BLACK ORCHID

His Sugar

Opening her eyes, she saw his muscular sleeping figure. Hugging her tiny waist sleeping peacefully. She strokes his cheeks softly with a grin on her face.

She can feel her rising heartbeats which she always feels whenever he is close to her. She felt enthusiasm when she touched him, for a few seconds. She totally forgets what he did to her yesterday.

Her smile disappeared when her mind suddenly thought of his yesterday's words. She sighs deeply. She's still mad at him. However, deep inside she wants to accept his apologies.

"I feel vulnerable around you. Why are you doing this to me?" She mumbles to herself.

While she was showering, he woke up when he felt sunlight hitting him. He groans and flips one eye open. He patted the side of his bed, hoping to feel her. He couldn't feel her presence. He opened his eyes and roamed his gaze in every corner of the room to see her. He stopped when he heard water flowing.

"OH... guess she is in the shower." He said to himself.

He stood up and left her room.

While he was in the corridor, his secretary came and bowed in front of him.

"Good morning, Boss. You have an important meeting with the Oberoi empire. For the new project. The meeting will be held at 9:30 am. And you had an appointment with Mr. Oberoi at 6 pm."

"Hmm..." he hummed.

"No sir." She bowed and left.

He rushes to his room to get ready. He can't miss the meeting. The meeting is for their future alliance and also for the doubts inside him that he needs to clear out. And only Mr. Oberoi can clear it out.

Both companies hold a very important role for each other. It's like, if he stops tying up with the Oberois, his position could be in danger, and if Oberoi cuts the ties their company will be at loss. Both empires need each other even if they hate someone from their family. That strong history they held together.

After 30 mins, of fixing his tie, he went downstairs. He raised his gaze around the living room, but couldn't find the one he wanted to see.

He sighs. He knows she will take time for the showers as always. He called out a maid, ordering her to inform him that he had left.

"Tell her to eat breakfast and if I arrive late tonight, then tell her not to wait for me. I have an important meeting." He said and left.

His driver bowed and opened the gate for him. He got inside and opened his laptop to see all the necessary information. And he drove to his company.

Inhaling the fresh scent of flowers, she closed her eyes and relaxed in the bathtub. While humming a song, a thought crossed her mind. She opened her eyes and blushed. The growing feeling inside her is driving her crazy. She never thought that she would fall in love with him. She harks back to the days when they spent time together. The way he treated her, made her blush more.

Fighting with her inner thoughts. Finally, she accepted her feelings for him and decided to confess them. It was her first love, after all. She can't hide her feelings anymore. She got up from the bathtub, wrapped the bathrobe, and headed towards her closet to wear something comfy. After wearing a plus-size t-shirt and shorts. She looked around her closet to find something revealing, something that she could wear in the evening to confess her feelings.

"WOW... this will be perfect." She said, holding the dress in both hands.

Red sleeveless silk gown. She smiled brightly, seeing the dress. Arranging the accessories that she would wear, she made her way out of her room. She settles herself at the huge dining table. Maids came and served her breakfast.
