chapter 3

Meera came forward to greet Richard. Richard took her hand and gave a peck on hands gently, which led Meera to find it a little embarrassing. She quickly took her hands back, she greeted him a good afternoon and said sorry to Richard. Then he said, "it's ok, most people find this place, hard to locate" then he showed her way to the sitting area. In which many paintings were kept and a gallery can be seen, which connects to the second open room. It seemed like he made all his paintings there because a visible canvas can be seen.

They sat in the opposite direction to each other and in the middle, there was a coffee table, with a vase containing white lilies on it. Meera started to open her preparation for the exhibition and pass the paper of everything she planned for the "THEDesire" to Richard. Then she started to explain the paper's, she started, " as Mr blue knows I am here for representing, "stylex" for your upcoming exhibition, I searched a lot about the painting included in it. the paintings which are included in are all about the desire we propose as a human in different segments of life, you have shown that how a child craves for a toy, a teenage crave for freedom to do things, the adult care for the money", she blushed a little while speaking next sentence, but she controls herself and said it neutrally, "and sexual pleasure" Richard smirked a little bit seeing her like this, " then in old age, they crave for being young again, so is seen as a circle. So regarding this information, I suggest that we should merge all the segments of lives so all the age groups can understand the importance of their own ages and there need upon it" finally Meera takes a deep breath and Richard eagerly listening to her and smelling her rose mist, which was making him crave more for her.

, " on the next page, I showed the location, that where the exhibition will take place. This place is a banquet hall on the ground floor, I choose this location because it is in middle of an old age home, schools, college and many companies" Meera took another breath and started on the fourth page( on the first page there are details, on the second and third page there is the image of the venue), Richard also flipped to the fourth page, " as you can see Mr Richard that this page includes the step-up of your paintings and lights, I believe we can use different light to bring out different emotion according to painting contrast and texture to make it more enhanced. we can also arrange your painting position and angles in a way so that the spectator can understand the feeling of your painting, mm so this is all I prepared for the resume " she said thank u and then there was silence between them and only flipping of page can be heard.

After looking at the file Richard was impressed at the detail, she researched pretty well and how much hard work she put on it, can be seen by looking at the dark circles that she tried to hide with her makeup. He was satisfied but it was not what he wanted. He said in a serious tone, " mm I have a problem with something" then he gets up and went near her, he leaned toward her and take a glance at her, their eyes met, " it is too close" Meera turned her face away and said nervously, " what it is'' she began to look in the resume. , " the problem is not in the paper it is here" he pointed his figure at Meera.

," me?" Meera said in confusion.

, " yes u, I guess you are new to this job as you just speak whatever u want to and do not bother about what your client needs are"

Meera had no reply, she understood her mistake, she was nervous so she just wanted to make it over soon. That's why she does not bother to at least look at her client. she remained silent.

, " so how can I believe in you? You are not only ready to listen to me. so, How can I give my project to an immature"

, "I am sorry for my rude behaviour but u can tell me your suggestions now," she said awkwardly.

, " see u are still not listening to me," Richard said, faking an angry voice.

, "mm so how can I prove to you, Mr Richard, that I am capable of conducting your exhibition?" Meera said with confidence.

Richard laughed an inner smile as this is the only thing he was waiting for her to say. Then he went near her ears and said in a seductive voice, " then show me how desperate you are for this exhibition". Meera got shocked by his behaviour and she quickly stood from her seat in panic and said in frustration," what are you doing Mr Richard?".

, " this innocent kitten, it wants me to crave her more," he said in his mind. He got up and started going close to her. This made Meera panic more, she said trying to push him back, "don't come near me just say whatever you want to from a distance" she took a step backwards. Richard never forces a girl to do it with him because until now he never felt using force on a girl, he likes as every girl said yes to him because he is handsome and rich but this time this girl was making him impatient and he could resist himself any more.

He grabbed her hands and pinned her to the wall. He lifted her chin with another hand. She was glaring at him like a wild cat that will scratch him on his face if he comes closer to her face. She opened her mouth to say something but Richard did not give her the chance to do it. He grabbed her waist tightly and began to kiss her passionately…
