"How did the meeting go, Rays?" Mary asked while looking ahead at the road as she was in the driving seat.
Sarah took a sip from her Starbuck drink and gulped down the bite of the sandwich with the help of the drink. Mary had picked some snacks for Sarah on her way to pick her up from the restaurant, knowing very well that Sarah must not have taken a healthy breakfast considering her state of mind and will not have time to take a healthy lunch too as she will get busy as soon as she enters the office. Sarah was really thankful for her thoughtfulness.
"The meeting was... weird." Sarah said with a small frown. Mary gave her a small side look of confusion before looking back at the road again.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Well, you already know about my habits of mind-reading the clients and…" She couldn't complete it as Mary completed it for her with a small roll of her eye
Leave me reviews and gems!
"Oh, look, who do we have here?!" Samantha snickered with a devilish smirk as she stood in front of Elijah, blocking his way. "Oh, what a pleasure meeting you Elijah!" Natasha said in cunning as she too stood in front of him with crossed hands and looked at him with mockery. Elijah looked at them with a blank look and nodded at them, accepting their presence. "Miss Watsons. Good evening." He said in a strained tone and gave them a small nod. They both nodded back with a sly smile on their faces. "Good evening, Elijah. What are you doing here? You might have forgotten that you are the loser son-in-law of the family. The marriage with the daughter of the family is not going to change anything, remember?" Natasha asked while faking confusion. "Oh, Nate. Did you forget that apart from being the loser son-in-law, he also shares a relationship with our family? He
"What took you so long, Elijah?" Helena asked in a stern tone, waiting for him to answer her. Helena was an impatient woman. She always wants things to happen in her way and they better happen first. Another reason for her to be so impatient and maybe a little anxious is because of Sarah Watson. She knows Sarah enough to know that Sarah is a smart woman. Even though Sarah is the youngest among all the heirs, she is the smartest. She knows that Sarah always learnt from everything and made herself strong. Sarah is an intelligent woman as well as a business run in her blood. Sarah knows how cruel and crazy the business world can get and Helena was aware of that. So, she was really interested in knowing about the conversation between her and her future husband whom she has chosen for her. "I am sorry, ma'am. After the meeting, Miss Sarah Watson wanted me to drop her somewhere. Then I had a sudden emer
"So, uhh… you wanted to say something?" Elijah asked in an unsure tone, not knowing what else to say. "Why? I can't call you without any reason?" Sarah asked. "No, no! That's not what I meant. Of course, you can call me anytime. But you weren't saying anything and… and I didn't know what to say. So, I…" He trailed off, not finding any more words to defend himself. "Hey, hey! Calm down. I was just pulling your legs." Sarah said and laughed on the phone, making him sigh in relief. He heard her laugh with a small smile at the corner of his lips. Her smile is so flawless and soothing in his ears that he can't describe it in words. "Did I make you nervous, Elijah?" Sarah asked, really enjoying the phone conversation. Sarah looked at the glass wall at her left and saw her reflection. She was smiling and the frown that always stays on her forehead was not there at this moment
She wished her father who just nodded at her in response. "You never ask me for any permission. So, why bother asking now about such a simple thing?" She replied in a cold and distanced tone. Her father's face fell a little after getting such a cold response from his dearest daughter. He nodded at her and sat at one of the chairs. "With whom were you talking with? I think I disturbed you." He said in a casual tone, trying to start a conversation. She looked at her father with squinted eyes. She knows her father. He is a straightforward man. But whenever he talks about other unnecessary things, it means he wants to say something but doesn't know how to start. She decided to play along with him and see where it goes. "No, it's okay. You didn't disturb me. It was my friend." She replied and he nodded at her. "You were supposed to meet him today. Did
ONE WEEK LATER It's been one week since the time Sarah and Elijah met and their friendship started. This week they didn't get the chance to meet again but they talked over the phone a few times. All the time it was only Sarah who initiated the call. Not even for once, Elijah called but Sarah could feel that he felt happy whenever she called. Maybe he is hesitant to get casual with her and Sarah understands him. So, she decided to give him time to get used to the friendship. It's been one week since she again started to talk with her parents. Everything almost settled with her father. But they are still a little bit awkward around each other because that day her father gave an answer to her question. Which didn't quite satisfy her. She and Elijah are still living apart, in their own places. They still haven't decided on what they are going to do. She lives in her apartment and occasionally comes to her p
"Like this! Like the way you are being now! So carefree. So sacrificing, such a pushover. You always let grandma bully you since childhood. You always let Liam, Samantha and Natasha bully you and walk over you. You never protest. You always accept whatever they say. You never say no! Why?" He exclaimed in frustration. She heard him with concentration and a beautiful smile made its place on her lips when she heard him which frustrated him some more. "See! Like this! You are always taking their bullshit with a smile. I hate this. I hate this attitude of yours." He exclaimed and looked away from her. She let out a chuckle. "You hate my most favourite weapon. That's so amusing and strange at the same time." She said which made him confused. "Don't talk like this with me." He said and let out a breath. Even though he was almost one year older than her, she always left him surprised with her mature talk
"Good evening, everyone." Helena Watson greeted after taking a seat. She was the last one to make her presence known at the dinner table. Well, she is not the last one, someone else is yet to come and join them. But right now everyone from the family is present in the room. "Good evening." Everyone mumbled a wish back. Helena looked at everyone with a smirk on her face and nodded at herself when she noticed that she got the power over them. She is a sucker of power and that's the reason she didn't pass down the authority to her children. But now that she is doing this, she is going to make sure to make them work hard for this. "It's so nice to have all of you at a family dinner after so long." She started talking. "But today some more people will join us." She announced and looked at Samantha and Natasha's faces and they looked back at her with excitement and a smirk.
"What is it, grandma?" Samantha asked with curiosity. Even though she was sure it's something about Sarah and that's what excites her a lot more. "Before that, I am going to ask Sarah something." She said and looked at Sarah. Sarah looked back. "Go on, grandmother." Sarah said after nodding her way with a serious look on her face. "Do you have anything else to say about what we discussed in our last meeting?" She asked and Sarah took a sharp intake of breath which Elijah nodded. Her grip on Elijah's wrist tightened which she was still grabbing tightly in her hands. "No, grandmother. We all discussed it already that day and I am not someone to move away from my words. What we discussed that day remains the same till now and it's not going to change." She answered and gave Elijah a small look in between but soon turned away. Helena nodded at her. "Okay,
