Emily looked as confused as ariel when eric ordered her to take a leave for tomorrow. Facing their questioning he smoothly covered his mouth with the back of his hand before saying
"Dumb woman didn't i say i will accompany you tomorrow whole day, are you planning to reject me now. Don't even dare to think."
He looked at emily and narrowed his eyes asking "why are you still standing here, do i need to send an invitation asking you to leave aah..?"
Emily shook her head and said "i was just confused, no need to be so intimidate. Take good care of ariel on my absence."
The working hours finished so she directly warned ariel "if you are going to be smooth on that scum bag, get ready to face me as soon as i come back for work."
Eric raised an eyebrow and replied calmly "don't worry she is my responsibility for tomorrow. i will definitely take of everything" he also gave a meaningful glance to emily.
Emily is a sharp and witty woman who can easily understand what other party is hinting her towards. When eric gave a meaningful glance she instantly understood what it means.
Greeting them good night she left from the office where as eric said "come we have to reach home, today i will drive the car."
Ariel leaning towards him pinching his cheeks said "aww handsome, you are so concern about me, okay i will agree."
Eric rubbed his cheeks irritatingly "dumb woman, i am not some school going kid whom you pinch how ever you want, restrain yourself."
She hold him by elbow saying " i will not what will you do to me. By the way it's not like i am treating you as a kid, i pinch you because i like doing so.
His brain shut down for a second making his poor heart suffer with such a sudden confession.
On their way back home ariel kept distracting him asking him questions which made his system shut down completely
"hey handsome i forgot to ask, why did you stay with me all day. Don't tell me this little maiden fella missed me..?"
"wait or else, did you want to see me in the middle of your work." she fired questions like nonstop.
Eric startled with her questions suddenly stopped the car stepping on brakes. He just glanced at her shyly and nodded saying yes.
Ariel covered her mouth "oho mu god, did you miss me really and wanted to see me..?"
Eric just averted his gaze nor confirming neither denying her claims. She also shut her mouth thinking she is going overboard.
She just looked at his side profile then after sometime she turned towards the window looking out of it. Her hair dancing along with the wind.
When he was about to take a u-turn for evans mansion he casually looked at ariel. Her side profile looked so calm yet lonely, looking at her has wanted to console but didn't know how.
He actually wanted to say something to comfort but in the last he kept quite and let her be alone until they reach to mansion. They came out of the car same time after reaching the main entrance.
He badly wanted hug her while smoothing her hair saying sweet things to console her. His desire to touch her came back with full force, but he suppressed it thinking that is inappropriate.
He is sure now that he likes her but up to what extent he is still unaware. Moreover he is not aware of his desire to be with her yet and ariel seriously didn't think he will fall for her.
Ariel all the way to the home thought about charlie leaving for army. She never wanted him to go into the army in the first place but she also doesn't want to stop him chasing his dream.
One word from ariel charlie will definitely retire from army which she doesn't want. Charlie came back to home after arranging a party for his friends before ariel and eric came back .
Unlike ariel and eric charlie was a joyful kid and has lots of good connections with his friends. He arranged for one more party secretly in the outskirts of his villa
Christian is seen tensed and talking on the phone hurriedly, as soon as he heard the car sound he disconnected the call saying "be careful and report everything from there. Don't worry i will take care of eric here."
Looking at eric he behaved casually asking him "come eric, how was your day, it's been a week since you came here, how do you feel about your staying here."
While he is talking with eric, ariel side hugged christian and kissed him on the cheek saying "you guys continue with the chat, i will come and join in few minutes."
Christian said "alright, you both go and freshen up, we'll resume our talk on dinner. Charlie came back from his room after getting fresh and said "i will not be having dinner with you as i have to catch up with my friends."
Ariel shouted back "what us this charlie, we came you are leaving..? alright come back early, you need to have a good rest before you deploy into the army again."
Charlie stopped in his tracks and came back towards ariel. He ruffled her hairs and hugged her tightly and said before leaving
"don't be grumpy little ariel, i have already spent enough days with you. Don;t worry about i will spend some time with you again before i leave."
Ariel smoothing her hair said "don't forget about spending some time with me. Go safely and don't drink like a pig."
Christian shaking his laughed at their interaction where as eric shook his head for the choice of her words.
Charlie is seen driving to a villa on the out skirts of the city which is under his name. From the outside it seems there is a party going on with loud sounds and dazzling lights flickering around the villa.
Being a major general doesn't allow him to show his emotions openly, but charlie is slightly excited for the party. As soon as he reached, he just parked his military vehicle in front of the villa.
Her ordered his subordinates not to disclose his whereabouts to anyone. When he came inside there were no one present, it's just the atmosphere is of a party one.
He moved forward into the dining room where it is seen a delicious dinner is placed on the dining table.
A woman is washing her hands facing her back, charlie silently tiptoed and hugged her from back placing a kiss on the back of her neck.
The woman squealed with sudden touch and turned around to hug him grinning ear to ear. Charlie laughed and hugged her even more tighter.
"baby i missed you so much that my heart aches when ever i see you and probes me to touch you." She laughed at his pitiful pout and said "let have dinner first, i will stay with you all the day tomorrow."
Charlie grinned ear to ear, carrying her to upstairs said looking at her chest "then i will eat you first, i am starving you know."
She lightly bit on his nose "are you really a soldier in the army that too a major general speaking all naughty. Where is your manners staring at my chest daringly."
Charlie replied "woman don't you ever doubt me as soldier, coming to my speech not only i can speak naughty but i can act as one. I will show you today"
As soon as they reached the bedroom he closed the door with the back of his leg and started undressing her.
The woman obliged with him happily saying "why are you so hurry, we have all the night, why don't you slow down a bit."
Charlie shook his head unhappily "what do you know woman, and what's with this dress of yours..?" He got impatient and just ripped the dress.
The woman is speechless allowing him to do as he pleases. All the night charlie didn't leave the woman one second devouring her fully in the ways she became crimson red with shame.
The dinner which she prepared fondly for him is long forgotten and became cold where as the couple are fully indulged in intimation.
Christian is tensed about something but didn't show it before eric and ariel. Ariel got freshen up and came back to have a chat with christian.
When eric came out of his room they both were discussing about charlie's departure for the army tomorrow evening. Eric instantly understood why ariel felt depressed for sometime.
Christian shifted the topic towards eric "tell me eric are you comfortable staying here with us. Have you called your father in these days hmm..?"
Eric awkwardly shifted in his seat a little bit and answered "i am fine uncle christian. Father is doing good as well."
Christian understood more than eric how the father and son relationship is. After eric's mother left this world, they became distant with each other and will speak only on important matters or else about business.
Listening to his words, christian didn't ask any questions but he knew clearly how much mr. frenandes care for his son. He just watched ariel ans eric bickering with each other.
Ariel is back to her cheerful mood and started teasing him again like before. Looking at both of them christian started to think about the conversation he had on the phone before.
Looking at eric who never stayed with anyone as long as he stayed with them, he is quite happy. Even ariel is back to her cheerful mood, they resembled good friends.
Xander is fully prepared to deal with ariel tomorrow in the meeting unaware of a powerful backup he need to face. Where as rachel being rachel already made a plan to hurt ariel.
