"Kayish, we have an important meeting with our client Mr. Laurence Kavin. Do you remember?" I asked him while packing Sweety's lunch in her Tiffin box.

"Yes! I remember." He replied standing in front of the mirror trying to fix his necktie. "Give it to me." I grabbed the tie from his hand and began to cross the wide end under the narrow end, while the tie hung inside out around his neck.


"You smell amazing!" He pulled me towards his chest by my waist. "You are distracting me." I punched his chest, but he didn't flinch rather enjoyed teasing me more.

I tightened the knot by pulling the wide end and adjusted the knot to the center of his shirt's collar. "Now, go Mr. Miller." I pushed his chest.

"Where is my morning Kiss." He asked touching his lips seductively. "Okay!" I gave him a small peck on his lips and ran towards the living room.


"Hey, it's not a kiss." I heard him complaining.

"Sweety, baby come. We are late." I helped her to put her back bag.


"Bye, mommy!" She pecked my cheeks.

"Shall we go?" Kayish came from our room wearing a hostile expression on his face and picked her up. Hahaha!! He is disappointed by the kiss.

"Yess! Daddy." She pecked his cheeks.

"Bye, I will try to reach on time." I kissed his lips once last time before making my way towards the bathroom to get ready.

"Miss. Shane, have the meeting started?" I asked his new P.A once I reached the office; Even so, I know it would have started on time.

"Yes, mam. The meeting had been started one hour before." She answered politely.

"Ohh! Thank you." I walked to my office somehow I know I am taking advantage of the whole situation. If anyone had in my shoes, they would have lost their job for being irresponsible.

"I have to do my work more sincerely," I said to myself and went through the file one by one until lunchtime hit my sense. Kayish promised to take me out for lunch.

I ran towards the small mirror that attached to the wall in my office and retouched my makeup then heaved a heavy sigh, satisfied by my appearance.

"Alright, you look pretty!" I said to myself and walked out of the room but interrupted by Harith who was standing in front of my door; his hand is hung in the air as he was about to knock on the door.

"Hey, Hi Riya!" He said nervously hiding something in his behind.

"What's that?" I wiggled my eyebrows amused by seeing his sweating face.

"Riya, I wanted to tell you—you something," He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.

"What are you hiding there?" I pointed my finger at his back.

"It's – huhhmmmp," He cleared his throat and adjusted his necktie. Then out of the blue, he kneeled in front of me making my eyes go wide.

"What are you doing?" I whispered, deep down I have a feeling that it's not what I'm thinking then I saw Kayish is watching us standing in front of his office, his eyes solely on us but the bastard smirked when he caught me staring at him then walked away like he is not affected by the entire scene.

If it had happened in our college days, he would have sent that poor guy to hell without blinking twice but now, it's unpredictable. What happened to the possessive alpha jerk?

"I love you so much." I looked at him blankly blinking my eyes several times. He what?

"I wanted to tell you the moments I set my eyes on you, but I was broken when I heard that you had a boyfriend and now relieved by the news of your break up. It may seem silly, but I want to ask you." He stretched the bouquet towards me.

"What the hell are you doing?" I tried my best not to shriek out.

"Will you be my girlfriend, Juliet?" He asked his eyes hooded with love and passion.

"Juliet?" I furrowed my brows, somehow relieved by knowing that he is not here to propose to me.

"Yeah!" He stood up and straightened his coat. "Riya, I planned to propose to Juliet. So-"

"So." I raised my eyebrows at him.

"If I propose to her like this, will she accept my heart?" He asked making me chuckle darkly. Boy, he is totally wiped up.

"I think she will sue you out of this planet If you propose her like this," I said masking my face seriously, poor guy doesn't have any idea.

"Ohh!" He slumped his shoulder disappointedly.

"Go and tell her about how you are feeling for her." I pinched his already red cheeks making him groan.

"Riya, what if she rejects me?" He asked, the flash of hurt crossed his face.

"Harith, just give it a try. Who knows what is she has in her mind." I smiled at him. "Do what your heart says." He nodded his head thoughtfully.

"Okay, Riya. I'm going. Thanks." He hugged me before running out of the hallway very excited to meet his soon to be girlfriend.

"Harith!" I called his name.

"Yeah!" He turned to look at me.

"All the best." I gave him thumbs up.

"Thank you!" He yelled and ran fast like an ostrich. Oh! God, he practically gave me a heart attack. So, this explained why my possessive jerk didn't take this seriously.

"Maybe he did the same to him." My inner mind laughed at me. Whatever, I rolled my eyes and made my way to the parking area where my so-called boyfriend is waiting for me.

"How was the meeting?" I asked once we settled inside the fine restaurant ready to have lunch.

"Not as expected." He twisted his lips; his face held a sour expression that says he is not satisfied with the deal.

"So, you already knew that Harith is going to propose to her, don't you?" I asked switching the topic to light his mood.
