46 Ball being Slipped Away

"What is this Tim? You have said that the media is at the front and back door but the situation seems more tensed whole media is over here in double fold. The situation seems more worse," Oliver spoke to Tim on the call

"Yes Sir, I just got to know from our team that all this is due to Elena Davis. I just can't believe that none of our security was able to reach Elena until now" Tim replied

"We need to reach her fast Tim. Someone is behind all this I feel that Elena's life too is in danger. We need to reach her as fast as possible Tim, engage more people and call everyone related to Elena. We need to know about her as soon as possible" Oliver ordered Tim on the call

"I am working on that Sir. While entering the office premises try to maintain a calm demeanor we can't just give them another breaking news. So please don't lose your calm before them and if they keep pestering for any statement just reply to them that it is a personal matter and you will give the statement only after talks with the Carters. Don't even say any word more than that Sir. I will take care of the other things" Tim assured him

"Yes Tim, I will just try to ignore their poking questions. You just try getting Elena as fast as possible. I have already asked our security to get Rudy. I just wish everything goes well and we may clear the issue as fast as possible," Oliver said to Tim

"Everything will be good Sir; you just don't worry," Tim assured before disconnecting the call

"I wish everything may go smooth and won't enrage Louisa," Oliver thought looking at the media outside his office

"Mr. Miller, what are your thoughts about this picture? Is the Carter and Miller union possible?"

"Sir, from when are they in love?"

"Mr. Miller, when will they get hitched? You have made any plans?"

"Will the Lox Organizations get merged with the Spacequest? Is this a decision to have control over all the business industry?"

The media pounced Oliver Miller with questions all the way 

"Sir, why aren't you answering our questions? Where is Louisa Miller and Asher Carter? We are waiting to get a glimpse of them. What are you hiding from us?" one of the reporters questioned Oliver placing the camera on his face

"I am happy that you all are worried about my daughter and her personal stuff but as this is our personal matter we will say anything only after discussing with the close members. There are many things we need to set right so it would be better if you excuse us" Oliver smiled at the whole media and took long strides into his office while the paparazzi kept asking more questions

"What is the matter with them, Tim? Won't they ever let anyone live in peace? They have created shit and now they want me to comment on that? Why do they stoop so low?" Oliver yelled as soon as he saw Tim

"Sir, we know how they work. The Carters are waiting in the lounge so now it's time to settle the matter," Tim explained to Oliver

"What's the mood over there?" Oliver questioned

"They are not saying anything to anyone Sir. They only want to deal directly with Louisa," Tim stated

"Why are they being so adamant? What do they expect from her?"

"I have no idea Sir, Mr. Flyer is trying every way to make them say a word but they are adamant for Louisa" Tim stated

"Let's meet them. I will try to settle the matter without involving my daughter," Oliver said walking towards the elevator

"Send the refreshments upstairs" Oliver ordered his P.A

"Tim, you stay in the office and make sure that work goes as per schedule without any interruptions. Nothing should reach the employees ears and the gossip should die here itself" Oliver ordered

"I will make sure that no one delays their work Sir, but it is impossible to stop people from having discussions. We may control them in the office premises but we can't follow them everywhere" Tim stated the fact

"That is true but somehow make them believe the truth that everything happening around doesn't affect their lives or the organization in anyways and send instructions to all department heads to motivate the teams working under them," Oliver said to Tim 

After reaching the destined floor both Tim and Oliver stepped out of the elevator and walked towards the lounge

"Did they have anything?" Oliver questioned the guard standing outside the main door

He nodded his head indicating a no. 

"Okay Tim, I will look over here. Make sure that you have your eyes all over nothing more should go opposite to our way. Keep an eye on Louisa too" Oliver ordered him 

"You just don't worry about anything Sir, just be cool and get everything right" Tim smiled

Oliver nodded at him and entered the room when his guards opened the door ajar.

"Good morning Gentlemen," Oliver greeted everyone present in the room

 -----------

"What am I supposed to do? Why has Dad put me in the secret room? I am the main one in all the ruckus and Dad doesn't want me to even come near to them. He is being too much overprotective," Louisa sighed

"Got bored of staying alone princess?" A shiver ran down Louisa's spine as soon as she heard a voice in the room where she is alone. Louisa looked at her surroundings and breath stuck in her throat when she saw the 6 feet honey eyed person standing at the door 

"Speak something dearest. Everyone says that you have a sharp tongue but you are being all silent here. I am dying to hear the voice of the princess so please say something," he said taking steps near Louisa

"How the hell are you here?" Louisa questioned surprised

"Apparently all the security systems designed by your father fell flat before the Asher Carter and he simply cracked the code to meet the girl who conspired something to defame me," Asher said taking more steps towards Louisa while she took a few steps backward

"Are you scared, Louisa? As far as I heard about you everyone termed you as a daring and dashing person then what is making the daring girl sweat in the AC room?" Asher questioned arching his brow

"I am not scared of anything Mr.Carter and I will never be scared of someone who tries sneaking into others room without even having a bit of shame" Louisa spat back

"Shame? Don't you think a person like you should be refrained from using that word?" Asher smirked

"Democratic country Mr.Carter; everyone has the freedom of speech and no one have a right to do a thing to me" Louisa spat

"So you are using the democracy to crush others lives, Ms.Louisa Miller? Is this your favorite game to do everything according to your plan and then pull the most innocent face so that people will pity you? I should pull a leaf out of your life and learn something from that to sustain in this maniac world, Asher spat standing closer to Louisa

"Mr.Carter, I am being really calm with you that doesn't mean that you can use my sweet nature to your advantage. Who the hell are you to accuse me and blurt out anything, which comes to your mind? Do you even know that one wrong step against me will cost you everything?" Louisa yelled

"I think no one in the world knows about that better than me Ms.Louisa Miller, the princess of Miller household has the power to turn everything into ashes with just a look. I know about your expertise darling" Asher said smirking
