Rick

I have checked once more at reception, the same reply, there was no call from Ms. Davis. I banged the phone angrily, it has been a week and she didn't turn up yet. Not even called, hope she is fine. As per our scheduled appointment she should have been here but there is no sign of her. During this month, she has impressed me with her professionalism, her creative mind and optimistic approach on her work, I never knew this side of her, I always thought she hates corporate life and have only imagine living her like princess. Yeah, her first sign of changes.

In past month, if I have done anything that would be observing her every little movement, I can happily spend my whole life watching her beautiful face. I was in my Jen's world when Ryan barged in my cabin, I groaned unhappily. Ryan Richards, the multi-billionaire who owns half of this country, the arrogant egoistic bastard just like me, comes in the list of few on whom I trust blindly but for now his presence flustered me.

"Hey bro, someone looks in a rocking mood" he couldn't hide his sly smile observing the broken phone.

"What do you want Ryan?" I asked exasperatingly, not interested to take part in his childish play.

"Aye man, why not put your face muscles to work little? Just pull the cheek muscles to the corner of your lips and..."I'm already suffering a throbbing pain in my temple thinking about Jen, and Ryan's stupid babbling doing worse on me.

"Cut the craps Ryan, don't have any work, if not then shag one of your assistant better than screwing my brain." I snapped on him, his facial expression hardened.

"Nobody dare to use this tone with me, you are my bro therefore I ignore your arrogance but it doesn't mean I can always tolerate this" he calmly said fixing serious gaze on me. I know he carry lots of clout over people, he won't hesitate to show his most influential part. However, he never shows his attitude to me, he treats me with more respect just because he thinks I helped him at his lowest phase of life but he didn't know unknowingly he gave me my life back, and I owe him my life for this. If he would have not stopped me from leaving this country, I could have never known about my Jen.

"Are you threatening me Ryan?" I asked, though I knew it was an empty threat, he smiled.

"Got scare?" he asked in return.

"Yep, completely shivering ... happy?" I smirked.

"See, I have that impression over people" I cocked my brow to him in disbelief, he burst into fit of laughter.

"Well, I came here to have a serious discussion on Ms. Davis" Now he got my all attention.

"What about her?" On mention of her name those words instantly slipped out from my mouth, I will punch him if he starts his poor jokes on my Jen.

"Dyna recommended me a good event organizer, they are best and very experienced in their industry, you were right Karen is not the best choice for our project." He is thinking to replace Jen, damn if he thinks he can.

"I never said they are not" I defended.

"I can see you are not happy with Ms. Davis work, it's been a month yet no progress" I cut him in between.

"Exactly Ryan, it's been a month, I wasted the fucking whole month, when result is about to come you want the new team, I don't understand your working style Mr. Richards" I sarcastically asked Ryan, how could he thinks Jen is not a good choice, she is brilliant at her work.

"Oh, you look impressed with Ms. Davis..I mean ..with her work, I thought otherwise..." he skeptically glared at me with tight smile.

"You are wrong again, I am not interested in her nor impressed with her work. This is about my invested time, if she has worked on my last suggestion then our event would be the most significant event of the year and trust me after this we don't have to spend much on advertising." I meant this, if this goes according to our projection this would be a bigger event and actually I want this to happen, for Jen.

"So you don't like her, good for me" he said wickedly, I didn't like his comment. Good for him means what? I want to warn him to keep his eyes off from my girl but I can't, not until I claim my girl. For now this is better I don't acknowledge his filthy words, his eyes on me to see my reaction and when he didn't get any he continued.

"I actually agree with you, I have seen the plan and I love it but I thought you have an issue with Ms. Davis which can cause a problem to our project. You haven't even met her yet" he has a point, I have to meet her eventually at a point, I cannot hide myself forever from her. My heartbeats got hitched even thinking of meeting her, this is an epic, Rick gets afraid to meet a girl, my mind snapped she is not any girl, she is Jen.

"I have other important work than meeting her, maybe I will see her today, hope she has prepared her plan" I hopefully looked at him, he might be knowing something about her.

"She is not coming today, she emailed me her presentation with a note" I furrowed my brows, what note?

"Don't look at me this way, not everybody can take your piss. She clearly mentioned, this is the last thing she can do and still if we are not satisfied, we can look for another one and she would return our advance payment as earliest." She has made up her mind to run away from me, I know she felt my presence last time. Not this time Jen..

"She is not in the position to demand, we can sue her for wasting our one month and ask for penalty." I told angrily.

"And we are not gonna do any such things, she did her job fantastically" Ryan announced covering her strongly, this does ignited my furry.

"You are totally on her side, she must be doing something special to you" I griped my table tightly until my knuckles became white, I know Ryan has charm to grab attention of any women, he is women's man. Is that possible he has earned the interest of Jen too, she called him on his phone about her decision inspite of calling on reception. A pang of jealousy hits me hard, like a fist right in my guts, making me wonder what I would do if he positively says yes, less he would announce his romantic intention for her. Shut the hell up Rick, you are being irrational.

"Let me know Rick if you have taken a hard fall or hit your head, you are talking nonsense. I will take your leave then, I have an important meet to attend" with this he walked to the door and stood there holding the knob.

"I am emailing you her final presentation, let me know your call" he turned before he exit I called him.

"Ryan, it's time to meet her. Can you invite her for dinner today, we will sort the things once for all" In return he smiled and said.

"Thank god, you came to your senses, I will ask Jenny to fix up the appointment with her, bye bro" I smiled back to him, he left closing the door behind. I leaned back to my chair and tension overtook me as my shoulder creep towards my ears. How would she react seeing me after that fateful day? When she will find about me, she herself quit this contract and run away from me.

I opened the drawer and pulled out the file which has sent by my investigator, it has the record of Jen's past whole years since she came to this city. Nothing much noticeable things, she ended up at Karen when she was new to this city, a very sassy and bossy around her staff, much to my relief she has no relationship history though Mrs. Karen fixed up few dates for her. She shares a good bond with Mrs. Karen and Mrs. Karen loves her too like her own. Mrs Karen, the widow who has huge loans on her shoulders of her dead husband. Hmmm... quite interesting, this project definitely means a lot to Mrs. Karen and as far as I know Jen, she would do anything for her loved ones. Hope weakness of Mrs. Karen can work in my favor.

Jenny confirmed me the dinner appointment at 7pm, I asked her to book open Sea Phase side Hotel, Jen loves the seashore and breezy winds while eating. This thought made me smile, I missed those day when nobody was around us, only she and me.

I am damn reckless and nervous, I left early from office. Finally today I'm going to meet her, I can hear her beautiful voice and can see deep into her beautiful brown eyes. The stupid emotions are filling my chest, overwhelming me. I thought I'm going to teach her a lesson for leaving me, for all the suffering and misery she caused to me by breaking my heart, but that's not what I wants to do right now. This is hysterical, because what I want to do is to bend on my knees and beg her to come back in my life. This life is nothing without her, God only knows how I survived this whole year without her, a year had been so lonely and miserable without her. I almost tried to suicide taking high dose of drugs, to end this life because this life is punishment for me if Jen is not on my side. I breathed hard, that moment, he realized he can do anything for her, begging, weeping, anything... he has no shame as he would happily swallow his pride for Jen..

After bath, I'm standing before my wardrobe, I am the kind of person who is not afraid for his appearance but today is different, I want to look good and appealing as I have to woo my love. I scratched my head when I blushed on the thought of wooing Jen, thank god nobody is watching me, this could be embarrassing. Hell, Jen, what have you done to me.

I checked my suits, matching tie.. confused what should I choose, I closed my eyes in frustration...then I recollected her words.. "White is your color Rick".

I breathed heavily, so white then.. I wore a white shirt, set my hair the way she used to like. Once more I checked my reflection on the mirror, I straighten my coat. This can't be you Rick, nervousness and you doesn't fit together. I smiled, I checked my wrist watch, 6pm...few more minutes Jen.. I know you would be angry first, you will accuse me for trapping in this deal and you will ask for quitting, when I would not allow you, in frustration you will start shouting and screaming at me and when I will take you in arms, you will melt.. Then I beg for your forgiveness scooping you in my arms and won't leave you until you accept me in your life...that's a plan.

I stop my car near flowers store, she doesn't fancy the big bouquets, I chose a simple red rose for her. This would definitely warm her heart, I hide this in my pocket. Damn traffic, I thought I would be on time but it looks I will be late. Ryan buzzed me twice to check on me, after wasting half an hour in traffic, gradually I reached at venue. She must be there inside, I gathered my courage and walked inside. I looked around for a while, my gazed stopped to the table. I saw Ryan and Jenny but my eyes glued on a figure, my heart skipped a beat as I saw her. She is wearing a simple green dress, the wind is playing with her hair, I glanced around nonchalantly to calm down myself, mentally whispering encouraging quotes to myself. My gaze again turned to her, my breathing stopped contemplating the thought of meeting her in real, I choked up when my lips curved her name in a soft whisper, and magically I found her posture changed, she became rigid at her place and suddenly she looked back in my direction like she heard my call. Our eyes met and I forgot to breathe.

Everything blurred before my eyes except her, I summoned towards her, in our separated year she has grown more beautiful, her eyes showed disbelief first then widened in a shock and later became cold. Her all emotion wiped away from her face abruptly, she returned back to her position and it tugged my heart. I didn't expect that. I was in my tremor when I heard Ryan's voice.

"Hey bro, come here" I half-heartedly smiled.

"You are late Mr. Adam, though I'm not complaining as I have two beautiful companies." He is in his usual self.

"Ms. Davis, let me introduce my partner Mr. Rick Adam" he casually introduced me to Jen. I thought she will walked out from here or throw her angry glares towards Ryan or me but her response contradicting from her real nature.

She forced a small tight smile on her face, she tucked her loose hair behind her ears and stretch her hand towards me.

"Hello, Mr. Adam. I'm Jennifer Davis from Karen" She confidently looked at me straight in the eyes and her face is blank from emotions. She doesn't even hesitate blurting her last name when she knew I know who she is. I sucked my breathe in surprise and took her hand for a firm handshake, a minor touch of her created jolting sensation in me, I can feel the high voltage current run over my vein but she doesn't look affected at all. She removed her hand from me and started conversing with Ryan addressing about our final decision. I have a second thought about her identity, is she really my Jen or just a replica of her. She has crushed my heart the way I'm crushing the rose of my pocket, thorns of roses doesn't sting me badly in a manner her distant eyes pinching my heart. My love, my excitement replaced by the anger... how could she abandoned my presence...if this is what she wants then I will also show her what happens when you are on a wrong side of Rick..wait and watch..
