Game of Love

Chapter-5 [Dumb me]

I heard foot steps coming closer to the door, I escaped and hid behind the wall that took a sharp left turn. I heard someone open the door and close it. Steps coming closer to my side..more closer...my heart was beating so fast that I could hear it... whoever it was, would catch me?

"Ryan I need some papers,bring that first.."

I heard dad's voice and the footsteps had gone fade...uffff...

This man makes my life hell...

I came out from my hiding place. I was breathing heavily due to that excitement...

But so many unsolved riddles roaming in my mind.

Who is Scarlett? What is Dad's relation with her? Why did Ryan even fix a date for them?

Wait....he is fixing a date for them that means dad has an affair with that bitch...Dad can't do this! He is not that kind of person...Is she behind my parent's separation? If so, then she has to pay for this...

But it's all my certain thoughts, to establish  these I need someone's help and only one can help me to solve these riddles... Ryan.

Aghh..now I've to approach that idiot... Damn.

I slightly opened his cabin with a hope that he would be there. You must be thinking I should knock his door before entering but he doesn't deserve it..
I peeped and found none. Great now I need to find that asshole.

I was roaming around for him.

"Need any help?"a voice from behind startled me. I turned and saw that same guy.

"Hey, you-"

"Brian."

"Yeah, Brian. Umm.. actually I do need help. Can you tell me where is umm.. Ryan?"

Damn I can't believe I'm literally finding him and asking someone for that. Woah..

"He is at meeting room. Actually I was about to call Mr. Wilson for that. Why not you join us! I mean...as you join our company so.."

Is he blushing! Whatever..

"Do you know where is my dad? I mean Mr. Wil-"

"Are you looking for me?" a voice interrupted me. I looked over my shoulder and found dad.

"Yeah, dad."

He came to my side, placing a soft kiss on my temple. "Honey,  I've a meeting now, why not you join us?"

Is it really a question or a statement? I gave him 'I-really-need-to-join-this-meeting' look.

"C'mon Mia, now you're part of this company. You've to join the meeting." He said,giving me a 'I'm-your-boss' look.

"Ok, fine." I said rolling my eyes.

It is not that I don't want to join our company or I took this decision in rage but I don't want to involve in any work before completing my mission. But I think God has something else for me in His gift box.

At the meeting I sat beside my dad and just opposite Ryan. I even didn't know why I chose this seat, may be as because there were only two seats left, one this and another where my dad had his seat. Actually I even don't know why am I here? Oh, right for my family.

Dad discussed a project before telling that shit which I prayed not to happen with me, at least not now.

"As you all guys know my daughter had just joined our company so I want to inform you that from now she will work on this project."

Shit.

"But sir, if we include any new member who has no work experience and specifically totally new in this field then it would be little risk as it's very important for our company."A random guy stated his opinion.

Either he is very brave or   it would be the charm of dad that anyone could state their opinion in front of him without hesitation, whatever it is, I like it. A smile arose on my face. This state could give me a chance to escape from this, but my dad's reply poured a bucket  full icey cold water over me again.

"You're right Gabriel, I knew it beforehand so I know what I'm gonna do."
Now this caught my attention.

"So she will be working as an assistant of Ryan." he continued, pointing a pen to Ryan.

What? I won't work as his assistant.

"No dad I won't." I told him, my voice was little higher and annoyed.

He turned his face to my side. It was straight and cold.
"I'm your boss here, and you'll do what you have been told to do."

I threw a glance at Ryan, his eyes met with me but he turned back his gaze on dad as soon as it was on me.

"Do you understand Mia?" His voice little authoritative now.

"Yes, dad." I muttered.

"Good."

I'm totally pissed right now. How could he do this to me? He knew how much I hate him then...then why did he force me to assist him?

He dismissed that meeting and everyone went back to their work leaving me, dad and Ryan alone here. I was sitting on my chair shocked.

"I know Mia I was rude that time-" I looked up and saw my dad was by my side placing his palm on my shoulder.
"It's my office Mia not our home and you've to learn how to differentiate between personal and professional life." He continued, leaning against the table but still his hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah, dad but-but why he dad?" I asked him, glaring at Ryan. But I think it's not a matter for him to earn a glare from me.

"He is the project head dear, and most of the work of this project is handled by Ryan. And most importantly you can learn a lot of things from him 'bout your work field."

"Yeah, right."

I was pissed  by the fact that 'I'm going to learn from him'. Dad didn't say anything but gave me ' it's-good-for-you' look.

He patted my head and left me alone...no, he left me alone with Ryan!

Now it's his turn to surprise me.

He got up from chair, walking slowly to my side. He must be very happy today, after all he got the legal permission to bully me..but I'm Mia and none can bully me.

I stood up straight so that whatever he would do I would get ready with a right answer...but surprisingly he passed across me. I heard the clicking sound of the door lock.

Is he going to do something nasty at office with me?

I looked over my shoulder, hopefully he left.

Relief...

Playing the role of his assistant bothered me though but still I need him...I need him for solving my riddles. Because only he and dad could answer me. But as I can't ask my dad so I've to approach him..damn...
