Billionaire's Miracle (The Wattys 2024)

29. Mistake

Asher's POV

She left me right after the kiss. The kiss was perfect, but it just happened. It was not on my plan for that day. I called her so that I can apologise but she never picked her phone that night.

' May be she is regretting the kiss. '

Morning I tried it again and she informed me that she will meet me after lunch. And here I am in my office with back to back meetings before the lunch break.

Soon it was 1pm. I heard a faint knock on my door. I asked the person to come in.

" Hi.. " she said. Her voice diverted my eyes away from my laptop.
" Hey.. come in .. Take a seat" I said closing my laptop.
" Uhmm.. I'm sorry that I'm bit early than the appointment time."
" Oh no worries.. So.. " I was finding it hard to start the conversation with her.
" So.. Sorry about yesterday. " She said
" Oh.. About that .. I'm sorry.. I shouldn't have done that. I agree that it was my mistake. I .. I .. I'm really sorry. " I said to her.

There was awkward silence between both of us. She was in her deep thoughts.
I cleared my throat to bring her back to present.

" Yeah .. Me too.. I'm sorry.. " She said looking at her hands on her lap.
" Erm.. Coffee? " I asked her to change the topic but she just said no to it.
" Actually I'm here to give you this. " She said while taking out an invitation from her bag.

' Great.. Fucking great ...I had One Perfect kiss with her.. And now she is getting married to someone else.. '

I looked at her in confusion
" Oh.. This is an invite for a Thanksgiving Dinner happening in Rich Estate. Mr Richard asked me to deliver it to you. And it's on coming Friday night." she said with a smile.

" Oh.. thank you.. What about you? " I asked her. My mind was screaming inside to ask her to be my date on the evening.

" What about me? " She asked with a smile.

' Ask her now Idiot.. ' My mind said once again.

" Erm.. Would You like to be .. " Before I could complete my sentence I heard another knock on my door.

" One second.. Come in.. " I said . Linda came in and said " Sir, Miss Campbell is here. "

I gave her a ' what the hell ' look. She looked at Ziva and then back to me.
" I think it's kinda important sir " she said with a worried look.
" Oh It better be. Send her in." I said to her. She gave me a nod.

" And I'll leave .. It's time for my next appointment. " Ziva said standing up.
" Oh.. But.. About the dinner ? " Before I could ask her again I saw Sophia coming inside.

" Am I interrupting something.. " she asked looking at us.
We again stayed silent. Now She was looking at Ziva.

"This is Ziva " I introduced her. She just shook her hands and said
" Sophia Campbell, and who are you again? "

" Hi. I'm Ziva Hastings, I'm the wedding planner for Madison's wedding. Came here to deliver the invites for the Thanksgiving Dinner "
" Yeah .. The wedding planner from Sydney..I heard Madison praising about you to Natasha "

" Soph.. Why are you here ? " I asked her.
" Yeah .. Can you come with me please. Dad wants to meet us. " She said looking disturbed.
" Ask him to get an appointment. I'm quite busy right now. And remind him that I'm not his servant"

' I hate that guy. Always ordering around people. And how on earth Can he expect me to meet him whenever he wish '

" Ash.. Please .. For this once .. Don't ask me any questions and accompany me. He came to know about our dates, he is quite pissed " She said with pleading eyes.

I looked at Ziva. She had a blank expression on her face. I couldn't read her.

" Soph.. You know that those things can't be called as " before I could complete it, Ziva intrupted me with a fake cough. I again looked at her.

" I'm sorry to interrupt but I really need to leave right now. Its getting late. Nice to meet you Ms Campbell. And Mr. Parker I'm sorry, As you said it was a mistake. "
She just left my cabin sinking me with my own thoughts.

' Was it really a mistake, Then why am I feeling it so right ? '
