A WEEK HAD PASSED. I WAS GETTING READY. THAT DAY I HAD A MEETING WITH THE RJ' S, MY BEST FRIEND, MARIA' S COMPANY AND VILLA, NICHOLAS' S COMPANY.
IT WAS TO BE HELD IN WHALES. NICHOLAS HAD ALREADY GONE BECAUSE HE SAID THAT HE HAD SOME WORK THERE. BY THE WAY I HAD A SURPRISE FOR EVERYONE. GUESS WHAT? AFTER THE DAY WHEN I LOOKED INTO HIS EYES, HE WENT BACK TO BEING ARROGANT.
HE IGNORED TALKING TO ME BY LOOKING INTO MY EYES. I WENT DOWN AND SAT IN MY CAR. I ARRIVED AT THE AIRPORT AND BOARDED MY PRIVATE HELICOPTER.
IN A FEWS HOURS I WAS IN THE BUILDING WHERE THE MEETING WAS TO BE HELD. I CHIT - CHATTED WITH MARIA. AFTER 10 MINUTES, I SAW A BLACK CAR. NICHOLAS CAME OUT OF IT.
HE WAS WEARING A WHITE SUIT. HIS COMBED HAIR GAVE HIM A SEXY LOOK. I WAS UNABLE TO TAKE MY EYES OF HIM. MARIA SAW ME. SHE HAD A PLAYFUL SMILE.
"HEY! LINDA, ARE YOU LISTENING?" MARIA SHOOK MY SHOULDERS.
"YES, YES. WHAT IS IT?" I SAID, ANNOYED.
"WELL, NOTHING MUCH."
"TELL ME."
"TILL TODAY I KNEW THAT ONLY WOMAN ARE HOT AND SEXY. PERHAPS, I WAS WRONG."
I KNEW WHAT SHE MEANT. I FROWNED. NICHOLAS APPROACHED US. AS ALWAYS, HE DIDN' T PAY ANY ATTENTION TO ME.
HE TOOK MARIA' S HAND AND KISSED IT. FOR A MINUTE, I FELT AS IF MY BLOOD FLOW HAD STOPPED. WITHOUT TURNING TOWARDS ME, HE LEFT. MARIA LOOKED AT ME WITH PITY.
"I' M SORRY, LINDA. YOU REALLY DON' T DESERVE TO BE LEFT OUT LIKE THAT."
I HUGGED HER. THAT DAY I FELT AS IF I HAD SOMEONE TO CARE FOR ME. SHE HUGGED ME BACK. WE WALKED TO THE ROOM WERE THE MEETING WAS ABOUT TO BEGIN.
WE BOTH TOOK OUR SEATS. UNFORTUNATELY, MY SEAT WAS JUST TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF NICHOLAS.
I KNEW WHOSE MISHCHIEF IT WAS. I GLARED AT MARIA. "COME ON, LINDA. I WANT HIM TO NOTICE YOU. HE CAN' T COMPLETELY AVOID LOOKING TOWARDS YOUR DIRECTION." I SIGHED.
MARIA WAS RIGHT.
HE KEPT LOOKING AT ME. MARIA GAVE ME A SOFT PINCH. IT WAS THEN THAT I NOTICED THAT HE WAS LOOKING AT ME. SUDDENLY, MARIA CALLED TO NICHOLAS.
"MR. NICHOLAS................." HE DIDN' T RESPOND. HOW WOULD HE? HE WAS LOST IN ME. MARIA RAISED HER VOICE.
MR. NICHOLAS, MR. NICHOLAS.......................................................... MR. NICHOLAS, DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID. NICHOLAS LOOKED AT MARIA. HE WAS EMBARRASSED. HIS FACE CONVEYED IT.
"YES, MS. MARIA. YOU WERE, UMM............ TALKING ABOUT HOW TO IMPROVE OUR BUSINESSES."
I COULDN' T BELIEVE MY EARS. WAS HE LISTENING TO HER OR LOOKING AT ME?
"HOW DO YOU KNOW? YOU WEREN' T PAYING ATTENTION TO HER. SHE EVEN CALLED YOUR NAME." I ASKED.
"MAYBE, I WAS NOT LOOKING AT HER BUT I COULD HEAR HER VOICE. I' M NOT DEAF." HIS WORDS STRUCK ME LIKE FIRE. I HOPED HIM TO GIVE A SOFT REPLY.
BUT, PERHAPS, HIS ARROGANT NATURE FORBADE HIM TO DO SO.
WE CONTINUED WITH THE MEETING.
HE FREQUENTLY GLANCED AT ME BUT I IGNORED HIM.
