"Look, who just walked in?" Samantha asked with crossed hands and an arrogant look on her face the moment Sarah and Jordan walked inside the living room of the Watson mansion.
"Oh, you are talking about 'the walking bad luck'?" Natasha added after her and they both started to laugh together while sharing a high five.
Sarah rolled her eyes at them. They both are older in age than her yet they behave like some freaking high school mean teenage girls. She ignored them and was going to walk past them when Natasha put her leg in her way to make her trip. Sarah wasn't looking and the moment she was going to walk past Natasha, she tripped on Natasha's leg and lost her balance. She was going to fall down and kiss the ground when Jordan got a hold of her waist at the right moment and saved her by pulling her up.
"Are you alright?" He asked in a worried tone while still holding her by the waist.
Leave me a review and gems!
"Everyone take your seats." She ordered in an authoritative tone which no one can disobey. The living room was divided into four sections. Three of them for three families and one for Helena Watson. Helena walked toward the lavish single couch which was specially made and designed for her only. Everyone sat down. Sarah was sitting beside her mother while her mother was sitting between her and her father. Helena gave all of them a small nod before starting the meeting. "So, almost all of us know why we all gathered here today. Yet I would like to address the issue again." She started saying. Sarah fisted her hands and gritted her teeth when such an important topic of her life was being subjected as 'an issue'. "It's about the news of Sarah's marriage!" "The heck is it about?!" Jordan shrieked out as soon as he heard He
"That's insane, grandma! Are you in the right state of your mind? How can you even think of something like this?!" Jordan exclaimed in frustration while looking at everyone in disbelief. Apart from him, no one said anything nor did they protest which frustrated him even more. "Jordan, calm down. It's our matter. Let us handle this." Sarah said with a lot of difficulty while looking down. Jordan scoffed at her after hearing her. He knew that she wasn't happy at all with all the things happening but like the good daughter and sacrificer she is, she didn't say a word against it or for her defence. He looked at her parents. "Uncle John? At least you say something? How did you keep quiet after hearing something like this and even agreed to it?! It's so unfair! Here your only daughter is married to a driver? Didn't you think she deserves much more than that? Also, why only her? Why not Samantha or Natas
"Yes, Mary? What's the status?" Sarah asked while walking toward her car after she walked out of the mansion. Mary is her secretary, also her best friend. They aren't friends from college days or anything because Sarah didn't have time to make friends or socialize. She was well known as the nerd throughout her high school and college days. But puberty hit hard when she raised beautifully as well as successfully and all those who called her names felt an invisible slap on their faces. Whatever she and Mary met when Sarah badly needed a hard-working and dedicated secretary and Mary needed a sincere and 'reasonable' boss. At last, they both were the perfect match for each other and they clicked immediately. Them being of the same age also helped a lot. Apart from boss and secretary or friends, they also fulfilled their duties toward each other as great advisors. At this moment, Sarah could use some of her advice right now.
The Next Day "Hello, ma'am. How can I come to your service today?" Elijah asked as he stood in front of Helena Watson with his head down. "Oh, Elijah. Did you come? Good. Come and have a seat!" Helena invited her into his office while he stood in front of the table with an obedient look on his face. "It's fine, ma'am Helena, I prefer standing in front of you." He replied which made Helena smirk to herself in pride because of the respect she is getting from him. Helena Watson is a woman of pride. She likes to be the centre of attraction. She always wants the spotlight on her only but obviously in positive ways. So, she likes it when someone praises her, butter her, respect her, and be submissive in front of her. It gives fire to her ego. "As you prefer." Helena nodded at her and gave him a small nod. His head was held up but he wasn't looking in her eye
"I really appreciate you coming on time." Sarah said while looking away from him as she couldn't find anything else to say.It's been more than five minutes since he entered the room. But none of them said a single word yet. Elijah kept standing by the door with an emotionless e
"To clear things off?" "Yes." She answered with a nod and sat up straight. She sat properly while facing him and smiled at me. "You thought exactly what I thought you would think about me." She said with a small chuckle. Elijah was confused would be an understatement. He was more than that. He was feeling offensive seeing her casual attitude. He thought her to be like every other rich and spoiled girl. He thought her to be like a 'true Watson'. But was she here to prove him wrong? "You know what? I actually thought a lot from the time I heard the news of… you know, Helena's wish, I thought a lot. I thought of what's happening in my life. I was angry when we got married. I thought the right of choosing my life partner was taken away from me. I felt like my freedom was taken away and I blamed you for it initially but never for once I thought low of you because of your professi
He couldn't believe that she was so mature yet so childish at the same time. This time it was his time to smile as he gave her hand an assuring squeeze. "As you said before, it's not like I have any other options." He said with a small playful eye roll which made her laugh. "We are great friends already!" She said and he just smiled at her. "Can I ask you some questions?" He asked in an unsure tone while withdrawing his hand. He already started to miss the warmth of her soft hand. He could always hold those hands and never be tired. What's happening to him? Why was he feeling like this? He wasn't supposed to feel like this. Not now! It's going to ruin everything. Everything. He can't let that happen but what is he going to do? He seems to lose it every time she smiles at him. "Oh, I am so sorry! I totally forgot that you might have so
"Sorry, to interrupt you, ma'am. But you have a really important meeting in half an hour." Mary said as she entered the room after getting permission from Sarah. Sarah looked at her in confusion. She doesn't remember having any meeting in half an hour. She was supposed to go to her father's company after her meeting with Elijah was over. Nevertheless, she nodded at her and looked at Elijah with a smile.
