The door slowly opened and a new face appeared in front of him, his heart missed a beat, he was just praying that it would not happen, which he is scared of.
He asked the girl immediately, “Where is Carol?”
The girl looked at him and said, “President, Miss Mittal resigned today morning and going forward…”
Before she could complete Lucas cut her in between and asked angrily, “Who approved her resignation”
The girl answered politely, “President, it was decided by former President that whenever Miss Mittal resigns only former President had the right to approve or not approve her resignation”
Lucas didn’t ask anything anymore and immediately dismissed the girl. He didn’t know what he was feeling right now but one thing was sure that his heart was uneasy.
He knew his Dad made this rule because he liked Carol very much and after what he did with Carol, Alex will never forgive him.
Lucas was already missing Carol so much and now when he will not be able to see her every day how will he live.
He was dying to hear her angelic voice, so he pulled out his phone and opened his gallery.
No one knew that on the day when they went to buy a wedding dress Lucas has clicked many photos of Carol, he was seeing her photos without blinking
He was wondering how God can make someone so perfect, so loveable, so beautiful.
Lucas canceled all his meetings for the day and he ordered no one to disturb him.
He spent his whole day in his office smoking; his office was full of cigarette smoke, he was feeling choked whenever it came to his mind that he cannot see Carol anymore.
It was almost noontime when Carol reached home, she hugged her Mom and said, “Mom, I am tired, I will head to my room”
After freshening up Carol was about to sleep when she heard commotion downstairs, she headed down and saw Alex, Alice, and Alexa standing at the door and her Mom was shouting at them saying, “Leave right now”
Carol immediately ran downstairs and said, “Mom, what are you doing?”
Her Mom turned to look at her and said in an annoyed tone, “You get inside, I will deal with them”
Carol immediately walked to her Mom and said, “Mom, did Dad teach us this?, they are our guests and Dad always said, “Atithi Devo Bhava” (Guests are like God, In India guests are treated as God and they should never be insulted).
The moment Carol spoke about her Dad’s words her Mom calmed down a little and said embarrassed, “I am sorry please come in”
Saying this she went to the kitchen, Carol invited them in the living room, after sitting Alex said immediately, “Carol, I am very sorry dear, I never knew all these would happen”
Carol pulled her professional smile and said, “Mr. William I never blame you for what happen, maybe it was my destiny”
Alex really wanted to ask her to join back and work for him but he didn’t have the guts, he said, “Carol, you are no less than Alexa for me, I am always here for you, if you need anything, please consider us first”
Carol smiled at them, she knew she cannot blame them, they did it for her good only, she knew they liked her so it is of no use to vent out anger on them.
Alexa and Alice hugged her happily, Carol could not deny that she liked it when they came here. They are such rich and prestigious people but they came here to apologize to her for the mistake which they didn’t even do.
Few days passed and slowly things started getting normal for all like nothing happened, but Carol didn’t want to work anymore, as if she was scared of something or something that bothered her, she didn’t even go for interviews.
Lucas tried to keep him busy as much as possible, but no one knew that after leaving the office he would go to Carol’s house every day, he would park his car on the opposite road and stand there seeing her bedroom lights.
He felt relief for being close to her; he would leave only when the lights went off of Carol’s bedroom.
He always stayed in his office lounge only, today also he came back to the office from Carol’s home at midnight but he found Catherine waiting for him in his office and almost wearing transparent clothes.
He felt so disgusted, but still, he controlled his anger and asked in an annoyed tone, “Why are you here?”
She walked to him and said seductively, “Luc, why didn’t you come home these days?”
Lucas ignored her question and walked towards his office lounge saying, “I have work to do, you go home”
Catherine followed him, she closed the lounge door behind her and hugged Lucas from behind, and said, “Luc, I missed you so much, I want you”
Lucas removed her hands and turned to push her a little gently and said, “Catherine, you are pregnant”
Catherine again stick her body to Lucas and said seductively, “Luc, it’s already seventh month, it will be fine if we do it gently”
Lucas felt so disgusted with her touch, he again pushed a little and said, “Catherine, I am very tired today, you please go home and rest”
Catherine wanted to throw tantrums like she used to do earlier but she knew this was not the right time. She still needs to win his trust.
She nodded and pasted a fake smile on her face and said kissing his cheeks, “I will wait for you at home”
Lucas nodded and she left, after she left Lucas felt so annoyed as if her presence was enough to annoy him.
He was not feeling sleepy at all, he wanted to have some drinks, so that he could sleep, for the first time in his life he thought of going to a strip club and banging some prostitute to reduce his frustration.
