Cindy's POV

" Who gave this terrorist my number?" Chloe asked.

" We haven't given him your number." Gina said.

" I don't even know him properly." Ann said.

" Yeah. I too meet him only once after we reached here." RD said.

Chloe turned to me glaring hard. I looked around to be sure if she is talking about me. And yes. Unfortunately she was looking at me because there was no one around me. She was looking at me only. I sighed.

" I am not involved here." I said to her.

" Yeah, I am trusting you." She said rolling her eyes. " Never ever!!!" She said.

" Trust me. I am not involved here." I said.

" You were talking about him a lot taking his side that day." She said

" Not only me. Gina did that as well. I don't know him more than you two do." I said to her.

" Really?! But I thought you know him much more than me. " She said rolling her eyes.

" No, I don't know him more than you." I said.

" But I think you-" she was saying but before that someone turned on the TV there in the cafeteria. We all turned to the TV and found a familiar face there.

" Matthew!!" Gina said and I realized I wasn't daydreaming. But we all looked at each other weirdly and confusedly.

" What is this terrorist doing there?" Chloe asked and I rolled my eyes.

" If he was a terrorist then he wouldn't be there." Gina said.

" She is right." Ann said.

" Ssssssshhh!!! Let me see." RD said.

" What is he doing there?" Gina asked me.

" I thought I am sitting exactly next to you. So, I also know exact thing that you do in this topic." I said to Gina and she glared at me. I rolled my eyes.

There was a conference and he was giving a speech there. Awhile later I saw Reben was there as well. Oh, may be he was talking about Reben. He told me a few days back that Reben is still under works. He has designed Reben for some specific works that Reben is expert in. He started to explain Reben's functions and his capacity. People were watching that very curiously. I think Matthew is quite famous here. People like him as well. We can say that from their expressions. They were praising him and he deserves that. I mean he is talented and exceptional.

I turned to Chloe she rolled her eyes at me and I chuckled. I can understand she was irritated already. The girl who never accept her defeat. But it seems this time she is already defeated but still she will not accept it. I didn't bother her anymore. She is already bothered. After lunch we went to work again. Today's meeting was quite successful. I am quite satisfied. Because our demand is accepted by the dealers.

I shouldn't think like that but it's quite like that the incident happened with Stella has influenced the associates. That was quite uncomfortable. They even are trying to use this for a huge financial profit. I am still silent because our boss haven't said anything yet. May be he doesn't know that as well. He hasn't come to office these days. I can understand that he is busy with Stella. I need to talk to Chloe and she will talk to Mr. Campbell.  I mean we can achieve success by our hard work but not using that incident which was nothing but a nightmare for us. Here we are trying to forget this incident there they are trying to remind us about this again and again. I definitely should do something about this. I- uhhh... Suddenly I found someone waving his hand in front of me. I shook my head and came back to reality just to see a smiling Matthew standing in front of me. I rolled my eyes inwardly.

" You scared me." I said to him.

" No hi, no hello?" He asked and I rolled my eyes. He chuckled at my expression. " I was calling you from past 5 minutes. You didn't say anything. What should I do then?" He asked me.

" You are crazy." I said to him.

" Yeah, I know that." He said.

" By the way congratulations about that launching conference." I said.

" Oh, you saw that?" He asked me.

" Yes, we all have seen that." I said. " Reben has quite improved these days."

" Yeah, thanks God he hasn't run out of power in between the conference. These days he keeps running out of powering when he is given some important works to do. Because he keeps playing Games in computer all the day. He is turning on a lazy kid." He said and I kept looking at him weirdly. If you hear a robot is playing games in computer that will definitely ring weird to you.

" Weird." I said.

" Yeah, but I am doing things to stop him doing so." He said. I kept looking at him weirdly.

" Oh. Then what are you doing to stop him doing that?" I asked him.

" Playing outdoor games with him. We were playing cricket that day and he broke Mrs. Lee's window thrice then she created a big drama. Weird woman. Who reacts like this?! It's like someone has broken her head. Umm...in fact it would be better if someone would do that. That lady it such a headache." He said and I don't know actually what should I do hearing something like this from a matured person like him. He is not a kid, Right?!! I don't know.

" Very good decision. Play outdoor games with him." I said.

" But that lady is a problem here." He said.

" You can-" I was saying but Chloe's voice stopped me.

" What are you doing here?" She asked angrily looking at Matt. He smiled at her.

" Why didn't you pick my call up?" He asked her. She rolled her eyes.

" I am afraid of the terrorist anyways." She said. I rolled my eyes.

" You are cute." He said and she glared at him heard. " Oh, volcano is ready to erupt." He said. Stupid!!!!

" Will you leave or should I call the security?" Chloe asked.

" No use. They know me." He said to her. She gritted.

" What the hell is wrong with you?" She asked him.

" What did I tell you to do yesterday? Why didn't you go there?" He asked her.

" I am not bound to answer you." She said and he chuckled.

" Really?! Should I tell Cindy what you have done yesterday?" He asked her and I looked at them weirdly.

" I will kill you, Stupid!!" She said. He laughed.

" Then come with me but I assure you I will like to give you a ride." He said. Chloe gritted and stomped her feet before walking out of there.

" Taming the Shrew." He said and chuckled. " It's not at all easy."
