Her Presence

Steffan's POV

I saw her leaving and I sighed. She is a stubborn girl. I don't want to involve her in these kind of business deal. She will do whatever she wants. But if something happens and they couldn't pay back it will harm her reputation.

" What are you thinking, Steffan?" I saw Danielle entering my cabin along with Camilla and she asked from there.

Danielle is one of my seniors in college. Her husband is my close friend. He has his own business too but Danielle is comfortable working here, she continued working even after her marriage and Camilla is her cousin. She is my classmate like Veronica. But she is completely opposite from her. She is very quiet and hard-working woman. She never bothers to pay heed to anything but her works in office. Never I saw her wasting her time. She never tried to attract people to her, though people are dying to have her attention.

And can you believe that once Camilla and Veronica were best friends!!! I don't know what happened between them, but they now have a cold war with each other. Once they could die for each other and now they don't even want to see each other's faces intentionally. I didn't ask anyone of them. It's maybe their personal issues. Let it be hidden.

" I was thinking about that deal." I said and leaned back to my chair closing eyes as they took seat in front of me.

" What's wrong? " Danielle asked.

" You know, Eleanor became guarantee in the deal. She will pay the compensatory if they failed to pay back in time." I said.

" What!? Why?" Danielle said and looked at Camilla.

" I don't know what get into her." I said.

" Well, don't worry, they won't be failed. They will earn huge success as always. You don't need to be worried at all." Camilla said.

" I know still we can't predict." I said.

" You don't worry. She is a Billionaire herself and she is the princess of Ethan Stewart. She can pay back even 10 times more than this deal." Danielle said.

" That's what I don't want to do." I said.

" What?" Danielle asked.

" Involve her family. You know her family has a good relation with mine. I don't want to involve Ethan Stewart in this cause he is very close friend of my dad, same for me and Edwin. I don't want this turn into a mess." I said.

" Don't worry, nothing will happen like this." Camilla said.

" Yeah, hope so." I said. " Why suddenly you both are here together? " I asked.

" I umm.... I wanted to ask you something if you don't mind, you know? " Danielle said.

" Go ahead. I am listening. " I said.

" Are you..... Ummm.... " she said but stammered.

" Are you what?" I asked raising one of my eyebrows.

" Are you dating Veronica?" Camilla asked directly and made me shocked. What!!!?

" What rubbish are you saying?! " I said.

" You are not?" Danielle asked.

" No I am definitely not. I am not sick or you both think I have banged my head somewhere!!! Why would I date her!!! Don't I know how she is and her intentions?!" I said totally shocked.

" Well, calm down, boy. But, Camilla heard her talking with someone that you both are dating awhile back." Danielle said and I was totally shocked and soon it turned into anger.

" Where have you seen her?" I asked Camilla.

" Outside of this building when I was entering. She couldn't see me but I saw her and heard her saying that." Camilla said.

" Well?" I asked myself.

" Steffan?" Danielle called me.

" Yes?" I looked at her.

" She is playing another nasty game. Stop her before you become her victim. She helped you once and that doesn't mean that she can use you in her nasty game. She has gotten this much courage cause you gave her chance. She is crossing her limits. Stop her right there, prevent her." Danielle said.

" Well, how?" I asked.

" She is definitely going to tell this thing in front of press. You know how much she hates Eleanor?! As they got our sponsorship she is not in her sense. She is that angry that she can stoop any low without any second thinking, like she was doing outside. She will try to destroy Eleanor. She won't stop until she is destroyed totally. " Camilla said.

" I know this. Well, Danielle, call Steve and tell him to prevent this drama of her to being a gossip. I don't want to see this in my breakfast table tomorrow morning. " I said.

" As for her nasty attentions!!! She will never be successful in her bad intention. She will see hell if she tries to do any mess this time." I said firmly and my hands turned into fists.

" Well, Steffan I think - " Camilla was saying something but suddenly a knock on the door stopped her at once.

" Come in." I said and the next moment I saw Eleanor is entering my cabin.

" Hey, Danielle." She waved at her and Danielle somehow managed to smile back as we all were shocked seeing her here. Hasn't she left already?

Wait, was it her whom Veronica was saying those Rubbish!!! Can be. There is strong possibility of that. I stared at her. She stood in front of the desk.

" Sorry for disturbing you." She smiled. Well, this smile of her!!!

" Yes, Ms. Stewart you need anything? " I asked.

" Actually, I left this." I saw she was pulling out a file from my table. She smiled. " Marco gave it to me but I forgot it here."

" It's OK. " Camilla said." It happens." She said.

" Yes, thanks. See you all,bye." She waved and got out of the room. I was still looking at the door. I found myself smiling.

" Well, she is Sweetheart. " Camilla said.

" Yeah,she is." Danielle said. "and her presence made someone smiling like an idiot." She gestured toward me. I glared at her but it didn't work they both started to laugh out loud.

" Enough you both. Go back to work and let me work too. I don't have any time for your Rubbish gossips." I said but they didn't bother to stop laughing.

" Well, let's go, Mila. Let him think about her alone. We shouldn't bother him." Danielle said and I glared at her.

" Don't give me that look. I know what this means. Not bad." She winked and left my room with Camilla.

I remembered her smile and smiled again. She is a beautiful creature.

I found myself really thinking about her presence. It made me happy, but why!!!What is happening to me?!!! Just what!!! I felt loathe for her. But do I really!!!!
