Three days later
"Hey, good morning." Selena said while coming into the room with a plate of breakfast. She placed it on the small side table beside the bed. She sat down beside Anastasia's sleeping form and caressed her hair. "Wake up, sleepy head. It's our happy Sunday!" Selena said in a cheering tone while pulling Anastasia up to make her sit up.
Anastasia sat up with closed eyes and hugged Selena's waist. She put her head on her shoulder and fell asleep there. Selena chuckled at her childishness.
"You don't want to wake up?" Selena asked and Anastasia nodded her head in affirmative. "But it's Sunday, Ana. Our happy day. I thought we are going to do fun stuff today like we always do." Selena said with a small pout while pretending to be sad.
Anastasia opened one of her eyes and looked up at her from her shoulder. Selena maintained her sad face. Anastasia whined and sat up straight. She opened both of
"Selena! Are you freaking kidding me?! Is it the pub where we are partying?!" Anastasia exclaimed in bewilderment as she looked at the building in front of her in astonishment."Yes, babe! It's the pub where we are partying today!" Selena confirmed the information with the same amount of excitement as she wasn't expecting this at all.The building in front of them itself screamed only one thing, lavishness and luxury. From the look of it, anyone can say that only millionaires and people above that afford this. This pub is not for them if it wasn't for Selena's colleague. The pub was the most expensive pub in New York and they can say that from outside because the vibe they are getting from it is giving them an adrenaline rush.Thank god they were dressed appropriately and according to the theme. Selena used the advance from her job while Anastasia used the money which she got from interior designing. And they
"I think I found her." Noah said in a low voice as his eyes shined with tears.Darius sat up straight after hearing him. He got serious after hearing Noah. That sentence itself explained a lot about what Noah was going through. Darius kept his hand on Noah's shoulder and brought him in for a much needed brotherly hug. Noah didn't stop and simply hugged him back.Noah, the eligible bachelor who is known for his reputation with the woman wasn't like this forever. He was a complete lovesick puppy a few years ago. He was head over heel in love with a girl. His day started with her thoughts and ended there only. She knew everything single thing about him, including about Darius and his life as Noah always used to share everything with her. Because he trusted her with everything, even with his life. She was like an angel in his life who sorted every single problem of his life with a blink of her eyes.But something happened, t
"Lena! Are you okay?" Anastasia rushed toward Lena as soon as she was freed from the clutch of the man. She hugged Selena tightly and Selena hugged her back.The happening shook Selena the most and she needed Anastasia to comfort her at this moment. Anastasia broke the hug and started to check Selena for any kind of possible harm."Did he hurt you? Are you okay? Take deep breaths, Lena. I am here." Anastasia said while caressing her face soothingly to calm Selena down. Selena became normal soon but she was feeling disgusted as she remembered that man's filthy touch on her."I.. I am fine, Ana… are.. are you okay?" This time Selena asked in a worried tone while checking her too."Oh, I am fine! Wait a minute for me! I will just teach those bastards a lesson by kicking them where the sun doesn't shine. I swear!" Anastasia cursed to herself and abruptly turned around, ready to teach them 'a less
"Wait a minute! What are we doing here?! In your office?! Where are Noah and Selena? Where are they going?!" Anastasia exclaimed but kept following Darius. He was still holding her wrist while they kept walking outside the garage where they just parked their car."How much do you talk?!" Darius exclaimed back in irritation as from the time they walked out of the pub and till they reached here, she kept talking continuously."Well, how much can you hear?!" She retorted back as she was irritated too because he wasn't answering any of her questions."Well, I can't hear more than that because definitely I have reached my limit. So, can you shut up now?!" He snapped at her."Well, I definitely can talk more than that! So, how about you shut up now?" She snapped back and that was the last nail on the coffin.Darius had enough. Before Anastasia could figure out what's happening, Darius li
FLASHBACK "Why did you call me here, sir?" She asked in a meek tone while looking down. She has been looking at her shoes from the time she entered his office a while ago. Darius looked at her from top to head. She was wearing a really simple and baggy office dress. She kept her hair in a neat bun making her look like an aged woman while she was just twenty two years old. She was nervous and he can say that from her rigid posture. "Why? Can't the boss call his mere intern to his office?" He asked as he looked at her from his chair. He was sitting in a relaxing way on the chair as he was enjoying whatever was happening. "That's surprising, sir. I am just a MERE intern." She said while stressing on the 'mere'. She was still looking down. Darius raised his eyebrows at her. So, apart from purring, the kitten knows how to meow too? He smir
"Nothing much happened, Ana." Selena said while looking away from Anastasia with a confused look on her face. "Wait, wait, wait. Nothing much happened but a little much happened, right? And I want to know that." Anastasia said with stubbornness, not ready to hear any other word than what she wants to know. Selena sighed at her stubbornness. "Well, after you and Mr Henderson walked away, more like he dragged you away to somewhere, I was left with Mr Henderson's friend, Noah Weber." Selena started saying but for some reason she looked really confused. "Yeah? I also saw him beating that man like a beast for you. It looked like he was going to murder him. How did you stop him?" Anastasia asked in confusion. "I… I.. don't know. I thought he wasn't going to stop until he killed that man but the moment I kept my hand on his shoulder, he stopped fighting that moment, just like that.
"Uhh… No talking back, always keeping control of my big mouth, never being late, no disrespecting the boss, always doing all the work on time, no wasting time, always abiding by every command of the boss, completing all the work before leaving and.. and.. I don't remember the rest because you have a lot… requirements, more like tantrums." Anastasia said while looking away from him. She was still breathing hard as he had captivated her by putting his hands at both sides of her head on the wall. Darius kept looking at her nervous state. He clearly affected her and deep down in his heart he liked it. He smirked at her state and kept standing in the same position. "Look me in the eyes while I am talking is one of the rules too." He said in a husky voice, near her left ear. His breath fanned her skin on the neck and she took a sharp breath. She didn't know what was happening to her, why was she feeling so. S
"Hey, there girly! Had your lunch?" Selena asked over the phone in a cheerful tone.Anastasia let out a sigh after hearing her question after giving the pile of files in front of her."Hi, Lena. No, I didn't have my lunch yet. What about you?" She asked while closing the file she was working on and leaned back on her chair and let out a sigh.She is really tired. She doesn't remember working so hard in her life. She never thought that it would be her life when she had her fashion designing degree in her hand. From morning, she has been calling people and finalising the previous meetings, attended two meetings, has run errands from this floor to that floor for taking signs or delivering important files, made several appointments, had gone through several files and still going through them. At this point of time, she was completely drained as she didn't have her breakfast today. She also didn't take the elevator inst
