Affection & Love

chapter 11

Liam's P.O.V:

I returned from the club and went straight to bed. I thought of meeting her the next day but, decided against it. She might be hungover and you can't predict what to expect from such people.

On Sunday, I called Ethan to find her address from her assistant. Instead, he sent her number to ask her myself. I called her but, she wasn't answering. Just as I was losing hope, she answered.

"Hello." She said from the other side

"Hi. Am I speaking to miss Ruby?" I asked to confirm.

"Yes. And who's this?" She asked.

"This is Liam Smith from Smiths Industries." I answered.

"Good morning, Mr.Smith. What a surprise! I wasn't expecting your call, especially, not on a Sunday morning." She really sounded surprised.

"Yeah, sorry for calling this early but, I need your help."

"How can I help you, Mr.Smith?" She asked.

"Can I get Ms.Singh's address?" She paused for a few seconds after listening to my request.

"May I know which Singh's address are you asking and what for?" She asked suspiciously.

"Your boss?" It was more of a question than a statement.

"All the sisters are kind of bosses for me. You need to be a bit more specific, Mr.Smith." she said.

I sighed. I felt like she's kind of teasing me. "Sam's address." I said.

"May I know the reason?" She asked.

"I need to meet her and speak with her." I said vaguely. She got silent for a few seconds.

"I need to take a call, Mr.Smith. I'll get back to you in a bit." She said hanging up. I waited for a while, debating whether I should call her again or not. I decided against calling her. I thought she wouldn't call back but, she did and also agreed to give me the address.

I showered, got dressed, had breakfast and left home. I drove to her house within 20 minutes. It's a modern two-storey building. It was 10 AM when I reached. I got out of my car and went to her door. I rang the doorbell and waited. The door was opened and it wasn't Sam who I saw.

"How can I help you?" She asked me.

"I'm here to meet Ms.Singh." I said.

"Ms.Singh?" She looked confused. I forgot there are two people with the same last name.

"Sam." I said.

"Ohh. You must be Mr.Smith." she said. How did she know?

"Yes. I'm Liam Smith. How did you know that?" I asked her.

"Sam told me about you." She said smiling.

"She did?" I was confused. We never met and she talked about me with her.

"Yes. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Aditi Singh, Sam's sister." She said stretching her hand. I remember Ethan telling me about her. She's also the COO of their company.

"Nice to meet you, Ms.Singh." I shook her hand.

"Please come inside. She's waiting for you." She said stepping aside. what?

I did not question further as she shouted, "Sam! I'm leaving. Mr.Smith is here for you."

"You can go inside. She's in the kitchen which will be to your left." She said glancing at her watch.

"Thank you." I said.

"I need to go. Good luck." With that, she left. I took a deep breath. I'm here and there's no turning back. This can go only in two ways ; either she accepts my request or rejects it.
