Thank you so much for the votes. You Guys have no idea how much I appreciate it. :D .Once again if you have any ideas feel free to share it with me. ^-^

A ringing phone disturbed his dreams. Eric groaned and rolled to the other side, covering his face with his pillow so that he would not be able to hear the noise.  

But of course, that was impossible. He removed the pillow and opened his eyes and then quickly shut them. Not to shield his eyes from the sunlight (as there was no sunlight in the first place ,it was covered by the awesome curtains) but because of his headache.

He slowly opened his eyes again and adjusted his vision.

"Urgh! I shouldn't have drunk that much." Again he groaned.

Then he remembered the ringing of his cellphone. He quickly moved towards the side bed table and picked his cellphone from it which was no longer ringing. He checked the missed calls.

And guess what? He had 47 missed calls.

What the hell? Who's so desperate?he thought.

He checked the caller ID. 

And so the desperate people were Julie.....Edward....Ash? wow she is awake..Dad's secretary  Maya.....and...and...and WHAT?!!!

"Dad!!!" Eric shouted with horror. 

He checked the time and it was 9:15. He was 1 hour and 15 minutes late.

"Oh shit."

Eric hurriedly got out of the bed and ran to the bathroom. He brushed his teeth and took a shower in 3 minutes. After taking the shower, he ran out of the bathroom, wearing a towel gown and slipped on his way.

"Urgh." He got up, cursed and then again ran towards his closet.

He took out his suit along with a navy blue shirt and changed into them. He ran towards the door, stopped, turned around and then ran back to his room. He picked his cellphone, car keys, wallet and his laptop bag and then got out of his room and locked the door behind him. 

He took the elevator and reached the ground floor. His valet handed him his car keys and he drove towards Boston Corporation building.

He parked his car, hurriedly got out of it and ran towards the lobby then travelled up the lift and reached his 16th floor. 

"Sir! Thank God you're finally here. Mr. Boston has been calling for God knows how long."

Julie followed him all the way to his cabin.

"What's my schedule for today?" asked Eric, hiding his terror.

"It's not much. You only have to attend a meeting today in-" she glanced at her watch. "half an hour."

"What happened to the other meetings?" he frowned at her. 

Oh I didn't miss them. Please God I didn't miss them.He silently prayed.

"You only had one other meeting with Mr. William. He postponed it for some days." she replied.

Thank God.Eric sighed in relief not even asking for an explanation. Who cares? 

"Okay, I'll leave you with your files. You have to get ready for your meeting which is now in 28 minutes in the conference room." Julie politely informed him and then left his office. O-kay.

He sat behind his table and ran his hands through his hair waiting for the bomb to explode or in other words......... waiting for his Dad to call.

Someone knocked at his office door. He leaned back in his chair and composed himself.
