Chapter 39
Alissa and Eleanor were in the same cabin, discussing about some project. It's been a week since Eric
and Alissa went out on a date. Only Eleanor in the whole company knows about their relationship. They
both were busy in their conversation. Suddenly, out of the blue Eleanor asked "How was your night with
Eric?"
Alissa looked at her for a moment and said "Yeah Yeah it was good"
Eleanor smiled and nodded. "Who told you about the date and all?" Alissa asked and she replied "I
didn't know you were with him. It was just that, I just guessed."
Alissa looked at her for a brief moment and Eleanor smacked her shoulder "I swear it was a guess"
Alissa laughed and said "Yeah yeah I believe you"
On the other hand Eric was busy in his so called busy work. Cheryl has eaten up his head as he is
giving her training on how to manage a company and blah blah blah. But the outcomes were coming
out to be a zero. Cheryl was continuously trying to flirt with him but he was not giving her a look.
"Okay so do it like......." He started explaining her and she just put her arms around his neck and
started kissing his jawline.
"Get off me" Eric said in a serious voice.
"Huh?"
"Get. Off. Me" He said in a stern voice and she backed off.
"You know what Cheryl. I've been loosing my shit because of you cause you are not letting me do my
work. I've been working my arse off but you just don't give a damn about it. You just don't care about
my hard work. So please leave" He said in anger.
Cheryl stared at him for a moment and said "What?"
"Leave" He said again.
"Okay Eric I will leave but if I tell this at home, you will be finished" She said while crossing her arms.
"What do you mean?"
"I know you've been roaming around with that girl, the P.A of yours. Alissa Lawrence. I know who she
is. If I tell this at home I swear the consequences will be worse than you can even imagine" She said in
a challenging tone.
"You won't do that" Eric said.
"Oh yes I will. My father can buy your freaking company in the swap of his fingers" She said pointing
towards his face.
"Don't show me that bloody finger of yours" he said.
She smirked and said "Do whatever you want to do. But I'll be the one marrying you"
"Oh yes I'll marry you" he said in a sarcastic tone. It was obvious he did not mean that.
"Stop being like that. It's time to pay off" she said and left the room.
Eric scratched his head and thought it would have been better if he would have born in a middle class
family rather than this where life gives you drama in every minute. Eric started working and the day
went by in slow motion. When he was going to leave the company he thought to go and meet Alissa.
He entered in her cabin and she was packing her stuff.
"You are also leaving?" He asked her.
"Oh yeah" she said.
"Okay I'll wait for you" he said and then they both left together. Alissa sensed that something was
wrong with him.
"Eric. Is everything okay?" She asked.
"Oh yeah. I am just tired" Alissa nodded although she was not completely into that excuse, but she
thought to let it slip away.
Eric insist Alissa that he will leave her home but she did not accepted that offer and went away. Eric sat
in his Lamborghini and drove off. All the way to home he was just thinking about what Cheryl has said
to him. He entered in his mansion and out of nowhere someone just hugged him tight. It was Robin.
Eric was just freezed at his place. When Robin moved away he patted on his back and said "Son I am
so happy to have you as my son in law. I am so happy that you proposed to my daughter Cheryl. You
have my blessings"
Eric was just standing there looking at everyone's faces. It took him some time to register all this stuff in
his head. He looked at Cheryl and she was smiling and she came towards him and gave him a long
hug.
"I am so happy I have you as my future husband" She said looking directly into his eyes.
He looked at her ring finger and there was a diamond ring. But he never made her wear this. Slowly
everything was making sense. She already warned him in the company that she will be the one
marrying him. And now she has done this.
"You never told us about this. We would have helped you in arrangements" Emma said.
"Oh come on mom. Eric was just trying to be romantic" Cheryl said.
Everyone sat on the couch they were talking, laughing, drinking. But only two people knew what it
really was. Ethan and Cassandra. They were just sitting at the side of the couch and were looking at
everyone's faces. Eric just held a sad face thinking this is what fate wants him to spend his life
like.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
