My Forever With You - Chapter 204

Ethan was about to leave when his way was block by Laila. When she found no one around she took the chance to talk to him.

“Ethan do you want a ride home” she asked hoping he would agree to her but his words pour water on her hopes.

“Sorry mam but my girlfriend must be waiting for me” saying this he took his office bag and walk from her side without sparing a glance at her.

This was the second time he had rejected her plainly just for the girl who was not even the reach of her shoe.

She had been working here for more than five years and have managed to build a strong position in the company but just because of this new girl who replace her father can never compete with her even if she tried.

Laila was very proud of her achievements and had always looked down on people who were not to her status. She was respected by everyone and she loved having upper hand on them. She had so wished to grab the chairman position because she knew the Andreas William’s daughter never step her foot in the company.

She thought it was a win win situation for her to take over the company and make her foot strong but everything changed when all of sudden Samantha was introduced as the the new CEO of the company destroying all her hopes and dreams. She felt dejected when the decision was took all of sudden without taking the members thought.

Laila saw Ethan walking inside the elevator. Her smile vanished and her eyes turned cold, fisting her hand into a ball she slam on the table in anger,” Both of them are annoying” she said looking at the direction from where Ethan went.

She can’t forget how he had smiled at her making her smitten for his charming smile. She had never failed in her life which made her a greedy person asking for more and more. Even if she had lost her position to Samantha she would make sure get her revenge by making Ethan fall for her.

Thomson Mansion

It was dinner time and everyone came down to have their dinner. Elena looked at Lucas who smiled at her but was ignored when she didn’t even saw him.

With heavy heart he went and sat next to her. The food was served and everyone started to have it. Lucas lifted his eyes up and scan everyone who was busy having their food.

Taking the chance he slowly put his hand down and grab Elena’s hand into his hold making her gasp. Signing her not to shout she compose herself and tried to free her hand only to get tightly held.

Leaning to her he whispered slowly,” Sunshine at least let me hold your hand” he said knowing that it was going to be hard for him to part from his wife.

He tried to let go of the thought but he couldn’t as it came popping up whenever he saw Daniel. Both of them were thrown out and they knew if they tried any other stunt they would end up thrown out of the mansion.

Elena smiled making his lips curled up but soon he screamed,” Argh…”

Lucas stood up from his seat and held his leg which was badly crushed by his wife. Looking at her in disbelief Lucas saw her smiling making fun of his helplessness.

“What happen.. why are you shouting” Henry who was on the opposite side asked coldly.

“Ah.. nothing uncle it’s just a cramp…” lying Lucas again went back to sit watching the eyes which looked at his weirdly.

‘Even god wants to punish me’ he said inwardly and eat the food without creating any fuss.

Cynthia was working as the head chief in one of the hotel which was owned by Lucas. She had been getting praise for her tasty and mouth watering delicacies.

The day she had joined Cynthia had partially guess that it was all Lucas doing for clearing her license and again letting her work again. She was thankful for them and would always be.

Going into the changing room which was given for the staff Cynthia got changed when he phone started to ring.

Looking the caller she immediately took the call and spoke with her chirpy voice, “You came”

Lingaa on the other side smiled how happy she would get every time he would come and pick her from her work place.

“I am waiting come soon I have a surprise for you” he ended the call and waited for her to come out.

It didn’t took her long and she came out. Lingaa’s world had bloomed with colors and happiness with her in his life. The day’s of his misery ended when he got his family’s love and the love of his life back.

Getting out from the car he wide opened his arms watching her un towards him and he took her in his arm,” I missed you…” she said hiding her face in his chest.

Lingaa was out for the whole and he was given some work by Lucas. Not anyone doubting his action Lingaa had kept himself busy for the entire day. Now that he was done with his work the first thing he did was to pick Cynthia.

“Why didn’t you wake me up before you left” she pushed him showing her fake anger.

“Sorry but you looked so calm while you were sleeping I didn’t get the heart to wake you up”

Letting go of her anger she hooked her arm around his hand and asked,” Where is the surprise?” she peeked inside the car but didn’t see anything.

Was he joking just because he didn’t wanted to get scolded by her.

“Princess is very eager” he hummed looking her bright eyes which sparked watching him.

“Lingaa…” she pouted when he smiled making fun of her.

“We need to go there to see your surprise” opening the door Lingaa let her sit and walked on the other side.

Staring the engine the car drove away from the hotel.

Lucas had his dinner and excused himself getting indulge with some work. He thought maybe doing some work will divert his mind.

Inside the vast study Lucas sat on the couch with his legs stretched on the coffee table. He held a file in his hand and kept looking at it.

It had been twenty minutes but still he was not able to concentrate thinking about Elena.

“Will she fall asleep so easily without me” he said pulling out his attention from the file.

Here he was trying to get tired thinking maybe the sleep would finally reach his eyes but no… he as wide awake and active as hell.

He looked outside it was still dark with no sign of moon and star.

Taking a deep breathe he threw the file on the couch and stood up,” I will go and bring her back” he turn to leave but stopped remising her angry look.

“No no.. what if this time she would shut the door on my face” he touch his nose patting it and then again went to sit on the couch.

“Maybe I should just do some work” he took the file again and frowned,” Why are the letters upside down” he muttered..

‘Stupid you have hold the file upside down” his subconscious mind answered him back..

“Oh…”

Lucas was going out of his mind talking to himself. He had asked Daniel to go back to his room as he was not ready to share his bed with him.

He knew Daniel would make his bed a playground rolling all over in him in his sleep.

Lucas had a facetime in the morning and he didn’t wanted to look like a sleep deprived person with all those puffy eyes for the meeting.

‘Its really hard to concentrate’ he thought and again kept the file back but this time he walked towards his table and placed it neatly.

Taking his phone out he tried calling Ethan who have not been receiving his call since the evening.

The ring was going when the person finally picked up the call,” How can you ignore my calls you crack head” Lucas shouted loud enough for his voice to echo inside the entire room.

“I have been calling you since evening how dare you ignore them and not even call me back” Lucas letting his frustration out on Ethan who was calmly listening him.

Ethan knew his one and only friend inside out and this outburst of him was because he was getting irritated but this time he was not there to guess it by watching him live.

“Are you done!!  What is it that you want to tell” Ethan had got the news of Daniel’s and Maira’s wedding and yes they were going to head back this weekend to join for the preparation.

Lucas was utterly disbelief listening his friend acting all calm when he was boiling in irritation.

“Can’t you be soft with your words…” Lucas finally let go off his high voice and settle down to have a man to man talk.

“I am soft now speak”

After talking with him Ethan let out a loud chuckle on the other end making the man face turn sour.

“Do you think it’s funny?” Lucas gloomy face set the whole room turn dark.

He had called him to have some talk so that he would get some sleep but this Ethan was making fun of his helplessness.
