Stacy’s POV
It’s a beautiful Saturday morning; I had just opened my eyes
lying on my bed hugging my soft pillow, with my blanket covered over my body.
My room is very simple and white in colour and the sunlight entering through
the glass window made it look even better and cozy. I always wake up to the
pictures of my parents and remember my time with them and miss them each
morning. But that is what life has for me and now I have started accepting it.
After an hour I was ready and went straight to the kitchen
for preparing breakfast and there she was……my friend and everything now Zoe.
“Hey! Good morning. I have prepared breakfast for us. Come
let’s have it. I am starving.” She said quickly while taking the food outside
on the table. We were having our breakfast together and suddenly my cell-phone
buzzed. I looked onto the screen and the caller was none other than my BOSS, so
I quickly answered his call. He called to remind me with everything he dictated
yesterday, which needed to be done today.
Mr. Faith and I arrived at the office at the same time. He
headed to his cabin and I started looking onto my list of things for today.
The first task was the meeting with Mr. Brown. I had to
accompany him to the meeting room so as to prepare the minutes later. Around 12
it got over and immediately after coming back to my room, I reconfirmed with
the Starview for the reservation I made yesterday for lunch. After confirming
the reservation and informing the same to Mr. Faith I went back to my work.
Because before the next meeting which was schedule at 4, I had to prepare the
minutes for the previous meeting and also have to confirm the presence of all
the participants for the next meeting.
In the meantime, a beautiful lady entered into my cabin. “Is
Zaroon available in cabin?” she asked me with her beautiful smile. And after I
confirmed his presence, she directly went to meet him. I thought she is his
girlfriend and probably that is the reason he had asked to book the table for
two. Possibly they are going on lunch date.
After Boss came back from his lunch, he confirmed for the
schedule of the next meeting and we both headed towards the meeting room
together. After the meeting got over, I again went back to my work as the
minutes were to be reproduced to him in an hour after the meeting. After an
hour and a half, I got a call on the intercom from him. He asked me if I was
over with the work to which I replied positive.
“Just get ready in five minutes, as you have to accompany me
for the Hotel Galaxy” he instructed. I was a bit nervous but also excited that
it’s my first time to perform anything beyond my desk and paper work. I was
ready exactly in 5 minutes and headed towards the elevator to meet him at the
reception gate at the ground floor. We both silently walked out of the building
and his car was waiting outside for us, so we got in and headed towards the
hotel. The car ride to hotel was also a silent one.
After a
while, we reached at the desired destination. The hotel looked the epitome of extravagance
and all the luxurious facilities, world class comforts and an amazing looking restaurant
was there inside the huge building. Mr. Faith was there to inspect the
facilities being provided and also for checking the customers’ satisfaction. He
was greeted with the upmost honour and I being with him was also given a
special treatment.
The round of the hotel went well and just at the end, the
manager requested us to extend our stay by an hour and spend that last hour in
the restaurant. To which Mr. Faith agreed. Actually that was a great way to see
the level of taste the hotel was serving to its customers. We headed towards
the restaurant. It was one of the best decorated places I have ever come
across. And although I was not lucky enough to see the rate card of the items
but surely it would have exceeded my entire budget limits if I had to pay here.
In short, it’s a place for the filthy rich people.
We were just sitting there and Mr. Faith was discussing some
issues with the manager when suddenly I saw Zoe. She came running towards my
direction and looked absolutely surprised to see me with the Handsome Greek God
looking man. Another reason for her shock would have been that I did not share
with her about my today’s visit which she might be thinking to be the date. I
could see her expressions getting wired towards me and my Boss so finally I cleared
all her doubts by introducing her with him saying that he is my Boss and I am
here for official visit. She seemed relaxed after hearing this but after
realizing my discomfort about her presence, she decides to take her leave. I
was also relaxed after her departure because till the time she was here, I was
worried about the fact that she may utter anything nonsense, because of her
happy go lucky nature, which my boss may not like and putting me in difficult
situation again.
Approximately after an hour, since we have entered the
restaurant, Boss finally showed a sign of winding up and we headed towards the
exit gate together. That’s when I lost balance and was about to fall onto the
floor, when he held me tight from my waist and helped me to regain my balance.
And just at that moment, I could hear some flash sounds and then we noticed the
shutter bucks and the reporters were surrounding us from all the four
directions. At that moment I felt really uncomfortable and went blank. Thank God,
Mr. Faith could understand my unsaid words and reacted to the situation well. He
kept holding my hand and dragged me towards the direction of his car. I was
confused and blank and also my heart was pumping irregularly. He placed me
inside the car from one side and got into the car from the other side. And immediately
when he locked the door, driver started the engine without wasting even a
single second more. The first question he asked, while holding my hand in the
car was “Are you alright?” That was the first time I felt that he also knows
how to care of someone, because that exactly he was doing. And especially when I
did not even asked!
“Everything is OK, there is nothing to worry. This is usually
the thing when I am out. You don’t have to get worried about it. That was just
the local news thing. The reporters are always looking for a chance to find out
what is happening in my life and that is why I am always in the focus of their
cameras.”
After his assurance, I felt a bit relaxed. “I am OK. Since this
is something I have ever encountered for the first time, so I went blank and
confused. But now I am fine.”
“Driver
let’s get onto the directions of Ms. Roseway’s house.”
“I am
fine and can manage to get home myself. You need not to bother sir.” I said,
after hearing his instructions for the driver.
“Since
we are late and it’s already 2 hours more than your usual office hours, so it’s
a part of my duty Ms. Roseway. There is no botheration. And don’t worry, you
will not be bothered to offer a cup of coffee as I just had my share of evening
coffee.” He said so as to make the atmosphere light and friendly.
I could
just smile and got dropped safely at my door step.
“Thank
you Mr. Faith. Good night.”
“See
you on Monday Ms. Roseway. Have a nice Sunday.” With this as his last sentence
of the day, he left. I could see his car running on the street.
