She sat on a seat nearby, feeling hopeless. "d.a.m.n! Since when did he become a pious monk??!!"
The man was talking constantly to different people, while everybody else had gla.s.ses in their hands, Rhehan did not have it.
Cheryl sulked at a corner looking at the man. It had already been more than two hours since then, but the man did not even hold a gla.s.s!
Rhehan was currently talking to an elderly lady, when suddenly someone touched him lightly. He looked behind him, turning his head and was a little taken aback. "Ohh! Mr. Steve George!!"
"h.e.l.lo Rhehan! How are you?" Steve smiled warmly looking in Rhehan"s green eyes. Those eyes were reminding him of Elizabeth. Once again, his heart felt a sharp pinch, thinking about his beautiful ex-wife.
Rhehan was smiling awkwardly at the man. Steve was being so polite to him, even after that tough rift and contractual fight between their companies. "I..I am good Mr. Steve! You tell how are things at your end?"
The elderly lady who was earlier talking to Rhehan, excused herself and left the two men alone.
"Ahh! Very well Rhehan! I just wanted to apologise for my earlier behaviour. All the legal claims that I did, against your company! I shouldn"t have done that! I am sorry!" Steve smiled again, looking in his green eyes.
"It is ok Mr. Steve! We are business people you see! Things like that keep happening, on our profession!" Rhehan shrugged his shoulders, casually.
Steve looked at the boy, while he shrugged his shoulders, just like his mother and couldn"t help but smile. "No! That is not the point boy! The point is me being mean to you, when I should not have!"
"Umm! I did not get that Mr. Steve! Why this sudden change for me?" Rhehan looked at the man in confusion. The man was acting all fatherly and was even calling him "boy"!!!
Steve frowned at the man"s words. He a.s.sumed that Rhehan probably did not know about he himself being Elizabeth"s son. Probably Elizabeth has not told him yet! Maybe he also does not know, that Elizabeth was married to him, for a while.
"Ahh! Elizabeth and Lillian are my good friends from the past! Later when they told me that you are Rose"s boy-friend, and was Rose who you were protecting, I was stunned! I immediately took back my claims!" Steve spoke up, with extreme guilt on his face.
"Ohh! I did not know, you were good friends with them. That"s great Mr. Steve!" Rhehan smiled, while they both walked towards the bar.
"Ohh! Yeah!! I miss those old days! But boy, I must tell you, you are very lucky to have Rose in your life. She is a gem of a person, just like her mother!" They both walked towards the bar counter and sat on a table, of two.
"I agree!" Rhehan smiled happily, thinking about his hubby.
Rhehan was now enjoying talking to the man. He was after all his mother"s good friend. Just then a waiter came towards them, bending down a little.
"Ahh! I can have my regular beer. Son, what would you like to have? Wine?" The man asked him warmly. His heart beating rapidly, once again looking in his green eyes. He was so much reminding him of Elizabeth again and again!
"Ahh! No! I am off drinks, Mr. Steve! Nothing for me at all!" Rhehan smiled back warmly at the man.
"Ohh!! Right!! Then I would also like to cancel my order please!" Steve looked back at the waiter, handing back the drinks menu.
Rhehan looked at the man feeling embarrased. "No! Mr. Steve don"t do that!"
"It"s ok son! Its no big deal! We can go somewhere else!" Steve patted the boy"s hand a.s.suringly.
"Ahh! No! Please get me a fresh cranberry juice!" Rhehan quickly ordered a drink for himself too and looked back at Steve and smiled.
The obese bald water looked at Rhehan and smiled devilishly. "Very well sir! Give me two minutes!"
