[STRIKING_A_DEAL]
By Isabel
Will you strike the deal with me?_ Anderson
LAKSHMI
“You caused it Scarlet”
I scolded Scarlet as she was the one who let Aiden find me in the office.
“It wasn’t my fault!!”
She screamed at me
“Did you just shout at me??”
I asked her irritated by her attitude
“I’m sorry but really it wasn’t my fault”
She said sorely
“You didn’t have to tell him I was here in the office”
“He seemed pitiful, that’s why I told him”
She said dropping her gaze downwards
“Who cares about that?”
I said to her
“He was worried, stark worried about you”
She suddenly lifted her gaze up
“I don’t love him, can’t anyone understand that??”
I said as she shifted her chair to my table
“Aiden is Young, smart, rich, handsome and has a potential job. What else are you looking for??”
She said holding my hands
“I just don’t like him”
“His father is damn rich, he’s the president of one famous Como Lora Hotel. His mum is also rich. ”
She said rilling her eyes vision sly
“But..”
“Aiden is madly and crazily in love with you, why don’t you give him a Chance?”
She interrupted my statement
“I can’t”
I said to her
“I know, it’s been four years. I can vividly remember some poorly incidents that transpired between you and Aiden ”
She remembered me of some bad attitudes I did to Aiden
I could remember the day I tore his cloth because he touched me.
The day I slapped him because he intended to open the door for me
What about the day i lied against him at the police station that he sexually harassed me just because he mistakenly touched my breasts.
Or the day he almost got into an accident just because of a Teddy Bear he wanted to give me on my birthday.
I can clearly remember everything but I don’t love him
“I can remember all but Scarlet I don’t love him”
I said to her
“Okay whatever. What about Anderson?”
She said making my heart skip a beat
“Huh?”
“Anderson is also rich, madly rich”
“But?”
“I guess you hate him too”
She said holding her head
“I don’t know”
I replied her
“Lakshmi pherhaps are you into lezbianism, are you a lezbian?”
She asked me as she widened her eyes
“No,I’m not and I don’t hate Anderson”
“I said as I stared at her
” Then date him”
“He’s my ex”
I said to her
“What are you gonna do?”
She asked worriedly
“I … Oh my!”
I exclaimed
“What’s it?”
She asked me surprisingly
“Anderson asked me to meet him. I totally forgot ”
I said standing up and packing up my bag
“In his office?”
She asked
“Yes, I don’t know what he has to say”
I said as I adjusted the buttons on my dress
“I wish I can have a boyfriend too”
She said in a worrisome voice
“You can have Aiden”
I said admist laughter
“Bad girl. Why can’t I have Anderson?”
“You’re Free to have him too”
I said walking to wards the door
“I don’t want them!!”
She screamed out
“Bye”
I said closing the door gently behind me.
I’m not really nervous this time around. I hope whatever he has to say comes in my favour
ANDERSON
I Sat in my office awaiting Lakshmi. I’m gonna make a deal with her. She can’t just leave again
I signed some documents as I heard a knock on the door
I adjusted my tie
“Come in”
I said as the door opened
Lakshmi entered looking beautiful as ever.
She wore a short white straight dress, black heels and a black bag. She packed her hair up in her usual style.
She looks so beautiful. With or without make up ,she’s always awesome.
She sat down on an empty chair in my front as she smiled
“Good morning”
She said first
“Morning”
I replied her staring at her lips that looks so bloody and enticing
“You called me here ”
She said
“I have something to say”
“What’s that?”
She said placing her hands on the table revealing her beautiful fingers. Claded in pink paint and beautifully arranged rings that made the fingers looked angelic.
“You want to win the case right?”
I said to her as she uneasily moved
“Yes I want to and I’ll willinly do anything”
She said in anxiety
“Let’s make a deal”
I said
“A deal?”
She said as I stood up and sat on the table directly facing her
“If I succeed, you’ll be mine and if you succeed, you’ll win the contract. Simple isn’t it?”
I said tracing my hands down to her lips and the other tracing the tip of her dress
“What’s the deal all about Anderson?”
She said removing my hands from her lips and placing it on her laps
Lakshmi is indeed a bad girl
“We’ll behave and act like a couple for a week, we’ll do things together like we’re in love”
I said to her
“What!”
She exclaimed sounding surprised
“Will you accept this deal??”
I said to her as my inner mind hoped she accept it
Once she does that, she’s mine forever
I won’t forgive any man that claims to be in love with her..
Never!!!
