After their business talk
"Well Miss Heldon let's seal our deal " Asher said.
Both of them shook their hands for their business deal. He is very satisfied with their deal not that he would reject them in the first place…still he is very impressed. After the deal both of them had their lunch. His eyes would now and then steal a glance at her but she never paid any attention to it. She is just eating her lunch. Wanting to strike a conversation but at the same time not wanting to be labelled as flirt at their very first meeting…he was thinking very hard for the suitable topic…hah!! This is so unlike him…he was never the one to start a conversation. It is always other way around. But it is not big deal…he is doing this for his Zay. He would do anything for her…even his lif— nope stop that thought…if he gives away life that easily then how will he spend eternity with her…not happening he wants to spend eternity with her.
He was so immersed in his thoughts that he didn't notice she is looking at him for some time. If only he had known he would have jumped in happiness.
"Is there any particular reason for your choice of this hotel Mr. Krighsten?" she asked curiously.
"Why do you ask Miss Heldon?" he asked coolly with small smile.
"As far as I know there is a hotel name Four Season near Innova Corporation which is also under Innova…which is easiest for you. Isn't it?" she asked.
"What if I came from different location?" hoping to have a normal conversation with her, he asked.
" You didn't " she replied.
"How are you so sure?" he asked back to prolong the conversation. Even though he knows the answer to his own question. That's because his Zay has weird habit of checking everything out before meeting someone outside her office. Literally checking every single thing in her surrounding, checking the schedule of the person whom she is gonna meet, security checking of every appointment placed in that place at that particular meeting time . She will make sure not to let anyone touch her…at present also he knows that this place is surrounded by her bodyguards. In the business world everyone knows this… they assumed it to be high security and safety measures. He doubt it that is as simple as it is.
"Do you really expect me to reply back?" she replied back.
"Never mind" he chuckled "I know…to answer your question…yeah this Paradise Inn is very special place to me" because this where I first saw you… he answered with a warm smile without that words which he badly want to say to her. His words made her movement halt for a millisecond which went unnoticed. She resumed to eat without asking anything. He sighed in defeat. He knew very well this is end of their conversation. He badly wanted to continue talking to her. But he doesn't want to push it…even if he himself asks her to ask back the question why…she would simply say no need.
This is where he first saw her. She was sitting in the table near ceiling to floor window watching the beautiful night city view. He just completed one business meeting and saw her when he about to go to lift. With a far away look in her bluish grey eyes. She didn't seem to wait for someone instead it is like she was reliving some memories. On her table there was chocolate ice cream but she didn't touch it one bit. He halted in his way and continue to watch her. Something in him told him that she is the one. He didn't even know the reason. But he strongly felt it. Maybe because she had that far away look in her eyes??…he doesn't know. Snapping out of his thoughts he continued to eat his lunch.
They completed their remaining lunch in silence a comfortable one.
