I was worried that someone might see him and my peaceful life will be turned over. So I requested him to leave and also thanked him for coming. I did tell him that it was not his fault and everything is ok. He kept on going ‘I have made sure that journalist and others who were there are fired. I won’t let them find a single job. They put you in danger. I can’t breathe properly thinking how dare they pushed you, how dare they even touched you, I am going to break them apart’ I stopped him and said ‘please don’t, they were doing their jobs, they all might have families to look after, please don’t do anything harsh, I don’t want to be the reason of anything bad happening to them, and please don’t bother yourself, you don’t have to do anything, also it wasn’t you who they saw me with, it was Sebastian when he visited my cafe that morning of the meeting’ He looked at me and said ‘ I know, but he shouldn’t have been there’ He came close to me, sat on my bed beside me and took my ha

The next morning was not easy. I woke up with millions of thoughts , for the first time in so long I was not enjoying the beautiful morning of our town. I walked towards my cafe, the beautiful mountains as always gave my heart some relief, but peace was not to be found today inside me. I reached my cafe and opened the door, started making preparations for the day, Nina came to me and asked ‘How are you Bea, you look tired. What happened yesterday? Did everything go well?’ I said ‘I don’t know where to start Nina, it was a very unexpected day’ I explained through everything that happened the day before keeping some details out. Details about Adam’s confusion regarding me, details about Sebastian’s odd behaviour. I think I wasn’t ready to share it with anyone until I myself knew what was going on., but I did tell her about the meeting, hotel project, my part in it etc. She was visibly shocked, but it took her not more than 5 minutes to get over it. She gave me a hug and went alo

While driving me back home, Adam looked surreal. I thought to myself what a day I have had today, full of surprises. Yesterday I didn’t know this person, today I am sitting in his car beside him. I would have never thought that I would also see Sebastian today. The trauma he brings along for me is not something I am looking for. The way he talked to me today after the meeting, those words that he will keep an eye on me still made me feel heaviness in my heart. Adam’s voice broke my trance. He said ‘Miss Beatrix, are you ok?’ I replied ‘Yes I am ok, I am sorry I got lost in my thoughts, it has been an eventful day’ ‘It is just the beginning Beasty’ he leaned towards me and opened the glove box, retreating Chocolate M&Ms. ‘Here you go, your favourites’ he smiled and gave me the chocolate pack. Oh my, they are my favourite, how does he know. Thousands of thoughts circled my head. We reached home, I didn’t even tell him the way, I was very confused and a bit uncomfortable as

I turned around and looked at him with confusion. I said ‘ Look Adam I am not sure what is going on, first you called me Beasty today after the meeting, which I don’t remember anyone ever calling me by that name and now you are saying you know about how I dreamed of having a place like this, what is going on. I am sorry but I am not someone you know or have known before’ He smiled and said ‘don’t worry about it, lets start what we are here for’ He pulled my chair for me like a gentleman. ‘So the first thing you need to do is sit with my team and talk about your vision of the place we have decided to use for the hotel’ he said. ‘My vision, how?’ I said. ‘ just how you imagined the hotel to be when you pitched the idea of building it in that abandoned block of land near the lake, just in simple words and my team will transform it into official designs. You will definitely have to approve the designs when they are made. We will go forward with the design you approve. You will

Sitting in my garden with a book in my hand, for the first time I was not able to put my mind into it. My brain kept replaying the day’s happenings over and over again. Sebastian’s odd behaviour, Adam’s mistaking me for someone else, the Hotel Project, me being a part of this big project all of these thoughts were not ready to leave my mind soon. I was so engrossed that I lost the sense of time, when my doorbell rang thats when I got back to my senses and looked at my watch, it was exactly 7 pm. I ran towards the door and saw Adam’s assistant standing there, he said “ I am here to pick you up Miss Beatrix. I completely forgot about this, I said I am so so sorry. Give me 5 minutes and I will be ready. I took a light greenish dress out and slid into it as quickly as possible, for hair I had a messy pony and my white heels. I came out and sat in a Rolls Royce, for the first time. I saw a damn Rolls Royce in our town for the first time. It made me feel uncomfortable. I wanted to get

I came out of the conference room a bit flustered and confused. Uncle Peter came out and held my hand saying he is proud of me and is so glad that he took me along to the meeting. The Mayor came out and gave me a nod of appreciation and left. I started walking towards my cafe completely engrossed in my own thoughts about everything that just happened. As I was walking through the resort’s garden towards the main gate, a car came from behind and stopped close to me in the driveway. Adam stepped out of the car and came towards me, I took a few steps back. He looked as elegant and handsome as a Greek God. I thought to myself the pictures on the internet don’t do him justice. I pulled myself out of these thoughts and scolded myself within for even looking at him. I asked how can I help you, he replied “you already did. I got the project and your town got the best future possible. Don’t forget that the deal is on only if you be a part of it. So I will send my assistant to pick you up
