Chapter 7: The Billionaire's Desire


Its 10:00 at night and I am still thinking about the sweetest and cutest of all, Stacy. I don’t know why but I am not very confident about the fact that she will be able to live alone and manage everything on her own. But at the same time I know that she have been managing everything on her own since quite a long time but from the day I have seen her getting all blank in front of the rush of reporters, I don’t know why, but I felt that she is like a baby who is afraid of something that comes her way all of a sudden and something unusual which she is not ready for. I know anyone who would have been in her situation at that time must have behaved the same way but she was different. Instead of saving her own self by telling those idiots to stay away from her, she just zoned out and started crying like a baby. Probably this is what made me fall for her at that very moment.

I picked up my cell and without thinking of the time about being so late and all, I just dialed her number.

10:15 PM ringing …… in the very first ring, she attended my call.

“Good evening Sir! Do you want to know about the file, for which you were calling me, in the evening?”

“Stacy! First of all, how many times do I need to tell you that when you are not in office, please stop calling me Sir! And I just called you to ask if everything is OK with you? Since you are all alone in the apartment so I was a bit worried for you.”

“I am sorry for not remembering to follow your instructions Mr. Faith. And I promise that it will not happen again. And thank you very much for your concern, but I am doing absolutely fine and would there be any problem or need, I will surely let you know.”

“Ok then, sleep well and stay safe Stacy. Good night”

“Good night Mr. Faith.”

It’s a Wednesday morning and I am almost ready for the office after having my breakfast. I instructed the driver to take out the car. On my way to office, I usually check my files and appointments for the day. But today was different. I thought of calling Stacy.

09:30 AM ringing…… and without hearing from my side……

“Good morning Mr. Faith! How are you doing this morning? I am sure you must be on your way to office and in case you want me to join office today, please let me know. I will be happy to come.”

“Good morning Stacy! I am doing really well and hope you must have slept well at night. I am very much on my way to office and I think it’s better if you join only after the press conference. I am sure I will be able to figure out the time and final day by tomorrow. Rather I also want it to be over as soon as possible.”

“Thank you Mr. Faith. Wishing you a nice day ahead!”

“I wish the same for you too Stacy. Take care and you know whom you need to dial in case there is any need!”

“Yes I know! Thank you once again. Bye!”

          Office is going smoothly. Since I could manage to talk to her and everything is fine so I am not that stressed out and not even worried for anything. By in the afternoon I had to find out something from a file which was supposed to be in her cabin. I instructed my other PA to find out from her where that file is and hand it over to me asap. And she followed my instruction.

2:00 ringing…… Hello Miss Roseway. How are you doing? This is regarding a file which boss needs to have right now.

“Good afternoon Mrs. Muskaan. I am feeling little feverish since this morning but nothing much to worry as it will go away with some rest. And the files are on the left corner of my first locker. You please look out for the file there and in case you need any further help, please call me again.”

“Thank you Miss Roseway. I am sure there won’t be anything to bother you again. You please take some medicine and get some sleep. I will try not to bother you again. Just take the best care of yourself.”

“Thank you Mrs. Muskaan! I will take care of myself. You too have a nice day ahead.”

“Here is the file sir! In case you need anything else, please let me know”, Mrs. Muskaan said and kept standing until I waved her to go back as the file was sufficient for the moment.

          Its 5:25 in the evening and while working on the file I need to see its part file for some reference and that’s when I called Mrs. Muskaan again and instructed her to get the information about the same from Stacy. That’s when she told me, “Sir I think it’s not the right time to bother Miss Roseway, as she must be taking rest because she is not well since morning; and if the file is urgently required please allow me some time to search the same in your and her cabin .”

“What?” I stood up from my chair and in a shocked and annoyed voice I continued, “Why the hell you didn’t tell me the same in the afternoon? What were you waiting for?”

“I am sorry sir! But I thought it’s not that important to be told.”

I know that it’s just so foolish of me to shout at Mrs. Muskaan for such a rubbish thing because she is also right that since it’s not something related to office work so she avoided. But how should I make her understand that she is the most important one for me these days.

“It’s Ok! You may go now. And the file we can see tomorrow also as I just remember about one of my meetings in the evening so I have to rush now. You please pack up my table and set an organizer for tomorrow. And please don’t bother me until I call you myself.”

“As you say sir. Have a nice evening.”


I took my blazer from the back of the chair and rushed towards my car.
