Miss Clemson reclined in her seat and watched the show unfolding before her. She sneered coldly, they were purely jealous of her because of the numerous resources in her hands and also because of her age and reputation in the industry.
"Miss Garrison, do you mean that the number of contestants for the audition should be increased? if that should be done then the conditions have to be raised as well else our reputation will be soiled".
The other lady who has opposed her earlier was quiet and couldn't refute her question.
As per age, she was the youngest among them and age seemed to see through their little tricks. Of course, who wouldn't want to get their people into Dax media?
The director for talent hunting was born between nationality and favouritism. He was clearly on Miss Garrison's side between the unspoken affair between them.
"Director, I think a line should be drawn between private affairs and work. I hope we have an understanding".
People in the industry naturally know what she is talking about and by then Miss Garrison's facial colour alternated between blue and red.
Leaving them behind, she walked back to her office and made a call to Violet. The latter was sleeping after an exhausting and passionate session. Lucas looked at the person calling and sighed. He took the phone and stepped out of the bedroom in a bid not to disturb her and answered it in a hoarse voice. Miss Clemson was shocked to hear the boss's voice nevertheless she calmly related her message.
Lucas made arrangements for her future schedule and readjusted some parts. The little woman was still sleeping peacefully.
The way she slept made him want to bully her again and again. His lips curled up in satisfaction and he reminisced on their passionate moment a while ago.
Violet's grandma, Aarna was responding to the treatment and was regaining consciousness at a fast rate. The family of four went out to have fun. Their family costume was so eye-catching Lucas who hated bright-coloured clothes couldn't help but curl his lips in happiness when the kids complimented him.
Since the previous night was so tiring for violet, he had contacted the chefs to make pastries for the picnic. They even prepared fruits and so much food. Violet couldn't help but marvel at the man's meticulous attention to detail of things.
They boarded a vehicle to a theme park, passing through a VIP entrance was a piece of cake to Lucas because this was the most famous, expensive and biggest theme park in Delhi. He, of course,e, was the largest shareholder but how would these ignorant fools of workers know hence they were treated just like regular rich people?
Lucas had a high-level suite reserved for him. He rarely had an interest in this property which he acquired at a whim or moment of laziness and this led to many of the staff not knowing his true identity because he never showed up.
They didn't do endure like other people because he brought out his diamond card, and the staff doesn't dare treat him like before.
The staff aided the kids in choosing fun events and costumes for such events. Natalie went all out in participating in all the events. Some of the events were parents'' kids' events, Violet dragged Lucas to join in the fun. He kept a cool-like ok on his face which made his woman poke his cheeks but he grabbed her finger and byte it.
Electric current coursed through her body and she gasped. She forgot that they were in the public and were lost in the man's blue orbs.
The noise in the environment woke her from her daze.
The next game was to be played by kids who were smart, fast and had a high intelligent quotient. Natalie join but a certainly mixed-race kid had grudges against her because she and her brother had won medals in the previous fun sessions.
So he sought an opportunity to seek revenge against Natalie because he realized that she was smarter than Nathan.
He looked too big for a kid of four years old. He set himself next to Natalie and later mocked his naive self in her heart. "Big fool", she muttered.
The boy grew up in America and he came for a holiday in India hence he knew from the movement of her lips what she said. He looked agitated and couldn't focus anymore.
That was the last game for the day and whoever won would receive many benefits. Lucas made the rules because he knew how powerful that little girl was. He looked so relaxed as he watched the show before him but Violet was anxious and kept tugging the corner of her costume. He squeezed her hands, warmth permeated through and it calmed her racing heart.
The game was introduced and the rules were read out, no cheating! The mother of the boy went to the staff in charge of the events could they accept it when the boss's kid was participating in the game from the look of things the little girl is absolutely stunning and highly intelligent.
Natalie knew how best to attack the opponent's weak point. She had observed him and knew how best his temperament works. Provoking him would be the best way to deal with him, she had these little tricks up her sleeves.
Giving him a provoking smile, Barry got agitated the more and because he couldn't lay his hands On her due to the rules, he became flustered and sought to win the game by all means.
Halfway through the game, he realized that he was getting more and more nervous. He pushed himself passed the limit but couldn't keep up and he was eliminated. Natalie's bewitching smile made him lose his sense of reasoning and he sought to beat her up. Barry was restrained and lectured by the staffs, the mother couldn't help but lower her head in shame. she scolded her useless son in anger, couldn't he have dealt with the girl without embarrassing himself? he had made her loose face in the public. She is a famous model in America and only came to visit the grandparents.
The next part of the game tested the kids' memory ability. All the positions of the pictures were arranged they were allowed to study for few minutes before it was scattered in a complicated way. They had to put back the pieces together within a limited time.
Natalie just glanced at the picture anddanand and told the staff that she was set to play the game. The staff thought she was arrogant and snorted. Natalie smiled and vowed to make her eat her words.
The game started and with her excellent photographic memory, she put the pieces back together within a blink of an eye and waited for the rest of the contestants. The girl beside her was jealous and sought to frame her so that she could be eliminated. Natalie who knew exactly what she was thinking didn't allow her to do so.Hence, she handed over her work to the staff in charge of her.
The results came out and she won. Most of the parents wished to have a daughter like her. She looked so cute and beautiful, Natalie's eyelashes were so long like butterfly wings. Nathan also came first in another type of game.
They were given a diamond access card, top level suite and all privileges not open to ordinary people in the theme park. Since the theme park was under Clayton's croup of industries, they were given access to any of the subsidiaries and the kids can be used to advertise any of their products with a twelve digit renumeration.
Barry's mom sent berserk with envy, jealousy and anger. This should have been hers, her son should have taken all of these. She must remember these and pay them back in their coin, yes she must take revenge. She won't accept defeat.
The happy family of four was not aware of the plot and scheming of the woman below the stage.
Both Lucas and Violet took each of them and hugged them. Lucas we still amazed at her ability to remember every detail of that picture, the more he looked at her, the more connection he felt. He hadn't had time to revisit the issue of paternity test anymore. The result was negative, he was not related to the kids. They didn't share any blood relations.
Just then Lucas's phone rang, he answered and sighed.
"Your grandma is awake and demands to know if you came. She wants to see you, can we go now?"
Violet's heart skipped a beat, her grandma is awake.
"Let's go... quick, hurry", she stuttered in excitement.
The vehicle took them directly to the hospital.
The aunty and cousins were in the outer room. Violet rushed into the sterilized room and hugged the grandma who had sat up and was staring into thin air.
Aarna rubbed her hair and face tenderly while tears were dripping from her eyes.
"Prisha"
"Grandma"
"Is this you? I never thought I would see you again. I thought....."
"Shhhh", she hushed the old woman. "Grandma, let's just savour this moment. Nothing was ever going to happen to me".
After an emotional moment, the duo separated and Aarna still held her hands.
Lucas brought the two kids to see the old woman, his height and handsome face had already taken over the old woman's sight that he failed to see the two kids.
"Prisha, who is he?", she smiled while revealing a set of fine dentitions. Aarna had been a beauty in her days, all the men who came across her wanted her.
"Grandma, he is my...."
"Fiance", Lucas completed and Violet gave him a hard stare. Why would he say that?
"Oh, my grandson-in-law is so handsome. Your grandfather was like this when he was younger", she sighed as she remembered the good old days.
"Hello, great grandma", Natalie came out from behind Lucas and waved at her. Aarna was attracted to the little voice and when she looked in the direction of the voice, her breath hitched and she lost it. Her vitals signal was weak and beeped red.
"Doctor, doctor", Violet shouted and was anxious such that she cried out loudly. The trio outside came in and witnessed this sight.
"Grandma was already fine, what made her slip into unconsciousness again?", Diya asked.
"I believe cousin Prisha should have an answer to that. Humph! You are already causing trouble immediately grandma is awake", Navya snorted.
" You don't have the right to talk to my mommy that way", Nathan's little face looked cold and the trio thought they were hearing things. Who is this little boy? What is he doing here? Wait, he said mom?
"Prisha, Is this your son? You never told me you had a child. Is your boyfriend the father?" Saanvi asked.
Violet who was wailing stopped abruptly when she heard Nathan call her mom, it kept ringing in her ears. All Saanvi said didn't make sense to her, all she was thinking about was what the little boy said.
"Mom, she has kids, not just a child", Navya pointed at Natalie.
Saanvi took two steps backwards, could she be dreaming? Her face turned pale and she clenched her fist.
"She is back, no, no. She can't be back", she kept changing in her heart.
"What's wrong with mom?" Diya asked Navya and the latter shrugged nonchalantly.
The doctor came and examined Aarna's vitals.
"She has just been shocked by what she heard or saw".
Lucas's phone rang and he picked it up.
📳"Boss, we have good news"
📳"Speak up"
📳"We have a lead on the investigation. We are yet to confirm it but he seems to be so close".
📳"What about the woman?"
