38) INVITATION!

Grace's pov

I finally closed the file after doing all calculations. Yesterday we came back from the vacation of three

days.

I can't say I didn't enjoy it. All my days were at beaches and nights in his bed, well that was inevitable

part, I knew I can't run away from sex.

I tried different types of food and specially drinks because I was dehydrated. He let me enjoy water

games and I tried to enjoy as much I can.

He didn't miss single chance to touch me. We had small conversations but it didn't help much, i couldn't

read what's going on in his mind. Not to mention that i was being careful while conversing.

One day i saw him in a room which was full of paintings and paints. He was drawing something with

impressive focus. I never thought he can paint, by looking at him no one can tell that he has any

relation with art. I was curious to know what is he drawing, i wanted to see his work but he didn't let me

step in that room. He even hired two guards at the door so I won't enter inside. I wonder what was he

drawing?

He seemed different when we were at vacation but as soon as we left the island he became that old

Chief, scary and serious. He didn't even looked at me just like he used to ignore my presence in the

beginning. It was wierd.

He brought me back in the same condition in which he took me to the island, in same clothes which I

was wearing while stepping on the yacht.

I don't mind his ignorance or silence but it's quite disturbing. I don't know why but it's scarring me. It

feels like he thinking something but what? May be i am just paranoid.

I sighed and sat straight, he is sitting on his chair looking focused as usual. Gomez told me today is

Chief's birthday.

I opened my purse and peaked at the gift which I have brought for him, i am doing it since morning but I

have no courage to speak or give it to him. He has literally threw all his gifts and flowers out of the

office which other employees has given him.

I wasn't planning to bring gift but Gomez told me to do so. He was lecturing me how I should maintain

good relationship with boss and colleagues. Still i wasn't planning to but he dragged me to the store

and made me buy something for him. Old man is headache for me.

Chief already has everything, what i can offer him. Even his drinks are costlier than my whole house.

He will definitely throw it in dustbin. It's definitely nothing in front of expensive and big gifts which other

employees has offered him still I tried to be little creative, i am sure he doesn't have this one.

I have already finished my work, it's time to go home but i can't leave before i wish him. I haven't even

wish him yet.

I picked up the file and purse and walked towards him. I placed the file in his desk, he didn't

acknowledge my presence.

"H_Happy b_birthday chief..."

I finally said.

He hummed, not even glancing at me. How Rude! Whatever, I don't care about his acknowledgement

either. Five more days and i won't see his face again for Sure.

I took out the small gift box and placed it in front of him with trembling hands. Please god! At least

make him throw it after I am gone. It will be very humiliating if he does it in front of me.

I will kill Gomez for this.

His eyes furrowed when I placed gift on the desk and then he finally looked at me.

Here we go, i am dead now.

I turned around and ran outside. Best way to escape from humiliation. But when I stepped out i realised

that i have forgot my scarf inside, i can't go in front of people like this my neck is full of hickeys.

I saw group of girls walking towards my direction and i quickly opened the door and entered inside

before they see me.

Shit! I didn't knock. To hide from wolves, i entered in lions Den. His eyes snapped towards me when I

suddenly opened the door.

I blinked my eyes and looked at him again, was i misunderstanding or he was really smiling. No, i am

imagining things, why would he smile. But i am definitely sure that he was smiling, but i am also sure

that he can't smile. I gulped when I saw open gift box. Did he opened it?

"S_Sorry... My s_scarf___"

I pointed towards the sofa.

"Get out"

He ordered.

I quickly grabbed my scarf and ran outside, i glanced at his table before exiting and saw my gift in his

hand.

Ohh! He opened it.

I released a sigh of relief and wrapped scarf around my neck when I came outside. He must be

laughing at me, now i regret giving him that gift. Shit, i should have purchase better thing.

I purchased wind chime for him, people says it's lucky. It has little rabbit at the end of it, it was cute and

voice was melodious so purchased it for him. Now i regret it, he was definitely laughing at my stupidity.

He is a fucking billionaire Grace, that wind chime is nothing for him, his friends must be gifting him gold (C) content.

and diamonds.

I started walking out but then same group of girls blocked my way. My heart started racing, they are

bullies. Not to mention that they have crush on Chief.

"Wow, you have tanned so well..."

The blonde said, she looks like a leader. I am out of school, for fuck sake. I don't want to get bullied by

my colleagues.

I don't know why but since i have came back from vacation, they are looking at me weirdly.

"Where were you for last few days?"

Brunette asked.

"It's none of your business"

I countered. I am going to deal with their shit. They better not mess with me.

"Ohh, she got sharp tongue."

Another one said.

"Bitch, we all know you are fucking with chief... Slut... That's why you are flying high, don't you..."

"Such a shame... He is engaged and she is having affair with commited man."

The blonde said looking at me disgusted.

"Listen bitches..."

I spat and they were taken a back by my reply, must be thinking that i won't say anything.

"If i am slut them you people are not saint either... You literally eye rape him everyday, I have heard

your conversations... And i don't give a fuck about your opinion about me."

They looked at me offended.

"And if you have problems with our relationship then i should inform him about him, he will definitely

deal with your problems... You seem concerned about engagement and commitment..."

Their faces went pale when i Said that. I knew it. I turned around towards his office and they quickly

stopped me.

"Hey, we didn't mean it like that okay... Why are you overreacting?..."

The brunette said.

Audacity of this girl! I am overreacting. I really want to punch the shit out of her.

"What's happening here?"

Someone Said and We all looked at the person.

It was Leena.

"Nothing, we were just having little chat"

One girl said with fake smile.

"Anyway...take this invitation cards and distribute it in employees..."

Leena ordered one of them.

"Wow... We are invited to Chief's birthday party... I am sure it will be perfect like every year... Chief is so

lucky to have a partner like you."

The blonde exclaimed but i didn't missed her tone. I internally scoffed, she think i will be jealous? ohh

please.

"This time it will be special, Jennifer..."

Leena smirked looking at me.

"It's a surprise for everyone.."

I ignored those evil girls and started walking out but Leena stopped me.

"Grace... Where are you going?... Take your invitation card..."

She faked a smile.

"Your presence is must."

She placed the card on my hand. Her eyes travelled on my body venomously.

"Tanning suits you..."

She smiled bitterly.

I genuinely feel bad for her but it's not my fault. She shouldn't be with the man who doesn't care about

her feelings. I am getting targeted by her for no reason.

"Leena, i am not with him, I___"

I started but she stopped me.

"Save it..."

She spat. She handed me one bag and I looked at her confused.

"Anamika wants you to wear this for party..."

She said and walked away.

Anamika sent this for me?

When chief gave me my mobile back, i called that unknown number and it was Anamika. She said she

wants to meet me personally.

I don't know what she wants to talk but she sounded worried. May be she will meet me in the party.

I am also curious to meet her but i don't know what this party has in store for me.
