The other Gentlemen Mr. Eric Johnson was talking to
Nathan and I were listening.
I can't understand why he is repeating the same thing.
We have already said no to them for this work.
After he finishes, he looks toward me and so does Nathan.
Ok so now I have to speak, having no choice I clear my throat I don't know why it got dry.
"Well, Mr. Johnson, we appreciate your offer but I don't like to beat around the bush so let me come straight to the point. You have been trying to get my appointment for the past few months for the same thing we discussed. If I am not wrong, we have already informed you that we would like to work on our creativity rather than correcting others' work.
Moreover, as per my knowledge, if you have a full-proof security system then what is the need to upgrade the system?" I asked while taking a hand rest on my table.
"How come you know we have a full-proof secure system?" The first time Mr. Hudson spoke in his husky voice.
Does he have this beautiful voice all this while? Why can't I remember this? Oh again 5 years, people forget the faces in 5 years I am just forgetting the voice. I laugh internally at my thoughts.
Well as I know they all waiting for my response so I composed myself and look towards him and spoke,
"First I have my ways, second you know where you are sitting and for a company like us it is not difficult to get the information about any other company moreover, I like to do my homework properly SIR." I empathize with SIR with no emotion on my face.
'Well, I was the one who secured your system dear Mr. Hudson.' Oh, how I do want to say this on his face. But well, I don't want to disclose anything to him.
"Well, our system has been tampered once and it might get again in the future so we don't want to take a risk, hence we want the best security system possible Miss Sarah Rose". Mr. Johnson finishes this while smiling.
"Well then you have to change the whole system and we will create the whole new software for your company. Would it be ok with you Mr. Johnson"? I ask, looking at him.
He looked toward Mr. Hudson and looked back towards me and spoke, "Well that won't be any problem with us mam".
I looked at Nathan and he was looking pleased to be working with such a big company and I rolled my eyes internally.
I looked back and said, "ok then we shall get back to you with details soon".
He smiled politely and said, "we will be waiting for Miss Sarah Rose."
"By the way, do you mind me asking something?"
"No not, please go ahead."
"Why Sarah Rose I mean I guess Rose must be your middle name."
"Well, Rose is my Granny's name and I like to use her name with me." I reply politely
"Why are you not using your surname?" He shot one more question.
"I want to make my name. I want people to know me by Sarah, hence I don't want to use any other identity." I know someone is noticing my every answer. But well, I am not lying.
"Oh, that's a wonderful thought. Still would like to know your surname Miss or Mrs if you don't mind telling me."
He looked at my finger "As I can see the ring on your finger and sadly that broke my heart of not meeting you earlier than this. He tried to flirt with me.
"No, not all its Hudson, Sarah Rose Hudson as far as I remember." I try to make a joke.
"And sorry to break your heart but yes so far I am married because I have not received the divorce paper as yet but as soon as I will get in the future, I know where to find you". I again said with a small smile.
Mr. Johnson laughed and said "absolutely but I like this ring in your hand so let's wish that day never comes".
I looked at my hand "yes it's indeed beautiful" it has many memories and the reason how I am today. I again lost in my past looking at the ring.
"Oh my-my, it seems there is a deep love story behind this ring." He tries to joke again
"Well, I don't know about love but the story definitely is." I said with a smug smile.
Well, you know what my dear friend" pointing towards Mr. Hudson'' shares the same surname as you, Hope you both are not related to each other" he laughs at his joke.
"If meeting a person once in your life made you his/her relative then I might be, or else I don't remember I am related to anyone in this room." I spoke keeping a straight face with no emotion.
Why suddenly this all is hurting me. Let's not run away from the reality Sarah, he is only related on papers and nothing else.
No string attached.
"Ok then it was lovely meeting you guys, we shall now take your leave." Mr. Johnson spoke while getting up from his seat.
We nod and got up,
Mr. Sean Hudson came toward me after shaking hands with Nathan but his eyes never left mine and my heartbeat raised.
Why the hell is he looking at me like this? As far as I remember I don't have anything of his even though I have to return his card also without using it. Now, what does he wants?
"Mrs. Hudson" nods towards me, giving his hand to shake.
"Sarah is fine," I shake my hand. I could feel his hot palm on my cold one and he pressed a little. God, what is this tingling on my stomach?
I saw from the corner of my eyes everyone started leaving the room.
He came too close to my liking and spoke or let's whisper in my ear "No I LIKE MRS HUDSON" saying he kissed my neck and I felt his one hand was holding my waist and another touch my necklace. This closeness was making me dizzy and my body shivers to his touch which I am sure he must have felt too.
And spoke again "Happy Birthday Darling" Saying, he kissed my cheek.
I stood there like a statue.
"See you soon baby." He spoke and left while leaving me alone wondering what just had happened?
