DAMIEN
I didn’t like the idea of letting Lilah stay alone in the house. I know it was safe and there wasn’t any threat since the guards were there and it’s in a well-protected area but still something didn’t feel right.
I walked out from the meeting room, adjusting my Rolex. The weather in here was damn humid and the fucking chances of rain were quite high. The fuck I didn’t even know why I’m feeling the urge to be back at home.
It’s just a day, and I was already acting like this.
Fuck!
I felt a hand on my left shoulder and turned to face Mr Santiago. “I hope the project to be successful, Damien.” He forwarded his hand for a shake. “Even though I have the least doubt otherwise.”
I gave him a firm nod, shaking his hand. “Indeed. I can assure you my full cooperation in this.” His face wrinkled up in a smile, nodding his head.
“I have my full faith. The Hotel project is even one of the most ambitious ventures of mine. Setting up on an unknown island in the Caribbean isn’t easy. When you have the least access source to there.”
“Yes, transportation is the topmost cons regarding all these but as I said, I will contact with the shipping and the aviation agency today itself.”
“Yes,” He nodded and again a smile took over his face. “This is the reason why I want to tie with you in this project, Damien. Starting from the scratch to success, you knows what emotions and ambitions are attached with the projects we took over.”
“Indeed. I agree.” His secretary walked put from inside the office, phone in hand.
“Sir, Ma'am is calling you for long.” I saw him taking in a surprise expression and took the phone. He looked at me, smiling a little. “I should take this otherwise you know, Rose…” I nodded at him and he turned and took the phone pressing against his ears.
“Yes, sweetheart?” his former the the hard tone seemed to have vanished into thin air. I saw him speaking in the call and walking away. “I will be there don’t worry… yes… I told…”
Did love do that to you?
I shook my head bringing myself back. The hell I was thinking of. I turned towards Ash and said, “Take with the aviation agency and set up a meeting by tomorrow.”
“Okay, Sir.” We walked out from the tall thirty storeyed building. It’s already afternoon and I don’t think I would be back before night. The entire day went into sight analysing and project discussion.
I walked into the car for the airport. Ash took the driving seat since I was having a bad headache so he opted to drive. I genuinely liked driving very much so most of the times I took over the driving seat.
I had been on caffeine since the last two nights, barely any sleep. This collaboration with Mr Santiago was very essential and thus it required constant work to present myself eligible to collaboration with such a big project.
However much high business man you get, there would always be this constant struggle of maintaining that position and that’s the challenge.
I heard my phone going off and I retrieved it out from my pants pocket.
It’s Grams.
“Hello, Grams.” I have actually forgotten about her visit and if I could remember well it’s the next week.
“Yes, I’m still alive. If you are asking that.” This old lady never gets over her sassy self. I almost rolled my eyes at her words.
“Why are you mad this time? Hmm?” I could hear a sigh from the other side and could imagine her sipping her favourite bubble tea.
“I have asked you to visit me and you didn’t.” I huffed shaking my head.
“You told me you’re coming over to stay for a few days. Why will I be going then?” She remained silent for a few minutes and I could tell she was retrieving back her memory.
“Oh yes.” Her voice bloomed with remembrance. “I remember now that’s why I was actually calling you. I will be coming next weekend and will stay for few weeks.” I didn’t know but a small smile crept up my lips at that.
I missed her. Not that I would ever gonna tell her otherwise she would tease me to no end.
“Okay, I will arrange your arrival and tickets. Should I send Ash to get you?” I heard Ash letting out a cough from my side and my eyes moved to him. His head ducked low and I know why the hesitation.
Grams was such a hugger and would pinch your cheeks to no end if she really liked you. And she liked Ash very much so now you could see his hesitation. She even feed him up to his throat that next day he couldn’t even attend the office. Her only concern was, one should take good amount of food instead of doing all these diets and her good amounts aren’t small at all.
“Yes, you can do that. He will help me in carrying the luggage.”
“Okay as you wish.” I was going to tell her that I would call her back later on when she spoke again.
“And Damien don’t forget about the girlfriend. I want to meet her and tell her to stay with you in the house till I’m there.” Her voice softened as she added. “I want to see you settled, En with a family of your own. Don’t run away from those happiness.”
I wanted to tell her that I didn’t have anyone in my life to be my girlfriend so from where would she get someone. But this was Grams and you could never win over her.
“If there will not be anyone, En, I’m not going to visit anytime soon. I knew from the start I have to take care of your love life.” I could feel the hotness in my cheeks at her words.
The hell she was talking.
“Haah! This old woman has to do so much of work.” She faked a sigh as if exhausted and I rolled my eyes.
Such an actress.
“Okay, now I have work to do unlike you so I’m disconnecting.” With that before I could say anything he cut the call.
