Because You're Mine

Chapter 1

"Fix it or you're fired."

Veronica warned her assistant after she slammed the file onto the desk before asked her assistant to leave her alone. She tried to carry on with her work by turning her body to face the computer again but she can't concentrate anymore on work. Things aren't going so well this particular day for her. She doesn't even know why. Jealous ? It can't be. Insecure ? Not even exist in her life's dictionary. She rests her head on the chair and tapped her fingers impatiently on the desk. The surrounding of her office screams "strictly business" in every sense but what happened that morning was strong enough to pull her minds out from the surroundings. Whenever she closed her eyes, the images of that incident appears and it's makes her furious. She hates it. She just hates it. She quickly grabs her phone and dialled a number.

"I want to meet you."

"Why ?"

"I said I want to meet you."

"But what if public saw us ?"

"I don't care. Meet me at the restaurant now."

She cut the conversation before grab her bag and makes her way out of the office room. She walked towards the elevator with anger before someone blocked her way.

"Conference room. Now."

"I need to meet someone, James."

"I'm ordering not asking."

"I can't join the meeting. I've got something more important out there and I'm pretty sure you can handle it by yourself so please, don't force me."

She walked away and quickly got into the elevator. When she got off at the basement floor, she walked out of the building and get into her car. She drove the car to the place where she want to go and as she arrived, she walked into the restaurant before take a seat on the reserved table for her. Her eyes are fixed on the entrance of the restaurant while she ordered a glass of plain water for her drink. When her order arrived, she drinks the water to make herself calm down. Then, she saw him. He walked towards her table after he saw her waiting for him and quickly took a seat in front of her. She looked at him and he looked at her.

"Yes ?" he asked after two minutes of awkward silence between them. She keeps looking at him.

"Why you want to meet me ?"

"So I can't meet you now, huh ?"

"There's any problem ?"

"You think there's any problem between us ?"

"There's anything happened ?"

"You think there's anything happened ?"

He didn't say anything after that. She still has her eyes on him.

"You're jealous ?"

"Yes, I am."

"I'm sorry, okay. I didn't mean to. You know Meera, right ?"

"Yes, I know her. That's why I don't like what had happened this morning."

"I'm sorry. I've promised that it won't happen again."

He was about to hold her hands but she quickly avoids it and look away.

"We're in public so please..."

"Fine then, let's eat. By the way, you're looking so sexy when you're angry."

She rolled her eyes as she bored with his cheesy lines but then she smiled when he winked at her. That's their relationship. Simple like their names, Kabir and Veronica but complicated as hell like their differences in life. After they finished their foods and paid the bill, Kabir assists Veronica towards her car and suddenly the owner of the restaurant called Kabir's name.
