Picking him up from the office

Eric finished all his today's in the first half of the day. In lunch time also he was seen too busy with other works.

Charlie unable to see him like that dragged out of his office saying "buddy slow down, you have to eat to work like a machine. Come now we will go to near by restaurant."

"No charlie, I don't have time to have lunch you go on your own. I have to finish this before lunch" finished eric not even looking up from his laptop.

Charlie shaking his head dragged him out of his room until they reach outside of the office, he didn't slow down at all.

"Come on eric, look at the crowd see how lively they are. I agree work is important but not more than your health.

Now shut your mouth and follow me for lunch or else I will have to uncle decide yourself which option will you choose."

Eric who wanted strongly to protest shut his mouth and followed him silently to the restaurant. Through out the way eric didn't speak much.

Charlie is the who blabbered till they reach the restaurant. After reaching they ordered two burgers and two cokes for each of them.

Then choosing a nearby two seater table, charlie dragged eric along with him. Charlie looking at eric commented

"Eric you have not changed at all, the same old Eric who was so shy and introvert to speak with others and used to stay alone at one corner.

Don't you want to make any new friends, after all your computer doesn't speak with you. "

Eric listening to his question dazed for a long time before he answered absent mindedly "I want to be friends with ariel. I want to see her smile every time. "

Charlie opened his mouth in O shape listening to his childhood friend's unexpected answer. Eric sensing what he spoke just coughed and then didn't speak at all.

Charlie also didn't probe further, then had lunch quietly. Eric is eating a bit clumsily while thinking how to explain.

To his relief charlie didn't mention anything about it at all even after they reached the office. Charlie went out to take a stroll along the office.

Eric informed the security letting him stroll around the office. Entire afternoon he checked the new version for their tablet with all type of issues.

When it passed all the developer tests, eric informed the firewall team to check against it.

Mean while ariel after finishing all her work, she started her investigation about the pink production.

She came to know in less than an hour the pink is the same production she established along with xander using their first letters as the production house name.

She found out he recently changed the registered this new name for the production. Looking at all the information, ariel just laughed thinking about her previous self.

Her old self indeed too stupid to trust a snake and believe it will not harm. She immediately arranged an meeting with the documentary producer she spoke on her welcome party.

The meeting is scheduled for tomorrow, she also asked some one from her own company AEC to keep an eye on pink production company's improve.

She gave a smirk and said "the time starts for a new show with the shameless couple being lead."

Even though the share holders. we're not happy with this young lady as boss for them, they didn't make any things difficult for her.

After having lunch with her uncle, ariel started looking into the annual accounts of the company.

She is an accounts graduate by profession but insisted on entering into entertainment industry as xander wanted to become a director.

Upon his persuading to support him she agreed to become a model at such a tender age.

Later christian taught her some business tactics he personally learnt with his experience to handle greedy people.

In the business circle profits speak volumes, ariel not greedy but losing to some one is not in her dictionary.

After teaching this christian left to meet his old friends. ahe used to meet them regularly despite being busy with their businesses.

Ariel is not a workaholic, she likes to finish her work in a given time and then take care of her personal life.

It took total three hours to look into the accounts and she didn't find anything suspicious.

Later she asked the marketing team to provide her detailed information about the new projects.

Unlike fernandes group evans group is involved in all types industries in business so she needs to check everything is going well.

Fernandes company is totally involved in electronic devices and their technologies along in the share markets.

With Eric's knowledge they became number one in both the industries. His inventions in the mobiles are top and trending in the country N.

They also have stores across the country which sells their electronic devices. Eric is not only quite talented with electronics but also genius in inventing new things.

Ariel finished her requests with another departments then relaxed for some time in her office.

She called charlie to ask whether they will come home with her, thinking for a bit he said "I am with a friend now will come later.

Eric is quite busy so he may forget to come home you go and pick him up when you leave" saying so he disconnected the call smiling to himself.

She said fine no problem before he disconnect the call, since it's still 6'o clock she decided to look into her own company and went to AEC which is situated very near to Evans conglomerate.

When she reached to her office everyone were leaving for their homes. In the past one and half years ahe painstakingly developed this baby of hers into a successful company now.

The company's main aim is to produce low budget movies with good story lines and giveaway chance to new comers who wanted to make big in the industry.

If she encounters some one like her who left entertainment industry because of some problems she personally will help them to give a come back.

When she went inside the cabin, she can see there is a new recruitment going on for the staff. Here she doesn't have any assistant so she bought Emily along with her.

Ariel went into the recruitment room and, asked them to leave for the day and she will look into this profiles.

She came across a profile which seemed quite similar but unable to recognize so she passed it to the Emily to get complete information.

She marked some profiles and passed it to the hr department to conduct interviews for those profiles.

She spent some time admiring her baby company and left at 7'o clock to that handsome yet shy man's office.

She reached at the office nearly at half past seven, and entered into the entrance of the building, the security persona immediately recognized her.

Giving a salute he politely asked her id card and then welcomed her by opening the door. The receptionist asked her to show id card and the appointment order.

Thinking she might not know her, she provided id card and informed he is here to pick up Eric fernandes on her brother's request.

The woman liked at her as if she is some lowly cheap woman and said

"Madam there are countless number of women who come to this office saying they are acquainted to our boss but all of them were kicked off ruthlessly.

Before you get kicked off, go away by yourself. Look at they way you are dressed and have audacity to say that nonsense.

All my years of work here, my boss have given me full permission to kick any woman who comes claiming she know my boss.

Get out my sight right now before I call the security to throw you away. By the way how did you tress pass the security, did you bribe them..? x

Emily spoke instead of ariel " watch your mouth before you speak nonsense, she is the boss of Evans conglomerate. "

Listening the receptionist sneered coldly and said "then i am most beautiful woman of this world, go away now stop wasting my time."

Saying so she started applying lipstick as if it is the most important thing right now. Ariel simply took a picture along with a small recording of her scoldings.

She called charlie "hey Charlie give me that adorable puppy's personal phone number, i want to ask him to come down. "

Charlie laughed at her nick names "ariel stop your teasing, that poor man is already on the verge of collapse"-- and said but still gave the number.

Ariel called him but Eric didn't pick the call, the receptionist is being too bossy now. She started chasing away ariel.

Ariel got irritated and ordered Emily to go away in case she gets angry she doesn't her newly appointed assistant to think her as some crazy bitch.

Emily hesitated but then surrendered to her boss thinking she doesn't want her help. Looking at her Emily is sure that the receptionist is going to suffer today.

Ariel called Eric one last time thinking if he doesn't pick she will blast this crazy woman's head.

But thankfully his attended the call "hey dumb woman what made you call me. Do you need something..?

Listening hom calling her dumb woman Ariel laughed recalling his adorable face "I came to pick you up for home, but your receptionist is driving me out.

Come down right now and deal with this woman" saying so she immediately disconnected the call giving an evil grin to the receptionist.
