All Chapters of Mira’s Return : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

“Come on girl, I almost couldn’t recognize you, you look stunning “. I giggled and hugged Tracy. We were catching up when Rubby intentions bumped into me and spilled her drink on my dress. “Oops, maybe if you had stayed away from my husband I would have noticed you”. She was still silly and succy. Tracy held my hand like she was holding me back. I looked at Rubby in the eye fiercely and it seemed like it scared her. “The next time you will miss your steps again, I will make sure you fall down complete “. I leaned off her ears and spilled my drink on her. “Oops, how does that feel?”, I laughed. She was mad and it seemed like she was about to explode but I didn’t mind. If Bombay had thought me anything, it was to always stand up for myself the first time. She walked out angrily and Tracy handed me a towel. I dried up the drink on my dress but it was already ruinied. Tracy and I got to the rest room and tried to reduce the appearance of the stain. “I a

My legs almost failed me. I staggered back and cleared my throat. Gerald was sitting on the couch with his legs crossed. I froze. “Have you become the boss of yourself?”. The sarcasm in his voice was very obvious. “I am…. I am sorry sir”, I apologized without thinking. Gerald laughed and got up from his seat. “This isn’t your day off. You stayed out of the company to fix your nails? That’s a very silly thing to do”, he scolded. I hid my nails behind my back immediately, he mentioned. It didn’t occur to me that I had to be at work. I got too carried away cuddling with Harry and going shopping with him. “I am sorry sir, I didn’t mean to”. Gerald walked closer and I felt his hot breath on my skin. For some reason it gave me goosebumps which he noticed. He touched my goosebumped skin softly and it was the first time I ever felt his soft touch. It made me flick. “You are so funny Kaira. First you act so powerful and then you are getting scared in your own

Gerald’s spoon fell off his hand. He cleared his throat and it was such a delight to see him uneasy. “Are you joking?”, he asked with so much uncertainty in his voice. “Yes! Is it wrong to have you in my thoughts?”, I asked, filling my mouth with ice cream and deliberately trying to flirt with him. “Good thoughts?”, he asked, picking another spoon from the tray in front of us. His interest sparked my hopes. I loved it. “Yes. When I choose to spend the weekend with my boss, are we going to have ice cream all day?”, I asked. Gerald looked away, smiling. “You are such a handful, I always thought you were timid and what not”. I laughed because he was right. I was timid but not anymore. “I always thought you to be a cold and a grumpy man”. I played with the collar of his shirt. Gerald dropped his cup and held my hand on his collar. It was cold and soft. He took it off and stared at my nails. “In my favorite colors. Seems like we might have a lot in common”. He sai

__FLASHBACK__ “Hey baby”, Luke tickled Rubby wearing a bright smile as he handed her a box of chocolates and flowers. “They are your favorites”, he kissed her cheeks softly. Rubby inhaled the flowers and gave him a hug. “Thank you baby. You came for my photo session”, she said, almost like a whisper. The camera crew took a break to allow the lovebirds some time. Rubby signaled for a crew member and handed her jacket and flowers to her. “You look stunning, baby. I almost couldn’t recognize you. I had to blink twice”, Luke Exaggerated his compliments as he looked at her tenderly. Rubby blushed and snuggled tightly in his arms. “You need to get out of this outfit. You have two more outfits to model right?”. Rubby paid no attention to his words as she held him tightly, sniffing his clothes and partially rubbing her makeup on him. “Come on Princess, I need to make it back to work soon”, Luke added. Rubby pouted and faked a frown as she leaned away from him. “Will you pick me

It took almost ten minutes to complete my order. We had no choice but to try out something new. I freshened up and sorted my luggage. I arranged my files and brought out my notepad. It was time to fix Gerald’s schedule. His meeting was scheduled for 10am every day to end at 2pm. This meant that we had many free hours before bedtime. The ding rang and I knew our meal was ready. Before I got to the door, Gerald was there. He rolled the tray in and settled in the dining room. He looked at me and hissed playfully. At first sight, he looked pleased. It was a tray of different meals I wasn’t familiar with. The only familiar food was the grilled lamb. “Can you eat this?” I voiced my fear. Gerald nodded and took a bite. It quickly crossed my mind that he was a frequent traveler in Dubai. “Are you scared?”, he laughed softly. “Try it, it isn’t that bad”. I swallowed the food like it was dried sand but it tasted nice. I didn’t know what it was but I loved how it tasted.
