TJL#8#The Hidden Heiress

Some Time With Her

Edwin's POV

" Why will he do it?" Steffan asked Camilla.

" Steffan, I am not that fool to give you an absurd news. Just be careful." Camilla said and left.

" This girl is irritating sometimes." Steffan said.

" But Steffan, she knows what she is saying. So you should not take it lightly. Just do what she told you to do. I know Camilla she is right. She is not at all a fool to give you an absurd news. Besides, she knows her works very well." I said.

" Yes, I sent my private detectives too. Let them come with the news. I will make sure he regret for what he is doing." Steffan said.

" Alright, as you wish." I said.

" Did you tell Tasha everything?" He asked.

" No, I have not and I don't even have any intention to tell her." I said.

" Why not?! She deserves to know. Otherwise that bustard can try to make contact with her and make her fall into trap." Steffan said and I shook my head.

" No, I don't want to. Let her live happily now. I will handle it. If she comes to know that it's Mr. Hudson who killed her parents she will lose trust on this whole world. I don't want that happened. She has hold back. I don't want her confidence broke down which she made with all her strength that she had. I don't want her go back to the self she was before. I don't want her suffer again. I know it will be very rude to not saying her but I promise I will protect her but I won't let he break down. Not this time not ever." I said. Steffan was silent.

" And if I tell her what happened that day she will freak out and it will harm her health." I said.

" Alright, as you wish. But you are only thinking about her, how to protect her, how to make her happy. But have you ever asked what she wants? You should ask her what makes her happy, what she wants to do!! Go, spend some time with her too. She needs you more than anything. She needs your support and your attention. So, don't waste your time to make her feel worst when all she needs is you." Steffan said.

" Oh, did you do the same for Ellie?" I asked.

" She only told me those words and named me selfish so I am advising you to do it before Tasha calls you selfish." He said.

" Alright, I will try. I have been absent from work for a long period and dad will slice me if I don't go office today. I need to finish my works then I will be free for spending time with her tomorrow. The weekend will be nice then." I said.

" Well, then go and finish your work. Talk to you later." He said and I walked out of the office.

I looked at my watch and it was 10:30 AM. I decided to call Tasha. I took out my phone and dialled her number. She picked up after 2 rings.

" Hey babe." I said.

" Hey!!!" She said in a excited tone. I felt warm feeling overwhelmed my heart listening her cheerful voice.

" What happened suddenly which made my girl that happy that even I failed to make her?" I asked.

" Just like that me and Bella were watching movies." She said.

" Oh, good then." I said.

" Where are you?! Office? How is work? Much?" She asked.

" I am not in office just came to meet Steffan I had some work with him. And yeah there are mountain of works which are waiting for me today. I am hell dead today. Wish me luck?" I said.

" Well, God luck babe." She said.

" Woah!! Babe!!! Improving!!! Not bad, not bad." I said.

" Well, then I will hung up, I need to reach office before my dad make you widow before your wedding. So bye, babe see you at  dinner time." I said.

" Ok, will be waiting for you." She said.

" Ok then. Don't skip meals and medicines. Otherwise you are grounded." I said.

" You are mean. I hate you." She said.

" Yes, I know. I love you too." I said.

" Urrrghh..." She said and hung up.

I laughed at this. Why is this girl so cute!!

I went to the parking and get in my car. I started for office. If you guys are wondering how I got back my car!!!

Well, after that incident my mom gave my keys back to me. So I got my car back. I drove towards my office and as I reached my office I parked the car and went inside. I sighed thinking how hectic day it is going to be!!! I just entered my cabin and kept working. I didn't realize when the time flew that much.

" Still here!! Won't go home?" I heard my dad's voice. I checked the time it was only 7:00 PM.

" It's only 7:00, dad. I will be there around 9:00. You go home." I said.

" Alright, don't be late." He said and left.

I shrugged and started working. I put my phone on silent mode. I was working and again lost in it. I didn't noticed when it was 9:00. I only noticed when the big clock was ringing to remind it's already midnight. I finished the work and I took my phone and saw calls and messages from my mom, Ellie and most of all Tasha. She called me 67 times. I sighed and regretted for putting it silent.

I got out of office then got in my office and drove towards my office. I saw all lights off, everyone must've slept already.

I just entered in my house and saw it was dark all over. I walked ahead and bumped into the couch on the living room.

" Who is there?" I heard a voice and then the lights were on. I saw Tasha.

" You haven't slept?" I asked.

" Yeah, like you care?" She said folding her arms over her chest.

" Sorry, babe." I said.

" What sorry?! I called you thousands of times and you didn't answer it." She said.

" Not thousands it's 67. You forgot counting babe." I said.

" Don't babe me. I hate you." She said and I stepped ahead and she stepped back. I took another step and she took steps back. I was walking towards her and she was taking steps back.

" Stop right there, Edwin Stewart. Do you think I am afraid of you?" She said.

" No, babe why would you!! Am I Dracula?" I said and smirked then took two steps and caged her between me and the wall.

" Now tell me what were you saying I didn't heard you." I said.

" Why so are you deaf?" She asked.

" I too was thinking that why I become deaf seeing you." I smirked.

" You have mental issues. I hate you. Leave me, stu-" she couldn't finish as I pressed my lips on hers.

" Let's have a date tomorrow. Will it be enough to make you forgive me?" I smirked at her.

" Well, I will think about it." She winked at me.
