~1 year and 6 months later:
"What is this?" Aiden slammed his hands on the table as he was filled with rage.Although this was a small meeting between 5 to 6 people on a small project, all of them knew how much Aiden is a perfectionist. He wished everything to be perfect. No one says anything to him because obviously, he is the owner and CEO of this company. And secondly and most importantly, the company was this successful because he wants everything to be perfect."I told them that this would not be suitable. But they didn't care about what I said and continued to do it in their way. Well here are the results Miss. Tina," Amy sarcastically said to Tina.
"If this is what we are going to submit to the clients then we better not do it," Aiden took the paper and tore it into pieces.
I was enjoying this show but there should be something Interesting too. All these tearing papers and angriness w"Celine are you guys done with the project I told you about yesterday,"Aiden said as soon as he entered the meeting room. Today's meeting was located in the large meeting area as Aiden would be discussing this new and important project.Celine handed him the file and he took a look at it for few seconds and then put it with his other files."Meet me after this meeting," Aiden said to Celine and moved towards the projector.Everyone was looking at him intensely, trying to find the reason that why did he call this urgent meeting suddenly this early."The purpose of this meeting today was to tell you about the new project we landed a few days ago. It's with one of the biggest companies in the U.A.E. The Sheikhs would be arriving in this city after 2 to 3 weeks and it would be best if we show our full potential to them. A few people would be selected to work on this project specifically but you all need to work ha
Aiden's Perspective:The sun was setting down and the clouds are pretty today. I took a sip of coffee, mesmerized by today's view as I was watching this from my office glass wall. I was still in my office although it was time for everyone to go home. But I need to settle some things and secondly, what would I do at home? The answer worked so I thought why not just stay for a few hours.This project means a lot to me. Well to be honest, since I have come back, every project has become very important for me. Digging myself into work and ignoring everything around me is what I have been doing the past year.***"Are you done?" Noah entered as soon as the time turned to 8:00 pm."Wow, Noah! For the first time, you didn't drag me home before 8:00 pm," I said as the corner of my mouth curled up.I started cleaning my table as Noah walked towards me."What can I say when the boss h
I finally reached my company's entrance. I don't know what happened today, but there was no taxi specifically on that road. It took me more than 15 minutes to reach here. I needed a shower and new clothes before entering the meeting professionally.The receptionist and guard at the entrance stood up to greet me. With my hand gesture, I told them to sit down. They were surprised that I walked here and they didn't even know from where. They could understand that wherever I came from was pretty far away based on my looks right now. My hairs were messy too along with my appearance.I didn't care about how I looked right now because it was far better than sharing the same car with annoying Tess. For the first time since the work pressure of last year, I got time for myself. I walked and that pretty much cleared my mind and somehow gave me peace.As soon as my separate VIP lift doors opened, Noah jumped toward me
I froze in my place as the figure standing at the projector smiled brightly towards me slowly introducing herself."Oh my God! Doll-face," Celine shouted in surprise.Everyone was looking at Celine's formal tone and surprising reaction.Amy covered her face by putting her hands on her mouth as she was surprised. I think Noah knew it as he was satisfied and stunned both. Everyone in the meeting room was surprised by our reactions especially Tess who was mostly annoyed.I felt like Amy would cry soon by the way she was covering her face. She was happy. There was a tense atmosphere around the room as everyone couldn't figure out our expressions.Meanwhile, I was the one whose world stopped as soon as she entered the meeting room. Her red off-shoulder sweater top showed her collar bone perfectly. Black heels and a black skirt looked perfect on her flawless skin. She was looking like an angel.
Layla's perspective:The voice of my boots heel clicking through this quiet hallway was making me nervous too. Today was the day we were about to get informed that whether we are in or not and if we are, then at what position we would be selected for.But I didn't expected to be here at this time just because someone called me at this hour asking for my help and I couldn't refuse that person."Miss Celine?" I asked slowly as I entered her open area office.It was completely dark and I didn't understand that why did she call me this early or more likely at this hour."You came doll face?" I heard a desperate voice coming from the room infront of me which was filled with darkness. I would have fainted because of fear of darkness but soon the lights opened as soon as Celine pressed this button under her desk, revealing herself.My eyes finally
Celine told me everything about whom I would be facing in this company for now especially she focused a lot on Tess. I noticed how she behaved yesterday with me or Aiden but I ignored her at that time. Now every puzzle was fitting in as Celine was telling us about the incidents with Tess. How much Tess is crazy for Aiden and stuff like that.She also told me about the incident that happened yesterday with Aiden. Noah told her about this whole incident while Aiden was present in the room. Judging by everything she has told me about Tess till now, I was pretty sure that she is pretty annoying. It was a lot funny to hear but I felt sad for Aiden sho suffered from all of this Tess drama all alone.I was thinking about this and lost in my thoughts when Amy misread my expressions."Don't worry Aiden never even looks at her in that way. He has never looked at someone like that since we came back. Rest assured," Amy said winking at me.&
I was giving him a death stare so that he can leave my hand which he was shamelessly holding in front of everyone. But instead, he tightened the grip and excused himself from the employees surrounding him. They didn't even nod as their mouths were wide open in surprise.He suddenly started moving towards his office as all the eyes in the room followed us. I tried to cover my face as I was embarrassed but it was too late. I could hear people whispering behind our backs but Aiden couldn't care less. He was just stubbornly holding my hand tight and moving towards his office. I was trying to pull my hand, but his grip was too strong.We finally entered his office and I jerked my hand away from him as soon as he closed the door behind us."What the hell are you doing?" I almost yelled at him."Woah Woah dimples calm down," Aiden said moving towards his desk. I slowly took a deep breath trying to calm myself down. He leaned again
Aiden's perspective:"What do you want now Tess?" I was annoyed by seeing her here every day and god knows how much I'm enduring her behavior. And who knows that how much longer I would be seeing her here."Oh, I just personally wanted to come and tell you that we'll be announcing results in an hour," "What do you mean by us?" I asked as I was confused because there was no way she was deciding on the results."Oh, Celine just handed me the results file. So you know I'm a part of it too even though I haven't seen the loss yet. Or should I check it now?" She said and was about to open the file when I asked her to hand it over to me. After making one of her irritating faces, she handed me the file.The decision was taken by everyone except me because I believe their decisions in this matter. Most of all, I knew Celine had a good eye for people."What was this
