Eavesdropping

Viaan's POV:-"Yeah, okay, I'll keep that in mind, Ryan." I heard Kiara speaking to Ryan in a hushed tone and my legs stopped involuntarily right at the threshold. My brows knitted down instantly even before I realised. I didn't want to eavesdrop on her conversation but the mention of Ryan in there had me puzzled.They are on a call? Didn't I just tell him that I'll call if I need something? Then how come they are talking right now? A series of questions instantly wrapped my head around it and I couldn't help but feel something weird in my heart. Already the image, of Ryan holding Kiara like that, from last evening had made me have an unsettling feeling in my guts. The protectiveness Ryan had in his body language was still messing up my mind. I don't know why I am behaving like a possessive bastard around Kia ever since we took our relationship to the next level. Take last evening's incident as an example: Ryan accompanying Kiara here was pretty normal. Then why the hell did I see

What was the urgency?

Mr. Miller's Restaurant:-"Viaan, my boy!" He pushed his chair and greeted me with a warm hug, as usual. "My apologies for keeping you waiting, Sir!" I said when we broke the hug. "No big deal, young man. Besides, I came a bit early. You are exactly on time!" He said.Neil shook hands with him and so I did with Richard, his assistant."Fancy to meet you again, Mr. Adams!" His lips curved into a bright smile as we greeted each other."Same here, Richard!" I said, patting his hand."Come, let's have a seat!" We heard Mr. Miller interrupt us.I turned to him, nodding my head. We sat down in our respective seats.After some moments passed, Mr. Miller initiated the conversation."So, young man, tell me how is life going on?" He looked at me with a certain kind of gleam."Apart from the hectic business meetings, great!" I replied politely. "And I hope you and Mrs. Miller are doing good, too!" Mr. Miller laughed gently and shook his head. "Yes, with Sally, life seems good, even at this ag

A proposal?

"So, what was the urgency you mentioned on the call, Sir?" Keeping my tone professional I asked. I had enough of beating around the bush and had given him enough time to reveal the matter to me. But, as we can all I am getting since the moment I stepped here is some strange as hell special treatment for no fucking reason. And I'm not a very patient man in the matter of business and profession.Mr. Miller has stopped eating immediately. His fingers stilled, holding the fork as it is a few inches above the plate, as he raised his head to look at me. I can see confusion in his eyes before he realized what I was talking about and then the confusion was replaced with a kind of amazement as if I said something that was unheard. It was surprisingly unexpected to me considering I repeated his words from the call only.There was an uncertainty swirling in his old eyes as he opened his mouth and sighed audibly. "I'm sorry that I confused you with my words, Viaan. It was not urgent but importan

Lucrative offer

Viaan's POV:-"I'm proposing my niece, Evelyn's, marriage with you!" Miller Miller revealed, emphasizing the word marriage. The early restlessness on his face vanished as he breathed deeply the next moment. This was all the build-up he was doing since then? To propose marriage to Miss Evelyn? I sat stunned. My eyes, I'm sure, widened like saucers and my jaw almost dropped to the floor. I felt my mind going into a state of sudden numbness as I kept staring at his face; too dumbfounded to respond yet.Seconds must have ticked by as I felt a hand on my wrist, shaking it lightly."Viaan?" Mr. Miller called me, concerned. "You hear what I said? Why are you so quiet?" He asked, squeezing my palm.My eyes traveled to my hands and then back at him. The state of numbness was replaced with waves of thoughts. My mind dived deeper into obvious questions. So, this is why he arranged all these delicacies and special treatment for me out of the blue! And that's why he was behaving so strangely e

Rude?

Writer's POV:-Mr. Miller's restaurant:-"You think this lucrative offer can make me reconsider my decision?" I asked smugly, keeping the paper down."Absolutely! It is an undeniable offer, after all!" Claimed Mr. Miller, frowning deeply.I let out a dry, mocking chuckle before pushing the paper back at him. "Trust me it is not even one percent of what could make me change my mind." I sat leaning in the chair, giving him a confident look. His mouth hung open wide, as I'm sure he didn't expect that answer from me.If he thinks he can make me reconsider my words by offering half of his business along with the infinite luxury he wrote in this paper, then this old man has no connoisseur's eyes for real qualities."Did you read it carefully?" Mr. Miller stared at me, then at the paper, and drew his eye back at my face, asking calmly.Though I can't read his expressionless face this time, I'm sure he is pissed off with the way I questioned his offer. I knew he was going to ask this questi

To Rectify

Hunter's POV:-"I am free when you are free!" I flirted like the old times, catching her off guard. "What?" Her jaws dropped upon hearing me."You heard me, pretty lady!" I winked at her, just like I always used to do to make her giggle in the past days."Pretty lady…" she whispered and her eyes widened in a fraction of a second as the realization dawned upon her. It was the situation like a light bulb lit over her head, the way she was looking at me.She finally understood my behavior; that I was not talking to her as her boss right now but as her friend who used to make her laugh and blush with my jokes. And to tell you the truth, I enjoyed the speechless expression etched on her face. "You really called me that?" She asked, in disbelief."Yes, pretty lady, I really call you that!" I chuckled, shaking my head. She gasped in response.I couldn't help but admire her face secretly. How cute she looks with her eyes widened like a deer staring at something new and exciting, even when

I Would Never Force You

Viaan's POV:-"With due respect, I don't mean to be rude to you, Sir. But you and perhaps Miss Evelyn, too, need to understand that this union is not possible. No matter how much you try to convince me, my answer would remain the same. I can never think of Miss Evelyn as anything other than a business associate." I cleared my point politely as he thought I'm being rude to him.He stayed silent for a moment before revealing something."Viaan, now that you already mentioned her, I would not lie to you. I already knew you would not accept this offer, but because of Evelyn's request, I had to offer you something that I, too, would never want you to accept." His tone was dead serious as he said that, making my brows shot up in surprise. “What?” that came out louder than I expected. "You don't want me to accept your offer?" "Yes, you heard correctly. I don't want you to accept my offer." He confirmed, nodding affirmatively. He sat there, unfazed, as if he said the easiest words ever. But

Proud of you

"I noticed how you didn't appreciate her advances. And that's why I promised myself that although, because of my love for Evelyn, I have to put this forward, I would never force you into this commitment. No matter how much she requests!” he took a deep breath, finishing his words. I stared at him silently for a few good minutes. Soon all his words started making sense in my mind. A wave of relief and annoyance washed off me altogether.Relief for the fact that he had thankfully observed my disinterest in his niece, and made up his mind beforehand to not force me into this. But the annoyance was for the reality that despite knowing this he was still trying to convince me.Taking a sharp breath, I let my annoyance take over. "If that was the case then why did you put on this extravagant show?" I asked, pointing to the delicacies on the table. "Is this also a bribe to me?" My words sounded mocking, even though I didn't wish it to.His eyes widened in a second and he shook his head fever

I Didn't Have Enough Money

Kiara's POV:-I was preparing an Excel sheet of the expenses estimated for the new equipment we were purchasing for the project. Hunter had decided to visit the factory today only, thus I was working fastly as I had to report it to him before three PM. With my eyes focused on the screen and my fingers working diligently on the keyboard, I heard my phone vibrating on the desk. I ignored the disturbance as I was feeding the numbers in the system, but when it kept vibrating for a longer time; I had to break my concentration and shift my gaze to the phone screen.Pissed off at the caller for disturbing me in the middle of my work, I picked up my phone, only to read Viaan's name flashing on the screen.Responsively, my scowl turned into a smile and I didn't know where the annoyance flew away. "Hello!" I picked up the call, chirping.Okay, how come this sudden change in tone? I wonder what effect this man has on me!"Had your lunch?" Ignoring my greeting, he asked grumpily.Oops! Seems l

The Advanced Laboratory

GRACE:-Kiara’s POV:-"I don't even have enough money to hire more than five staff!" His revelation had my eyebrows shot up to the ceiling. "What? Really?" I wondered, astonished at the information.Hunter Brown saying he doesn't have money was like believing a gold mine doesn't have gold.Too bad an analogy? I know! But that was so unbelievable to me that I couldn't think of any other example. Heck, I couldn't even think of anything else at all. Hunter probably was expecting this reaction from me as he sat unfazed at my remark and waited patiently for a second before his calm response came."Yes, you heard right! At that certain point in time, I didn't have enough money to hire an entire team and then start a company with all the resources." He averted his gaze, which was gloomy suddenly, and exhaled a deep breath. "So, the only thing I could do then was hire a man whom I can trust with everything in the company." When his eyes met mine again, I saw how he was trying to hide man
