Valerie was again stunned by the fact that they two were having lunch together in hospital.. they behave so strictly with her yet they do this behind her back... 'to hell with you, I don't need your help then...'
She took her bag and went at Oberoi hotel gnashing her teeth and stomping her feet.. even cab driver who is used to having friendly chat with his customers due to boring work cowered looking at her glaring face... Just like an angry devil who would swallow him alive if spoken... it took The whole one hour ride to make her relax again, she immediately plastered a smile looking at Ellie like anger was never there on the first place... But she knows... This little princess would not let her work easily... If she is already the missy of a rich royal household why the hell she was competing with her for just a mere place of secretary....
There was a smug smile on Ellie's face, she knew she has won the battle... Once she would start working as Leo's secratary, she would spend whole time with him, keeping all the bugs away. Slowly she will make him realised how perfect they are together, and they are meant to be... She has even tried her best to win his mother's heart. But she always decline subtly or Indirectly whenever marriage proposal was given, saying Leo is the one to marry, so only he has the right to decide.. it has hired her pride many a times to be rejected. But there was no way she could directly ask Leo about marriage and he always remain busy to spend much time together... But now since the mother is gone.. Leo is all alone in the world and she knows he is yet not recovered from the accident and needs a pillar to rely on... And now she would be the pillar.. afterall everyone is crazy about her charms... She was so lost in her thoughts as Mrs. Leo Smith that she didn't even notice when the p.a. of Mr Oberoi came out and asked about Mr. Smith's secretary who has taken the appointment which she was... She has painstakingly waited out for past 4 hours to convince them to meet her once but now since she was day dreaming, Valerie took its benefit... She introduced herself as Leo secratary and went in with the p.a. her eyes were smiling too because of the he fool Ellie, she got all the things ready made... Even the young p.a. who is immune to women charm got mesmerized by her smiling face. She was looking just like a stunner, her beauty was like pure devil ready to make you sin, she coughed to get the lost p.a. attention and he took her in and introduced with the owner Mr. Oberoi.
She has thought that the man would be a middle-aged with pot belly and tired crow feet eyes... But he is a your man in his early thirties with a charming face with honey brown eyes and brown hairs.. he has his own authoritative charisma like he could see through all your tricks so don't waste time.. which at this age is very rare.. he made her remember her father... so she smiled and after making herself comfortable on the seat she stated the point directly...
"Hello, Mr. Oberoi, I am Mr. Smith's secretary, I am not here to talk about the purchase of your hotel but to know what is your idea about saving this place...?"
But instead of replying her he asked "you are not the one who booked the appointment right...?"
But before she could reply they heard a commotion outside... Ellie was standing right there at the door with red face and clenched fists, all the hairs of her body standing while Mr. Shrivastav was with flushed face, he can't believe he didn't check any I'd or papers and just believed her words and let her enter what if the lady was dangerous and came with ulterior motives...
With a scowl on his face he entered and asked the security to throw Valerie out while apologizing to his boss about the mistake. He is new here in Rowan city all thanks to his friend he came overseas with a very good job.. but now he has done mistake on his first week of job...
"Its ok, Give the lady Ellie time after half an hour while I attend to this lady Raj... Although bewildered by the sudden change but as an employee he knows better to comply than question.. but the same doesn't apply to Ellie who can't let Valerie talk first in case she win the competition.... So she fluttered her eyes and chewed her bottom lip seductively with a cute smile she asked..." Mr. Rehan I was the one who took the appointment painstakingly, can't you give me the first chance please..." Her tone was so smooth and slow like butter even the p.a. felt spellbound. But Rehan looked at her like she is not even there..
He turned towards Valerie and started talking to her, Ellie never felt this insulted in her life, she is habitual of having all the attention and admiration of people specially opposite sex. But the moment Valerie entered, she got the attention of Leo... She was no fool to believe on his words that day.. she had clearly seen how this mere secratary was able to evoke so manufacturers emotions in Leo... While everyone else is habitual of watching his stoic face or evil smirk.... And now this man... 'What does she have that I don't' hmpf.. she stormed out of the room without even closing the door and sat on the bench while digging her nails in her hands and fuming....
