UNDERSTANDING HIM

Chapter 33

Adam's POV:

Yesterday was one of the best day of my life.
How did I get so lucky to have a person like her by my side.
She is everything I've ever wished for.
My Lady...My QUEEN!

I'll shield her from all the hassle and troubles of the world. I will do everything to keep my rage at bay, even if I have to take those stupid anger management classes.
God, I am whipped.

A knock on my office door interrupted my cogitation.
"Come in" I voiced in my usual professional tone.

"Mr Keingstein, your 3:30 meeting is waiting for you in the conference room 5." said my assistant Lyn.

"Okay, I'll be there in a few minutes"
I wrapped up the remaining paperwork and headed to the conference room.

This project is important for our client's company to save it from bankruptcy.
Mr Reid is dad's old associate that's why we decided to hand over this project to them.
But my only problem is that Juliana,
Mr Reid's only daughter who is a pure spoilt brat.

"Mr.Reid" I handshake him "Ms Reid" I glanced at her but she came forward and hugged me. Her mere presence antagonises me in many ways but I respect her father so I have to bear with her for now.

I was in the middle of the meeting where Mr.Reid's employee was presenting his idea when I felt a hand on my upper thigh. Knowing very well it was Juliana's I jerked it away. She looked glum but hell I care. I know better than to mingle with these type of people who change their personality admiring one's bank account.

She leaned on the table pushing her fake breast on my line of sight trying to gain my attention. I don't even find her scarcely attractive. She is no comparison to my wife.

Mila, she possesses such a beautiful smile and her features are to die for. But the main giveaway is her eyes, very innocent and childlike. How adorable she looked this morning sleeping on my chest with her silky hair spread all around us, her natural scent is something which soothes me. Instantly I was craving for her presence. I can wait for this day to get over.

After those 60 minutes which felt no less than 60 months finally got over.
Mr Reid took his leave with Juliana who was still bashing her long eyelashes trying to lure me by asking for a date before following her father.

I went to my office to complete my remaining work. There is loads of work as that stupid Steven fly to his parents for Christmas with Stella. Steven and I started a small travel business together back at university which is now giving a good competition to other's in the market securing position in top 50 company in the Forbes list.

We both have our family business to look into but we take time for something we started on our own.
I was fixated on some papers when my phone rang. I decided to ignore it but when I saw it was Dad I had to pick it up. He can be very persuasive some times. He is very dominating who likes to have things his way. Nonetheless, he is a wonderful leader and a great father.

" Hi dad"

" Adam, why were you not picking up your damn cellphone."

" Sorry dad it was on mute. Anyways what was so important?"

What he said next shook me to my core. I dropped everything and rushed out of the office having only one person encompassing my mind right now...MILA.

Mila's POV:

The day was pretty much normal. It was holiday times so we got more number of customers than usual.

The diner was closed during Christmas but after it, we had to reopen for the new years. The only problem was that we have less number of staff with us here as Stella and Ben both took leave. Stella accompanied Steven to his hometown to meet his parents while Ben went to Ohio at his grandmother. Hence, it's only me, Emma and Mark.
John, Emma's husband helped us occupying the position of the cashier whereas I was serving the tables while Emma and Mark were busy in the kitchen.
