"Please walk toward the door and knock on the door six times without stopping. After that wait for Mr King's permission to get in. After getting the permission, get inside and Mr King will guide you with the further process. I will be outside, by the elevator to escort you out after you are done with the meeting. Good luck." Jonah said in a strictly professional tone, stopping her from asking any kind of questions.
She had a lot of questions after hearing his instructions. But she kept all the questions to herself and nodded at him. She just wanted to get over with the damn meeting without wasting any time as it was already really late. Also, a lot of drama is yet to unfold for the night.
She stopped in front of the door and took deep breaths. She knocked on the door according to the 'instruction'.
One… two… three… four… five… six and done.
Now, she has to wait for the
Leave me reviews and gems!
"Miss, Watson. Let me call a cab for you." Jonah proposed while giving Sarah small worried looks every now and then. She has been lost in thoughts from the time she came out of the room where she was having a meeting with his boss. He knows how frustrating his boss can get which can make someone want to pull his or her hair out. He came down to make sure she got in her car and drove away carefully. It was a strict order from his boss. Now that he looks at the situation, he was relieved that he came down to see her off. Because when they came down, the guard who went to bring her car from the garage where it was parked, informed that it broke down and refused to start. "It's okay. You can go now. I will manage." Sarah said while looking lost again. She didn't look at him while talking and her eyes were at the other side of the road. "But Miss Watson… your car…" Jonah tr
"And you can open your eyes now." Elijah said while removing his hand away from Sarah's eyes slowly. "Okay!" She replied with excitement and opened her eyes slowly while clutching his coat over her shoulder around her body tightly. A small frown made its place on her face after she opened her eyes and met nothing ahead in her sight. The place was an empty field without any trees or buildings anywhere near. She turned around to look at him without hiding her confusion. "It's your special place?" She asked and he nodded his head at her. "Seriously? You brought me here on that death riding machine just me standing in the emptiness?" She asked with a deep frown. A while ago when she was lost in her thoughts, she suddenly heard a loud honk which startled her and as well as brought her back to the world. She looked around to see a black bike standing in front of her. The rider of the bi
"Now tell me why you brought me here?" She asked while looking back at him. "You wanted to come to my special place. It's my special place." He replied with a small shrug. "Okay and what's so special about it?" She asked. "Well everything about this place is special. It is really close to my heart and you will know when you look up, in the sky." He said with a small smile and his eyes were up, looking at something in the sky. She looked at him in confusion before laying on his bicep comfortably before looking up in the sky. A surprised gasp left her mouth when her eyes landed at the sight in the sky. Thousands of stars were shining in the sky, making it impossible to find the darkness of the night. That's why she wondered why it was so bright in here even though there was no light there. Her eyes twinkled in happiness and awe as she kept looking at the shining stars.&n
"I will assume that you have made yourself comfortable here?" Sarah asked with a smile as she came into the kitchen of her cozy yet lavish apartment. They both come here, in her apartment which is close to her office and spend the night here. If anyone is wondering whether anything happened between them or not, nothing happened! Nothing happened after the kiss which they both shared which was initiated by Sarah but was led by Elijah. They both just broke off from the kiss and acted like nothing happened. But a small smile at the corner of her lips and a relaxed attitude of Elijah after the kiss said it all. Elijah turned around abruptly with a strange look on his face. It was like a dark cloud which passed away as soon as he realized her presence. She noticed that change of expression and it made her confused. "Are you okay?" She couldn't stop herself from asking as a small frown appeared on her f
He smiled at her after hearing her. "No, Sarah. Nothing happened. It's just from two weeks ago to till now, it was only you who talked which I loved to listen to. But I never said anything. I didn't open my mouth because I didn't want to offend any of you because you were superior to me. But in this one week, you have proved to me that you consider me as your equal if nothing else. I am really grateful to you for that. I know you are trying your best to make me feel welcomed and that proves what a big hearted person you are. You even went to give me your special first kiss to make me believe in you. I thank you for that with all my heart." He said with a lot of sincerity swimming in his eyes. "I don't know where you are going with this but can we please change the subject of our conversation?" Sarah joked with a small roll of her eyes. "No, please hear me out. What I want to say is it's really weird and
"Yes, I have all your requirements, Mr Donald. I will make sure you have the best anniversary this year. Thank you so much for trusting me and my company. We will not disappoint you. Okay, see you then. Have a nice day!" She spoke in a professional tone and cut the video conference which she was having with one of her clients. The smile which she was wearing till now was off her face as soon as she cut the call and wore her usual poker face. "Gosh, I am exhausted." She said and let out a sigh. She looked at the watch on her wrist to see it was five in the afternoon already. As if her busy schedule wasn't enough, now she has to go back to the mansion to go through another mental turmoil. Another freaking family dinner! She let out another sigh at the thought of it. She looked through her phone to see if she had missed any call or important messages. Suddenly she remembe
"You remember the promise, right?" Elijah asked one last time before tapping the switch of the calling bell of the Watson mansion. Sarah gritted her teeth after hearing him saying the same thing for the umpteenth time now. She has started getting frustrated. She turned around to glare at him. "Yes, yes, I remember! I will not lose my temper and snap at them. I will just sit there like a robot as they play with you as if you are a ragged doll. I will not try to talk to you till the time we are around my family and behave cold around you and them so that they don't find out about what's going on between us. You basically want me to act like a complete careless stranger just the moment we get inside the mansion or whenever we are surrounded by people. That is what you want, right?" She snapped at him harmlessly after not being able to hear his constant reminder of the stupid promise which she made an hour or so ago.
IN SARAH'S OFFICE "That's unbelievable!" Mary exclaimed in shock. "How could you miss this point?! How could they keep this kind of clause in the contract?! That's utterly insane?! But again, how can you miss this point?!" She yelled in total frustration while throwing her hands up and around. "Will you stop throwing your hands around and yelling? They are giving me a headache now!" Sarah said in irritation while rubbing her forehead which actually started to form a headache. "Seriously?! Are you worried about that? Didn't you hear a word of what I was saying? We are in deep trouble! Think about that! Not about my hands and tone!" Mary snapped at her again. "Well, I am trying to do that. But if you stop distracting me with your hands and yell, I might just be successful in thinking of something useful as well." Sarah snapped back which made Mary huff. "Just sit down for a se
"Where is she?""How is she?""How did this happen?""I want to see her!"Four different voices exclaimed as they all made an entry at the same time. Elijah, who was lost in deep thoughts, came back to the world and looked at them in a little shock.There was Jonah, Mary, Nick and Natasha who one after another said and asked those things. All of their faces were filled with worry and fear.But among them, Natasha's expression surprised him a lot. It looks like she cried on her way here. She was that scared for Sarah! Unbelievable!"Elijah? Back to earth and tell us what happened here?!" Natasha exclaimed once again as she shook him.He looked at her with a small frown looking at the closed hospital door with a clenched jaw."Sarah is in there,
“Where is Sarah?” Elijah asked with a frown as he looked around the room, looking for her frantically. “Who are you looking for, sir?” A doctor asked in confusion after coming forward. “Sarah! Where is she?” Elijah asked in a panicked tone as he just remembered her. He remembered that she didn’t sound good when they were talking on the phone. She must be in some danger. He felt like beating himself up for forgetting about her. “Who is Sarah,sir?” The doctor asked in a fearful tone. “The one who called me to inform me about Eliana! She was here. I heard you guys when we were on a call. Where is she now?” He asked at the top of his voice. The doctor got scared once again. “We didn’t see anyone when we came here, sir. We got busy with Miss Eliana as soon as we entered the room.” The doctor said and he let out a frustrated groan. “Only god
Elijah felt like his whole body was going to turn cold in anticipation and fear. He tried to call Sarah quite a few times. It kept ringing but no one picked it up. He called the guards as well but no one was picking up the call. He gritted his teeth hard in anger. He was going to kill all of them. He reached the hospital and ran inside it, leaving the car unattended, without parking. He ran toward the elevator to find it taking longer to come down as usual but he didn't have much time. So, he ran toward the stairs to take it to reach the floor where his sister was. Hopefully Sarah was there too. "Oh god! Please let both of them be safe. They both mean a lot to me. They are my everything. Please god. I have begged you for a lot of time but he never showed any mercy but please just this one." He prayed loudly and frantically as he ran upstairs. He was breathless by the time he reached the floor. His heart start
Sarah forgot about everything else at that moment and walked toward the hospital room as fast as she could. She came to meet Eliana. She was supposed to stay there with Eliana for a few minutes before going to the office. She had a really important meeting today which she can't postpone or delay anymore because that's going to mess up her schedule. As she neared the room, she suddenly felt a bad energy coming from the room. The feeling was nerve wracking. It made her heart beat badly, for some negative vibe. She felt so scared suddenly and she didn't know why she was feeling so but it made her want to curl in some corner. It was so so bad! She slowly advanced to the room where Eliana was. Her heart was still beating crazily while her leg was wobbling. Her hand was shaking as she put her hand on the handle. She took some deep breaths. She looked back at the guards and they were still looking at their front with no expressions on their fac
THE NEXT MORNING "Good morning, beautiful." Sarah rolled her eyes at his new nickname and cheekiness. "Good morning, Mr King. Can you please tell me where you find such nicknames every new day?" Sarah asked with a sigh while walking through the hospital corridor. "Well, that's for me to know and you to find out." He said with the same level of cheekiness. She shook her head at him. "How are you today?" He asked after a few seconds. "I am good." She answered in a casual tone. "Are you happy?" He asked once again, making her confused. "Why are you asking that?" She asked with a raised eyebrow which obviously he couldn't see. "Well, you got your husband, your love." He stated and she let out a chuckle. "I am not even going to ask
"What is this man doing here? I just lost my appetite!" Samantha exclaimed like a spoiled brat as soon as she saw Elijah sitting on the dining table. Sarah frowned at her while holding Elijah's hand under the table. But she didn't say anything. "What's there to lose appetite, Samantha? Because as far as I remember about your desert preferences a few months ago-..." Natasha couldn't complete her sentence as Samantha's glare shut her up so she just smirked at her in reply. "Don't you think you have started talking too much these days? Are you sure it's good for your health and peace?" Samantha asked Natasha in a mean tone. "Oh don't worry about my health and peace. I belong to the group of those people who ruin other people's health and peace. So, I know how to protect mine well." Natasha replied back sassily while smirking at Samantha while Samantha was fuming in anger.
"Hello, Jordan. I am very happy to see you but I would have been happier if you had knocked before entering the room." Helena said in pure sarcasm, making Jordan wonder from where does this woman get all this humour. But he was too furious to care about that at that moment. "That bastard is playing a double game with us." He growled in fury as he slammed on the sofa where Elijah was seated previously. "Who are you talking about? And why do you sound so furious?" Helena asked, suddenly getting serious. "I am talking about your so-called master pawn! That damn driver, Elijah. He is playing some double game with us and that makes me furious." He said with gritted teeth, making her look at him with a deeper frown. "What are you talking about?" She asked in a blank tone. "I was just outside the door when you were talking with him." He said and before
ON THE OTHER SIDE "May I come in, ma'am?" Elijah knocked on the door. "Come in, Elijah." Helena spoke up with a small and it creeped Elijah so bad that he felt a shiver run past his spine. He kept his face blank as he got inside the room. It wasn't her office room this time, it was her bedroom. It made the situation more awkward for Elijah. He didn't close the door behind him this time. "Good evening, ma'am." He greeted her politely and she nodded at him with the same smile. "Very good evening, Elijah. I am seeing you after so long. How are you?" She asked in a tone as if she was his biggest well-wisher. "Thank you for asking, ma'am. I am good. I hope the same for you." He said in a low tone while looking down on the floor. "I am good as well, as you can see." She said with a smile. "Why don't you take a seat?" She as
"Now, tell me, what's going on?" Sarah asked as soon as they were inside Natasha's room and closed the door behind. They both took a seat on her bed and Sarah patiently waited for Natasha to open her mouth. But she sat there silently, looking down at her hands, without letting out a single word. Sarah looked at her with a worried frown. "Natasha? Is everything alright?" She asked slowly, in a tone filled with nothing but worry."I don't know, Sarah. My life is in a mess currently and I don't know what to do." Natasha said in agony while breaking down completely. Sarah's eyes widened and she was quick to lean forward and hug her tightly."Oh my god, Natasha! Please don't cry. Everything is going to be alright. Please stop crying." Sarah cooed in a caring tone while rubbing her back soothingly to calm her down.Natasha cried hugging Sarah back, without saying anything and Sarah understood that she needed time.
