Sweet Romance [COMPLETED]

Chapter 7

The confidence that this woman has is splendid. In these types of situations I have seen so many strong minded people crumble because of fear, confusion and nervousness but not her. She is handling all this like a champ and not crumbling down and God help me if I am fallingfor her all over again.

One thing that I love about her is that she takes her problems head on and never tries to run away from them. I am sure after this my respect for this woman will increase even more.

“So scandal after scandal. Never in my life had I thought my best friend would be getting into back to back scandals.” Damian, my best friend since school, laughed out loud and I groaned. “Seriously, just try on your suit and get the fuck out, if you are here to laugh at me.”

At that he sat up straight and finally looked at me seriously. “No but in all seriousness you didn’t even tell me about your relationship.” I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. “I just wanted to  find where all this led to with Raya and then tell you. Even my parents had no idea before the scandal broke out. They are furious right now.”
It would be an understatement to say that they are furious. They love Eraya and the fact that this news tarnished her reputation is the reason for their anger.

Suddenly he picked up the book that Eraya had forgotten to take with her and flipped through the pages. “You read these types of books?” He asked and I shook my head. “Nope, Raya forgot it here.” He nodded and smiled. “The cover page and name reminds me of someone I regret losing. That's why I am saying don’t lose Eraya, she is the one for you.” He said regret lacing his voice. 

His face was clearly showing his feelings and for the first time after almost eleven years I felt bad for him. “I have to admit you were an idiot to behave like an ass with Astha.” He nodded looking down at the book. “I am borrowing this book, tell Eraya about that.” I nodded my head and he finally left, leaving me alone to ponder about the next step of our plan.

When Eraya told me the entire plan I was shocked. She had planned everything thoroughly and had every piece set in their places for this plan to work. I have to admit I had underestimated her.

Finally the day came, and we all walked into the conference room. The room was packed with reporters and this meeting was going to be live.

I looked over to Eraya and she was smiling calmly going through the pages of some old folder. “Let’s start the conference as everyone is finally here.” The Person who was called to check the authenticity of the designs and to clarify the case announced and we all settled in our places. My eyes fell on Lucinda and she was triumphantly smiling as if she had already won. Shaking my head I finally looked back at Eraya. “Raya, are you sure this plan is  going to work?” She looked at me with that smirk which screamed trouble for the person receiving it. “Never been more sure.” Slowly as the time passed and Lucinda kept defending herself and accusing Eraya the atmosphere in the room was becoming gloomier.
