TJL#14# She Is The One

It's You

Noel's POV

" She has all the sketches." Mia said. I raised one of my eyebrows. " She will come soon." She immediately added.

" Call her." I said.

" She is coming." Jonny said as he entered in the room. This Lankford couple!!!

" How do you know, Jonathan?" I asked Jonny.

" I saw her coming towards office building a while ago. She must have reached by now." He said and there was a knock on the door. The next moment she entered the room panting hard.

" Am I late, Mia?" She asked Mia. Mia smiled at her.

" Good morning, Diya. No you're in time." Mia said.

" Lankford couple, please go and take care of the conference room we will be there in a few minutes." I said. They nodded and left giving Diya a small smile. I was irritated with her late coming habit. I need to do something about it.

" Good morning, Sir." She said to me with a smile. Gosh!! That smile.

No, no, no. Don't melt Noel. Don't melt. You need to deal with her.

" Good morning." I said. " Do you know late coming in not allowed in Axton's office?" I asked her.

" I... Umm...sorry sir." She said.

" Not always your sorry can work, Ms. Goenka." I said.

" I know sir but I wasn't late today. I was in time then something happened on the way and I became late. I am extremely sorry, sir. I won't repeat that mistake." She said softly.

" Same kind of thing you said a few days back." I said. " And then couldn't make it."

" I will try my best from now onwards." She said looking at me. I tried hard to pull myself out of her spell.

" Keep your words." I said.

" I will surely do that, sir." She said.

" Hmm, follow me to the conference room." I said sighing inwardly.

Day by day it's becoming hard for me to resist her. She is like a magnet pulling me towards her without herself knowing. She doesn't even know what she was doing to me only with her mere presence. I looked at her with the corner of my eyes. She was checking her sketches more like counting them. I shook my head. I thought my self control is too strong for her to creeping in me but I was bloody wrong here. Her spell is stronger than that to break my control. I was in a terrible trouble. I can feel that. I need to talk with my dad for a while. Cause sometimes he gives very good opinions. We reached the lobby and crossing the staircase but suddenly a group of employees appeared. They were engrossed talking didn't notice us. Diya was quite busy with her sketches and they almost bumped into her. I pulled her near me and she was shocked. I pointed the crowd and she nodded her head with a smile. She took a step back and I left her arm.

" Thank you, sir." She said with her smile and I nodded.

" Let's go." I said and we entered the lift.

" Yes, sir." She said following me.

" And don't walk without being conscious about the things around you." I said.

" I will do that from next time, Sir." She said. I nodded. The lift's door opened and my mom entered she smiled at us.

" Good morning, ma'am." Diya said to my mom smilingly.

" Good morning, Diya." Mom said smilingly. " How are you, dear?" She asked her. My mom is always the sweetest person ever. It's sad to say that I didn't get any of her sweetness. But I love her beyond the universe.

" Mom, where is Dad?" I asked her and she sighed.

" He took a day off. He is spending time with his daughters and the kids." She said and I smiled.

If you guys are wondering about the kids they are my niece and nephew. Natalie's daughter Leonore and Natasha's son Chase. Leonore is actually 7 months older than Chase. She is almost 5. She got all her mother's feature and the anger as well. She too much protective over Chase who is still an innocent little boy. His temper issues are still hidden but Leonore is too high according to her age. On her last birthday a boy pushed Chase when they were playing and she ended up punching the boy hard who was bigger than her. Can you believe that!!!

" Ok, let him. We will handle." I said. Our lift reached the floor and we came out.

" At any cost we want this deal." Mom said.

" We have a strong possibility of getting the deal." I said and mom entered the conference room.

" We will get the deal." Diya said. I turned to her.

" You feel that?" I asked her.

" Yes. I am confident about getting the deal." She said to me.

" Good. That's the what I want my employee to be. Confident and ambitious." I said.

" I checked the other's designs. Ours are the best. If they don't like it it's their mistake. Even if we don't get this deal we can use this for any other deal cause there too many projects under supervision which needs such helps. We can easily get other. We don't need to be worried at all." She said and there she is beauty with brain. I didn't think about it. What was I thinking about!!!

You were thinking about her. It was my brain mocking me.

Shut up. I scolded it.

We entered the conference room and I took my seat and she sat beside Mia submitting the sketches. I pulled myself out from her spell and concentrate on the meeting.

The meeting went successful. They wanted some changes in the designs and Mia pointed them to change it as they preferred. At least things went right. But we had our options. She was right.

" Congratulations, Jack, Colton, Katie, Bianca, Victor and Diya. Your first project was successful, guys. Congratulations." Mia said to all the apprentices.

" Thank you, Mrs. Lankford." Bianca said.

" Thanks, Mia." Diya said.

" You're welcome " Mia said smilingly.

I looked at her. She was arranging the papers smilingly. She was happy. I can say that seeing her face.

" Follow me." I said to her as I  reached her.

" Sir, me?" She asked for reassuring.

" Yes, it's you." I said with a double meaning a different for her and absolutely different for me.
