What is your secret mother...

"EN, but didn't you just resigned yesterday telling the whole party that I am fraud... Trickster... And what was that... Yeah . You would kill me...!!"

Valerie chewed her lower lips, her eyes turned misty.. she took a deep breath "I am sorry sir, it was all just a misunderstanding..." she knew this petty man would take revenge. Fine she would say sorry to this fraud if needed but once let the matter finish then she would tell what Valerie could do....

"Oh.... Is that so?" He asked with a raised brow, a smirk on his face which is screaming LOSER! LOSER!!!

'AAHHHHHH' "yes sir definitely, I must have heard wrong and got confused..." She replied again with a professional smile.. but the anger and most in her eyes were clearly telling them she was fuming....

"Oh... So sad...!! I just appointed a new secratary yesterday...." He said going back to his work... As if dismissing her but one could see the spark in his eyes... 'the game begun'

"But what about the contract... I mean I don't have money to pay you so I have to work for you...." She said making a pitiful face with glazing eyes....

"Oh, don't worry since I am a good man, I will forgive the amount...." He replied making an angelic face with a kind smile which only bring goosebumps to Adam who was listening to the whole conversation with Deep interest like watching movie just a lack of popcorn is left. .. while Valerie eyes were burning, if possible she would like to open her mouth just like Austin and burn him into ashes.... Then she would ask the king to bring tornado to spread it everywhere .. so that noone even complete the process of his recarntation ..

"Right miss Edmonds..." Asked Leo without saying anything with a smirk on his face, he knew very well she was not listening... So he decided to prove it to irritate her more and it worked...

"Huh.... " She couldn't say yes or no... She was afraid that she would say yes then what If he had asked her to go home ... Or say no but he had asked to give her another chance... She unknowingly burned the flowers at the distance vase while fuming, but failed to notice... But the keen eyes of Leo did... His playful aura vanished that instant and his voice turned into a grave one, his eyes turned frosty loosing all it's warmth....

"Enough miss Edmonds, I am not that free to entertain your gullible nature.... If you want to continue this job then take this file and strike the deal with Mr. Oberoi, he is an Indian.. infact a tough one .. but we need this deal but you have to strike it before Ellie do that.. and she has already started working on it... Now I have work... " Its clear that he was dismissing her... But why does she feel there is something a miss.... Let's work on it first... Think about it later....

"Did you notice...?" Asked Adam pointing his chin at vase. .

"Yeah I did.... I have told you she is not that simple the way she pretends to be.... But may be she is like others like me... Hiding ..?" He asked rotating the paper weight on table.... He is sure she is hiding many secrets but at the same time she never felt like an enemy just a frisky kitten who is ready to scratch everything around her.... Only thinking about it again brought a softness on his face again...

Adam was stunned to see the changes on his face, leo may get relax but he can't... He has to inform the cult..." Look I have to go now... Do what you want.. but be cautious around her...." He said standing immediately in an attempt to run before he could ask him further questions .. but Leo could read him like an open book....

"You are not going to inform anyone Adam... Not yet... I want some time... If there will be a single doubt, I would inform them myself.." but Adam didn't believe a word, his friend always things in his hands rather than asking for help, just like her mother... But he can't deny while watching his determined eyes... He knew his friend has a doubt about the accident happened, he is trying to look into the matter... But there is no clue... At last he surrendered..

"Fine but just this three months and I would keep an eye on her whole family and no argument about it" he said rubbing his head in a tired way .. "I am going,but I would come back if she won...." He said going out without looking back... He will only lose more if he looks at his face.... Damn... I can't believe I did this as his keeper....!!!

*******

In the hospital...

Kayasone (Chris Davis) was having difficulty in controlling his breathing and facial expressions, he even wore the ring to control and his aura and power because he just can't bear it.... There is she sitting in front of him and talking about like everything is fine... But his eyes were bore on a single place where a hickey was peeping out a bit and by the looks of it he was sure there are many under those high neck t-shirt... Otherwise why would wear a one when the temperature was a bit warmer than usual... 'that rascal, I would kill him with my own hands... How dare he... He took advantage of my naive Cyn... Oh poor little girl was lured by that rogue... I will definitely take revenge... Hmphf.....'

[So, what do you think who are keepers...??

Is Leo actually the prince?

Why is Mr. Davis fuming?
