Eros' POV
I watched Dalia walk away without saying anything. If I was the one, I wouldn’t talk to me. But it’s for her own good. Betty should be arriving soon. My phone started to vibrate.Speak of the devil...“Eros! How can you leave me all alone in this house! I told you I was coming!” she shrieked like the Betty I know.What?! She’s already there? “What do you mean?”“I am in your home. Princess is soo cute. The first thing she did was to hold onto my pinkie! Eros, come home, we have a lot to talk about. Meanwhile, I am going to get myself a glass of juice.” With that, she pressed the hang up button.I look at my phone in shock, catching Sebastian’s glare. I was this close to introducing my fiancé to my best friend. It would be awkward. Very awkward, considering what has happened recently and Betty’s disturbing questions. I have a feeling she wants something real to start between us.“Sebastian, step on it. We need to get there quickly.”“Yes BossEros’ POV“Speak to me,” I snap at Isaiah, coming out of my car. He was trying his best not to stammer. The fire at West wing managed to be put out. I need to know if this was just an accident or an attempt to ruin me.West wing was one of the crucial part of the West Inc. It was known as the West wing ever since 2020. Sara, the head of the stylist department then managed to come up with a fabulous idea of an angel with wings. It was her contribution that brought to the success of West Inc. Simple, yet elegant. This was because the material used to make the wings were made out of real gold, refined and made thin. It was the most expensive outfit trend of the year.Many people adopted the idea for Halloween and children’s costume. These children even forced their parents to wear it. Celebrities bought it for gala consumes over the year. I won many awards for it and gave Sara and the department the credit they deserved.It was a limited production and there was only twelve of such kind
Eros’ POVI raise my hands with the remote control, ready to increase the volume of the big screen. What they were discussing today seems intriguing. Then my eyes caught the letters written boldly at the side of the screen. Vanessa Dave. The woman my parents recommended for me and she is going to stay that way- a recommendation.“I think the production department is to be blamed and the risk management, should be investigated. My father only made simple suggestions as an engineer. Therefore, we have no direct relationship with the incident. But what I do know is Eros West should pay more attention to the people of West wing in West Inc.” She smiles at the camera and I groan in irritation. She is right. My staff will be questioned thoroughly...and fired.I intentionally avoided to ask Isaiah about the news earlier. He mentioned Nick Newton. I can’t believe he is involved in this. What did I ever do to him? I haven’t seen his picture but I have heard enough of his reputation. Just like
Eros’ POV“You don’t have to send them home.” Jeffrey whispered his displeasure as I open the door into my office.It reminds me of the time Dalia came to apologize. Those were moments I despise. It shouldn’t happen again... I decided, taking my seat and pointing at the leather chair across the table. Jeffrey took that one. I removed my suit, hung it on the coat rack and adjusted my tie. It is beginning to get hot.Very soon, I would turn on the news to find out that I have sent nearly half of my staff home. “You have your company Jeffrey. I am sure there were moments when you wished you sent your staff home. You didn’t or did you?” I asked dryly.Jeffrey tilts his head before the weight of my words sank in. Then he chuckled. “You are right.. I do send them home sometimes. But the way you handle your staff is simply amazing... Isaiah is here to help you out with the work load,” He points at the young man engrossed in his laptop behind us. “I might have to look for a
Dalia’s POV.The phone gradually slipped from my hands. I have done it again.I confessed to him! What were you thinking Dalia Thompson?...I look at the images in the screen, sighing when I see the business news talked about Eros and the entertainment news still talked about Eros. His reputation truly precedes him as I could see a video of his staff going home. So he fired all of them...?Well, someone had to take the pain in uploading the video of the unfairness to Instagram. The caption and number of views were crazy.I secretly wonder how many views it would get when it is eventually announced. My marriage with Eros.As a secret exposed...His company ratings has dropped by seven percent and although the damage seems little, it would take Eros at least a month to get the company back on its feet. All departments would be on hold for a week...Who will help him now? Instead of proffering solutions, I went ahead to confess my love to him. Who cares
Dalia’s POVI gesture to the chair across the dining table. “Thank you for coming.” I am indeed grateful Dimitri decided to come. After all he is tasked to protect me from any physical harm. Who knew what Eros was thinking while he hiring this gentle giant.Dimitri nods, taking his seat and urging me to get to the point. I have managed to ask Stephanie to take my dad for a walk. Getting him a wheelchair and forcing him to sit on it wasn’t easy but I eventually got it for him and pleaded for him to breath in fresh air. He doesn’t need to hear my conversation and Stephanie don’t have to eavesdrop. I can take care of myself. Although I do feel a little bit uncomfortable as my belly and legs increases in size everyday, I know I can do this little by writing.“I asked you to come here because I need your help. I need to know what is going on in West wing.” My notebook and pen was already placed in front of me.Dimitri nods. He seems to know why I am asking already. “You n
Dalia’s POV.“Is that him?” I point to the man on tee-shirt and grey flannel trousers. He’s like how Emily described- tall, broad shoulders and bulging stomach. Since yesterday ‘s incident, I decided to pay more attention to my friend. She was there for me when I felt lost and scared.We are both wearing matching outfits of spies, squatting behind Emily’s car. It was sleek, blue and didn’t blend well with other cars at the parking lot. Bluetanic.. For some reason, Emily choose not to stay in the car. And I tagged along.I stare at Emily from the corner of my eyes discreetly, amused by our spy outfit- she picked them of course! Few hours earlier, she emphasized on how important outfit were during this expenditure. After much trashing and ruffling, she settled for a black one piece latex jumpsuit, Red bandana wrapped around her head, the biggest sunglasses I’ve ever seen to hide her puffy eyes and blazing red lips gloss smeared over her thin lips. She should have weapons for ear rings,
Emily’s POVMy plan was to rip Vanessa’s fake hair out but I can’t now...“Emily, Wait!” I hear Dalia call faintly behind me. She must be so stressed out, following me out here. Well, for the things I’ve done for her, she can do this much for me.Facing Eros West now and it took everything in me not to lash out at him. He looks.. wasted? I guess the problem Dalia told me about must be affecting him a lot. Just what is he putting on?! This isn’t the Eros West who asked me for a favour. Dalia should be around here somewhere...“What are you doing here?” He asks, eying my outfit up and down.I roll my eyes. “I should be asking you the same thing. Why do you always leave your nose in my business?”Eros snorts, which was a side I’ve never seen. Has he shown this side to Dalia? It only infuriates me. “That’s rich coming from you.”I fold my hands in disbelief. “Let me guess, you are here to complete what you started. You are ruining my career by intervening. Do
Eros’ POVI feel sorry for Emily. It wasn’t supposed to go this way...“You need to stop drinking, Eros.” Vanessa Dave warns collecting my glass of wine.I roll my eyes. I hate for her to see this side of me but since she has been so adamant, signing the visitor’s form just to see me,- all which had been rejected, she better get used to it. “Tell me, why Emily Newton?”Vanessa shakes her head in mockery. “Emily Newton? She nearly ruined my reputation, so I nearly ruined her career in acting. She has no business here.”A song played softly in the background, relaxing my mind a bit. It was her idea to visit the university cafe. I didn’t know universities had cafe like this.. their snacks tasted like heaven and their wine is to die for. Though it was a special order on my part. It was immediately granted by the pastry chef. She was excited to deliver my order and even asked for an autograph. Others didn’t get a chance to because they were served coffee and it was on the house.“OMG! It’s
