ISABELLA POV:
Everyone was busy in the office, today was the day when our super Boss will be coming to visit. Grace was super tensed from the morning, I was trying my best to finish all my pending work because I knew I would be under a lot of pressure from tomorrow. I have to think as well as edit everything whatever our Boss would say.
"Hey, girl, what do you plan to wear tonight?"
Charlie, I don't have any time to think about those things. I have loads of pending work, which I have to finish very soon.
"But tonight everyone is wearing black outfits, I don't think you have a black outfit.so I am really worried about what you are going to wear Bells."
Oh, Charlie pie you are so cute. Ya, I don't have a black gown but who cares, I have a small black backless top, and I will wear it with jeans. It's just an informal party, not something formal Charlie, so don't worry.
"I knew you would say this, so I have already booked you a black slit dress".
No way again you have wasted your money? I told you so many times Charlie, you never listen.
" I consider you my family Bella, so I will do whatever I wish".
Ok mommy, now let me finish my work, I will meet you at lunch.
"Ok baby girl, don't take too much stress".
I was editing some parts when suddenly my office phone rang.
Hello,
"Hi Bella, our Boss, and his family will be coming soon, so can you make a list of all the books under Fiction, Romance, and Fantasy which has been edited and given for printing in the last 2 month?"
I already have that list Grace, I am sending you just now.
"Oh thank you so much, Bella, I am just so nervous, I just hope, they like everything."
Don't worry Grace, everything will be alright.
"Bella, can you help me out a bit more, Just go down to the lounge area, where our party is going to take place, and just see how are the preparations going, I know I am putting a lot of pressure on you, but I can't trust everyone here Bella, so if you want to do any changes, just inform me, and tell them to complete everything by 6 pm."
Grace but I don't have any idea about decorations, how will I justify it?
"I have full faith in your creativity Bella, just see everything has to be a bit simple because our Boss doesn't like too much flashy, that's it."
Ok, I will try my best Grace.
I was so damn nervous, I have never done decorations in my life. Yes, Charlie is in the marketing team, he sure must have some idea.
Hello Charlie, I need your help asap, come and meet me downstairs.
"Ok give me 5 mins, just let me save everything."
I was waiting for Charlie, and finally, he came.
Charlie, Grace has asked me to go and watch the party area and see whether the decorations are finished or not, she also told me IF I think something is not looking Ok, I can change it.
"Grace is really sweet with you, with others she acts so cold."
Oh shut up now, and please help me out, I know you have some experience in decorations, and one more thing, the theme should be simple not too much flashy.
"Oh ok, let's go then".
As we reached the venue, I was shocked instead of light and simple colors everywhere was flashy gold and red color. We have to change this asap.
I immediately spoke with the decorators and suggested some simple and classy colors. Next, Charlie and I went to the food section and confirmed everything, thank God at least the food section was alright. Finally, we went to the stage and spoke about all the sound and music functions. I told them to finish everything by 6.
"Bella you need to sit a bit, you are going on running so much."
Ok, let's go to that café and have our lunch also. Meanwhile, I will notify everything to Grace.
As we were going to cross the road, a big white Mercedes rushed towards us, and for a fraction of sec I thought we were going to die, But then I saw Charlie pull me close to his body, and calm me down.
What the hell, who the hell drives like that? I will sue that person Charlie.
"Calm down Bella, look someone is coming out, I think they also want to apologize."
Suddenly I heard a familiar voice, which I thought I will never hear.
"Jerry, we don't need to speak with those idiots, who can't even cross roads, just look at them being so lovey-dovey that they don't have time to look at the road on both sides, while crossing, such useless people."
"I am sorry Miss, my brother is always hot-headed, he was trying to reach his office as soon as possible so was driving a bit faster."
Tell your brother some habits never change, just then the moment I dreaded most in my life came in front of me.
"Really I never thought we will meet the same way, Miss Manners, but you are right some habits never change like you were careless last time, and this time too it's your fault, you don't know how to cross a road."
I was fuming, but I chose to ignore him and behave as if I don't know him. I will pretend just that.
"Bella who is this? and he is talking with you as if you both know each other."
I will tell you everything later Charlie, but first, we have to get out of here.
I just ignored him and Charlie held my hands and we both left from there.
I heard him say,
"I see emerald eyes, you have forgotten me, or are you trying to ignore me, let's see how much time you can ignore me."
