Episode 2
Blushing_?
Aaron’s pov
My chest was whole red due to that fvcking hot coffee. She took the tissues, soaked them in glass of water and started dabbing on my burns, I hissed. Once she started blowing air on my chest with her mouth that time I noticed what position we were in. She was literally blowing air on my bare chest. My whole upper body was on display for her. For fvcks sake!! No woman ‘ except my mom’ has seen me n@ked before and this woman was blowing on my abs causing an undefined sensation to ran through my body. I was gulping and staring at her wide eyed when she was trying to ease out the burning sensation. My heart was beating wildly aganist my chest, I fear if she can hear it. I gulped hard when her fingers slightly came into contact with my chest. She unknowingly looked up and froze, her eyes furrowed and I felt self-concious.
Isn’t my upper body good enough to look at???
“What?”, I said which came out as a squeak,
for fvcks sake!! Where is your confidence Aaron???!!!
She blinked few times, “Ar-are you blu-blushing, Mr. King?”, She asked horrified and my body went stiff. Am I really blushing? I definitely feel my cheeks heated!!
I j*rked her hands off me and shouted, “You stupid clumsy woman!!! Get out!!”
“I-I am so-sorry sir”, she stuttered. For god’s sake woman, get out before I embarass myself more!!
“I said OUT!!”, I yelled in fury and she scurried out making me little bit relax. I immediately dashed towards bathroom to see that I was really blushing!! My cheeks and neck were full tomato red!! Ohh god!! Way to embarrass myself!! Why the fvck I reacted that way!!
“Because no woman was this close to you, duh!!”, My subconscious mind stated the matter of fact. I opened tap and splashed some cold water on my chest which helped little bit and I felt little relaxed.
After coming back, I examined my desk and relief wash over me when I saw no documents or any important file was damaged. I picked my phone and dialled my best friend’s number.
“Hey bro!!”, His all time cheerful voice greeted me.
“Hey Adam, I called for some help”, I said and he hummed. “I need an extra shirt, bring it from my penthouse asap”, I added.
“Why? What happened to your shirt?”, He asked and I sighed.
“It is torn, and is unwearable”, I said in low voice while getting icepack from little fridge that I had in my office.
“Ohh Jesus!! Don’t tell me you lost your v!rginity in your office??!!!”, He yelled in overly dramatic way and I facepalmed mentally.
“No!! I did not lost my v!rginity and now stop questioning and come fast!!”, I ordered and hung up.
After half hour my office door burst open and I didn’t payed attention as I knew who can have this grand entry.
“Uhh huhh!! Look at the hot-shot in all his glory!!”, He commented while tossing a white shirt on my face and sat beside me on couch.
“Thanks!!”, I said and immediately wore the shirt before leaning back on couch to relax.
“How?”
“A stupid, clumsy, irritating, good for nothing woman came and spilled a hot coffee over me!! And the idi0t who said that ‘Men Don’t Feel Pain’, is totally wrong cause I was freaking on the verge of crying due to pain!!”, I poured my irritation in words and sucked a deep breath.
“Woah! Woah! Woah!! Calm down”, he said and I nodded. “Is it better now or should we consult to doctor?”, He asked and I shooked my head.
“The first thing I am gonna do tomorrow is fire that idiot!!”, I mumbled.
“Why tomorrow?”, He asked.
“I need to meet the lawyer today and that is most important right now”, I said and he nodded.
“Time?”
“12:00 PM”
“Fine, let’s go then cause you don’t look in the mood to work after all this chaos”, he said and I stood up. Getting my blazer that was resting on chair, I swung it on my shoulder and walked out.
“Tell Stella to not disturb me with any phonecall as I have some more important work and clean my office”, I said to receptionist and she nodded nervously. I got into elevator and Adam entered immediately behind me before pressing for ground floor.
“Do you think he found any solution?”, Adam said and I shrugged.
“Don’t know, let’s see”, I said in monotone and he nodded.
After getting into our respective cars we headed off to my penthouse.
****___****
“Mr. King, this is the only option!!”, Mr. Rhode, our legal advisor and lawyer said. He is a man in his mid fifties, he is with KING since it started and I respect him quite a lot.
“I can’t marry, Mr. Rhode. I just can’t”, I said frustratingly running my hand through my hair.
“But that’s the only solution Mr. King, otherwise this company will never be yours rightfully”, he said and it irritated me even more.
“Why the fvck dad put this type of ridiculous clause in it!!!”, I mumbled, Adam placed a supportive hand on my shoulder.
“You need to showcase at least seven months of happy married life and then ‘KING’ is all yours”, he added and I closed my eyes. Why dad? Why?
“We can do the contract marriage thing??”, Adam suggested and I looked as if he had grown two heads. “What? It’s quite popular in movies and books!!”, He defended himself.
“This is not some type of cheesy romantic novel or movie”, I muttered and rested my head on crest rail.
“It’s actually a good suggestion Mr. King”, Mr. Rhode said.
“Ohh please, Mr. Rhode!! Which girl would want to marry me for one year?? I mean, I am handsome, good-looking, rich, powerful, who would want to end things with me just in a year”, I said.
“Over- confidence”, Adam taunted.
“Facts!!”, I corrected.
“Oh yeah!!”, His sarcastic voice earned a slap from me.
“Mr. King, that’s the only solution you have right now!! I can do nothing!!”, He said and stood up.
“Useless”, I murmered with my eyes closed when I heard his footsteps.
“He heard it”, Adam whispered and I shot opened my eyes only to find no one except cheekily smiling idi0t beside me.
“So, what are you gonna do now?”, He said trailing behind me as I entered kitchen.
“Act on your suggestion”, I shrugged.
“No shit Sherlock!!”, He fake gasped. “I know that. You don’t have any other option. But with who as you know it needs two to marry, that means one male and ONE FEMALE!!”, He said last two words loudly.
“With someone I hate and will neither have physical nor emotional feelings”, I said while whipping two eggs in bowl.
“Who is that ‘someone’?”, He air quoted last word.
“I don’t know”, I said while getting tomatoes from fridge.
“Great progress”, he commented sarcastically with fake clap.
“I need to get married before I turned 27, else my whole hard work and dedication will be donated to trust and I don’t want that!!”, I said while chopping tomatoes.
“Let’s start our woman hunt, whom you can hate!!”, He said determined and I nodded absentmindedly, still thinking about my company.

Next Day 9:30 AM
“So did you find someone?”, Adam asked while I was concentrated on my computer screen.
“No”, I shooked my head. The intercom buzzed and I accepted.
“Sir, Miss. Eva Collins wants to meet you”, Stella said and I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. Who is Eva Collins?
“Who Eva Collins, Stella?”, I asked and Adam infront of me smirk while wiggling his eyebrows. Pighead!!
“The assistant manager from sales department, she says she have some important work”, she said and Adam’s smirk fell.
“Send her in”, I said and disconnected call. The knock resonated and I invited the lady in.
“You!!!”, I shouted and Adam shot turned towards that stupid clumsy girl who looked terrified on my outburst.
“Icameheretoapologisesir”, she breathed out in fucking god knows what language.
“What???!!”, I asked, a scowl plastered on my face.
“I came here to apologise sir”, she said slowly processing each word as like telling herself.
“I don’t need your apology, what you did yesterday was enough damage!!”, I said menacingly slow as my blood boiled due to the temper rising within me.
“No sir, I am re-“, she stopped as while moving further the vase that was on small table beside couch fell and broked in pieces. This woman is a walking disaster!!
“Miss. Collins, out!! You will get your sack letter on your desk by tomorrow morning!!”, I said calmly, trying to control my temper.
“No sir!! Please, I need this job!!”, She pleaded, her eyes seemed glossy. She looks like she is on the verge of crying. I don’t give a d@mn!!
“I said out, Miss. Collins!! Before I call someone to show you the door!!”, I growled. She was about to protest when my deadly glare stopped her and she scurried out.
I sat down on my chair and rested my head against it. “She is perfect!!”, I heard Adam say.
“What?”, I furrowed my eyebrows.
“To be your wife!!”, He said and I made a disgusted expression on my face.
“Are you out of your mind, Adam!! I hate her!! She is a walking earthquake”, I said throwing my hands in air.
“And that’s what we want, don’t we?”, He said with a smirk.
“No!! Cause, I can’t even stand the sight of that woman!! I hate her from the depth of my heart!!”, I said while shaking my head.
“Well, that’s a plus point”, he said nonchalantly with a shrug.
