PART 36

*****

*****

James was trying to win my heart everyday though I had already given my heart to him.

I was confused.

I hated men who treat girls like trash and James used to do that right?

I used to suggest my friends to stay away from that kind of men and if I would marry a person like that, would it be fair?

I hated men who disrespect women and James was the same.. only the difference was that James only disrespected me of all the girls..

He had always disrespected me.

If it was my friend or my sister I would have suggested her not to marry James for the way he used to behave with me.

Will you please shut your mouth Liz!!!

Can't you just think positively.

It was all past..

James is doing his best to change himself..

But what if he started behaving the same after our marriage?

Again negative!! Stop it right here!!

I kept the file on the desk with a thud.

"Whoa! I am your boss Liza. Have you again forgotten?" Robert asked in amusement.

I rolled my eyes.

"Sorry boss, but you needed to see this file."

"Yeah! But you could have handed me that you know." He picked up the file.

"Fine. Sorry." I turned back to go.

"Hey! What got into your pants today?" He asked while controlling his laughing.

I did not looked back. I shut the door hard and went away.

He really liked to irritate me and even James.

Robert too had did many damages in my life but it was all compensated by him.

I took a sip of my coffee while standing near the window of my office.

I saw James parking his car.

It was normal for James to come to Robert's office.

I could not believe that James was really behaving.

Is there any magic drink that could change people completely?

Or is he acting to be a gentleman?

Or he might be not James..

I laughed at it and put the empty cup on my table.

*****

I heard the knock on my door.

A smile spread on my lips.

"Come in please." I said at the door.

"Liza! James send this for you." My colleague handed me a small bag with a smile.

I returned the smile though it was a fake one.

But I smiled right?

Can't he just come here and give it to me?

Irritating man!!

I opened the bag and revealed a small box.

Wow!!

It was a pair of small earings studded with pearls.

I liked it because it was a small one.

In these three months James had really started to know me very well.

I closed the box with a smile and was keeping it in the bag when I realized that there was an envelope in it.

I revealed the pink envelope on which a red rose was attached.

So sweet..

I laughed a little.

Really James?

I could not believe that it was sent by him.

I opened it and read the letter.

My sweetheart!

I want you to know that I miss you all the time....okay listen I don't know how to start a love letter, so please excuse me for that!

I laughed by reading it.

Liza you know how much I care for you... don't laugh I really care for you. Okay coming to the point..

I could not stop my silly smile.

I know you are getting old..

I narrowed my eyes at that line.

And I think you should get marry now.. (laughing) . On a serious note... please consider my suggestion and marry me before all your hairs start greying (serious).

Love you ;)

I narrowed my eyes again.

James Ashton!! I will dye all your hair grey.

I took out my phone and dialled his number.

He ended it.

Damn you James.

After a few minutes the door opened without any notice.

"Hey! Sweetheart!" He dared to winked at me.

I narrowed my eyes.

"Welcome Mr.Ashton. please take a seat." I said with extra cheese.

"Oh why thank you Miss Miller." He said in a fake seriousness.

"Would you like to have a cup of coffee Mr. Ashton?" I asked giving a fake smile.

"Of course I am here only for that." He laughed.

"Oh really?" I dialled the receptionist number.

"Please send two cups of coffee in my room."

James narrowed his eyes.

"I want you to make a cup for me." He said in disbelief.

"O sorry Mr. Ashton but as you see it's not my work here." I shrugged.

"Hey come on Liza! I really want to have your coffee." He said genuinely.

There was a knock at the door.

The peon brought the cups and kept it on the table.

"Take it back." James said.

The peon looked at me in confusion.

"You can go now. Thank you." I gave him a smile. He nodded and went away as fast as possible.

"I am not going to have it." James declared.

"Ow stubborn again?" I took my cup and take a sip.

He looked at me with a disappointed look.

I rolled my eyes.

He stood up to go.

"James, you can have it you know. Don't behave like a child." He gave me look and walked out.

Damn!

See this is why I am confused to marry this person.

******

James was behaving like a teenager that day. He was not receiving my call, not replying to my messages and all. I decided to meet him after my work.

I went to his office that day.

I hope he is still there.

I greeted my old friends there and met Melissa at the reception.

She informed me that James was still there in his office.

I started walking towards his office. I looked at the assistant's office on my way.

My steps halted and I craved to see my old office.

I entered to my old office and suddenly all the past memories came flooded in front of my eyes.

I looked at the interiors which was exactly the same like when I left.

All the things were kept like that. Even the computer was kept untouched.

I felt my heart contracted at the scene. It was still unbelievable for me that James was too stubborn to hire a personal assistant for him.

The door suddenly opened and I jolted.

"You scared me." I said to James in shock.

"You scared me too. What are you doing here?" He asked in confusion.

"Just wondering that how are you managing your work without a personal assistant." I said in a serious tone.

"Who said that I am not having an assistant?" He raised his eyebrow.

"What? But.. everything here looks untouched."

"Yes it is. Because I have given a different room to him." He explained.

"Him? That means he is a guy. I am glad." I laughed little.

"And why are you glad?" He asked in a cheesy tone.

"Because I will get to see another man in this floor when I visit here." I whispered in his ear.

He narrowed his eyes and held me in his arms.

"Leave me James." I laughed.

"Do you want me to kick him out?" He challenged me.

"Hahaha no please don't. I was Kidding." I laughed again.

He was smiling too.

"I think I haven't kissed you since years." He suddenly said while looking at me.

"Really? And here I used to think that you have a sharp mind to remember everything." I pushed him hard and he stumbled.

He was about to fall so I tried to save him but ended with him on the ground.

We were laughing hard at our stupidity.

Damn my head hurts..
