Relations, they're are the most important part of our life. We are all surrounded by relations from the time we're born. We have parents, relative's and friends.
Friends are those strangers which were meant to met at some...
"How can you be just fine with your husband loving someone else and not you?", I asked with annoyance in my voice and she passed me a knowing smile.
"That's something personal, I don't think I would be comfortable sharing with you", Eva said.
"But, I...", I paused and thought that she's partly right though. I can't force her to tell me about her personal life. We're strangers in fact.
"Fine, I understand but I just can't take this thing out of my head", I said with a sigh.

Why am I so affected by her life? Get a grip on yourself Noah, I said to myself.
She looked at her hands on her lap and said, "Eric and I are childhood friends. Our family married us for a stupid business deal, but Eric wanted to marry Sarah. His dad forced him to marry me or else he'll be thrown out of his will, so we married and shifted to London", I glanced at her but she kept her gaze down.
"We've filed a divorce now and soon we'll be no longer husband and wife and he'll marry Sarah", she said and then looked at me. I still felt that she's hiding a lot of things from me but I didn't dig much.
"Are you okay with this?", I asked and she gave me a smile which was not even reaching her eyes.
"I've to go now, Mr Orchid", she said and I just nodded.
After Eva left, I kept thinking about her only. How is she handling this? She seems always so cheerful and happy, then does it mean that she doesn't care about her marriage But if she doesn't give a damn about Eric then why her eyes were sad?
God, what's wrong with me? She is just an assistant of mine, that's it. Whatever she does in her life is her problem, not mine. Why the hell is she bothering me so much?
******************
It had been two days and Eva had been quieter in these past two days. She just came into my cabin, do her job and then left. That unusual chatterbox she used to seem like a dream to me.
Today, I called her in my cabin. She came inside and stand in front of me with a notepad.
"You called me sir?", She asked and I nodded.
"Yes, you've to go today to meet Kyle Stephan's. I've told the driver to take you to his office. So, you just go now and meet him and whatever he ask or say, just note it down. And, do take my schedule list also", I said and she just nodded.
I gave a nod asking her to dismiss but when she didn't leave the room, I glanced up from my laptop and arched my eyebrows at her.
"Do you want to say anything?", I asked and she nodded.
