You Look Lovely Today....!

Elara was frustrated by his words and thought to herself, "He's always causing problems, no matter what I do. What does he think of himself? And now I have to attend his lecture this evening. Oh god."

As she prepared for office, the doorbell rang. "Ohhh wow this bell works great, Who could that be?" Elara wondered. She opened the door to find an elderly woman standing before her.

"Hello, aunty. How can I help you?" Elara asked.

The lady replied, "Sorry, dear. I live opposite your flat and got confused."

Elara smiled politely and closed the door. Alex's mother felt uneasy.

She thought to herself “ what kind of girl is she?”

At the office, Elara had finished her fieldwork and returned to her cabin during lunch break. Everyone had left, but then Axel arrived.

"Hello, I need to discuss something with you immediately about work," Axel said.

"Yes, please sit and go on," Elara replied.

Axel explained, " I need your interior plans to ensure optimal space utilization. You're really good at this ." His eyes were fixed on her.

Elararesponded, "I understand, but I need time to review the construction plans. Let's focus on the project."

Axel nodded and handed her papers and a pendrive. "These are preliminary designs. And note "Subject to change."

Elara scanned them. "Give me three days to submit my ideas."

Axel urged, "Three days? Please make it fast. We have to present it to the chairwoman and clients on Friday."

Elara agreed, "I'll try to finish it by tomorrow or Thursday."

Axel thanked her, "Thanks."

Elara replied, "You're welcome."

As Axel left, he turned back, saying, "You look lovely today."

Elara raised an eyebrow and returned to work.

Outside, Axel encountered a person who was grinding his teeth and staring at him. Axel introduced himself. And asked him

He said " I am Grayson Wolfe, Assistant Manager in the Interior Department."

Axel said " I think I have seen you before ,guess yesterday evening at the parking lot of the apartment. You were talking to Elara ,right?"

Grayson Wolfe's eyes narrowed. "You're close to her, calling her by name. We've worked together for a year and a half, but she doesn't allow anyone to call her by her name. Address her as Ms. or Ma'am."

Axel noticed Grayson’s jealousy. "Yes, We're neighbors, living opposite each other, and working on the same project. We're closer than you think. Okay i will talk to you later because i am running out of time I have a lot of work bye" . As he said he left 

Grayson Wolfe's eyes turned red in anger. But didn't believe in his words.

That evening, Elara was driven to a mansion. As she entered, a servant announced, "Ma'am, Damien Sir is waiting for you."

Elara nodded and proceeded to her building.

Damien, her father, sat on the sofa, reading. As Elara entered, he glanced up.

Before he could speak, Elara said, "Listen, Mr. Thornfield, I've no time for lectures. I know what's right and wrong, especially regarding family and business."

Damien replied, "And killing someone is right too? Because they misbehaved with your dad and sister?"

Elara stood firm and changed topic. "Yes, I have. Tell your sister to leave Tessa alone. What is she up to?"

Damien sighed. "Elara, you're putting someone in your position, taking their place. How long will this continue?"

Elara replied, "Until I find the person."

Damien warned, "You never change. Remember, I've lost one precious thing already. If anything happens to you, I'll lose everything."

Elara interrupted, "Stop it. I'm tired of this. If you care, say what I've been waiting to hear."

Saying it she went to her room. She freshened up, visited her grandmother, and had dinner with her family. Her family was very happy to see her after some time, especially her step mother whose eyes were filled with happiness to see her. Elara can feel that happiness in everyone.

After dinner, she worked on her project.

As she was doing her work she got a notification when she saw it was from Tessa saying ‘ Ma'am we got project congratulations’

Elara replied ‘ It's your success congratulations to you’

Then she saw the front wall which was covered by photos of her family.
