BEWITCHED

Chapter 26th

"What are you thinking?"

I put the fruits in the table and moved around to sit next to him.
He had been in his world since the morning. Even when he returned from office he looked exhausted.

"You know, you can share. I'm here."

My hands reached his and I squeeze it, giving him a little comfort.
He turned fully to face me as I clearly saw the wrinkles on his forhead.

I didn't even knew about the farmhouse he and Athrav had been talking the other day. And since then he had been way too busy.
A long sign left his mouth and he pulled me up to his lap, nuzzling his head in the crook of my neck he tighten his hands around my waist.

"I'm tired."

I knew he was, he looked like he had been carrying weights on his shoulder. And not to forgot his continuous sighs.

"What is it about?"

I asked softly to not to force him.
He sighed again before replying.

"Grandpa... he wants me to be the chairman. "

My eyeswent wide as I tried to absorb the information I just got.
Chairman....

"Why? Is he okay?"

"You didn't even congratulate me...."

He tried to voice it out with a poutbut failed slightly.
I took his face in my hands and narrowed my eyes pressing his cheeks.

"Oww, he is good.
He want to enjoy his life as he said to me."

I nooded thanking God that he was well.

"Then why are you sighing."

"... it will create quite a havoc. And then there's Mr. Ahuja... he will be problematic himself.
Media will create weird news... there will be a lot to handel."

"Oh..."

I just nooded not knowing what to say.
He was right the media will create havoc with wrong news. And then Mr. Ahuja, he will definitely object for him being the chairman.
I didn't knew much about companies and how they worked, but I did knew that to achieve any big position there would be a meeting... a board meeting.

As much as I knew about the company, it was intentional so there would be a lot of member, that means a lot of opinions.

"Leave that, you say... you have your first meeting tomorrow. "

He put a apple in mouth followed by his.

"Hmm, I'm just worried that I will might get nervous."

"I'll be there with you and I know you will shine."

My smile reached my eyes as I stared at him with adoration and love.

"Let's sleep."

I squealed when I felt myself being lifted by him.
He carried me all the way to the bedroom and gently put me on the duvet.

He lowered his head and stared deep into my eyes. I closed my eyes and pouted my lips, waiting for his lips to crash upon mine.
After a minute or two I felt rustle beside me. My eyes flew open, I turned myself to look and here he was climbing up in the duvet without any care.

This man... I swear

Feeling my stare he looked at me and tilted his head like he was the most innocent man in the world.
My eyesbrows reached my hairs and the blush got worse as I felt my cheeks and ears burning up.

When I tried to move to the other side his two muscled arms pulled me towards him and I layer flat upon his chest.

"Sleep precious, or I won't be controlling myself."
