Christmas was on its way to the cold and chilly London. Anna had strictly ordered her kids to come home for Christmas. So Pari and Ian didn’t have any choice. They had to wrap up all the important work before they leave for Christmas vacation. So the important meetings were scheduled throughout the week on the week before Christmas. They were having a meeting with their partners from various sectors and the plan of actions for next year were to be discussed. Ian sat next to Pari in the meeting room as usual and Pari was busy taking down the notes of the meeting. Everything was going normally, but she didn't know what problematic food he had for his breakfast, his nonsense and naughty side of the brain was switched on. His left palm which was resting well on the table was now on her thigh after some time. Her breath hitched when he started drawing random patterns on it while others were busy with presentations. 'For heaven’s sake I’m not his drawing book and he isn’t a prescho
She had played well, Ian should have been careful with her intelligent girlfriend. Her perfect comeback plan had left him hot and bothered. He called her through the intercom once he revived from his shock. "You didn't play fair Pari" He whined. "We were not playing Chess Ian. There are some things I'm good at too. You shouldn't have underestimated my talents " She was giggling in mockery. "This game is on Pari. We'll play this some other day " Ian was determined to win. "Bring it on Mr. Evans" "Sure soon to be Mrs. Evans" The special endearment he used had already caused her to blush deep red. "I have things at hand. My boss needs notes. So please restrain yourself from office romance and focus on your work too" She tried to divert the topic. "Sometimes I feel like I'm your employee. You keep bossing around me a lot these days" Not that he ever complained. For a man who hardly accepted commands from anyone else, he was an obedient pup for all her demands. "Well I love bossing
Finally after the long vacation Pari and Ian were back to office to their normal schedule. Once done with arranging his cabin, she was waiting for him with his coffee. When the clock struck 9 he walked in with his perfect bossy aura and expensive clothing. Even after so long, Pari was still in awe with his looks and attitude. "Good morning sir" She wished him with a perfect professional smile, even after he had practically begged her to call him sir when they were inside his cabin and alone. "Morning my love, So what are we doing today" Ian loved teasing her with multiple nicknames especially when she had strictly said no to office romance. They loved riling up each other and none of these tiny teasing caused a problem in their lovelife."Luckily not too many meetings, but the construction sector is waiting for your approval with some projects. So we'll have a discussion with them after lunch. Till then you need to check all these files and sign them" She handed him some files which
Month of January had become extra busy for everyone in I&E as February 13th would mark the 10th year of I&E. Ian's empire had survived all the hurdles and stood strong and mighty for the past one decade. Building a mighty conglomerate group out of scratch wasn't an easy task, but Ian wasn't a man who gave up things easily. Preparations had begun from early January as it was the biggest milestone for I&E. Pari personally took charge of things and checked every detail along with Austin. Beginning from the guest list to the menu of the event, everything was curated with standards. Ian was happy about the way Pari handled things, he would give his timely inputs at times of need. But because of her added responsibilities, she would find it difficult to balance her love life and work life. Ian, being a loving boyfriend, understood the situation and calmed her down. "You're all mine once these things are done sweetheart. I can wait" was what he said to her. That was the assurance she need
While Pari was busy drifting to dreamland and Ian busy with his guest, unknown to them some danger was lurking in their lives. Archer, who thought of charming Pari through his wicked plans, had miserably failed. Abby, who was planning to split Pari and Ian through mind games, was doing no better than Archer. That's when Archer decides to level up his game. He had contacted Abigail to meet up for a casual dinner. Abigail was definitely surprised to receive an invitation by Archer, who was clearly the biggest business rival of Ian. Nonetheless, she accepted it and met him."I know you might be surprised with sudden dinner plans, but this was necessary for achieving a common goal" Archer directly jumped into the topic after initial pleasantries. "I wouldn't say I wasn't shocked, but I'm definitely curious to know the common goal now that you have mentioned it" Abby swirled the wine in her glass. "I'm not a man who beats around the bush, so let me get into the topic directly. I have a
"What the hell is happening Austin? What kind of rubbish is running on news channels? " Ian questioned Austin with a stern face. As soon as he was back to consciousness, he got the information about the media mess up about the entire events. This not only damaged his reputation but also meant threat to his company. "I'm sure all these are planned, sir. If I'm not wrong we all know who might be behind this. But we can't jump to conclusions right away. This has already become a hot search issue right now. Some photos of you and Ms. Williams have been leaked through the internet and our PR team is trying to handle things. I have already informed our private investigator and the case will be solved as soon as possible. Maybe we need to have a press conference to clarify things from our end, as it involves both you and Ms. Williams's reputation" Austin tried to explain the situation to him. "Where's my phone? Has anyone from home called me?" Ian frantically inquired. "Your phone
Pari fished through google to understand what her best friend was saying. 'Headstrong CEO head over heels with the Beauty ' , 'Millionaire Caught in action ', 'London's eligible hotshot is taken' blah blah blah were the articles that popped up along with the photos of them from the party. When she opened the crappy articles, she found more nonsense written in it. Some of them had even made speculations of Abigail's pregnancy with photos of her visiting a hospital. "What the fuk is wrong with the media? Why the hell is my boyfriend portrayed as that bitch Abigail's boyfriend? What's with the stupid snaps? Ian can never ever do that. How did they create all this nonsense?" She was frustrated after seeing everything. "Shit.... He must be worried and stressed because of all this nonsense." Now she was worried about him more than anything. She tried calling him but his phone was switched off. She tried Austin's phone and it was busy. She walked downstairs and started pacing around in
"Shall I help you with the breakfast mam? " Evelyn asked Pari as they had now moved to the kitchen ignoring the presence of Abigail. "I can manage Evelyn. You can look for something else or better take some rest since you stayed up last night" Pari knew there would be an upcoming drama and she didn't want Evelyn to waste her time in this bizarre event. "Ok then. If you need anything, just let me know" Evelyn smiled at Pari and walked out of the kitchen. On the way she didn't miss shooting a glare at Abigail. Somehow, Abigail's presence had irked Evelyn especially after knowing the whole scandal news. Pari, who had the kitchen for herself now, decided to check on the groceries and plan the dishes she could cook and began working soon. She carelessly kept humming a song as she moved around the kitchen and it didn't sit well with Abby. "How could you be so calm after knowing what's happening outside? Aren't you worried about anything? People are writing so many things about m
