"Sir, these are the records of the last week's shipments."
John says handing him over the list, slight fear evident in his eyes.
Ashton Lockwood was indeed a completely unexpected and unpredictable man and this made people fear him.
Ashton's eyes remain fixed on a name on the list a little longer. John gulped his saliva and started to explain.
"Sir they sen-"
A show of hand from Ashton's side made John to go back to silence.
"WV Chemicals..... haven't I told you not to deal with them?"
"Yes....Yes...Sir...but they are a very stable party ...they never block our payments and we are in need of liquid cash right now to continue the flow of our working capital..."
John explained but Ashton didn't look impressed.Instead, Ashton
"His silence was accusing and she desperately wanted to break it into million truths."He stood behind her with an expression that made her avoid his eye contact.It was not anger.Anger was still an emotion but his face was emotionless.She felt the temperature fall drastically as a sudden blanket of coldness numbed her chaotic mind.He was waiting for her reply but the poor soul was already shuddering under his cold exterior."I....I...was .... with....a frie..nd.."She said avoiding his eye contact and focusing on his shoes ,which took a step forward.He stood close to her making her hold her breath.His cologne was playing with her innocence heart and she couldn't control this new feeling from evading her senses.As soon as his heavenly breath fell near her lips, she looked up wide-eyed to see his gaze already
Elle stood near the jersey listening to its owner's worries.Her hands were patting the cow's body to make it accustomed to her touch."She has not been eating properly and is lethargic to even walk.""What about milking?""She was milking much more than her normal capacity since last few days but now she is not giving any."Elle nodded as she placed her hand near the cow's face to find it's pulse."Has she calved recently?""Yes..she gave birth to a calf a few days back"Finally, Elle measured her temperature and her doubts were confirmed.96°F was much lower than its normal temperature of 101.5 .She pulled an injection and filled it with the required medicine.Gently placing her one hand on the cow she injected the medicine.Slowly rubbing over the spot she turned to her owner."Will she be fine...I am really worried... that's why I called you from the city...""Don't worry she will
The source of the sound was much more dangerous.His face held so much anger that she wanted to run out of the room ,away from him.His eyes were fixed on only one person and disappointment was clear in them.He was disappointed to see her here.She looked down to continue picking the pieces when another roar echoed in the silence."Everyone! Out! Now!"Within seconds the people scattered like they were running for their life.She found herself alone to face the wrath of this beast."What are you doing here?"She refused to leave work and answer him.Truth being she couldn't even look at him after creating such a scene at his workplace."Just leave this sh** and Fu**** answer me ! What you are doing here?"She stood up looking at him with her teary eyes.But his expression didn't soften watching the moisture in them."Why were you serving them! Are you a maid here! And why the hell are you dres
Cameron and Mason stared at their friends face as he drowned himself in glasses of whiskey."Come on man...stop it! It's your 8 th glass dammit!"Cam said holding onto Ashton's glass.Mason placed a hand on his shoulder as Ashton held his head with one hand."What's wrong Ashton? Did Elle did something?"His friend looked up with his red eyes."Did something you ask? ! Her very existence irritates me! Her words...her smile. I behave like a fuc*** horny teenager around her!"Mason sighed and filled Ashton's glass with water."I hope you didn't say anything to Elle?"Cam asks concerned for Elle, who he considers as his little sister."I can't control myself around her?! She is testing my limits every time but I can't fuc**** afford to even say a single word to her!"Mason laughed and Ashton glared at him.
"Don't love anyone to the extent you forget your own self.Always think first about your own victory before working to make someone else victorious."..............................................She was never the kind of girl who could hurt anyone with her words and have a peaceful sleep.Nor was she the one who used silent treatment to hurt someone.But after that night she changed.She learned to keep her mouth shut when others didn't appreciate her words or pay attention to her.What was the use of shouting when no one was listening?What was the use of caring when no one asked her of her well being? She was cleaning the utensils when she heard his voice."Do I need to tell you again and again?? I think you didn't take my warning seriously last time.....""You dare
You thought I didn't care for you if only you knew I would lay my life for you"The clock was ticking and so was his anxiety.His fingers kept moving over the name "ugly duckling" saved in his contacts.But then it rumbled outside.The roar of thunder in the sky make him remember her fear of it.Without a second thought, his finger had already pressed on her name."The number you are trying to reach is currently not in your coverage area, please try again later."He tried again and again still the same message kept on repeating.Cursing he slammed the phone on the table and leaned back on the sofa.When it clicked.She has taken his car...His phone can track the gps of his car!Sh**! Why didn't he think of it earlier?Opening it in his phone, in zoomed in.Her loca
She woke up to bright lights blinding her along with a mild headache.Moving her hand she tried to shield her eyes when she found her hand to be tightly grasped in someone else's.With great difficulty, she blinked her eyes to be met with the beautiful face of her husband asleep with his head resting on her bed.She automatically smiled forgetting all her pains.Her other shaking hand moved to touch his silky hair when she found iv's restricting her movements.His sleepy eyes opened suddenly to stare at her with surprise."Elle...."He whispered with desperation and longingness."I am fin..e"She whispered before he could ask her how she was."Just how stupid can you be!! Going out like that when there was a red alert!! You coul-"He stopped when a voice interrupted him."You are not supposed to
"His coldness is soul-numbing but his sweetness can be heart-melting"She was getting bored listening to his business talks.On top of that, her body was in a desperate need of stretching.He has been driving for the last 5 hours with his business talks going on non-stop."Yes .... offcourse...no .....that will be all.....okay... bye"As soon as he ended the bluetooth call she sighed in relief."Can we....stop somewhere ?"He ignored her like usual focusing on the road ahead."Please, Ashton! My legs are numb and my stomach is growling in hunger!"He gave her an irritated look to return to accepting another call that was displaying on the touch screen."Hello...Good evening Mr Anderson....ya the order is on its way-"Again! This man is impossible! Is he a robot or what!Doesn't he
