Elliot’s inner voice: Why am I bothered by those two being together?!!! Why? I just like her. It’s not like… liking is loving… no, not at all. Why do they wreck my nerves? Why Lazar?
Sally saw Elliot doing hand actions as if lecturing summon; eyes closed and facial expressions tensed, she stepped closer silently and tapped his shoulder.
Elliot: Celia, stop it!
Sally: Celia? Is she the one, you are hyped up for?! Really! Take these files. They require your signature. Celia is preparing for the upcoming children magazine, since children’s day is around. The assessment is regarding that. Check and see if it’s alright.
Elliot: You’re her mouthpiece? Why isn’t she here?
He called and asked her to meet him.
In Elliot’s Cabin
Celia: Yes?
Elliot: Ms. CEO, can you have the honour of visiting me, when the project is made by you?
Celia: I would have but I was occupied with oth
Sally: Don’t blame me! Does this look like my idea? Celia: Don’t deny it, Sally. Nothing happens without your permission. Elliot: Tsk, Tsk… Stop the fuss. Is it helping? Absolutely not, then just zip your mouth. Few Hours back The newly associated members were waiting in the conference room. Celia proceeded with Sally’s approval. Celia had initiated an idea for children this year; a concept which could lead the company to heights. Sally: Welcome everyone! Our setup for the children magazine will undergo a change and the details will be spoken by Ms. Celia in a moment. Meanwhile, Lazar inserted the pen drive. Celia: As you all can see, children… What happened? You all… Sally: Turn around and see. Board of Directors: Its better we leave now. This is really disgusting! Is this how y'all work in the company? I’ll be speaking to Mr. Ha
The next day Celia woke up with a refreshing mood. She changed her styling pattern to a girlish one and wore a beautiful pendant with a lipstick matching her lip colour. She was going downstairs singing merrily when she noticed few children waiting to escort. As surprised she appeared, so did the bouquet of orange roses. The kids welcomed her with the bouquet one by one and directed towards her car. She gleamed with joy and her laughter made the sunshine shy. For a moment she stopped and thought who could be doing this. She walked to her car, opened the door and saw Elliot sitting in the driver’s seat. Celia: What are you doing here? No… wait, how did you get in here? He turned his head to her. His eyes widened, nerves getting nervous, heart pounding irrationally and breeze intimidating him to sneak her in his arms; he was left awe struck. Elliot: What? Ah… just give me a minute… so, yeah, the kids helped me to lock pick your car. Celia: This
Mr. Richardson: How can you make decisions without my call?Mr. Peterson: Though our names tune but unfortunately this sounds harsh.Mr. Hansen: He too has a say in this. Go ahead…Mr. Richardson: The two contracts are quiet entangled but the first comes first. With this being said, my daughter and Elliot will stay together till we complete our deal. Once the profits are made, Mr. Peterson can go ahead with his terms and conditions.Elliot arrived at this moment and a wicked smile ran across his face. He nudged Sally saying, “This is what I was looking forward to. Seems like I know your father well.”Sally remarked him teasing, “Wish you took that effort to know me.”Elliot and Sally entered the scene and signed another contract agreeing to the above and the word was sealed. Allen eavesdropped the conversation and left stomping her feet.Peterson’s Mansion&nbs
While walking across the street where Celia lived, she saw Elliot talking to Allen. She overheard their conversation. Walking tip-toe, she stood behind a random car and placed her ears ahead.Elliot: Why? Is there anything special?Allen: Has it to be something special for you to come at our apartment?Elliot shrugged her question and walked quickly to his car. Allen, struggling to catch his pace was left prejudiced. Sally cat walked to her and enquired.Sally: Did you expect him to follow your orders?Allen turned around and gazed in surprise.Allen: How come you’re here?Sally: Forget about that! I dare you to spend at least one night with him. I bet you can’t…Allen: Don’t be so sure of yourself!Sally trick smiled and moved forward to her car.At the BarElliot striving to look for a distraction chugged 4 heavy liquors. A girl got int
Elliot: I’ll have to go and check the hotel. Don’t cry, crying won’t help you. He lifted her and hugged her warmly. Celia brought the servings on the other hand and ignoring the two left the breakfast on the table. Sally: I am happy to have you beside me… thank-you. After having the breakfast, Elliot went around looking for Celia. He looked for every spec and at last found a note on the door- ‘The key is under the flower pot. Lock the door before you leave and return it to me in the office.’ Elliot: This girl! Who said she could order me around? Sally: What’s wrong with your mood? Elliot: Couldn’t she have waited? Sally: Why is that bothering you? Lazar had called her for some work. Elliot clenched his jaws and picked his coat. Elliot: Let’s leave. Sally: Yeah In the office Elliot gathered everyone in the conference room. Elliot: Good
At the caféCelia: I’m glad you didn’t act recklessly.Lazar: Obviously, I know what he’s been up to. He’s been planning to remove me, right?Celia kept chewing her food.Lazar: I knew it.He grabbed the burger in front of him and recollecting something he looked at Celia.Lazar: By the way, who is Mandy?Celia: It’s an old crap of Mr. Elliot Hansen. Wanna listen?Lazar: Yeah, I would like to.She told him everything she remembered. Lazar’s eyes widened and he gaped stagnantly.Celia: You look absurd. What’s wrong?Lazar: Is he short tempered?Celia: Kind of but I think he has a possessive side like a dog has.Lazar: Dog? Ha! Ha! Ha! You got to be kidding; do you hate him that much?Celia was done and they were past the location when someone overtook their car.Lazar: Hey! Look where you’re goin
Allen’s house Sally: My mansion is better than this. Keeping Elliot here is way disrespectful than at my house. Lazar: Can we not debate over whether your house or hers is better? Sally rolled her eyes and slapping her heels to the floor, she went to the bedroom. Allen was still speaking with the doctor while Elliot lay unconscious beside. Celia: How’s he holding? Allen: Oh… he’s been injected to rest well. I’ll go and get the medications till then. She walked out with the doctor leaving three of them behind. Celia sat beside unconscious Elliot. She checked his temperature and then slightly massaged his hands. Lazar: He will be okay Celia, don’t worry. Sally: If that idiot hadn’t messed! Celia closed her eyes and rested her head on the bed while holding his hands. Sally: I think we should walk out…? Lazar: Yeah He glimpsed with sadness and walked out with S
Elliot: This is strange. She would never betray me. Max: Sometimes the closest one betrays you. Celia: We need to pull our socks up. Max laughed at this. Max: Pull up our socks? Celia remembered of what Max was signalling. Celia: Shut your mouth! Max: No, pull up your socks. She chased him like a dog chasing a cat. Indeed watching this wasn’t pleasant for Elliot. He had never seen Celia being gleeful around any guy except this one. Elliot: Cut it. We need to do something. You’ve got a plan? I’m running out of plans. Celia: Marry her that’s the only thing I see. If you marry her, Henry would get instigated and this will help us to trap him. As far as Allen is concerned, leave her to me and Max. Max: Is she beautiful? Celia: I’m not turning you in for dating her. Elliot: Are you comfortable with me marrying Sally? Celia: Why won’t I be? You’ve loved her since your school day
