Chapter 24
Scott office,
Ellie cabin
A person around 25 entered her cabin with a knock.
“Hi miss Ellie!” he wished her with a fake handshake.
“Hi Mr. What is your name?” she struggled to remember his name a little.
“Managing Director of EV group, Eric,” He chuckled.
“Oops sorry nice meeting you have your seat!” she said with a smile.
“So, miss Ellie, your one the most beautiful businesswoman, I ever met!” he said in a flirty tone.
“Thank you, Mr. Eric” she mumbled a little uncomfortable by his gaze.
“you can call me Eric!” he said in a husky tone.
“It’s ok, on what purpose you got an appointment from me?” she questioned with a professional smile.
“A deal, actually we had a project and I don’t have such capable persons to lead it so I planned to make it on a partnership basis here is the project details once check it well it will be the best deal for both of us,” he assured while forwarding a file. She studied the file thoroughly.
“Nice project, so what was the deal!” she asked.
“Investment is all mine, but work should be half done by your company, profit will be 50-50,” he replied.
“ok fine, nice deal, we can prepare documents after consenting MS (Michael) we will get back to you soon,” she said with an assured smile.
“ok, but I can’t wait that long to start my project, I mean our project,” he smirked with hidden evilness.
“ok Mr. Eric, I mean Eric. we will see you soon” she mumbled. He left her cabin with an evil smirk.
She forgot to inform Michael on that day due to some urgent work Michael left to Singapore.
Once again Eric visited Ellie being it profitable for the company. She signed the documents as she is unaware of Eric’s intentions.
Michael landed back in Mumbai after a week. Eric visited Michael this time.
“Hi, partner!” Eric chuckled with a smirk.
“what the!” Michael scowled in angry.
“haha, we are partners now, see this!” Eric uttered while forwarding a file.
It shocked Michael to see Ellie’s signature on them.
“What the hell you got my wife sign here!!” he yelled in anger while holding his collar soon Ellie entered his cabin.
Michael left Eric’s shirt and controlled his anger.
“Hello, Mr. Eric” she wished with a professional smile.
“good morning beautiful!” he said in a flirty tone.
Michael held Ellie’s hand tight with surprised Ellie.
“I think you both are having a good time, shall we discuss the project!” Ellie asked.
“sure …” Eric chuckled.
“And Eric, he is my husband Michael Scott holder of my love and me and CEO of MS group,” she said with a proud smile.
Michael felt happy, he felt proud of himself.
“I think he knows it, sweetheart, all thought you are my lovely wife” Ellie Michael Scott” Michael chuckled while kissing her cheek.
“hubby, we are in the office and not here,” Ellie blushed.
“Nice couple!” Eric uttered with a fake smile.
“I think we should negotiate a few more clauses before signing. We will discuss later Mr. EV,” Michael said in a dangerous tone, looking at Eric.
“sure Michael we will meet you soon” Eric replied with a smirk.
Michael gulped his angry Ellie left aside to collect some files from the cupboard.
“You got such a sexy wife!” Eric whispered towards Michael while gazing Ellie.
“She is mine!” Michael scowled.
“you took away what is mine now, it’s your turn to lose!” Eric said in an evil tone while leaving the cabin making him jump in shock.
Michael got some flashes of his college days.
A girl laughing and chasing a boy.
“Bro stop” the girl chuckled while chasing him.
“no if you can catch me!!” he yelled while running away. They both ran to the terrace the boy was hidden beside a pillar.
“Bro!” she yelled while slipping down from the terrace of a 10 floored building ”

“No!” Michael yelled in horror.
Ellie came running to see Michael.
“Michael, are you fine?” She asked in consent.
Michael came back to reality as he moved away and left the cabin, which confused Ellie a lot.
Scott Mansion
Ellie prepared a special dinner for Michael, but Michael was lost in his past memories.
His life in college days, he came home at late night at 10 pm. Ellie is still waiting unlike other typical wives, she understands well that Michael was busy with work.
As Michael came home Ellie reached him to collect his bag and blazer. Michael was quiet. Daily he used to talk about so many things while having dinner, but he is so calm.
After a silent dinner, they left to room.
Michael lied on his side.
“Michael, are you alright?” she asked in consent.
“I’m tired, let’s talk tomorrow good night!” he mumbled.
Ellie lied quite … Both slept.
Michael woke up with a jerk by a nightmare.
“I have done nothing, I have done nothing!” he yelled in horror.
Ellie got up with a jerk.
“Michael … Michael open your eyes see!” she yelled while tapping his cheeks. He opened his tired eyes to find his worried wife. He just hugged her without a word as she rubbed his back to comfort him.
“nothing happened hubby, look everything is fine!” she said with a smile.
“Ellie, will you leave me if I’m a bad person,” he asked.
“what bad, now thinking so much I’m your wife, I will accept your bad along with good!” she said while caressing his hair.
“I want you to write off that EV project!” Michael told her.
“what! why it’s a profitable deal?” Ellie questioned.
“I don’t want profit!” He said.
“Anything for you now sleep!” she said.
Michael felt happy he has fallen asleep, but Ellie’s brain started working.
“Something is fishy, why Michael is reacting so upset about that Eric? Is it any personal reason? I should find it why Michael is so scared about something.” She thought in confusion, lying beside staring him.
