Inner minds struggle

Eric is still unable to shake off ariel's image from his brain, especially the image of her kissing him on the morning in her bedroom even after reaching his office.

Thinking about what he blurted on the phone he face palmed himself. To avoid those thoughts he started his work.

Even though she kissed him on his cheek lightly like a feather tracing his cheek, the impact is quite high on his brain stopping his brain to function normally.

He is also worried about her surrounding in the entertainment circle with scandals. He is least bothered about others affairs but can't say the same with her.

His brain is totally became like a robot which crashed into something it doesn't know and unable to decode it no matter what it does.

His evil mind and innocent mind started arguing with each other inside his brain as if they are fighting in WWF.

Eric's evil mind "come on eric stop being worried about her, she is not worthy of your attention. That dumb woman always teases you and laughs at you. She flirts with you which makes you blush like a teenage girl"

Eric's innocent mind "no eric, she is really nice towards you. The way she drops and picks you shows how much she cares about you. She is a good woman, you should befriend her."

Eric's evil mind "be friends with her, for what..? So that she can tease him and cause short circuit in his brain. No eric listen to me she is up to no good."

Eric's innocent mind "no eric she is good to you. Think about how she treated you these days when we are staying in their home. She is really good at heart.

Eric's evil mind grinning evilly "so you are the one who is making him confused. Eric listen to me thinking about all the symptoms i think you like her which is not at all good."

Eric's innocent mind "no, i am not confusing him. I am only saying he should make her as a friend and treat her so."

Eric's evil mind "Don't listen to his dumb ideas, eric you have already started liking her so start pursuing her, she also likes you. Remember she already said the same thing."

Looking at his blank expression evil mind started "have you ever rendered speechless by anyone like this before..? That woman is dangerous to your heart. Either stay away from her or else be close with her."

Eric's innocent mind shaking him "no eric don't listen to this dumb evil brain. She calls you handsome, means she is good at heart."

Eric's evil mind "see he also agrees. She calls you handsome which means you can pursue her. What are you going to do. Will you pursue her or will stay away from her..?

Eric being bugged by his two brains shouted at them forgetting that he is in a meeting "shut up both of you, I know what to do. She is more good than you both think."

All the other were terrified listening to their boss shouting at them like this, they were even more afraid to open their mouth about the she he mentioned.

Eric looked at them asking "why meeting is stopped, is something wrong with my face..? Why are you looking at me as if i am the one who asked you to stop.

Everyone were really dumbfounded and petrified this time to give a reply when he was the one who asked them to stop by shouting at them.

Not even batting an eyelid he smoothly ordered them to continue the meeting. This meeting is the last meeting before they launch the newer version of the tablet.

Eric calmly listened all the suggestions in the discussion and ordered the respective departments to handle. Then he went into his cabin room to rectify the technical problems that testing department raised.

Due to the frustration his evil mind caused, he finished fixing all the problems in an hour. His assistant came to inform his about lunch meeting with an cctv designing company.

Eric dismissed him nodding his head and indulged himself in other pending works. whatever he do his mind is unable to stop thinking about ariel.

After finishing all his work, eric asked his assistant to attend the lunch meeting on behalf of him and left for the evans conglomerate.

Christian and charlie were still in meeting with army personals for a weapon manufacture. The meeting is going smoothly and they got the project as evans company is the best in industry.

At first they hesitated thinking about ariel who recently became heiress for the conglomerate but christian convinced them about her ability to handle everything.

The weapon manufacture is a separate department having headquarters outskirts of the city. Charlie is the witness for this special weapon they are going to invest.

The weapons are fully advanced protective suit along with machine guns which are going to be handled by the special forces team to which charlie is the head.

They directly went to the weapon manufacture headquarters and prepared the agreement with military. This agreement should be kept as confidential and cannot be revealed to outsiders at any circumstances except ariel.

Xander listening to the assistant's words fumed in anger and being cutoff by a mere assistant made him more angry. He thought to make an appointment with AEC company and immediately called the company.

The receptionist in AEC lifted the call and informed him that madam is not there yet in the office and is working in the evans conglomerate. If he wants to make an appointment he should call evans group.

Xander is speechless with the response he got but immediately got an idea. He asked the receptionist for the personal phone number of ariel.

The receptionist politely rejected him saying "i am sorry sir we can't provide personal phone numbers like that. Since you said you are madam's closest person, i can provide with the reception number please note down.

Xander felt disappointed but still he noted down the evans group reception number. when he gave a call to the reception, no one answered him with proper response.

Xander unable to keep up with the humiliation called Mr. Bentley's assistant and asked him to arrange an appointment with ariel as soon as possible.

Xander never thought he will be shunned away saying that they don't know any Mr. Dayne as their madam's closest person. The assistant informed the same thing to emily.

Emily replied him saying "inform his that they will arrange a meeting with ariel tomorrow morning at 11'o clock. Also apologize him with a simple sorry."

Ariel is sitting in her chair while emily informed the same words she asked her to repeat to the assistant of mr. bentley.

When eric reached evans group, ariel is seen twinning on her chair with a pen in between her teeth and documents in her hands.

Eric visited countless times to evans group when he was training under his father on both personal and professional purposes. Every individual in the office know him and they are as polite as they will be to ariel.

the reception on the main entrance informed to ariel's cabin about the arrival of eric. Before emily can announce his arrival, eric knocked on the door.

When he saw ariel twinning in the chair, he badly wanted to lift and twin her in princess style. He coughed lightly to shake off these weird thoughts.

"Hey dumb woman, what are you doing. Is this the way to read documents..?" Listening to his voice ariel astonished looking at him like a doll with wide open eyes.

Sheepishly scratching her head, ariel replied "i like to read in that way. Yo say how come you came to me in the middle of the day. Don't tell me you wanted to see me..?

Emily face palmed herself in her mind thinking ariel's playfulness and teasing nature. Even though emily is friends with ariel, at work place she never crossed her limits.

Eric seriously nodded his head confirming he wanted to see her. Both emily and ariel shocked with this confirmation. He further added "dumb woman, come with me we are going out."

This declaration seemed like he had practiced this long time before blurting out. Nevertheless ariel is happy to accompany him and said okay.

Eric said "if you have any work to finish, i will wait for you. Don't ignore your work because of me which i don't like at all."

Ariel smiled at him and said " i have already finished my work here and was about to go to AEC before that you came. It's okay i will come again beofre leaving for the day."

Eric nodded and then held her wrist before coming out of her office room. Every one witnessed and were in awe looking at the way eric holding their boss's hand.

Even ariel is not sure what happened him this time that he is acting this way where as inside his head the evil brain said to innocent brain

"dumbo see i told you this is not usual normal like towards a person. Finally i won and you loose. This is not friendship but he likes her as a girlfriend.

Innocent brain protested saying "i don't agree with you. He like her as a friend and vice versa. Don't spoil his brain."

Eric stopped in the midway listening to evil brain and looked at ariel as if she is some devil. Ariel checking her face with her hands asked

"Hey handsome why are dazed. Did something is there on my face or you don't think i am pretty hm..? placing her hands on her hips slightly pouting at him.

The man is totally mesmerized looking at her while sun rays falling on her fair face making more attracting where as his mind is struggling with inner turmoil.
