Hearing him, I just nodded and told him about the wedding date. Herring me, he jumped on me like a monkey and hugged me till I choked. “Oh, Aaz, I am so happy for you.”
“Ok, now leave me. I cannot breathe.”
‘God, this guy is what, five?’ Thinking about that, I shake my head.
After some time left for his work, I again got busy with my work. When the day has passed, I have no idea, but at least two times, hearing my queen’s voice kept me sane.
After finishing my work, I reached the palace and went to my chamber. Getting rid of my clothes and going to the bathroom to take a shower
After the shower, I called my queen as she picked up one ring, which I smiled at and asked, “Missing me, My Queen?”
She said “hmm” in reply, and I know her cheeks are very cherry tomato by now.
“How was your day?”
“The day was fine, and how was yours?”
“It was good but busy,”
She again said, “Hmmm.”
“You want to ask something, My Queen?” I don’t know, but I always know what she is thinking.
She again said, “Hmm.”
“I am listening.”
She cleared her throat and said, “Ahmm, Sire, after marriage I’ll work here and you will be at the estate. I mean, I know you have to be there all the time, and I am here; I mean, ammm.”
I know what she is trying to say, so I thought to tease her a little: “You said your dreams are important to you, so it is fine. You can stay there and fulfil your dreams, and I will always be here for you.”
She said, “No, no, no, my dreams are important, but not more than yours.” And I don’t like the idea of me being here, fulfilling my dreams, while you stay there, managing everything all alone. I cannot take your generosity for granted. I will send my resignation first thing tomorrow morning. Maybe I will look for another job there.”
“You want to leave the job only because you don’t want to take me for granted?” I smiled at her thoughts and asked,
“I don’t want to stay away from you.” She stayed quiet for some time, then said,
Hearing her, my heart swells like never before. “Don’t worry. You don’t have to resign. I will handle everything. Right now, just send them a leave application, ok?”
“Hmmm.” I smile at my shy beauty.
After some time, we both ended the call and went to sleep.
Days were running like baffling. I want to finish most of the work before marriage so I can spend some time with her peacefully, and work is never-ending.
It has already been fifteen days, and I have not seen her. Even so, with fourteen days left for marriage, her absence is making me insane. I never thought a woman’s presence in my life would change so many things. Perhaps she is not a mare woman. She is my girl. My beauty.
I have been shouting at people like a madman, and my workload is not helping me either.
I see her almost every day on video calls, but right now I want to hold her in my arms. God, nothing is helping. I need her right here, right now.
A knock on the door broke my thoughts, and I said, “Come in.”
My assistant entered and said, “e, we have lost Vipro’s contract.”
Hearing this, I raised my eyebrow. “How is it possible? We have bid the best price; then how did it happen? No one else can offer this price. We have all the infrastructure that no one else has in Sweden, so how did it happen? And who got the contract?”
He shivered a little and said, “Joi’s.”
I closed my eyes. This Marcus Joi has become a pain in the ass.
I opened my eyes and spoke to “find out how they got it.”
“Sire, I already did, and I think we have a snake between us. Because they have quoted 1 percent less than our quote.”
“You may leave.” I nodded.
Now everything is taking a toll on me, and I want my peace before I go mad or do something I regret later.
And the only thought that came into my mind was to pick up my phone and call.
ARA POV
I got up with so much pain in my back, and it is the first day of my period.
I took a hot shower, which calmed my body a little, and wore black pants, a blue satin full-sleeve top, and matching black stilettos. I also applied a little mascara and lip gloss and got ready for work. After taking the painkillers, I went down.
I notice everyone eating breakfast. I wished everyone “good morning” and sat on a chair and started eating.
Ara, dear, we still have to complete a lot of things. When will you be free? You work like baffling.” I heard Mom say
“Mom, just five more days and then I will be on my leave, so please leave me till then. I have lots of pending work that I have to finish before I go on leave.” I said, looking uninterested in anything today.
Mom huffed and asked, “Did you even design your wedding dress or not?”
I smile. “I did for both of us. It will be ready in two days, and then I will show you.”
Finally, her mom smiles and nods in agreement.
I bid goodbye to everyone and started walking, but I noticed Sanya has been silent these days. Gosh, nowadays I am so busy that I did not even have time to talk to her.
Today after work, the first thing I will do is sit with her for some time.” With that thought, I left for the office, with my bodyguards, of course.
I started finishing my last bit of pending work. I am almost done with that.
