My journey with an Endearing Stranger 16 Chapter 16

Why is Hailey doing all this? What's the use of all this shit? Horrible man! Huh!!!!

Later, I came out of the unpleasant mood created by Hailey and started the preparations for the meeting tomorrow. According to my guess,the project is absolutely fine and tomorrow it's going to steal everyone's attention there.Though it looks little proud, I'm very confident this time.Then I went to the room where my manager and the rest of staff were lodging. They were all busy with their work.

     As a responsible CEO, I should be supporting and guiding them. So, I went inside and spoke with them for sometime. Later,we came downstairs to have our dinner. Then,my manager and some of the staff members started telling me about the meeting that is going to be held in Los Angeles,day after tomorrow. I'm very excited about it. ( I think you know actually why I am so excited:-) .....)

Then one of the staff members around me began saying about Helena. Everyone joined him and said thet she's a very good person and is very talented.

"Her designs,by the way, looks very attractive.....", someone added.

All these words from them made me feel proud of her. I will soon announce my love infront of everyone after proposing Helena. I smiled secretly without allowing anyone pay attention on me. As it was already late,we went to our respective rooms. I went inside and slept on my cot. A quick glance of Helena woke me up.

I began thinking of how to propose her. Slowly fear started in me because there's only a day left to meet Helena.

" And what if she says no???"

Oh my God! This thought itself is horrible. I finally motivated myself saying,

"Everything would be fine... No worry. She's my Helena . She'll not hurt me....."

Later , I slept....

It was 7 o'clock in the morning. The climate is so cool here that I was not able to come out of my blanket. Slowly, I stood up and had a hot shower. Then I packed everything and had my breakfast along with my staff and we started at 8:30 am. Soon, we reached the building where the meeting is going to be held.

The meeting started at 9 am. There were many businessmen and heads of many famous companies in the meeting hall. Slowly someone started their view about the project. Then someone added on them. Then it's my turn this time. So I took my laptop and began explaining my thoughts about the project. By the way, we, being a top most fashion designing company have dealt with this international company regarding some design stuff. The meeting went on peacefully. After many discussions and talks, they liked our project and accepted for many dealings with our company.

Everyone were happy with this announcement. We,then roamed all over the streets of Paris. I've decided that I should definitely come along with Helena to Paris. I love this place man!

There were many shopping malls all over these streets. While passing by,a boat-neck black dress caught my eye. It was so good that I wanted to buy it immediately at that moment. I felt, Helena would look adorable and perfect in that black outfit. So, very quickly I went inside and bought the beautiful black dress.

Though, proposing a lady with a ring is usual, I feel it, an evergreen trick. So, I searched for a ring that would suit Helena. After rejecting many rings, I found one ,which is made up of diamonds,curved in heart shape. I thought,I should give the black dress along with this beautiful ring while proposing her. I guess she would like it for sure.

I took all those things and returned to the hotel. I packed everything again for the meeting tomorrow in Los Angeles. I have to go on with a night journey today. So, I slept soon.

Helena's POV:

"I shouldn't have developed such a hope on a stranger. It is absolutely my fault. He's just a stranger.

Yes! J U S T A S T R A N G E R....

What does he mean to me? ......

Haa! I loved him. And moreover,I still love him... But....... Yeah! This is true!!!!",

These are the words that came out of my mouth with the voice breaking at intervals because of the hiccups caused due to crying.Yes! I cried very badly. At the same time, I tried to hide my sorrow from my parents. They always supported me in everything. They can't see me crying. I know that. That is why I tried hard to act infront of them.

I cried for a very long time....

When I looked at the wall clock,it was

6pm. Actually I've not gone to the office right from the moment I heard this news from Hailey. That means,it was about 2days I've been crying. After sometime, I realised that my meeting with YYY company of Los Angeles is tomorrow. I love my career and moreover I don't want to waste it. So, hurriedly I packed all the stuff required for tomorrow's meeting which also included the designs I made.

Later,I opened my laptop to check if I had any important mails. Aw! To my bad luck ,I had many. So, I began going through them to pick out the important one's. Yes... I found.

It was from my manager. It mentioned that.....

To

Ms. Helena Davies

Assistant manager

XXX company

From

Manager

XXX company

This is to mention you that for tomorrow's meeting with the YYY company in Los Angeles, we're going to start at 4am tomorrow. I hope you did well with your project designs and we'll catch up tomorrow at the airport.

Thank you and have a nice day.....

Then I replied my manager that I'll be there on time.

Anyways, though it hurts me , I still had feelings for Chase. Because, he's my first love, which is never ending...

But,the only thing that is sticking me is that ,I can't show my love towards him when I got to know that he's loving someone else.

I said to myself,

" Till now, I've waited for the moment to meet you Chase. But now, I don't think we should meet. I can't stop my tears if I meet you Chase.....

So please, don't meet me again......."

Hello lovelies! Hailey's words had created an impact on Helena. She completely believed everything that Hailey said. On the other hand, Chase was getting ready to surprise Helena at the meeting. But Helena ended up that she doesn't want to meet him.

What happens when they come across each other?

Will they be happy or will their meet lead to hurdles between the two lovelies....?
