Devil (3)

Remo tried to figure out every possible answer for his boss's bad mood, but the only possible reason that would pop up in his mind was that he came to office..

'If that's so, then boss, how can you be such a black belly? Don't you have to earn money for madam and your family?'

He shook off his head helplessly, and unlocked his phone to inform all the project directors.

The moment all the directors were informed, the directors almost stumbled over to where they were standing and then turned petrified.

All the directors immediately got into it and started making a report. Their minds were racing and their hands typed so fast. No matter how outstanding and confident they were with their work, having this surprise meeting gave these directors unable to react immediately and seemed as if they were immediately tossed in the front lines of a battle, to fight their boss's wrath.

Everybody quickly and efficiently compiled up their work and had already started preparing for the meeting. But, everything was actually a proof which proved the efficiency of the people working in his company. Also, the level of Aaric's sharpness and judgement to place the people on their position and tasks. All the people whom he appointed were all diligent and persistent at their work. A surprise meeting proved all of it.

The Accounting and Finance Department was the first one to stand up and presented his report. It can really be seen how these directors are really professionals and seasoned veterans. In just a short amount of time, they had immediately gathered data and interpreted it into the business language. Unfortunately, the one who made them do such tiring work early in the morning doesn't seem to listen to their words and had closed off his hearing.

Throughout the meeting, this was the first time that Aaric was not fully immersed in his work and kept on looking at his watch. Sometimes he would glance at his phone to check any calls from Aunt Bell about Sasha or he would just swirl the pen in his hand.

Bang!

All the people inside flinched and the director of the Production Department almost lost his strength to stand. Unfortunately, he was the one who was giving his report. 'Did I do something wrong?'

He started recalling his speech that he just now delivered but could not understand what went wrong.

"You sit down, report from the Managing Department. Start!" Aaric's voice was soft but to the people inside the room, it was loud and booming like a clap of thunder that it made their insides shake.

BANG--

"Is this even a presentation? Don't think if I did not come to the office to check on the work, that does not mean that I will never come! Next week I want proper project reports of all our past, recent and coming projects. No mistakes!" Aaric's voice boomed loudly in the room and the documents presented to him beforehand was tossed fiercely into the floor and the papers immediately scattered everywhere.

==============

By the time Aaric came home it was already half past seven. No matter how much quickly he wanted to finish his work, he still got late.

The moment he entered the mansion, he saw Sasha sleeping on the sofa in the hall. As it was raining from the past few days the weather was quite cold.

He stepped soundlessly towards her and frowned when he saw her cuddling in a corner. He quickly took off his blazer and placed it gently on top of her.

Aaric could not control the anger bubbling inside him. He asked the servants to look after her but here she was shivering in the cold and nobody placed a blanket on her. He could not yell as she was sleeping, so he moved around to look where Aunt Bell and servants went.

Since the moment he had entered the mansion, nobody was there. He went outside to enquire about the guards but surprisingly they did not see anybody going out.

He turned back and saw that Sasha was awake. Maybe because of footsteps she got alerted. He knew she was a light sleeper. She opened her eyes and yawned. Then smiled sweetly and said,

"Hey! You are back. Welcome home." First her smile, then her sweet voice saying 'welcome home' like her earlier self when she used to welcome him, Aaric's heart felt warm and was filled with happiness.

At that instant he wanted to hug her tight and kiss her senselessly. But right now he could not. He needs to wait for her till the day she feels for him or when she regains her memory back. He would never ever force her to do something she would be unwilling to do.

"Yeah. I am back. How are you?"

"I am feeling good. Why don't you fresh up, then we can talk…"

"Okay…" Aaric could guess what she wanted to talk about. But how was he supposed to start and from where…
