Wishpered Promises Of LoVE

Tyler-Remizera!!

"And that was it! I would be glad if you all share your valuable opinions with me,"Azel finished her presentation…the whole hall room echoed with the clapping sounds. Everyone could not help getting impressed with her marvelous ideas.
    "Ms. Edward, I must say…you have come up with a brilliant idea,"as soon as the lights got restored the man from earlier who had an outbursted on Azel at first. "She is not given the title of a 'Fashion icon' for no reason, Mr. Morris. With her dedication and capability, she proved it yet again that she indeed deserves the title. And her being a bit late doesn't really make her unprofessional,"Rehan spoke up, smirking devilishly at the old man. Who in return could say nothing.
   "Mr. Tyler, it was no big deal. Even…."once again Marie intervened in between..making Rehan to shift his eyes at her. Rehan looked at this woman who had been sprouting all sorts of nonsense about his Wild cat since the very beginning. He had no idea regarding their personal problems…but he could tell that none of the girls' liked each other in person. And this Marie girl was crossing her limits every now and then by behaving extremely rude with her own colleague.   
   "Oh, is that so, Ms. Brooks? If it was not much of an appreciative matter for you…then I think you must have more exclusive ideas than Ms. Edward just presented here. Hence, kindly care to show us yours as well?"Rehan fixated his eyes upon Marie, giving her a sweet taste of her own kind of medicine. In no way, Rehan was letting her go without teaching her the right lesson…she should also know to not mess with Azel Edward ever!
    "That…that I…I don't have it with me currently. But I will…."
   "Sorry, Ms. Brooks…but none of us have our whole day to wait for your precious piece of presentation, you know? If you currently don't have any….then I think you should at least respect the hard work she has done on her part. And if you cannot do so, kindly see yourself out. I don't want to work with someone who cannot treat her colleagues with minimal respect,"this time Rehan insulted Marie straight forwardly. He really didn't care what others think about him…right at this point.
   "I hope you would not have any problem working with us without one of your subordinates, Mr. Remizera. You could pick up anyone at her place…I'm giving you the leverage of choosing anyone among yours or my company…just name anyone who would not be her. Because I don't work with such kind of rude people like her,"Rehan kept forward his condition of working further on the project quite loud and clear. He could take anything…but could never tolerate ill-treatment or injustice towards anybody. And here Azel was at question. How were he to keep quiet and be a mute spectator while someone else would mock the hard work of his love?
   Rehan didn't understand why this Zachary Remizera would differentiate in between his employees so much? He could at least berate Marie for her insolent behavior…but no, he was just looking at everything as if she were his boss and not the other way round!
    "Lu…umm…I mean, Mr. Tyler thank you so much for everything. I…I really appreciate your generosity. And I'm glad that you liked my presentation.
  About Ms. Brooks, actually she is as much an essential part of this project as anyone of us are. Hence her absence will affect the whole team. So, please don't mind her. She didn't mean things that way, right Marie?"the next moment, Azel butted in…not wanting to bring her personal affairs in the middle of her professional dreams. Indeed Marie was perfect in her own field and she was equally needed for a successful completion of this whole project.
    In no way, Azel wanted that to get disrupted. The success rate of this project will decide the fate of these companies in the near future. Many things were at stake at this point. Most importantly Rehan's company was one of the biggest share holders in this collaboration. Any slight mistake could take his whole company from the brim of success to the door of destruction in no minute. Azel could not let that happen….not at any cost. If not anyone but she knew how hard Rehan worked to built this company…to bring it to the point it was not now. This was not only an office, a company for him…rather it was like his second love…all the employees were his another family. He had many aspirations regarding 'Azan Inc'. Despite of knowing everything…how could she let any harm befall on this company then?
    No, she could not! And she would not at any cost as well!
   There Marie didn't say anything more…but her eyes kept on boring holes on Azel's face…as if wanting to burn down Azel alive. Marie was fuming in anger. She was unable to digest the fact that someone just insulted her in the mass meeting…in front of so many people…that too for whom? That Azel Edward! With each passing day, Marie's hatred for Azel was crossing all its boundaries. What magic that girl knew…that people would get enticed by her charms just after the first meeting itself! The Rehan Tyler who was known for his introverted nature towards women….he was even considered as a gay for his uninterested attitude towards the opposite gender…was taking a stand for Azel? Like seriously? This thought only was adding fuel to Marie's fire of anger.
    But her such kind of attitude was only making Rehan more agitated. His hands curled into fists…the nerve of this girl! Still glaring at his Wild cat? He felt like pulling out her eyeballs from her eye sockets. How could someone be this ungrateful? Azel was literally saving her from getting kicked out from this project…but look at that girl! Behaving like Azel was the one to hurl such sorts of nonsense at her…not she!
   "Exactly, Mr. Tyler..you cannot just take any decision regarding my juniors…all by yourself. Don't forget that I'm soon going to be your business partner, not any employee of your company. So, don't cross your limits by throwing orders at me like this…cause I ain't going to tolerate such kind of nonsense,"this time Zachary spoke up…instigating Rehan more. Zachary hated how he was ordered by someone else regarding his own employees! Rehan should also know that Zachary Remizera never learnt to take orders from others!
    While Rehan was just an inch away from grabbing Zachary's collar. That crackheaded man! He didn't take a stand for the right cause when he should have been the one to say all those things to Marie. Instead now he was throwing his attitude towards Rehan? "YOU?"Rehan lifted up his finger at Zachary…taking advances towards him. Today Rehan was not letting any of them go without making them understand the etiquettes and manners of a working place!
    But before Rehan could reach Zach, Azel came in between,"Mr. Tyler…please! This is your office not any wrestling arena,"she glared at him…trying to stop him before things messed up any further. Rehan immediately stopped, closing his eyes…he tried to calm himself down. He could not take any more steps…not after her such a kind of warning.
   "And Zach, please! We didn't come here to fight…not physically or verbally either. So can you please calm down?"The next moment, Azel turned her attention towards Zach. She swore if he would not have been her boss, then she would have scolded him as well!
   "Exactly, I think we all should take a little break. It will help all of us to calm down ourselves as well as the heated environment. Because ultimately that's important if we want to work together which all of us wish to do eagerly…I guess,"Fayza suggested to cool down the tense environment. Violence was not any solution for the whole scenario here…but the way things were proceeding it would have surely ended that way only.
   "Umm…yeah, yeah. I think that's a great idea. Why don't we have something to refresh ourselves before proceeding into further discussions?"Azel recommended further. She could not be more grateful towards Fayza for helping her out like this…while everyone else were having their own shares of fun. Liam got the gesture to play his own part,"Yeah, both Ms. Edward and Ms. Firdaus is right. We have a wonderful rooftop cafeteria in our office building. Why don't we go there? I'm sure all of you will like it,"Liam chirped…trying to ease the situation a bit.
   "Please after you, Mr. Black,"Abid joined Liam in helping to clear the mess. Liam gave an appreciative nod towards Abid which Abid returned with a small smile. After all, they were going to be colleagues soon enough…so this much they could do for one another at least, right? One by one everyone started leaving the conference hall following Liam and Abid.
   Azel looked towards Fayza whose eyes also fell on her. "Thank you for everything,"Azel mouthed her slowly making Fayza blink her eyes in assurance while she replied with a gesture of,"Mention not." Azel smiled warmly looking at Fayza, Fayza also could not stop herself from returning the gesture as her lips also curved upwards a little,"Take your time. We will be at the rooftop,"she whispered to Azel, while patting her back slowly. Azel understood very well that by 'Take your time' Fayza meant about Rehan…ahh! Was everything that evident? If that was the case, then did everyone notice it? Azel blushed even at her such thoughts.
  After Fayza, Zachary was the only outsider left, being the bone in the kebab. "Let's go, Az. What are you waiting for?"Zachary asked Azel, when he didn't see any probabilities of her going anytime soon. "She has her own legs…and she can go wherever she wants. So I think it's you who should see his way out, Mr. Remizera,"Rehan sneered at Zach. He already didn't like that guy from the moment he noticed that Zach was looking at his Wild cat with different emotions. And to add on top, there was their last encounter of just awhile ago which was a total disaster.
   "Sorry, but as she is a part of 'Fashionista' hence she is a part of me…my responsibility. And I ain't going to leave her alone with some stranger,"for Zach the feelings were somehow mutual as well. He didn't like Rehan…quite enough for the same reason. As if Rehan's blood was not boiling enough earlier than now, such a kind of declaration coming from someone else was enough to erupt lava in him. How dare he? He called Rehan's Wild cat as his? His?
   "Zach, I have something personal to talk about with Rehan. Please don't worry and go ahead…I will be joining you all shortly,"Azel immediately spoke up before Rehan could do so. Because she knew very well if Rehan was going to speak then it would not be in words…rather that would be by fists. Azel also didn't like the way Zachary was behaving suddenly. She could understand his concern…but was it not too much and too suddenly? She was a grown up girl and she knew how to take care of herself.
   "But Az…"
"Please Zach, I told you…I have something urgent to talk with him,"Azel once again requested Zachary to leave them alone. She knew Rehan was still quiet…only because of her. Out of impulse, he didn't want to do anything that would do no good except for creating only  trouble for her.
   "Okay, fine. But take care of yourself, okay? And come fast,"Zachary patted Azel's head and left the room but not before throwing a look at Rehan as if trying to intimidate him…that too standing on his premises. Rehan must admit that Zachary really had the guts.
   As soon as the door of the room closed, Azel wasted no time in jumping on his arms. "Don't try to butter me up by doing all these. I'm angry,"Rehan complained like a frustrated child…pouting his lips at her. "Hmm, that I know. Now tell me, what should I do to melt my baby's anger?"Azel rubbed her face on his chest…making him purr in satisfaction. He closed his eyes pulling her closer in his arms…if that was even possible. "I'm jealous,"without any riddle Rehan kept forward his feelings in front of her. That's how he always had been…straight forward. And this was one of the many reasons Azel loved him…so much.
   "Jealous? By whom?"Azel was a bit confused…not understanding why he would be jealous suddenly? "Who else? That Remizera guy! I didn't like him one bit, Wild cat. He is…he is such a clingy man,"at the last part Rehan whined just like a stubborn toddler making Azel laugh at his antics.
