I love you my hedgehog
"Please,just dont say thanks. Can you sit with me for a moment ?Just one drink?I will take it as a thanks!!!" Ether Cullin said.
"Umm....Okay.Let's go." Rose couldn't deny him.
They went to the counter and sat there.
"Soft drinks for me.My liquor capacity is not impressive." Rose said with embarrassment all over her face.
"It's okay.I will order soft drinks for you."
"Thanks,Mr Cullin"
"Please call me Ether."
"Okay,Ether." Rose smiled.This guy is surprisingly very friendly and it was very easy to deal with him.
"Can I ask you something?"Suddenly Ether Cullin asked.
"Yes."Rose stared at him.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" After hesitating for a second he asked.
"No.I am single."Rose said.
"I don't believe it. You are lying?"Ether Cullin said with a frown over his face.
"It's true even if you don't believe it."
"So there is nothing between you and Kelvin?" Ether Cullin was still suspicious.
"Wait.What?Kelvin means my boss?"Rose Opened her mouth with amusement.
"Yeah!"
"No way!We don't have anything like that.And he hates me." Rose said with a grimace on her beautiful face.
"I don't think that he hates you."Ether Cullin immediately disagreed.
"Why do you think that?"Rose asked him, frowning.
"The way he looks at you doesn't seem like he hates you."
"Trust me.He hates me.I would be glad if he doesn't hate me.At least my mountain like workload would be less."Rose let out a sigh.
Ether Cullin laughed at her.
"It's good that he hates you.Kelvin Kyle is a dangerous man.His love definitely is not a good thing at least not for a girl like you." Ether Cullin stated taking a sip from his glass of red wine.
"What do you mean by a girl like me?" Rose narrowed her eyes.
"You know what Rose! You are as pure and beautiful as Rose." Ether complemented her,staring intensely at her.
Rose blushed,her cheeks became red immediately hearing his compliment.She must admit,he is really good at flirting.
"I am kinda sure you say this cheesy line to almost everyone." Rose said blushing.
"You are different from others, Rose." Ether Cullin said, running his finger through his hair.
"Hey you are here.I am searching for you about half an hour." Mark shouted.
"Sorry!I totally forgot about you.Mark, this is Ether.I met him in my boss's meeting. Ether, this is Mark.He is my friend and classmate."
"Nice to meet you,dude." Ether offered his hand.
"Nice to meet you too." Mark shook his hand with him.
"Where is Lizzy?We should go back now I think.Its getting late." Rose said with a worried voice.
"Okay,stay here.I will come back here after finding Lizzy.Don't disappear suddenly just you did a few moments ago."Mark said.
Mark went to find Lizzy.
"Can I ask you for something?"
"Yes,what?"
"Can I get your phone number?I mean sometimes I can call you or hang out with you like your friends...I mean...ummm.If you think of me as your friend.''Ether Cullin said, scratching his hair.
"Okay. Just give me your phone."
So they exchanged their phone number.
"Thank you." Ether said, taking his phone back from her.
"Hey,Rosy...babe.Look I don't wanna go.I wanna stay here....." Lizzy was tipsy and it seemed to be she couldn't even stand on her own feet.So Mark had no choice rather than holding him.
"She is drunk.Now behaving like crazy." Mark said with annoyance.
"Hey,handsome.I like your hair.They are like hedgehog spine.I like hedgehog too.Don't you think they are cute?"
Lizzy jumped on him and wrapped her arms around his torso and started pulling his hair without any warning.Ether was totally dumbfounded.His face was worth seeing.
" Lizzy.What are you doing.Leave him."Rose shouted.
"No,no.That's my hedgehog.I love you my hedgehog."She was still hugging him like a Koala.
"He is not a hedgehog.Leave him.Let's go with me." Rose was pulling Lizzy to free Ether from her embrace.Finally she succeeded.
"Oh!I am very sorry.That's my friend Lizzy.She is drunk.Just please don't mind.Whenever she is drunk she starts acting like a crazy person."Rose said with embarrassment.
" I am not crazy.You are crazy Rose.My hedgehog.....hedge..."Lizzy finally fainted giving all of them a break.
"I am sorry for troubling you Ether. We need to go now.Bye." Rose said.
"See you,Rose.bye." Ether said smiling like a fool.He kept standing there clueless as he was dumbfounded due to the whole situation.
They made their way toward their car.At first Mark dropped Lizzy to her home and then Rose.At her apartment,she freshened up first, changed her dress into a nightgown and finally went to sleep.At the end,the day was not that bad.
Next day,Rose went early to the office so her boss wouldn't get a single chance to throw tantrum over her.As she entered the cabin,her desk was no longer there.She felt slightly confused.
"Good to see you early today.Now bring me a cup of coffee." Entering the cabin Kelvin Kyle said to her.
Rose went to the kitchen and made a milkless coffee with two cubes of sugar.
"Sir,your coffee." Rose offered him the coffee cup.
"I have a meeting at twelve pm,you remember right?Now Just keep the whole file ready.I don't want any fault!"
"Okay sir.but where is my desk?" Rose asked.
"Go to your cabin.It is just beside this cabin.It was on repair so I placed your desk here for a few days"Kelvin Kyle cleared her confusion.
"Thank you sir."
"Make sure the files are ready.Otherwise I will throw you out of the company."
"Okay sir."
Rose was heading toward her cabin.Finally she got some privacy otherwise it is very hard to always work in front of the devil.She sighed a breath of relief.
"I just wonder whoever the girl is this devil's girlfriend. Her life surely is miserable or either she is an insane person.No sane person could withstand him." Thinking of these, a grin appeared on her face.
After some time,She decided to get a coffee for herself.She was having a throbbing headache as she was at the nightclub for a long time late at night and even woke up very early in the morning. But She bumped into someone While walking with an absent mind.
" Hey,I am sorry.Are you alright?"A blonde head,brown eyed man asked him.
"It's okay.I didn't see you." Rose said, fixing her clothes.
"Hi,I am Jay Miller.I am in the management department."He offered his hand to Rose.
"Rose Wesley.Mr Kyle's personal secretary."Rose took his hand with a smiling face.
"Nice to meet you,Rose…. Bye I have to go." Jay left in a hurry.
"Bye."
Rose went back to her cabin and started arranging files and replying to the email.Its around 12.She should go to the conference room now.
