My Unexpected Marriage - Chapter 27

Shanell knocked three times on the door.

“Come in”

Shanell heard the familiar cold voice and she opened the door and entered in the room. She saw Zeus at his desk working on his top. She walked towards the desk and stopped in front of the desk and cleared her throat so that Zeus could know her presence.

Zeus took his eyes from the top and saw Shanell. He immediately stood from his chair and walked around his desk, stopping infront of Shanell.

He looked at her and asked.

“Are you okay?”

Shanell didn’t understand what Zeus meant by asking her that. So she showed a puzzled look on her face and Zeus understood her confusion.

He slowly tucked the hair that fallen on her face back to behind her ear and cupped her face with his hands, then he looked into her eyes and said.

“I saw what happened at the entrance.”

Shanell was slightly shocked by his actions and hear him saying that, but she didn’t show it on her face. She smiled at him and she decided to tease Zeus so that she can know how will he react to her teasing.

“So you saw what happened but you still didn’t react to it. Now I think about it, I guess I have to say that the rumour I heard is true.”

Zeus’s expression changed hearing her. He never thought that Shanell will come to know about the ‘rumour’ this early. His hands leaving her cheeks falling to his sides and he doesn’t know how to explain everything to her.

“Shan, it is just a rumour. Nothing more.” He said.

“Oh really, it’s just a rumour? So was it really a coincidence that the woman I encountered at the entrance and your rumoured girlfriend in the company being the same person?” she asked again.

Zeus didn’t know what to say. He stared blankly at her.

“I think your secrets are growing day by day, Zeus.” Shanell said.

“I will explain everything to you at the right time. So please wait patiently and ignore everything other says. Just believe in me.” Zeus said hoping her to accept what he is saying.

“Alright, now what is my job, big boss?”Shanell changed the topic and asked him with a slight smile on her lips.

Zeus looked at her lips for a moment and he felt his heart pounding faster than normal in his . He coughed and looked to her eyes then handed her some files.

“These are some important business data between Zeus Corporation and Nirvana Corporation. Study the details, make necessary changes in the business plans and submit the report as soon as possible.”

“Yes big boss.” She said. Zeus was bit taken back by her when he heard her call him big boss. She turned around and walked towards the door but suddenly stopping in the middle of the room and she turned around to face Zeus then said. .

“I asked Lisa to call me by my name like friends do. So if you hear her calling me my name ignore it ok.”

Zeus smiled and nodded his head by giving approval to whatever she wants. Shanell showed a bright smile and went out of his office room.

Zeus looked at the girl’s back who is leaving and came back to his chair then started doing his work.

Shanell went straight to Lisa and said.

“Big boss accepted my request on you calling me my name so call me my name from now on.”

“Alright Shanell.” Lisa said playfully and both the girls burst into laughter at their behavior. Both knew at the moment that they are going to be good friends in the future. Both of them then went back to do their works. Lisa was surprised to see Shanell working without much help from her on that big project.

“Shanell, are you sure you don’t need my help?” Lisa asked with concern in her voice.

“Yes Lisa, I can do it myself and after I finish it, I will show it to you so that you can verify it. If there is any problem in it then you can help me solve it.” Shanell said looking at the older girl who is really showing concern in her eyes and give a smile of urance.

The hours went by and it is lunch time. Both Shanell and Lisa walked in to the canteen and a lot of eyes were started to watch Shanell and started whispering . She felt uncomfortable under the gaze from the people but she just ignored them and started talking with Lisa while getting their meals and walked to one of the corner table.

As they settled down at their table they ate the food while having small talks. Shanell’s phone started to ring and she saw the name on the display, Veronica. She excused herself so that she can answer the phone call.

“Nick why are you calling me now? Is this also a conference call?”

” Yes it is a conference call and we wanted to know what you said earlier in the morning so we called you. We figured it will be easier for you to answer our call at the lunch time.” Sam said.

“Alright I will tell you guys about it but let me find a private place so that I can talk freely.” Shanell said and walked towards the rooftop.

She reached the rooftop while both Sam and Nick were waiting for Shanell to talk.

“Did you find a place where you can talk freely?” Nick asked in impatience.

“Yes I am at the rooftop and now I can talk.”

“Then tell us what was that you said earlier?” Sam also started to become impatient.
