Rod looked through the contract that he received from the Alfred group of companies. As he looked through it, he shook his head and confusedly after another look, he took his phone and dialled a number. The person answered on the second ring and he said to him,Sir, I looked through the contract sent from Miss Elsie’s company and there seems to be more mistakes compared to the second one submitted. What should I do about this?The person didn’t answer for some time in a few seconds, he said to Rod,I will be taking over this contract, you don’t have to concern yourself about it anymore.Rod was speechless, he glanced at the phone and kept it back beside his ear, then he thought to himself,Have I heard him wrongly? If he is going to work on this, what about the tons of work on his table?As he was thinking about this, he heard him say,Inform Elsie so you can arrange a meeting for us.Rod’s lips fell open but no words could come out of it.In Elsie’s office, she is busily typing on he
With that thought in mind, Elsie held her burning cheeks and shook her mind of that thought. But her eyes couldn’t leave his wet hair, she gulped done and without thinking, asked him,Do you need help with your hair? You should have dried it before coming out of the washroom. You keep doing that and you will catch a cold.Oswald smiled as he remembered that she would dry his hair anytime he came out of the washroom forgetting to get it dried. He guessed it had become a habit of it and still thought about that even after their divorce. Seeing the smile on Oswald’s face, Elsie shook her head again as she realized what she had said out of thought.She looked down and held the bag in her hands tightly as she squeezed her face. Oswald saw that she was nervous and regretted her words, this made the smile on his face deepen as he thought,I didn’t know you were this cute. Your actions depict your thoughts so much.He walked away from the door and said to her to walk in, he was still by the d
Oswald watched the lady who hadn’t realized what she said and he said to her to make her understand her words,Yes, we shouldn’t have divorced in the first place, our actions were rather rushed.Elsie looked up at him and recalled her words for him to answer in such a surprising way. When she did, she quickly took the glass of water on the table and gulped it down noisily. She shook her head and didn’t want to speak to Oswald again as she thought to herself,I seem to be uttering nonsense every time that I speak to him without thinking.Oswald also knew that she was feeling embarrassed and didn’t say anything anymore. Their meal was served and they both ate in silence. After Elsie was done with hers, she stood up and said to him,I will be leaving first, I need to put things together in the contract and I also have other things to do.Oswald looked up at her to speak but she was already walking away in hurry. He sighed and thought,How adorable. She’s really someone that I am getting
Elsie smiled inwardly and felt relieved that she hadn’t mentioned it first. She thought to herself,I was thinking of how to bring it up him. He has really saved me from thinking this through.It’s also good that you called, you wouldn’t be bothered about if I am okay with it or not. You can go ahead and choose another day.This was a fast agreement for Oswald, as he wasn’t expecting her to agree so soon. He stared at her and deduced that, she might have other things to do that day. He stared at her and wondered what she had to do that was so important that she didn’t think about the contract that she had tried do hard to get. He sighed and didn’t feel good about it but there was nothing he could do.He got up and said to her,Since we can’t make it that day, let’s meet the day afterwards. I’m sorry for asking you here on a short notice and for something meagre.Elsie smiled and shook her head. She got up and left without a word. Oswald watched her leave as he thought about the reason
The voice felt very familiar, Elsie felt she didn’t have to look back to know it was him, Oswald. She suddenly felt uncomfortable, as she felt she had been caught by him. But then, she thought about the reason he had come to the place for events. Was he coming to see the show as well?No, he isn’t someone to attend shows as leisure. Then, oh! He is preparing for his engagement isn’t he? I guess he is here to check it out. She thoughtElsie sighed and responded to him turning to look at him,I have lost my ear ring and that’s what I am looking for.Oswald nodded his head and then said to her,Then can I help you find it? I am not doing anything right now.Elsie shrugged and said thanks and then continued with her search. They searched the corridor but couldn’t find it. Elsie stopped looking and stood with her hands on her waist looking devastated. Oswald smiled and asked her,You are not giving up yet right? Let’s retrace your steps some more.Before Elsie could say anything, he had mo
The show had started and Elsie was the only one that sat on the front role. She kept sighing and looking around waiting for someone to join her on the front seat. But the show was already ongoing yet no one but her was there. She looked around to see if there was any empty seat that she could occupy, she didn’t see any available. Just as she was about to leave the seat, she felt a presence, the person sat beside her and she stopped standing up.She looked beside her and saw that that it was Oswald, she sighed inwardly and smiled slightly. Oswald smiled as well, he was pleased that he had chosen the manager had given him the ticket of the front row. Elsie looked at him and asked,“Why are you here? I thought you were here for another purpose. You don’t like noisy places, and it’s about to get loud.”Oswald felt happy that she didn’t feel burdened speaking to him in front of the crowd. He smiled and responded to her,“I wanted to have some fun time as well. I heard the crowd from the ot
The results of the show were yet to be pronounced and Aires couldn’t stay among the crowd to wait. He suggested to Elsie that they went to the rooms that the hotel had prepared for them to rest and wait for the results. Elsie looked around and realized that most of the crowd had went out as well. And so she agreed and they went out, in the hallway, Elsie saw Oswald enter a room leaving Tess out. She sighed and said to Aires,Wait in there for me, I will be back.Aires nodded and looked in the way she was turning to go and saw Tess by a door. He thought and said to Elsie,I can accompany you where you are going.Elsie wondered the reason behind the change of his mind and looked in the way he was looking as well and said to him,Don’t let your imagination run wild. Please wait for me in there.Aires nodded and finally agreed and thought to himself,She can take care of this alone, I don’t need to bother her.Elsie walked towards Tess with her arms folded on her chest. Tess saw her walki
Oswald concentrated on the menu and sneered. Because Elsie was looking in the menu, she heard him tell her,For finding you and taking you to the restaurant, I believe that I had saved your life. Considering that, you were starving to death. So, I would want you to treat me to a meal, just for showing your gratitude.Elsie looked up at him from the menu with a confused expression on her face. He raised his eyebrows questioning her stunned look and she looked away and thought,This is ridiculous, am I seeing Oswald right now? Where did the unemotional, uncaring man go to? I can’t believe he just asked me to pay for his meal. Oswald wasn’t like this before, what happened to him? If we were close, I would have asked him. It’s a pity.Elsie sighed and nodded her head and then answered to him,If you say so, by the way, are you short on money that you can’t pay for your meal?She shook her head and answered herself,No, it can’t be, how much is a meal? You could afford the whole restaurant
