KNOCK ON MY HEART ❤️(on-hold)

CHAPTER-18

When I knew Zaha would be there, the next moment I was ready to go to my father's office. We would have handled it by ourselves but at the last minute we were desperately in need of a translator, so I gave my idea that Ingrid could find someone in her university. I already know that Zaha can speak Hindi so I just hoped that it must be her. Everything is going according to my plan. After completing the meeting with our Indian clients, I will talk to her. 

Me and Jacob reached my father's office together. I thought girls would take some time to reach here as they might have classes. When I opened the door of my father's office, I just forgot to breathe or what am I even doing here. 

There she sat with my sister, looking like a goddess in that long dress. She looked at me for a couple of minutes and averted her eyes. I want her eyes only on me. 

"What happened to my firecracker? She is quiet after seeing us? Are we that bad?" How can he initiate a conversation with her so easily.Both looked puzzled. But I know whom he is referring to. 

"Zaha. She didn't say a word about you. So I don't know who you are and have to get this Drunkhead safely in their mansion or else that devil standing there would have hunted me down." She giggled cutely. 

"No worries. I am not angry with you" , she said glaring at me in the last part. 

She is talking with him so casually as if she knew him before. I kept stealing glances at her. After sometime father enters. 

He looked tense, and she went near him. "Uncle Ben, why are you working so much?" She knelt down before him. 

"I really want this project. We three really work hard for this one." An important one in our empire. It is a privileged one so he is working this much and we are helping him. It's like it was his dream project. 

"You are going to crack this deal. After that you are going on vacation with your girlfriend." She said winking at him. Girlfriend? I choked on my drink. 

"I know you are naughty old man," Jacob said, smirking. 

"Are we missing anything?" Ingrid asked her. 

"I totally forgot to share it with you. Once I came to have dinner with you right? I was just waiting for you to come down. At that time, I saw Uncle Ben. Actually I don't know he is your father and I asked to take a seat till aunty or you showed up. I asked him if he came to meet his friend. But he said he is here for his girlfriend. And aunty came out of the kitchen and he went near her and kissed her. Then aunty introduced him properly to me." I know my father is funny one also a devil in the business. 

I found Zaha looking at me murderously. I was staring at her. Unknown to him she realised that he was the one who yelled at her on the phone. 

She totally changed the atmosphere from tense to cool one. Soon it was time to go for a meeting. She went out first and Ingrid said she was going to stay in the cabin. 

I entered the conference room. Some board members and Harry, Jacob, dad, me and Zaha Will be attending the meeting. Dad introduced her. Everyone didn't show any interest but they kept quiet because if they talked about it they would face us first. 

She took her seat, she was sitting between me and dad. She is playing with her fingers, I think she is nervous after seeing their reaction. I want to assure her. 

Meeting started, she gasped looking at the screen. She held my left hand in her both hands and whispered "why didn't you tell me this before? It is the Finance Minister of India, is this a government project? Jacob, open your mouth and say something!" She shook my hands a little.
