✨

verything was silent outside the luxurious shopping mall but it was not the same as inside its one of the luxurious boutique store. 'Stark Boutique'

*Crash*

*thump*

"Ugh!!!"

All the pretty professional girls in uniforms with fake serious expressions glued on their beautiful faces just looked at eachother time to time with pure disgust. They do not wanted to be here but were forced to be. Some of them were workers and others were the rich heiress advantage taking so called friends.

No one dared to step forward or console the spoiled princess anymore. They were fed up by now with her destructive annoying personality.

She was so thick headed delusional rich heiress they never wants to encounter again. But the sad truth of life, it wasn't their choices. They were ofcourse here with their own greed.

"He is mine dad!! Find that witch for me or get out!!!,"

"WHY? Why would he do this to me? You did nothing dad! Nothing!"

The woman in her dark purple knee length dress was getting more crazier with second. Everything seems red in front of her eyes. She was so blinded in rage she could even kill that woman who dared to steal the man she claimed first. He was only hers to snatch.

*Pull* *push* *crash*

This time she pulled and crushed the hands of the one of the dummy and broke her neck before pushing it to the ground.

Few of the girls just closed their eyes to block this deadly scene happening in front of their own eyes.

The head of the poor murdered dummy girl rolled on the ground and with fate stopped not from centimetres from those girls legs. This was my favourite. Poor dummy.

"Why!! Why there is no information about her? How could you? DAD!!"

Paul Stark rubbed his temples and looked at the expensive clothes, racks, expensive jewelries everything lying on floor broken and spolied. Ofcourse it was his own fault for raising his daughter like a stubborn evil princess. He never ever denied her single order.

Wherever she pointed her single finger it was given to her with no questions. But now, it was becoming his headache. Andres Angelo wasn't something he could snatch right away and stuff into his princess daughter's purse as prized accessory.

"Rebecca you know very well if I cannot then no one can do it darling."

He tried to explain calmly controlling his own frustration.

She wasn't the only one who got humiliated by Angelo's but he was too. And thinking about that humiliation he cannot help but turn malicious to harm that arrogant cold man.

Rebecca's bloodshot eyes fell above his father and she took heavy long steps in her high nude sandals to reach him. Once standing in front of him she spoke in her usual sharp angry bird voice.

"How many days?... How many days it has been since I, Rebecca Stark the only heiress of Stark international company got humiliated in front of mere peoples in that cheap courtroom dad.. " Her face puffed up in more repulsive force "Why there is no information about Andres' new b* wife? Now you want me to bloody calm down!!"

Paul Stark helplessly reached to pat his daughter's shoulder "Andres is not someone we can win so easily Princess. You cannot find anything about him if he doesn't want you to."

This time she suddenly went silent.

She was well aware of whatever her father is saying is true. She wasn't unfamiliar with these words. It was infact famous in business circle about the mysterious unseen CEO Andres Ron Angelo.

She remembered the time she has seen him years back and was instantly charmed to his cold personality. So without thinking she decided to aimlessly search about him. But, was successfully failed to find him all those years. If it wasn't for Charles she wasn't sure she would have even been here.

"I did send my mens to follow Andres like we planned.."

"And?"

Paul took a deep breath "they were beaten brutally before sending back to me. "

Rebecca's instantly felt herself shiver again with rage. But she controlled herself throwing the last question to his father before bursting into flames of revenge.

"What about Charles.. was he able to talk to his son?"

"You are well aware about their relationship. They are rivals in reality, forget about father son nonsense."

*Crash*

Suddenly another rack of clothes was crashed on the nearby wall. By now the whole boutique resembled the garbage store. The pretty workers were all too scared to even look at the mess. So the stubborn princess' anger was back again.

"Useless.. all of you..."

"I want him... That's it . .."

Rebecca continued to ruin her own boutique without any care for the damage while screaming on top of her lungs to remove all of her anger on beautiful useless dresses who couldn't even seduce single powerful man like Andres. What was the use of her wearing that ugly priceless wedding dress just to impress him.

Thankfully the walls inside the shop was sound proof or...

"Rebecca Maria!"

Rebecca immediately halted and tilted her head to look behind her...

Another deep voice came outside from the glass door of the shop.

There he was standing in his charming attractive glory. The man she was familiar all her life..

Instantly all her anger ,tiredness faded away from her face and she quickly smiled with tears in her eyes before crashing directly into his arms.

"Jack!!"

Paul's face pulled up in disgust as he saw the seen unfold in front of him. His daughter wrapping her arms tightly around the handsome man dressed in fashionable formal suit. This clown was here again.

**

Saanvi went still for a moment without any expressions. No, she had a expression but only of mental shock.

Is it normal to meet your former crush this early when there was no hope of him coming to you again. Oh that sounds wrong. Not coming to her but sitting in front of her again.

And she was about to turn away and run. Act like there's no one sitting except invisible handsome ghost. But then, he smiled.

Smiled!!

HE BLOODY SMILED!!

She quickly tightened the tray in her hands and cursed to her clumsy legs. Just one smile from an unknown man who happened to be ... Um..beautifull. And yes, a suspect to her for that mysterious first drunken night of her life. Which spiked her interest more to get close to him and demand answers.

Or slap his handsome face..

No. No.. stop thinking nonsense..

She was just little bit afraid of proving herself fool again.

One time she was so bold to cross seas and come here in London foolishly and other times she was so timid to even talk to anyone like him or even look at him into the eyes.

To her defence, he's too much handsome for her usual taste. Like untouchable expensive foods in high profile VIP restaurants.

She took a deep breath to calm her racing heart rate and decided to ignore this intimidating man altogether.

She was already dozing here with her thoughts for sometime. And to her luck today wasn't that crowdy.

So she turned back on her heels in hope of continuing her work and ignoring him ...

Instantly something nagged inside her guts and she still managed to look at him from corner of her eyes and turned red instantly. In short, she was caught.

"Hey! Watch out!!"

"I'm so sorry .. "

Embarrassed she quickly apologied to the customer.

Dammit! It was all his fault. Why is he even staring at her ?

The whole day she could not focus but look at him time to time. He did not leave but continued to work on his laptop. And no one tried to chase him away for occupying the table without ordering anything to eat.

Even if he order was only glass of water or cups of tea. And nothing. No drinks. No food. Ajeeb hai.. (strange)

With tight lips and heart, many times she even watched how Bella who was few seconds back was cashier now acting like a professional waitress. If Talking about career switching so fast.

But to her relief it wasn't going like it was expected to be. Example, who will ignore the free attention of gorgeous women in tight skirt and blouse displaying her cleavage?

The answer is: the man in sitting on table No. 3

Bella: Do you want to give your order Sir? *Polite*

Beautiful Man: typing...

Bella: I like shrimps.. I can bring that for you sir? It's very famous recipe of Richie's Pub *Eyes shining*

Beautiful Man: drinking water.. typing..

Bella: How about trying strong coffee with shots of vodka? It helps reliving.. *twirls hairs*.. stress.

Beautiful Man: talking on phone quietly....

Frustrated Bella stomped back to where I was standing arranging plates for the customers

Quickly I dropped my knowing smile.

"Is he made up of wood? why my charm is not rubbing off him? " Bella made a face biting her lips " hey! Maybe he cannot hear me properly? What do you think Sam?"

Saanvi just decided to ignore her suddenly feeling fed up with her visits to the stranger she was feeling .. umm.. atteacted.

"Sam? !! Are you listening me ?"

She held the tray and without giving her a single glance she walked towards the table with their food.

Sam? Huh! It wasn't even her name. So no feeling guilty for ignoring anyone.

With plastered soft smile she served the food.

**

Andres' called few of his workers on office and managed to complete his work ignoring the noises inside the pub. It wasn't good environment for work with all those smell of food and alcoholic beverages tickling his nose but one glance at his wife's cute little face he was ready to sacrifice his time for her.

He stopped reading when his phone vibrated and he took out to answer and then his eyes noticed the unwanted shadow of a woman standing in front of him in bright colors.

He put the phone on his ear and listened quietly and gave silver of his look to the woman in green skirt standing in front of him trying to speak with him her bullshits.

[Brother!! How could you do this to me?"]

Instantly the whining voice of Alan boomed from the other side. This little guy was actually hard working if he stop all his gossiping habits.

"Yes"

He answered in short word.

[Yes my shining butt. You cancelled my leave for one week.. why? After working with no breaks I totally deserve that.. ]

"Hmm.."

Alan ignored his brother's unresponsive behaviour and continued to lash out all his words over the phone. Because ofcourse he was scared cat in front of him. Jesus! Angry scary big brother is not something he wants to deal with. Ever.

[My poor body is getting old.. and soon it will break under loads of extra works you pushed upon my fragile brain. And What should I do with Mama Bear continuously threating me with my life..huh! ]

Andres' mind went blank for a second as his dark grey eyes followed his wife's every move smoothly. Her soft full smile actually made her look more attractive with one dimple popping on her left cheek. She was looking so different the first time he had seen her.

[Are you even listening to me..? Ugh!!]

"I will talk to mom."

Hearing one short sentence from his brother's mouth he was finally satisfied but yet curious.

Where is he right now by the way? His busybody curiosity jumped inside his brain again for release.

Something doesn't feel right.

So he asked ,[Well.. dear brother where are you right now? I visited your office but was informed you left.. ]

Andres wanted to smile again which was really rare for him to even think. His personality was really cold from the start and smiling wasn't something he is used to.

She's looking.. cute

He thought.

[Brother.. are you there?"]

"Richie's Pub"

This bastard... Alan quickly cut the call and cursed him loudly in his empty office room.

Now everything made sense to him. No wonder suddenly every freaking meeting his brother was supposed to attend today was pushed on his shoulder. And about his weekly leave was suddenly cancelled and he was summoned here to work instead of enjoying his vacations.

His brother is so ruthless.

While he worked here .. his brother who never spared a single minute for any other woman in his whole life.. is now spending his quality time in presence of his.. wife!

Poor Alan.. mom wants to kill me.. brother wants to crush me..

And with his last sad thoughts he started working again with heavy heart.

**

Saanvi stretched her arms and looked at the time.

It was time to leave.

She was getting ready to leave packing her bag when suddenly someone tapped her shoulder.

She whirled around to found none other than Mark ,the owner of this pub giving her nervous smile again.

"Good afternoon Savi."

Why does he look constipated? And he's here again too.

She gave him smile in return and greeted him in return.

"Good afternoon Mark. Do you need anything?"

"Oh! Umm.. I wanted to ask you for a favour."

"Yes?"

Mark held his brown hat with one hand and repeated the words she heard just yesterday.

"The man in table no. 3 wants to order now."

Saanvi frowned in confusion but kept quiet.

"Savi, I know your shift overs today. But.. he requested specially you to serve today as well. I know your shift ends by now.. I wouldn't ask you now if---"

"-- if the peoples weren't important there. I understand very IMPORTANT." She smiled and completed his words.

He gave her a look and smiled nervously.

"Exactly."

Saanvi sealed her lips and continued to look at Mark. Ofcourse he wants to order now again when she wants to leave quickly and take a nap.

"I will pay you extra."

"Okay."

This time She quickly accepted.

First, Like I said before ,Who can say no to extra money.. and second, he's eye candy ..

She took her notepad and was ready to take order again cancelling her nap time. But little did she know this sweet torture with continue the whole week.

With her serving this unknown breathtaking gorgeous man without any idea of hint of his real identity and yes, balancing her beating heart everytime she was caught staring.

He will be death of me. *Sigh*
