Fallen But Unwithered

36) Temptations 👀

I'm surprised how difficult it is for people to say 'I love you'. They only say the three magic words when they are sure to get 'I love you too' back. Cowards are incapable of expressing love. It is the prerogative of the brave.

Vingen's POV

The next morning, as I was seated in my office, checking into my the files I had to present in the meeting that afternoon.

I finished with the works and then asked Ritor to make the preparations for the meeting.

"It's done, sir. I hope we are going to catch the shark in a river this time. " Ritor smiled ending up grinning.

"It's impossible, Ritor. Stop making unnecessary assumptions. " I faced Ritor seriously. It was a real nonsense that she was speaking about.

"It's not. You never have anything impossible, sir. It's your mind that makes things either possible or impossible. And, your mind is under you. So, it is you who has to make everything possible. Because, if it is in your heart to get it, you can even find a water lily in a desert. "
Ritor's words touched my heart and that left me wondering how beautifully she expressed something never thought.

I then, smiled at her. "You impressed me, Ritor. "

"Actually, thank you. But this was not to impress you but to help you, sir. "

"Help? " I asked confused.

"Yes. It must be stupid of me to make unnecessary assumptions. Since I have only been here for a month, and shouldn't be speaking anything I didn't know about, but, I see a part of you hidden inside you. You fear something, don't have your happiness, and you do this all to maintain your dignity. But, you need to move out of it, find the real you. " She said with a diligent smile.

Whoa! Everyone's speaking riddles these days.

"....The new program we're organizing is something like an advertisement. Like the last time, since we had a kind of increasing customers and a good profit."

"So, what is fruitful if all you is repeat the everytime process of profit." One man, with grey hair and grey moustache interrupted him.
" Of course,we will not be doing that. We are going to just modify it a bit. We... "
Everybody was concentrating to what my manager spoke, but I was looking at the face of the people whom we had to take the deal with. My manager handler it we'll.

We had to be in the top. Anyhow.

Just then, there was a creak in the door when it opened, revealing my heartbeat. Miss Greene.

"Greene" I gasped.

She looked bewildered. She just stood motionless.
I quickly woke up and begged an excuse from all the people in the meeting.

"So, are you going to leave the meeting even for this big deal today? To your manager? " The same grey-haired man spoke.

What was the shitty thing with him? Why was he butting his filthy nose everywhere?

"Who says I'm leaving? I'll be back in a while. But, to make it clear to you, we don't have such divisions as you assume it to be here. All we do have is love and I have faith in my manager that he will do it. " I spoke up loud, making all the uttered words sound and clear.

He dismissed his gaze and looked here and there. And, without giving him any further notice, I took Greene's hand and walked out of the cabin.

We walked outside silently. Greene and me.
