“Dimitri?” Nina couldn’t believe her eyes that whom they were seeing in front of her after so many years. Her schoolmate and her childhood friend, Dimitri Erold. She blinked in order to make sure she was not dreaming but when she saw him coming towards her with a smile on his face, it confirmed for her that she was not dreaming. He was really in front of her. “Hey! After a very long while, Halzen,” he uttered while opening his arms for her. Smiling, she hugged him tenderly and he returned her gesture. “So how are you?” he asked her, beaming. Pulling back, Nina smiled at him more widely. “I am absolutely fine. How about you and your family?” she asked him back. “We all are good. How is your grandma?” his question dimmed her smile and it faded the happiness from his grey eyes. “She is no more,” she told him in her gloomy voice which made him sigh. He hugged her again. “I am so sorry,” he uttered, softly caressing her back. Nina pulled back her head and forced a smile at him. When s
“I was not aware that my people believe in eating the food before serving it to our guests,” he uttered, staring at that cerulean-eyed employee of his who was now frowning at him and it turned him amused. He was missing her, so he decided to come here to get a glimpse of his favourite employee but he had not expected to witness such an adorable and amusing sight here.“We apologise for it, Mr Alfanso. It was just….” the head manager tried to explain, thinking their boss was finding this unprofessional, just like the other employees who were present there but only if they knew what their youngest staff member meant to their boss. Sending him a tiny glare who was now smirking at her reaction, Nina tried to gulp down that cupcake in her mouth hurriedly but without trying to chew it first and it resulted in her choking badly. His smirk faded and his eyes widened in concern, seeing her coughing. Rican stormed towards her and started caressing her back, in order to help her in calming down
Rican was waiting for Nina in his master bedroom when he called her and got to know that she was still working and would call him in a while. After receiving her answer, he got out of his room to get some other work done in that place. He was striding towards somewhere when his gaze fell on Nina’s reflection which was reflecting on a glass door. She was standing on one of the balconies of the place which confused him. What was she doing there all alone? Bewildered, he walked in her direction and that was where he found out that she was not alone there. A man was present there with her. First, he thought that man was one of the visitors and she was just doing her work by guiding and helping him but when he watched them smiling and talking with each other so much, his understanding started slipping away. Who the fuck was he?Now Rican’s eyes started noticing the little less difference between their bodies which messed up with his head. He had never allowed anyone to enter into his empl
“Who the fuck was he?”Nina’s heartbeat dropped, witnessing the way he was glowering at her. If eyes could kill, then she would have been dead by his malicious gaze a long while ago. He was looking really very mad and angry and it was scaring the living life out of her.“I saidWhoTheFuckWas He?” he stressed out on each and every word of his which terrified her more. The malice in his eyes deepened while his demeanour continued to turn more and more dark. It told her that he was running out of his patience and before he would burst out at her, Nina swallowed and finally decided to open her mouth.“He is Dimitri. He used to be my schoolmate and we became friends when I was in 5th grade,” she told him while looking down at the floor and he waited for her to complete her story.“We used to be each other’s dance partner in every school function and he also used to help me in my studies as he used to be my senior,”Rican frowned. Fucking dance partner and on the top of it, they used to
“I hate you, Rican,” Nina breathed out, tearing up more under him while he just peered down at her. They both knew she was lying because she loved him more than her own self and she was saying this just because he had scattered her emotions terribly. He had messed up her feelings which made him feel guilty. Leaving her pinned wrists, he tried to wipe those tears in her eyes but Nina pushed his hand away and looked away from him. She closed her eyes and silently shedded her tears which made him sigh heavily. “I am sorry, Nina,” he whispered in her ear, bringing more tears in her eyes. “I am extremely sorry for hurting you, mi reina,” he uttered but she shook her head and looked at him through glossy eyes. “You do this every time. First hurt me and then say sorry,” she said to him. “It’s like my emotions and feelings never matter to you and that’s why it is so easy for you to hurt them over and over again,” she didn’t stop herself from accusing him of hurting her feelings because th
“We will make my Nina love her Rican again tonight,” Nina’s heart tingled when he whispered those words against her mouth. Her Rican? Not only he called her as his but he also accepted to be hers. Her Rican. Her tummy filled with butterflies while her heart started giggling in happiness but she still decided to give him some hard time. After all, she had shed so many tears because of his cruel choice of words. It hurt her a lot, so she should teach him some lessons.Rican pressed his lips against her and was about to kiss her but Nina pulled back her head and looked away from him.“I have no intention of loving my boss tonight,” she uttered, showing him her tiny anger. He smiled at her words and at that adorably angry pout of hers. Amiably pecking her cheek, he tightened his hold around her and pulled her closer on his lap.“But your boss needs his favourite employee to love him all the time,” he whispered in her ear. The butterflies inside her tummy declared a war at his choice of wo
“So he is not coming to pick you up today?” Nnna heard Rachael asking her for the third time which confused her but she didn’t pay much attention to it. “No, he has some important work at his office,” Nina told her. They both were heading towards the main gate of their college after getting done with their classes. “More important than you?” Nina heard Rachael uttering in a disbelieving tone which made her look at Rachael. “I mean, what could be more important than you for him that he could not come to pick you up? Besides, he is the owner himself, so if he wanted, he could have delayed or postponed his work for you,” Nina frowned, hearing Rachael’s words. It didn’t make any sense to her. “He is the owner himself, that’s why his responsibilities and work are more. He could not show leniency towards his work,” Nina immediately defended him because that was the truth. He was the owner, that didn’t mean he did nothing in his office. In fact, being the owner, his presence was extremely
“Your friend, Rachael, is that girl whom I had seen with Cain that evening in his car,” Nina’s world froze when she heard those words coming out of his mouth. Rachael was that girl with whim Cain was cheating on her with? No, this was not possible. Rachael was her best friend. She knew about her relationship with Cain, so why would she do that? He might have been mistaken.“What are you saying?” she uttered, looking at him in disbelief because her heart was not ready to accept that now even her best friend had betrayed her. “It must be a misunderstanding. Rachael could…..”“I have seen it with my own eyes, Nina,” he halted her. He knew her emotions were too delicate, just like her heart. She didn’t want to believe this because she was terrified of feeling that pain of betrayal again and this time from her own best friend but he needed to make her understand everything for her own good.“That girl whom I had seen that evening with Cain in his car is that same exact girl with whom you
