"I said it, and it's your decision to make"
She lifted the purse which had been on the table, swiped off her mouth to show she had enjoyed the morsel of sweet her taste buds had detected, and walked away, in a femme fatal style; that ramp walks kick-ass heroines made use of at the end of their confidence act or bravery show.
On the other hand, Aiden felt insulted.
Never in his life did he feel so defeated.
And never would he ever feel so.
But this was like a coin's probability.
After having made ten thousand business deals, he was a major hit at this. Always playing his cards right, doing the right thing, gaining profits over losses, enjoying his own victory, devastating other hopes; he was so used to being selfish that he had never known what it meant to be stuck in an emotion like this.
This was so different now. He had experienced something he had never felt before. Now, it wasn't about that woman being a chef, or her body being so cute that it could fit perfectly into his; it was only about she being she.
And now everyone was after that, especially his biggest rival of all time.
He fell upon the couch.
There was no way out of this.
He had to accept the proposal.
No matter what he did, he knew he wanted at least a few days with her alone. There was no other way left out of this, and he knew it.
His plans ran across that burning head, once more and again.
Just then a shadow lingered in front of him.
A very familiar shadow.
"Master?"
"Mm?"
"She isn't coming out of the room. She is acting........strange"
He sighed and looked up. Harry stood, frozen to death. This wasn't the time of course but he hissed a bit and threw his palm up.
"Master, I'm so sorry but she is too much to handle."
Aiden flew up from the couch,
"Keep your manners when you judge her!"
He bit his tongue. Then extended his palm, upfront. Aiden whose mind was dilemmas and furious didn't notice until when the red tinge caught his eye.
"A wound?'
"She bit me"
He barely made out the words. Aiden looked up, met his glance, and averted gaze.
"Master, I'm sorry"
He shook his head, and without a word, made way for the room.
Just then, her voice arose from the main door.
"Mr. Aiden! Make your deal and go!"
A growl escaped his mouth.
She was enjoying it.
His culprit felt the victory.
He screamed, clenching his fists, turning his back to Harry who was as hysteric as a blind man.
"IT'S ON!"
Diary entry 22
Sorry man, I didn't come often after .........like four years?
Well, it has been traumatic. My life, the ups and downs. Reading minds, getting caught up in situations I didn't ask for, and now bloody nonsense...of my dad.
Anyway, yesterday something happened. And I have to tell you about it.
I visited that annoying Halsey for the business deal and as much as Harry got shocked seeing she was dying, I received the same feelings from the aroma of the kitchen, and the sight of perfection beholder in the bathroom.
Now don't you misunderstand the situation.
I had never seen a woman like that before in my life, so if I had to marry for her, kill for her, or even die for her, I was born ready.
A woman who had completely frozen me in my day to day life matters.
I cannot stop thinking about her.
Not even now.
Especially now, when I am off to bed.
How great it would be to have a conversation with her, have her here next to me, smile or eve aggravate the shit out of me?
I would take it all.
I just needed her here.
Now, I don't lose to anyone so I have given her a personal invitation.
Surely that Halsey wouldn't let her, or she would walk in alongside her tomorrow.
Let us be ready for whatever might come.
Bye.
Aiden
Knock! Knock! "I don't wanna meet anyone, except for my mistress. Where the heck is she?" Aiden remained silent. There was no particular answer he could give at the moment. "Let her in, and I will come out. Take me back!", she screeched. Aiden left a sigh. Harry and the gardener along with the Scottie had walked in through that kinking door, standing aside, waiting for orders. "Master?" He flicked his fingers, and showed them a finger, pointing in only one direction; outside. They bowed respectfully and walked outside. The door closed behind them. Just then, a sound came from the other side of the door. "Master?!”, a smirk, “Now, rich man, are you whom they address as 'master'?" Aiden listened intently. Even her sound was as refreshing as the cool drinks. A sneer again. "That's weird. Mistress always wants herself called as 'Mom' or 'Aunt'. This itself defines you, rich guy" Rich guy...... That isn't new... In pretended frustration, he knocked vigorous
The day rose to great weather. Birds were chirruping as a competition to the cawing of those crows, and amidst all the commotion, Scottie was yapping his hunger off in barks. "Calm down, lad!", jabbered Jacob, massaging his white beard a bit as his slender veined arms took the fresh meat from the locker. The kitchen was brimming in a good delicious chicken smell, which must have disturbed Scottie's sleep earlier than usual. Well, even Harry was on his legs to get a good taste of it. "I need to say, Anna, you have got great magic in this!" She giggled. In a white apron, yellow leggings, and hidden red sash top, she was shining in a ponytail like the childish look, tending to the turkey and the chicken grilling their ways on the frying pan and oven respectively. "When will it be ready?" "In a minute!" She ran to the side drawer, to get the dressing for the salad. The ice cream made with her own hands looked as sugary as ever and completely set, while the pulses and the rice remain
My visit to Mrs. Halsey must have troubled him so much. Because when I was back, he was sitting with those legs crossed, staring at me like I had a confession to make. "Where were you?" "Just say I called to give some of your clothes..." "My clothes were back there. I had to get them" He didn't seem convinced, or maybe he did. For a fact, he was like a pigeon whom you couldn't question thoughts at. "Okay. So why two hours?" "Because you talked with your colleague chefs for a while." "I saw my friends too...They all kinda miss me.." He nodded and slipped his lips into a line, "Do you?" I met his gaze, "What?" "You miss them too?" I cleared my throat as if my ears were joking, "What if I did?" He stood up from the couch and sighed, "Too bad" My lips almost spilled those curses but thankfully, I kept it under control. He loves me? Fuck, why did I even think of such an absurdity? "Get back to work." Saying so, he strode off without another glance at me. I swallowed my ang
"Where is the exact location?" "You can't just barge in when you want. A private meeting is going on" "But Master forgot his food!" "Food isn't more important than rules" I almost spat my frustration out at him but remained silent enough in order to let the calm vibe walk in. There was no way I was destroying my image by actually fighting with a security guard. Mistakenly or as to how it should be, Mr. Aiden, the world-class man whose good qualities shined everlastingly, had forgotten his lunch bag. Being the one and only who could get it to him, here I was, in the most formal wear of mini skirts and white sleeves, wanting to meet him. "This shall be given to him" "Please let him know a piece of my mind too" I gave in, as fast as possible, just when the guard was getting a bit too excited by my dress. I almost killed him with a glare and began to walk off to the taxi driver when I heard a gate creaking open. I turned around and found Harry in blood and flesh. My blood ran throu
"Two Americanos"I simply had no idea this would be so easy. Knowing what a man he could be, intolerant and the least caring type, I was expecting him to be ignorant. But that strange knocked-out face made me think twice on whether he was pretending, but it seemed, either way, benefit able for me."You like Americano?""You?"He raised an eyebrow. I slapped my face and smiled"Sorry, sir~ Do you like Americano?"He stared at me, blankly, those words failing to come out.I smiled again and he looked elsewhere. Thankfully, the cafe wasn't in the off times, or rather let's say, the rich of the building were too busy to even grab a coffee. Apart from a woman with a dog, there was not a soul, and the waiter; a young guy got us our coffees.The fact he bent a bit to bow in front of Aiden made me exhale a bit."Why coffee?"This question seemed unexpected. I mean, when someone invited you, that is not what you ask unless and until you are planning to have the coffee in an awkward conversation
"What have you learned?" I looked down, 'Specifically nothing much"Mrs. Halsey seemed irritated, She signalled for coffee and sighed,"I thought you would make it easily""He is a wall, mistress. I can't just.....barge in""I know! But you are perfect for this job"She was trying to build over my already dripping confidence. Because I didn't know what I want; that man or his secrets."You can do it. Trust me. You have all my help"I took a deep breath.Yes, I could."Tell me, what is that mistress actually wants?"She smiled,"His papers of the land""Where were you?"I got in, only to be noticed by Harry. My mind sped again, in the same intensity whenever he came closer."Coffee with......friend"He shook his head, "Seems like someone else, but I will leave it at that"He offered me the way, as a respected man."That is some manners Master must learn"He grinned, "Aiden has his way of things. He has always been like that""Your too informal", I cleared my throat, to show it was no o
I hated him."Did you meet Mrs Halsey?'No.I held my breath, "I can't do this , Yana. The more I stay there, the more suffocating it gets, and I just can't ...I wanna kill him so bad tomorrow, itself, that I won't show the patience to get Misssus what she wants as well"Yana, my friend in the kitchen once, and still held my hands.We met in the park.After Aiden left, I made sure to arrange food for Jacob uncle and Harry, leaving Aiden's lunch box with him since I had no mind to take it again like a loser, get a sort of a date and some really irritating butterflies before he just threw me around like garbage."You just have to hang on. Missus says its her last wish before death"I wanted to cry."But why me, Yana? Why couldn't it be Smrithi or Shekhar? They would have done a great job!"She knew that."Well, that man is to blame. Aiden is a whole lot of what he manages to cause as the talk of the town. Stubborn, annoying and unpleasant. Nobody really kicks off with him. Since his busi
