No matter what...
Hearing it Francis had a huge smile on his face….
Francis said ' Great, good work send me his complete details and address
The guy said ' Okay sir, just give me a few minutes I will send you the details'
Francis said okay and disconnected the call he was very happy hearing it….
He turned and took position and struck a golf ball and laughed a lot loud and said ' Mathew you made my son against me right, Now I will bring your son who is already against you to stand in front of you'.....
A cunning smile appeared on his face….
……………
Mishka and Maria went back, the whole ride Maria was silent, Mishka didn't know what happened suddenly but even upon asking she didn't tell so she didn't press it…
Mishka got down and said her bye and the car left…
Mishka stood there looking at the car….
Maria was thinking about Rachel's words the whole ride, she thought ' Should I tell you everything? Will you keep me with you after all this?'
This question was going on and on in her mind throughout the ride…
The car came to a halt and she was still in her thoughts, the driver looked at her not getting off he said ' Ma'am?'
Hearing a voice suddenly Maria came back to reality and said ' Huh?'
The driver said ' we have arrived mam'
Maria looked out of the window and saw she arrived. She nodded and slowly got down…
Walking in she felt heavy-hearted, she walked straight to her room….
Olivia, who was coming out of her room, saw Maria and called her but seeing her not listen and go up she thought must be tired and ignored it….
Maria stood in front of the room holding the door knob. She sighed and opened the door and saw Arthur working on his laptop…
Seeing her come he smiled and said ' You met with your friend? How was it?'
Maria just nodded and directly went inside the bathroom…
Arthur felt the weirdness but ignored thinking she must be tired…
Maria went into the bathroom, and looked at herself in the mirror ….
She washed her face and after freshening up and changing she came out and went to bed and lay down…
Arthur asked ' You alright?'
Maria said ' Ya just tired wanna sleep'
Arthur nodded and switched off the lamp and went and sat on the sofa working on some files…
Maria turned and was looking at Arthur working, she just looked at him with doubts should or shouldn't was the only thing she was thinking…
After 1 or 2 hours Arthur completed his work and was getting up seeing him get up she closed her eyes…
Arthur came and covered her with a duvet and lay down beside her pulled her in his arms and slept…
Maria, hearing his normal breathing understood he was asleep, she opened her eyes and couldn't sleep the whole night…
The night was long and silent but passed….
Arthur woke up as the sunrise fell on his face and looked at Maria who had her eyes open and red as she didn't sleep…
He asked 'What happened to you? Did someone say something? Or something happened? '
Maria shook her head still silent…
Arthur looked at her and knew something but seeing her not willing to say he didn't force her…
He said ' You take a rest today, don't come to the office okay?'
Maria nodded that she didn't have any intention to go too…
Arthur kissed her cheek and got up and went to get ready…
Arthur after getting ready said bye to Maria and went down…
Olivia was waiting for them at the table and asked ' where is Maria?'
Arthur said ' She won't be coming '
Olivia didn't ask further and after having food they left...
Arthur after reaching the office called Mishka to his cabin…
After some time Mishka arrived and Arthur asked her to sit and asked ' Did anything happen yesterday during your meeting?'
Mishka was confused and said ' No nothing happened '
Arthur said ' She is behaving very weirdly after coming back didn't talk nor gate didn't even sleep properly, as before going with you she was good but she didn't return the same'
Mishka then remembered the change she had suddenly and was a bit hesitant saying it but seeing him so anxious she said ' She was all okay, we went to the cafe and were happily chatting and then I had to use the restroom so I went and when I came back she was all silent and weird'
Arthur said ' Did something happen when you left?'
Mishka said ' I don't know, I asked her many times but she didn't say anything and was always silent'
Arthur nodded and said her to go, he thought ' Something happened between the time she went on a break'
Arthur pressed a button and the receptionist came in and Arthur said to send Mike in…
After a few moments, the door opened and Mike came in…
Arthur said giving him a note ' You go to the cafe and I want the complete footage of last night's meeting of Maria and Mishka'
Mike nodded and asked ' Anything else sir'
Arthur shook his head and Mike started to leave and Arthur suddenly said ' Mike'
Mike stopped and turned and came back to the position and said 'Yes sir'
Arthur looked at him and said ' Whatever happens always protect Maria you will be with her now, always no matter what'
Mike nodded and said ' Don't worry sir, It's been years I am with you I know what you like and what you don't and will protect what you love with all my life'
Arthur nodded and said ' Just remember no matter what '
Mike nodded and left…
Arthur sighed and said ' What are you thinking little woman'...
