Somehow, Lisa felt very warm she didn’t know why she felt so happy when she saw his concern for her.
Smiling stupidly, Lisa went up to her apartment. The door was opened, she remembered she didn’t lock the door when she invited Ted inside.
Thanks to her instinct, if the door was locked it would be difficult for her to escape. She felt very unpleasant while thinking about the incident.
She then saw her purse at the table, she got suspicious. That night she left without taking anything with her. She checked her phone and everything in living room what if Ted left something here or put some secret camera. Now, she doesn’t trust him at all.
She checked the living room carefully and after being satisfied, she sighed with relief. She than started cleaning her apartment normally. She took shower and then go to the bed tiredly.
At The Apartment
Augustus was flipping over pages of a document reading it carefully. There was a sudden knock on the door. “Come in” Augustus said.
“Boss I have sent the syringe in the lab, tomorrow the reports will come.” Lester said.
“Ohh” Augustus sighed tapping on his chin. No matter what Lisa says he will never let that man go without teaching him lesson. Unknowingly, he has put his hand on his woman. How can he let him go easily.
Today, when he sent Lester to Lisa’s home, his real intention was to get some evidence against that man. As expected, Lester found a syringe at her home and sent it to lab for inspection.
…
Next day, as soon as Lisa entered her office, Natasha her P. A came asking in concerned tone. “Why you’re here? You took two days of sick leave. Are you fine to work now.?”
Lisa frowned. Sick leave? When did she applied for it? She asked puzzled, “Sick leave?”
“Yes, President sent an email yesterday approving for your leave.” Natasha explained.
“Oh, I see. I can work now. Nothing to worry it was just a fever.” Lisa waved her hand and went inside the office.
She sat on her chair and can’t help but thinking about Augustus. How in such a short time, this man has come so close to her. His concerned made her feel warm inside of her heart. She looked at her desk and saw the file that Augustus handed her before. Design of his office.
Augustus had done many favors to her. Now it’s her time to payback by pleasing him from her work. She made her mind, from now on she will work hard and put all effort in designing his office.
As she didn’t have any knowledge about interior design so she started searching about it and saw the designs in the file. She also made an appointment with Betty and talked with her about it. This time Betty wasn’t grumpy at all. In fact, she was so nice and friendly with her.
At first, she was stunned but after some time, she naturally accepted her nice behavior. And both randomly had started to talk about the work.
Lisa made herself so busy with work, she didn’t even go to see Augustus because she was afraid if she met Augustus personally, her mind will get distract from work.
Whenever she needs design approval, she always sent Natasha with the file fully prepared by her. Augustus didn’t make any fuss and signed the approval without any doubt. Lisa felt he has liked the designs. That’s why he approved easily.
It’s been a month, she started working on his office’s design. On tenth floor, the construction people had already started their work for the new main office of President. Just handful of staff is present in the Hotel.
…
One day, Lisa’s cell phone rang in her office. She picked it up. It was her friend Sasha.
“Hey stranger, Where have you been these days? Hmm?” She questioned her.
“I am right here, just little busy.” Lisa answered lazily.
Sasha felt at peace when she heard Lisa’s word. She had seen her in a devastating situation and now she has come out from it because of her job. She had finally started to live herself.
“I am glad hearing it.” Sasha said with a smile.
“Sasha, thanks to you. If you didn’t motivate me that time. I would have ended up in depression. It was you who brought me back to life.” Lisa praised her with teary eyes.
“Oh That’s enough of flattering. Don’t expect any praising from me.” She said teasingly.
“Hahah” Both laughed together.
“By the way. I have called you to inform you about the parent’s meeting. Don’t forget it and be on time.” Sasha said.
“Ohh thankyou for reminding me. Definitely I’ll be there at time. No worries. See you then.” She said.
“Alright then, see you.” Sasha replied and ended the call.
At The Meeting
The Principal gathered all the parent in the hall to introduce the trustees of school. The stage was filled with five people, three men and two women. One man was matured forty years old in a suit. One man and woman were old couple on their sixties. A woman elegantly standing beside a man holding his arm firmly. The man’s deep blue eyes were cold and it landed on a woman suddenly “Lisa”
Lisa came on time and went straight to the hall. There were many people in the hall, it was extremely crowded. Principal was asking everyone to take their seats.
Since Simon has started school, all those years Tom used to attend the meetings alone. It was the first time, she attended it. She was quite nervous, looking for a place to sit.
Finally, she found a seat and sat at the corner as she looked around, she met the blue deep eyes on the stage. For a second, it felt like everything was at hold. They both kept staring at each other.
Just then, Principal tapped at the mic asking for everyone’s attention. Lisa broke the eye contact and looked at Principal. But Augustus’s gaze was firmed on her.
When Giovanna saw Augustus’s attention was drifted away from her, she couldn’t help but looked at the direction he was staring and saw a woman, she instantly remembered her and she felt displeased.
She tugged his arm and asked, “Isn’t that the mad woman from your hotel.?”
Augustus looked at Giovanna furiously, “What? What did you call her?” He questioned.
Looking at his angry face Giovanna shut her mouth immediately and didn’t dare to look at him.
Lisa saw Giovanna holding his arm like a couple. She couldn’t help but felt jealous in her heart, she clenched her hand into a fist and looked somewhere else.
Soon Principal started calling the trustees, one by one to say some sentences. All three trustees spoke about the kids education and growth.
Then Principal called Augustus. He came over with the confident, buttoning his coat flawlessly. Lisa saw that many women sat straight to catch his attention. He spoke with confident and didn’t look at her once while speaking.
After he finished, all the women applauded cheerfully. Lisa looked around and felt funny how can two line speech could get so much applause. Definitely all woman were impressed by his figure not words.
After that Principal looked at Giovanna and called her as Augustus’s Fiancé. The reality hit hard at her chest and her expressions turned ugly instantly.
Giovanna spoke very softly and politely. A perfect noble woman. This time it was men’s turn to applause and cheered.
After everyone’s speech finished. Principal asked everyone to go to their kid’s class for the yearly report card.
Lisa hurriedly made her way out without glancing at the stage. Augustus saw her leaving hurriedly, he frowned and looked at her back with a trace of displeasure in his eyes. “Is she still ignoring me.?” He thought.
