Chapter 33

Ryan's POV:

Knock knock

I was working on my laptop when someone knocked on my office door

"Come in" I gave them permission to enter. My office door opens, and Ashleen, my personal assistant, walks in. In her hands: She holds her notebook and mug, one in each hand. She has brown hairs and black eyes. She began working for me six months ago as my personal assistant; prior to that, she served as my father's second assistant. She possessed the gifts and experience to know nearly everything about my business. I therefore made the decision to employ her as my personal assistant. My father agreed with my decision because he understands that I need someone I can completely trust with my business, and Ashleen has proven that she is a dedicated employee who will go to any length to earn my trust. I was first hesitant to hire an assistant, but after discussing it with Kat, she convinced me that it would be in my best interests to hire her.

"Mr. Carter, here is your coffee" She brought a coffee mug on my desk

"What is my schedule for today?" I questioned her without looking at my laptop screen.

Opening her notebook, she answered me, "At 10 o'clock, you have a conference call with Mr. Italino that will last at least 90 minutes, and at 12 o'clock, you have a lunch meeting with Ms. Racheal at Gerra Diner. You'll be free around 2-3 p.m., and then there's a meeting with all the Team Leads from all divisions." She described my day's schedule.

"Okay Anything else Miss. Aishleen" I raise my head, looking at her face, and fold my arm in front of me. One thing I like about my assistant is that she is completely professional and dedicated to her work. As I hear from my other friends, like how their personal assistant is a slut and always tries to flirt with them, but mine is different and I'm proud of it.

"Yes sir. On the special request of Mr. River, I have scheduled your meeting at a last moment with Mr. R.K. at 07 o'clock at Russo Dine in" She fold her notebook and waits for my next command.

"Last minute meeting?" I signed, "Why Kylie wants me to meet with this client?" I murmured to myself, thinking that what he was up to.

"He said that he is busy today and can't make it to the meeting. So, he wants you to cover on his behalf" She answers me nervously.

Hmm, something is definitely fishy because Aishleen has been never nervous in front of me before

"Okay" I pretend that I didn't notice her nervousness "You can go back to your work now"

She quickly rushes back to her office like her heels on a fire.

My and Kat's families decided two months ago to open a resort in India, and we are now partners. Kylie expected Kat to take over this project from him so she could gain experience before being assigned the post of CFO, but he will need to discuss it with her when she graduates. He was going to announce this at her graduation party, but I convinced him to talk to her first since I don't want her to give up her aspirations for others.

I've now completed all of my meetings with the exception of one planned by Kylie. Sighing I reflected on my surprise; it seemed that her brother is now my painful enemy. He's interfering with my relationship with her sister.

I decided to call him but he didn't picked up my call.

Bastard

My phone buzzed. I checked and it was a message from Kylie.

Hey Bro whats up. Can't talk my in an important meeting.

Don't forget to attend meeting with Mr. RK. He is an very important client of our project.

P.S. – Wear that suit 😊

- Kylie

Looks like now I don't have any other options left. I got up from my seat and picked the suit from sofa which was prepared by Ashleen as per Kylie's instruction. You all would be guessing why I'm changing my clothes but I have no idea. Ashleen informed me that its was sent by Kylie for me so that I can wear it before attending that meeting with client. I don't know whom he is trying to impress. My Lord he there's a woman with Mr. RK then I will definitely take U-turn.

Now I'm ready to go and decided to exit my office.

"Ashleen I'm leaving. If there's nothing else then you can go early and rest" I suggest her

"Thank you, Mr. Carter. All the best for the meeting. Hope you have a wonderful day" She was smiling with excitement. I nod my head feeling suspicious.

I drove silently with so many thoughts running inside my head like what this meeting is about. Ashleen has not brief me about this meeting and I have no clue that what I'm going to do in front of our client. Being CEO and knowing nothing is kind an embarrassing. I decided to play some music to relax myself - Control By Arman Malik started playing. He is an Indian singer, and I love his love.

Guess I'm under your control

I can't take it any, anymore

How you gonna play me like that?

Why you gon' make it complicated?

You won't even text me back

You know the ways to keep me waitin'

Say I'm done 'til you

Tell me come over

I can't help myself

Now I'm under your control

And I can't take it anymore

We should make this personal

Why can't you just close the door?

Do you want it, do you want it like that? (Like that)

Keep on pushin' and you pulling me back

Guess I'm under your control

I can't take it any (Anymore)

Control (Anymore)

Control (Anymore)

Try to look for someone else

But nothin' I do can keep me from you

I've been lying to myself

And I know you're lying (Uh) that makes two

Say I'm done 'til you

Tell me come over

I can't help myself

Now I'm under your control

And I can't take it anymore

We should make this personal

Why can't you just close the door?

Do you want it, do you want it like that? (Like that)

Keep on pushin' and you pulling me back

Guess I'm under your control

I can't take it any (Anymore)

Control (Anymore)

Control (Anymore)

Now I'm under your control

And I can't take it anymore

We should make this personal

Why can't you just close the door?

Do you want it, do you want it like that? (Like that)

Keep on pushin' and you pulling me back

Guess I'm under your control

I can't take it any (Anymore)

Control (Anymore)

Control (Anymore)

Control (Anymore)

(I can't take it)

Control (Anymore)

After 30 minutes I reached the location.

Suddenly my phone started ringing. I checked it was Kylie.

Sighing I picked it "Yes bro"

"Have you reached?" He asked me

"Yes" with this he hung up on me

Now I'm 100% sure that something is fishy. Kylie is constantly calling me and forcing me to attend this suspicious meeting. Looks like if I need to go inside to find what's going. Also, today I didn't receive any message or call from Kat. Both brother and sister are planning something big.

I forget to tell you guys that today is my and Kat's 6 month anniversary and she is busy with her studies. So, I decided that after finishing my work I will go to Florida to surprise her but looks like it is not possible now.
