  Jennifer's pov

WOOW!

What was that? Did Ryan Reese, the most eligible bachelor flirt with me? My knuckles are still tingling from the touch of his soft lips. I am fighting hard to keep the silly smile off my face. He did something in mere minutes which I had yet to accomplish- convince my father to let me work!

I can feel the searing gaze of his blue eyes burning every inch of my skin. Could it be possible that he is interested in me?

With these thoughts clouding my mind, I make way to papa, asking if he is willing to go home now. He realises that I am getting bored, so he agrees instantly. On our way back home he asks me about my experience at the party and that he is sorry that he refused to let me work at first. Papa tells me that if Ryan advocated my case, surely he must have seen potential in me. in that moment I am extremely grateful to Ryan and I am determined to make this opportunity count.

As soon as I get back home, I wish good night to papa and make my way to my room and waste no time in getting out of the dress that seems to have constricting my breathing. I put on a boy leg panty and shrug on a loose tee minus the bra. After removing my makeup , I finally feel free. Then I do what I have been planning to do ever since I have met Ryan this evening –I scour the net to get info about him. I want to know more about him. Well if I am being true to myself, I actually want to know about his love life, well only if he has any , because 5 minutes into the search and I realise that there isn't a single picture of him with another female with the exception of his family and secretary.

Is he gay??

Surely not!!! because I have the first hand experience of his charm directed my way. But the fact remains- 32 years and no dating history? No scandals? Nothing?

Is he of the type who swear off love because of the history with their parents? Again the answer pops as a big fat NO in my mind. I am damn sure he was flirting with me. so what is the reason? So many questions and no fixed answers! This man is a mystery!

Getting no answers in that area, I shift my focus to other topics like his family and business house. He has 3 siblings from his step mom. Brothers – Sameer, a corporate lawyer, Siddhant, a software engineer. Both working in his company. His sister, Sia is a student in Columbia. Both parents are in the field of medical science. Pretty accomplished family, I must say.

His conglomerate consists of 50 companies which means 50 different fields – oil, automobiles, software, telecom, beverage, retail, logistics etc, to name a few. He is slowly catching up to the TATAs and Birlas. The third quarter net profit of his company that was declared recently, is 1.4 billion dollars. That means he has become a billionaire now. He started his company at the age of 21 while he was in the last year of his college. With the monetary help of his dad he bought a logistics company which belonged to his friend's dad in india and was undergoing loss and its owner wanted to get rid of it. Ryan was majoring in Economics. He saw the potential , he tapped it, made structural changes in the organisation of the company and after 2 years of hardwork , it started paying off and since then he has never looked back. He however didn't complete his degree. He is a college drop out. I am yet to ascertain how he feels about it. maybe I will talk to him about this some day, only if I get a chance though.

He has asked me for my resume, which means I am not to be sure that I will get to work with him. I will have to wait till Monday, I guess. I hear my phone ringing and a look at it reveals that its Rishabh.

"hello"

"hey jenny. I hope you were not sleeping?"

"nah{no}. Just got back from the party. Tune iss waqt call kiya , sab thk?" {trans: you called at this hour, everything alright?}
