "
"You mean ,you're at Grayson Corporation? " Her friend spoke, slightly shocked. Seraphina nodded.
"But I have heard that Grayson Corporation doesn't allow any outsiders to get inside their workplace? "
She heard her friend asking. Seraphina had no knowledge about it, so she just shrugged her head in denial
"I don't know anything about it. I came here with Nate. He has an important meeting with his head boss,so he has gone to attend it. "
"Oh… Okay, " Her friend stated and Seraphina again simply nodded, until
"Hey! Seph. If you are there then show me that place from inside please. I have heard that place is very beautiful and luxurious, "
Seraphina gulped hearing her friend.
"But Eve, Nate has told me to not go out of this room and besides it would be disrespectful invading this company's privacy , "
"Oh my good girl, at least show me that floor and room in which you are if nobody is present there, " Her friend retorted back.
"But… . "
"Please, please, my Seph baby, please, " Evelyn gave her puppy eyes which made Seraphina think for a minute and then sighed.
"Okay but only this floor because when I came there, this floor was empty, "
Her friend gave her an excited smile and nodded, making Seraphina beamed back and then started showing her the entire waiting area room .
Ignoring Nathan's words, Seraphina stepped outside that room and looked here and there and noticed the entire place was empty, so she started showing it to her best friend. Her action might be wrong but her intentions were not. She was just not able to deny her friend's request.
"Wow, Seph. That place is looking more mesmerizing and luxurious than I have heard about it, "
Seraphina grinned at Evelyn , hearing her.
"Thank you so much my Seph baby. I love you so much, "
Seraphina giggled at her words and replied.
"Love you too, Eve but I love Tinnie more, "
Both the girls tittered.
"Ok, now I have to go , my mom is calling me. Bye, Seph. I will see you at the school tomorrow, babe, " Evelyn blowed a kiss to her to which she softly chickled
"Bye, " Seraphina hung up the call and turned around to walk back to the waiting room but her brows arched in confusion because she forgot which direction she had come from and there were two ways in front of her.
Seraphina swallowed in nervousness. First she decided to call Nathan but stopped, thinking he would be in his meeting.
She scanned both the ways and decided to go with the right side but she never knew how wrong that right path was going to be for her.
Seraphina was taking her steps slowly and slowly but didn't know where her feet were taking her because she didn't pay attention to her surroundings when she was video chatting with her friend and now she was paying for it.
Nervously she was roaming her eyes everywhere but no one and nothing familiar caught her attention. Her entire surrounding was void of every human presence and that place was looking more quieter than the rest of that other area.
And even that place was looking way much more expensive and luxuriously enchanting than the other places in that building. Everything was made up of fine mirrors and glasses. She could see the entire sky and outside world through the huge glass walls surrounding her.
Seraphina was nervous but now she was awestruck by that place's beauty. She wonders how fortunate the owner of that place was that he had spent so much money building that infrastructure.
Her azure eyes were wandering everywhere in fascination, until her eyes stopped at that particular area where she found that the glass walls were not transparent . She was not able to see through it and that was where she noticed it was a room, especially when she found a door which was slightly open.
Her instinct told her to stay away from it but her naive curiosity was way much higher than her instinct. She took her steps towards that door because that was the only room she had seen at that place ,after that waiting area room .
Seraphina stopped in front of that slightly open huge glass door. She gulped and in her curiosity, she peaked her head through it and her eyes widened by watching that place from inside.
Every single thing inside that room was made up of shiny glass , including its decor and furniture. Seraphina had never seen something so ethereal in her real life .Evelyn was right, that place was way more beautiful than she could ever imagine. Seraphina thought.
Her gleaming blue orbs gaped at that room like she was watching an alluring dream, until her eyes fell on something which was on the desk inside that room.
Her mouth immediately watered by watching her favorite chocolate flavor cookies and biscuits. She licked her lips because her only weakness was chocolate. She could eat chocolate day and night without getting bored. She had even dreamt about making a chocolate castle and lived there ,uncountable number of times . That was how her little innocuous mind used to think and work when it comes to chocolate.
Her tummy started growling whereas her temptation for chocolate was pushing her to go inside and just grab one piece, nobody would ever find out about her not so innocent act because there was a full box of cookies and biscuits, and besides nobody was present inside. Her gaze didn't catch anyone there.
For a couple of minutes, Seraphina fought an inner battle between right and wrong and finally giving up to wrong, she decided to take one cookie and then ran away from there. The owner would never suspect that cute little thief had stolen his cookie.
Seraphina pushed the door. She peaked her head first and made sure nobody was present inside. After finding her way clear, she stepped inside that room and walking on her tiptoes , she carefully reached towards that cookie box.
She licked her lips again and took one cookie and shoved it inside her mouth at once and decided to take a couple more for her journey. She was eating one when she took the bite of another one. She was enjoying the best moment of her life, completely forgetting where she actually was standing and from whom she was stealing.
She had a habit of eating like a kid when it came to her favorite things. Her mouth had gotten smudged with the chocolate, used in making the top filling of those cookies .
Seraphina had taken another piece and took a half bite from it, but then
"What the hell are you doing here? "
"What the hell are you doing here? " Her eyes widened in pure horor. Her blood ran cold. Her entire body turned numb in fear, hearing that raspily hoarse voice which was the deepest voice she had ever heard in her life. She immediately dropped that half eaten cookie back on the box and closed her eyes tightly. She didn't dare to turn around and look at the owner of that voice and now she was regretting her decision of getting out of that waiting room and specially came inside this room. "Turn the fuck around right now, " Seraphina terribly flinched at her place when she heard that voice get raised a little and those choice of words made tears prick into her eyes in fear and panic. For a brief moment, the room fell into a deadly silence until Seraphina heard those heavy footsteps getting closer to her direction. "I said fucking turn… . " That heavy growling voice halted when Seraphina turned around and her face became visible to those eyes. Those eyes which shamelessly scanned h
"Not until you pay for what you have taken from me, Seraphina , " Her azure orbs widened when she heard him taking her name but how did he know her name, that question stunned her. "How do you know my name?" Seraphina asked him while gazing into his silver eyes, shocked , which made his smirk turn more devilish. "Hmmm… " Her face tingled when his warm breathing fanned over it. "Do you know who I am? " He asked her and she just shrugged her head in denial, making him smirked more. "Seems like I am not that famous yet , " He uttered, filling her eyes with confusion. "So let me introduce myself first, " Seraphina heard him speaking and she just stood there, staring at him untidily, until"So my name is Ar… . " His words halted with her phone call. Seraphina's gaze enlarged by watching Nathan calling her again. She picked his phone call. "Hello.. ""Sorry, I am coming. Don't worry, please. No I am not lost, I'll be there. Okay, " She hung up her phone and looked at him, who was
His steel grey eyes were keenly gazing at that pencil which was tainting the whiteness of that painting board. "So she was stealing something from your private cabin? " His lips stretched into a smirk ,hearing those words and remembering that face which he recalled by hearing them. His hand continued to move that pencil on that pale board. "But what exactly was she stealing? " He halted his hand and then turned his head around and looked at the owner of that voice. "Chocolate cookie, " "What? Ignoring everything inside your cabin,she was stealing cookies?" He chuckled and again turned his head to look at that painting board. "Yes, she was stealing cookies, Nick. " Nick was his friend from his school days. He was like a brother to him and now Nick was even working for him and he knew almost each and everything about him. "Wow, man. Of all the expensive things in your cabin, she was interested in taking those cookies. Damn, " Nick commented, earning a snigger from his 26 years
After One Week"Sephi, don't leave your school until I come there to pick you up. The weather is really very bad and the weather forecasting is telling that there are full chances of heavy rain and snowfall in an hour , " Seraphina heard her brother telling her on the phone . She was sitting in her school's cafeteria along with her friend Evelyn as they got done with their school for that day . Many other students were also waiting there as the weather had turned terribly bad all of a sudden. Heavy rain was falling and there was a high alert of heavy snowfall in their city . "I am sitting on the cafeteria with Eve, don't worry Nate, " She replied and heard Nathan sighing on the other side because he had become late to pick her up from her school as he had to attend some kind of meeting in his workplace . "I will be there within 20 minutes. Don't leave your school, Sephi. Roads are very dangerous at this time, " Nathan uttered, who was driving his car . "I won't and you drive care
The weather had worn a deepest shade of darkness. Shiny lights were scattering all over the sky which was roaring loudly. Heavy rain was falling on her already drenched body who was running and running, without knowing and caring about where her feet were taking her. She was hugging herself tightly in order to hide her naked skin. Tears were aggressively falling from her eyes. Her entire body was hurting and she was shivering badly because of the cold and abrupt blows of air. Her feet were running as fast as possible because she wanted to be out of that place, away from those venomous people and the second she got to escape away from them , she ran away from there. Her loud sobbing was getting muffled under the heavy sound of rainfall and clouds roaring. Afraid was an understatement, Seraphina was terrified after what had just happened with her and what could have happened. She was crying harder and harder, whereas her feet didn't stop even for a second, until she felt someone gra
After a drive of almost 20 minutes, he pulled his car outside his private penthouse. A place where he had never taken anyone before. A place about which nobody knew existed ,except his mother and friend Nicklaus but even they had never visited that place because Arzal had strictly made it completely reserved for him and his privacy. But today, he went against his own self. Today he broke another rule for her. Today he again made her that exception which he thought he was never going to have until that blue eyes exception came into the picture. Hoisting her up in his embrace , he was taking her to his room, where he used to live. He placed her carefully on the bed. Seraphina was still unconscious. He placed his palm over her forehead and noticed she still had a very high temperature which made him sigh because he knew in that weather, no doctor would be able to reach there. He clutched his wet hairs in exasperation until his eyes fell on her dampened clothes, hairs and body . She w
His lips delicately touched her nose pin and tenderly brushed over her soft skin which made Seraphina to hide her face more into his neck because he was disturbing her precious sleep. A small grin crept on his face by watching her snuggling her face into his neck like a little tired kitten. He grabbed his shirt and carefully made her wear it and then again laid her down on the bed. Seraphina was still not in her senses. He started buttoning the shirt and after getting done with it, his gaze wandered all over her body. He wondered ,how could someone look so adorable yet tempting at the same time? Indeed she was unique and special but the thing he didn't understand at that time was that it was just his gaze which was making her look ethereal to him. After covering her with his shirt, he was about to pull the duvet over her but stopped when his eyes fell on her exposed knees . They were badly brushed which made him to fist his palms. His body ached to peel those men's skin brutally, w
Seraphina felt his feet halting beside her. "Eat it, " She heard him saying in his cold tone and then her nostrils got filled with that delicious smell of soup. She slightly tossed her head and her tummy started groaning in hunger by watching that full bowl of hot vegetable soup but she didn't give up to his strategy of making her calm. Seraphina again buried her face into her knees and completely ignored the soup and its maker . His rage had calmed by watching her cute childish behaviour of ignoring the soup after glancing at it desirably. "Eat it , Sera. " "I am not hungry, " She lied , knowing her tummy was groaning in hunger. He sighed at her answer and then sat on the bed beside her. Without any further warning, he cupped her head and made her look upward. And his chest felt a stinging sensation when he saw her face and nose had turned red with her tears, which she was still falling from those beautiful eyes of hers. He trailed his hands down to palm her face and Seraphin
