Angelo corporation Building No. 3

*Huff* *Puff*

*Footsteps*

*Running footsteps*

A tall figure wearing fitted bright pink suit came running through the stairs and towards the only office door situated on the lonely floor.

He breathed through his mouth and kneeled his hands on his knees to get enough air.

Faster!!

No time to waste!!

And he started running again chanting the encouraging mantra.

*Huff**

Just there...

Just there..

His forehead glistening with moisture of sweats and to them struck his golden shining curls. His determined eyes finally landed on the glass door printed with broad capital golden letters.

Finally...

He quickly pushed open the door without asking for the permission.

He was in so hurry.. he cannot wait another minute for lift to arrive. That damn lift was so slow anyway..

He quickly ran inside the room and his dark grey eyes searched all the cold aired room for his target. And then it landed on the king like figure of man sitting with his utmost seriousness and focus working on the fat files. His one arm comfortably resting above the black leather sofa while another held the pen. Sun shined above his profile making him look more magnificent and can glue anyone to their place unable to look away.

"BROTHER!!"

Alan quickly walked towards sitting figure of his elder brother in hurry.

He was giddy from inside and hoping to get atleast one week holiday after giving him the big news faster than anyone. He wanted to be the first person to get his praise. Hehe.. he will definitely give me a holiday not for week but for one or two days.. it wasn't too bad. Right?

"Brother?"

Andres did not look up already predicting his arrival. He just put away his files on the table from his lap and typed his password to the laptop in front of him.

"Brother I got a news about Sister- in -law.."

Hearing his brother's desperate voice Andres finally looked up with his dark eyes and away from his screen to Alan's shining face. That guy was smiling so brightly enough to shine the whole dark room with his white teeths as he finally stopped and stood in front of him.

Andres' expressions changed a little as he raised his left eyebrow slightly a indication for him to continue.

"Sister-in-law.. got a job.."

"Hmm." Andres nodded and tapped his fingers on his thigh a little lost in a thought.

"And you won't believe.. she's currently working on a pub with little pay." He quickly stepped forward with his chin raised proud of his busybody skills.. "hehe.. Aren't I great .. I got this news first and ran here to inform you."

He waited a second for his brother to reply him back or praise or acknowledge his skills. But frowned when Andres turned back to look at his laptop.

Andres looked at his brother and read his thoughts instantly. He gently turned over his laptop screen for him to look.

Alan's eyes widened and was about to pop out of his sockets. Damn it!!! He lost again!! He was confused whether to laugh or cry at him.

There was a picture of petite woman with brown almost black hairs tied in a bun working and serving peoples. It was the same woman his brother married a week back. Saanvi. Even the pictures shows the name of the pub and peoples working around her. How rude!

He pouted in defeat. His brother was so annoying he got his wife's picture before him. He could have called him but wanted to feel like a king for once and ran all the way here to personally lend him the information. But again he did this to him. So unfair.

After sulking for a while he thought of something and found it good opportunity for them to meet Officially. Not as drunk man and woman.

"Bro, Won't it be a good opportunity for us to have sister-in-law joining us?" He looked at Andres and quietly took his seat in front of him before continuing "She needs a job and we can offer her one with good pay?"

Andres' dark eyes met his identical one , something meaningful swirling inside the depths of its darkness.

"There's no rush."

"But!! Brother.."

He was cut from his whining when the man suddenly got up from his seat putting aside his things. He collected his coat resting behind him and put it on.

"We need to attend an important meeting. Come."

Looking at his brother's sudden change of mind Alan did not question him and followed behind him. Gesus, his brother is already genius and something's always cooking inside his frozen head. So there was no hurry to help him. He must have already something in his mind for sure. Let's wait and find out.

***

Saanvi subconsciously played with the ring hanging around her neck inside a silver chain. The ring felt so fragile to touch. It became her stress reliever for many past days when she cannot sleep hearing strange voices ringing inside her head all the time.

She subconsciously went to touch her lips and quickly broke away again. It was so tough to not feel anything touching them. Sudden flash of images made her heart race again quickly. Bad. It was bad sign. These past few days she was started having confused thoughts driving her pull her hairs out to remember something anything.

Tina was so worried for her health she even denied to go back to work. She wasn't sure how she got transported from Carlos Bar to a expensive looking hotel she can't even afford. And the more mysterious thing is sleeping beside a... Stranger.. beautiful man. Beautiful man. Hmm.. the God looking man. She was confused and questioning herself but from deep inside she felt her heart flutter with the thought of even coming near a man as beautiful as he was. It was like this was all a damn dream. Compared to her taste in that toad tongue Viraj it was. After getting cheated by him suddenly she has starting noticing the defect in her vision to even getting attracting to a playboy like him.

After she suddenly went missing. Tina went insane trying to find her drunk friend inside the country she was new to. She was so afraid and went to police for help. But was afraid to death again after finding her unconscious lying on cold bathroom floor.

She even screamed "MUDER!!"

So she couldn't blame her friend for suddenly becoming protective of her. Infact, Tina got owl's black eyes after not sleeping the whole night.

"Hey girl!!"

Someone tapped the table loudly.

Saanvi quickly formed a fake large smile on her face and greeted the customer with humble voice.

"Welcome to Richie's Pub. How may I help you Mam?"

The little drunk british woman looked at her and waved her hand.

"Nope. Nothing. Just the bill."

"Alright."

Saanvi turned back to look at one of the other girl working there as cashier.

" Bella!!"

Bella typed something on the screen and looked up towards Saanvi.

"Yeah?"

"She wants to pay. Make her bill."

Saanvi then turned back to the woman and gently told her to go over to Bella. Thankfully, the woman was sensible and not like the other customer, Rick the other worker dealt with yesterday.

Another man with red shirt and black pants with a hat come towards Saanvi. Saanvi quickly stood straight looking at the pub owner Mark Rice coming in her way. Who was also Tina's friend and offered her a job on her friend's request.

"Sahvi, go assist table number 3. The peoples there is more professional so be careful. Alright."

Saanvi nodded and ignored his British accent. It was natural for them to find pronouncing her name difficult. By now she was used to people giving her nicknames to avoid all the tension of remembering it. Like example, Bella called her 'Sam' , Ronnie called her 'San'.. and blah blah..

Taking her notepad she moved towards the table on the corner. She cautiously started taking small steps observing the expensive suit wearing mens around the table talking seriously.

She didn't want to offend them with her inexperienced behaviour. She never worked as a waitress before and this was a new environment for her so it was better to be safe than sorry. And Mark also warned her just now.

As she reached there, everyone stilled and shut their mouths instinctively.

Saanvi got almost alerted with panick when she felt all of the powerful mens turned to look at her all together. All pairs of eyes were looking at her Suddenly as she tried to speak steadily.

Geez!! So scary!!

"Welcome to Richie's Pub. Can I take your order Sir?"

The one with dark brown hair was about to speak but suddenly stopped..

They all together looked behind her ignoring her and suddenly stood up from their seats.

Saanvi followed their eyes and looked behind her as well curiously.

It was like a slow motion model ramp walk, two handsome mens in in their muscles fit business suits coming in her way. One with shining golden messy hairs with playful smile on his curved lip in bright color which will never suit another man.. except this creature. Her eyes flickered to the another man beside her in appreciation, he was much more handsome the golden haired man with his poker face engraved with sharp chesiled features. His dark hairs and grey eyes even made him look more attractive to his superior aura.. Saanvi's eyes zeroed to look up more to his features..

Then his dark cold grey eyes met her staring brown orbs with looking away... She froze ...

Her palms suddenly felt sweaty. She was suddenly nervous.

"Are we Married now?"

"Mmm.."

"So we kiss?!!"

Realisation hit her hard on her head and she blinked... Again and again.. but no he was definitely here.. coming towards her... Staring at her boldly..

But then he broke his stare away from her to button his coat .. then he looked up again... with a poker face but this time with a little curve of his lips staring directly at her eyes again with his mysterious secret gaze..

The smile was hardly noticeable but it sent Saanvi's body to panicked mode instantly. Her eyes widened and she still stood there dumbfounded..

'No...'

'No..'

'Please No..'

...

Is this some kind of nightmare come true? No, not nightmare..

An impossible dream..

So they meet again...

***

Three mens in pressed dark business sitting were sitting around the table in front of other two most powerful business tycoons.

Out of the three, one was continuously blabbering while the other was busy soaking his handkerchief with his sweats. He was suddenly afraid of offending the big boss'in business world. While the first one was slowly losing his confidence getting no response from the two tall figures sitting in front of him and his sweat cleaning companion. And the third one gave up a while ago. Did they actually offend the two big boss'? Is this their end? Should he call their wife to pack their bags and leave London forever?

Alan looked bored and annoyed. When his not so affectionate brother become like a freak to even continuously stare at a waitresses in this pub. So annoying. His single ass was converting by now into a stone looking at the hide and seek gaze between his brother and his unaware naive sister-in-law.

His eyes moved to look in front of him and felt sympathetic for once. Poor souls trying their best to impress his stone craved brother who was more immovable than before with his wife in picture.

This was actually the so called important business Meeting.

But why ?

Why the poor little brother is being tortured by this monster big brother?

"You can stop talking now. Take a sip." Alan took pity on the three poor mens & forwarded the drinks in their direction.

Saanvi tried to ignore all the temptations or stares thrown in her way as soon the mysterious sleeping man stepped inside the pub.

Does he remember her? What is their history together in that hotel room? Why is he staring at her like that?

Or am I mistaken? Is someone behind me?

She checked many times around her. But nope, no one. It was only her his dark unblinking eyes were following like a stalker.

He did not say anything to her. Or even reacted when she froze in front of him resembling the dummy. Her already nervous body was now on more nervous mess. Can't he look away?

She can see all the other eyes of women around him giving him googly interested eyes. Even the blonde one was talking to one of them who came to his table. But the most beautiful man there was unmovable and.. *cough* *cough* stalking her with his silver stare.

She looked at her watch. Hm.. atleast it was time to leave. It was just a part time till she find real job here. Returning India with broken heart wasn't a option with your parents hating your guts. So yay London! And I can't be a freeloader in Tina's Shoulder.

"Here's your order Mam." She smiled serving plate of sausage with beer from the tray "Please Enjoy."

And she went back to the counter. She was about to go back to change and remove the apron when Mark came again personally. He never does, so?

"Savi, Table No. 3 asking for you. They are ready to order now."

Yes, after half hour of staring at me they are ready. When I am also ready to leave. Ugh!

She peeked at the table full with now five well dressed mens in suits and decided to try her luck. It's creepy to go there.

"But Mark.. my shift overs by 2:30. Can't someone else take their order? I mean..I am in hurry to go job hunting."

Mark gave her a understanding nod but the result was still opposite.

"I understand. I wouldn't ask you now if the peoples weren't important there. You know very IMPORTANT. They asked me specially about. I will pay you extra. "

He gave her a look. Her throat struck with no sound coming from it and she finally agreed.

Who can say no to extra money..

She quickly took her notepad and went towards their table. A strange feeling swirling inside her guts this time with nervousness.

She tried to avoid the one and only dark stare of the same man and stood there only focusing the man whose smile never fell once from his golden messed up hairs. And this time she noticed something different. The other two mens in sides were matching my state of emotions. Nervous. They weren't scary anymore.

"Hello Sir, Are you ready to order?"

This time the smile of the golden hair man changed into something different. His lips curved into one side. Forming a very evil smirk thrown in her way. And suddenly she was afraid as he looked at the other scary looking beautiful man.

"Yes. My brother will order."

Her heart thumped loudly when the beautiful stranger didnt answer just stood up directly from his seat while his eyes bored inside her own with another bold stare.

She subconsciously took a step away from his familiar figure to keep herself safe. Was it fate to let her meet him like this again?

His eyes felt so familiar.. it almost blinded her with its depths.. this face under all the lights.. definitely a beautiful devil..

When she woke up in that hotel room she hasn't seen his silvery orbs instead she has been having sleepless nights because of his appearance in her dreams. And to her shock she saw him in her dreams with open eyes and with exact shade of his real ones. How was this even possible?

Her heart stopped beating when she saw his warm fingers touch the cold ring around her neck.

Her skin tingled and she was once again dumbfounded with the whole situation.

She definitely needs to see a doctor..
