《Stuck with the Male Lead》5 She will disappear
Advertisement
Daisy stood in front Kings & Co, contempleting whether she made a right decision by agreeing to the ridiculous condition put forth by Ethan King or not.
To enter, or not to enter that is the question? what should be the answer to this question. Daisy wondered.
" Ah... I will have to enter, there is no turning back now" Daisy said to herself and entered through the door of hell...ops I mean the door to Kings & Co.
Daisy was dressed in blue pencil skirt, creme colored full sleeve shirt which was neatly tucked into her skirt, white blazer was hanging onto her arm. Her grey high heels clicked with every step she took.
As soon as she stood before the reception, the receptionist stood frozen, gaping at her with her mouth slightly open.
" Sweetheart, I know I am stunning, but I am here for work, can you please inform your CEO that Daisy Williams is here" Daisy said smiling sweetely at the receptionist.
Seeing the dazzling smile directed at her, the receptionist blushed and averting her eyes from Daisy.
" Y-yes, Miss. Williams I was informed about your visit. The CEO is waiting for you, this way please." the receptionist whose name was Julie, hurriedly guided Daisy towards elevator.
Daisy smiled by the receptionist behaviour.
As they moved towards the elevator many people eyed Daisy, all type of gazes were directed at her with admiration, amazement, lust, jealousy, ambigious,etc flashed throught those people's eyes.
Daisy moved confidently, totally aware for the effect she was creating in people's heart.
They reached 40th floor where the CEO's office was located. Daisy noticed the interior of the floor, there were no employees on these floor only assistant desk can be seen right beside the CEO's office.
Julie knocked on the door, the door was opened from inside. There stood a chic aka assistant Camila Dickson in tight fitting skirt which reached just below her thigh, red shirt with low cut which showed lot of cleavage. It was as if she was on a bar.
" What?" Camila barked at Julie, she did not notice Daisy yet.
" There's a-a g-guest .." Julie stuttered.
" Hello, I am here to meet your CEO, Mr. King.Can you inform him?" Daisy said calmly.
" Julie are you blind to bring anyone to barges into the building to meet CEO" Camila glared at Daisy and then at Julie.
" Ma'am, I-I was in-informed to let.." Julie said but she was cut off.
" Just tell your CEO that Daisy Williams was here, he may have time to entertain a person like you but I don't. " Daisy said and turned around to go back to the elevator.
" Miss. Williams wait please, you can't go. We are really sorry about the inhospitality." Julie tried to explain it to Daisy.
" What's going on? Daisy?" then came the voice of Ethan, he was standing at the door looking at her, confused as to why she was going back.
"Mr. King, now I get it as to why you needed me to come here for every meetings. You sure have ambitious employees. But I am sorry the ambitions of your employees are way beyond my reach. See you later" Daisy replied sarcastically and started to walk towards the elevator.
Just before she entered, her arm was caught by a warm hand. Daisy turned to find Ethan holding her arm, his deep blue eyes were looking at her like she was a child throwing a tantrum.

" Whatever it is we can solve it with a talk. Please come in. " he half whispered afraid she might get angry.
Daisy moved away from him, freeing her hand.
" Sure" she gave a calm reply.
" Wait into my office I will handle something and join you." he ushered her into his cabin and closed the door after she entered and turned towards Julie for explanation.
The office was cold, from its color to its texture everything here was cold. In the middle of large room was a brown colored sofa which occupied half of the middle area with how large it was, deep brown desk. Opposite to the desk at a distance was large floor to ceiling window from where the whole city can be viewed.
Daisy stood in fornt of the window and gazed at the busy streets of New York streets with her back towards the door.
This was the view which greeted Ethan when he entered his office, Daisy standing with her back to him, her long brown hair were flowing down her soft shoulders, she stood there like a cerene painting just like a illusion as if next moment she might disappear into a thin air.
He was not aware when he moved forward and stood besides her looking at her side profile.
Daisy turned around when she felt him standing beside her, she found him staring at her with odd eyes.
" Let's get down to business. Shall we?" she said looking at him.
" Yeah" Ethan replied breaking out of trance. They both took seat at the sofa in the middle of the room.
After almost 3 hours the complete report on project was made by them.
Daisy stretched out her body, and stood up to go. It was almost 8 in the evening and she needed to rest and food.
Daisy had moved out from her parents right after she started working. Her new apartment was just on 20 minutes distance. Kings office was at 50 minutes distance. She had to drive there.
" Wait, lets have dinner then I'll drop you at yours" Ethan said standing up moving after her.
" Its okay, I have my car. " Daisy said walking out of his office. She didn't see assistant of a whore sitting at her desk.
" I fired her. She was being a eye sore for long time now." Ethan answered without being questioned. Daisy nodded.
" Its your call. " Daisy replied as they entered the elevator together. They were standing just at arms length. She was able to smell his cologne. There was silence, it was making her strangely nervous, still she did not let it show but her fidgety fingers gave her off.
" Lets have a dinner and I will drop you off" Ethan pressed on.
Not wanting to sound rude, she reluctantly agreed.
They walked side by side to exit where Ethan's chauffeur was waiting with his black Bentley.
" You can leave, Sameul. I will drive" Ethan informed his driver- Sameul.
Sameul nodded wishing them good night and left.
Initially Daisy wanted to sit at the back seat but after Sameul went she stood holding the back door. Ethan opened the passenger seat for her and waited for her to enter with a subtle smile playing in his eyes.
Sighing she thanked him and took the passenger seat, he jogged to other side of car and sat down.
As the car moved forward there was silence with only the soft sound of engine roaring could be heard. Daisy was leaning against the window gazing out of it.

Ethan kept peeping at her time to time, he wanted to speak but didn't know where to start and what to speak, he had many things to speak but couldn't speak, he felt that if he said something wrong then she might not want to be in the air as him.
" I- I am sorry of the other day." he finally spoke.
Daisy turned towards him and looked at his side profile.
" Exactly which day Mr. King?" she asked waiting for him to ellaborate.
" The time when we were at the lunch, I didn't mean to hurt you that day. Its.. just that.." he was trying to form exact words. Even he did not know why he reacted that way, what was to him if Mason was her best friend or not? he thought.
He was not getting, as to why he was so irritated by thought of Mason being her best friend.
" There was something on my mind that moment. I hope we can be friends" he said.
" Mr. King, I am sorry but I don't make friends so easily, we are work partners and I hope we be the way we are, nothing more nothing less. Its good for both of us and our families. And I think you would want the same? " she said looking staright ahead. She did not want to get involved with him. It would be too dangerous to come close to him, if he were not the male lead she would be happy to friends with such an outstanding man.
In those hours where she worked with him for project, she has come to know that he has a lot of potential, he was excellent in his work. Her being friends with him would be lot profitable but it was more dangerous, and she didn't want to take any risk of putting her family in dangerous situation.
She did not know when she will leave this world and return to her world, but as long as she was here she will surely try to make things good for Daisy and her parents, so that when she returns to her world, Daisy and her parents would be safe and sound.
Ethan glanced at her, his thoughts were mess. He wanted to be close to her, wanted to be friends with her, wanted to talk with her, wanted to laugh with her. He didn't know where this feeling was coming from, but he was sure that he was desperate for her attention, it was something never happened with him it was his first time feeling so helpless and desperate.
He decided that he will make things right between them, like they were before when she was still friends with him.
They both were deep in thoughts when they reached the diner, even when eating they did not speak .
Ethan dropped Daisy to her apartment, her apartment was located near Williams & Co. It was elite area with adequate security, after dropping her he decided to go to his parents place to calm his restless heart by talking to them.
When he entered throught the door, his mom was having her time with TV.
" Mom, I am home." he greeted his mom.
" Oh sweetheart, have you had your dinner" Olivia enquired when he took his near her.
" I had it, mom I wanted to speak to you" he said looking at his mother. He always had a good relation with his parents, any problems which he faced would be discussed with his parents to his ease his mind. He always had a perfect family, a perfect childhood with all his wishes fullfilled.
" What is it honey?" Olivia asked warmly.
" Its just that...." he wasn't able to form his words. He didn't even know what he was feeling, how was he going to explain it to his mother.
" Its about Daisy, don't you feel she is changed?" he finally said.
" Oh, how come? Exactly what are you trying to imply?" Olivia inquired. She has noticed him being absend minded right after the banquet.
She had always liked Daisy, she was a good child. Always lovable and sweet. Olivia had wanted her Daisy to ber daughter or rather more like daughter-in-law, but she did not want to force his son.
Daisy had always been a bright child, Olivia felt that if she was to be daughter-in-law then her son will be happy. But Ethan had not bothered with Daisy at all. But now that he was showing his interest she was ecstatic about it.
But she needed to keep her calm, to not give herself out in fornt of her son. Mr.King, Ethan's father too had always liked Daisy for his son. But never forced them to be, he said let the wheel of time decided it .
" Its just that she is changed, she isn't the same like she used to be. She doesn't hang out with her friends like she used to. Ian and all others were sharing the same feeling. She is much more involved into work. " he said.
" Is it bad to work? Don't you work? I think she is ambitious." Olivia indulged, she knew that all this things about Daisy were not coming from his friends but from his own heart. Her son has always been slow on matters with feelings.
" No mom you don't get it. She doesn't get involved with her friends like her usual friends, they want her talk to them, they want her hang out with them. " Ethan said messing his hair with his hand.
" Is it? Why do they care so much about her? Aren't they busy as well? Hasn't it always been the other way around, Daisy has always taken time for her friends, so what if she decides to focus on her career." Olivia wanted her son to realize that he was missing someone very important to him.
He has always taken Daisy for granted, but now that she has not given him the attention she always used to give, he is missing it.
" Mom...How can she do this? How can she forget the prople important to her? How can she change so much? How can she forget about me? How can she treat me like stranger? Why doesn't she be like her usual self? Why doesn't she talk to me? Why.." he stopped abruptly after his outburst, he did not realize what he was saying until he saw his mother smiling at him.
" See, that's the answer to your question. You are affected by her, and you must admit it. Sort out your feeling for her. You are desperate for her. You want her to notice you." Olivia smiled at her foolish son who did not know how possesive he was sounding.
" You need to sort our your own feelings, honey. I want you to realize your own feelings for Daisy before its too late. She has changed not I think its time for you to change."
Ethan spend the whole night thinking about his mother's words.
