''Hey Liz be prepared Mr. Ashton will be here soon'' Mel informed me while putting the receiver. Sh*t ! I don't want to be jobless. Please God do something!!

It is about a week after the whole incident of me and Ben cleaning the office and then Mr. Ashton's harsh attitude. Thank God! The mark given by him on my arm was gone now. He then threatened me to dismiss from the job and now i came to know that he was serious and now his father Mr. Jacob Ashton is coming here today. I don't know what is my fault... to came in his way on the very first day?  Or To think him as a gangster and behaved like a three years old? Or argue with him on the cctv camera? Or to tell him the son of a..... oh God!!

Suddenly the elevator door opened and revealed both the son and the father with Mr. Peterson trailing behind them. I stood and nodded towards them. They went straight to the office. Sh*t! No response from them that means....

''I am fired...'' i expressed my thought loud. Mel looked at me and give a pitiful look.

''Am...i..LATE?'' Ben said after tripping to the nearby couch. We both rolled our eyes at her clumsiness and at her always late entries.

''Yes you are. And you are going to be fired today.'' Mel said straight to her face. She was shocked.

''Wh...why..''

''Because of this...'' Mel said implying her incident that occured mere seconds ago. And then ofcourse Ben's tears started to roll down her cheeks.

Mr. Jacob Ashton's P.O.V

I was in a vacation with my wife Marian Ashton on a sunny beach when suddenly my personal number started ringing. It was of... James? Must be an important call then.

''Hi son. How ar...''

''I want you to fire my assistants'' what? Is he serious?  ''Dad just fire them out or will do it by myself''

''But what is the matter? Everything is seem to be....''

''No i dont want to listen to anything dad!''

''Okay''

''Bye dad''

''Bye son''

I know he is never going to listen to me on the phone and he seems to be very mad. Why he want to fire them?? Oh...hahahaha..

''Are you alright dear'' my beautiful wife asked me.

''Hahaha..yeah ofcourse..it was your son''

''How is he? Why he called? Is he alright?''

''It hurts'' i said putting my hands on my chest.

''OMG! What happen?''

''Nothing. You don't love me anymore. You always care for your son.'' I fake pouted. Her expression changed from worried to anger. She was glaring at me.

''Stop your drama Mr. Ashton and tell me why he called? He hardly call us.'' She said sternly.

''Actually....oh yes...we are going back to home. We are having a party for his company. He had a successful month. Only in a month his company progressed more than a little.'' I said hoping she will have it because the idea of the party came to my mind at the last moment.

''And you are telling me now.'' She said giving an accused look.

''Yes sweetheart and now hurry we need to pack the party is on this sunday''

We got the first flight and went home. The next morning the first thing i did was to call my son.

''Hey son i am on the way to your office.''

''Good'' then the line was cut. wow! What a response from a son to a father. He must be angry as i haven't fired his assistants.

I know why you both want me to fire those two. Hahaha... boys will be boys. They didn't know that i hired them on purpose. I have seen the record of Miss Liza Miller and she never had a boyfriend that concluded that she is not interested in relationships or maybe boys and the other one is too shy to notice men. I have been watching them as they entered the office for the interview and they never gave a glance towards the men and even towards the player Mr. David Peterson who was standing near the entrance that time. I knew they would be perfect for the job for my two players who never miss a chance to have their way with girls. The office building was near so i parked the car and saw two of them waiting for me. I nodded towards them and started walking towards the elevator. I know both of you too well!! sons!! and you both are frustrated with the two girls as they are not paying you a penny attention. I chuckled at the thought.

I saw the girls standing nervously. I nodded and went to James' office. As soon as the door was shut...

''Dad! Why are they still working here i told you to fire them already'' he barked.

''Manners son. And by the way first i want to know the reasons''

''Okay...this girl Miss Benny Wilson is very clumsy. She always come late and never speak a word.''

''Oh..i see..is she giving your meals and coffee on time?''

''Yeah...but...''

''Yes she is and on time always. She is doing for me too.'' Dave replied hurriedly and James gave him a quizzical look.

''Okay fine then fire the other girl.'' James said.

''No. I will not. Because you didn't know that your company has improved very much on the very first month.'' I said sternly.

''Yeah because of me. Because i did all the hard work and gave all my time to this company. And if you are not firing her then i will do it myself.'' He said angrily.

''Easy there son. Don't be over confident. You got the better assistance from her to acheive this. And as for firing then you can't do this because the company is still under my name and i will hire and fire.'' I chuckled.

He said nothing but stormed out of the office. And Dave too gone now. I went to the hall where the three girls were.

''Hey girls! What are you doing here? Don't you have work to do? And yes...be ready this sunday there will be a party for the successful month. Enjoy!'' I said with a wink and they all were shocked to hear what i just said.

Liza's p.o.v:

We were shocked to hear him say that. This means...we are not...i am not...OMG!!

''Hey congrats both of you'' Mel laughed at our expressions.

''I am so happy'' i squealed and hugged Ben.

''Why not celebrate it'' Ben said happily.

''Sure this saturday night''

''Go enjoy girls its your day. And i am not free on saturday night so you two have fun.'' Mel said sadly.

The week went by doing regular works and Ben has stopped doing lates. We are doing our work with more passion and care. I really don't want to be fired!

Mr. James Ashton never called me. He always emailed me my works.Mr. Peterson is also seem to lose interest in this floor and hardly comes here now. Today is saturday that means we will be working till 2 p.m. I finished all my work and arranged everything in my office then Ben entered.

''Hey are you done?'' She asked.

''Yeah..almost'' i said putting the last file and went out with Ben. We could hear some noises from the hall and there he was Mr. James Ashton talking to Mel. As soon as we went near he is out to the elevator.

''Hey! Sorry...you will not be able to able to celebrate tonight.''

''Why?'' I gave her a questioned look.

''Mr. Ashton wants both of you to take care of all the arrangements for tomorrow's party. The party will be held at the terrace of this building and you need to look after the needs of the event manager and their team. And they will be here tonight to complete half of the decorations so you both are needed here.'' She said pursing her lips.

Disappointment was clearly visible an our faces. But we have to do it for the sake of the job.

*******

''I think everything is perfect and its too late. We should go home now, the rest can be done tomorrow.'' I said to the manager who nodded in agreement.

''Turn off the main switch. We should...'' he started ordering his men but cut off by the rough voice and the lights were off at that instant.

''I want to have a look at the decorations'' he demanded.

''Sure sir why not. Guys put on the lights.'' He again ordered and the whole terrace lit up with colourful lights. Someone called the manager as there was some problem in the connections and he went leaving us with Mr. Ashton.

''I want a coffe now.'' He ordered to Ben.

''Y..yes..sir..sure...'' she stammered and went to the stairs as the elevator ends at the floor just below the terrace. So now i was alone with him and he was few feet away from me. He was wearing a jeans? And a grey colour one button up t-shirt whose sleeves are rolled upto his elbows. Before i could see his face everything turned black. Woah!! I...i...can't see a single thing. He took out his mobile phone for some light and i hurriedly moved towards him and clutched his elbow. Sh*t!!  His hand was so warm.

''I...i am sorry...but i am scared of darkness..'' i said and clutched his arm with both my hands and looked everywhere in hope that it will be litted up soon. He hold my right hand with his left hand and my left hand was still clutching near his elbow. This time i noticed how closed we were...my whole right side is touching its left side. I felt my grasp tighten on his hands not because i was giving pressure but...but...he is now grasping it tightly and i now felt a little squeezed by his side. Sh*t! I am shivering by this close approximity. My eyes almost popped out as i felt something at...at my...upper part...at the side of my soft upper part...sh*t! His elbow is touching there.. but he is not leaving my hand rather it is becoming more tight. I tried to free my hand but he never let me...

''Si...sir...'' i said looking at the floor. And then the terrace lit up and his hold loosen. He looked at me in shocked and then his expression changed to anger and he stormed towards the stairs. I was sweating now...why was i feeling so weak? You could have snatched your hand from him. But i felt like there was no strength left in my body.... i heard some yelling from the stairs and so i ran towards it...
