"Ok mom! Actually I have to talk to you about something very important. That day on Lorraine International festival, I had a slip of dress and Rhehan saved me. While others were busy clicking my pictures, n.o.body else came to help me." Rose sighed deeply. Offcourse she purposely missed out on the fact that Rhehan had bribed a model, to create such a situation.
"What??! Oh My G.o.d Rose?! My baby!!! " Lillian was shocked at her daughter"s words.
"n.o.body could click a single picture as Rhehan had blocked me. He was then, so angry at the media and company ,that he cut all ties with Lorraine International and told other companies to do the same." Rose narrated the story, careful enough to not let any other detail slip from her mouth.
"Ohh Thank G.o.d! But how come it"s not known to anybody, not even me?"
"Because mum, he strictly announced there and then, that this mishappening should not be leaked by anybody present in the venue. But now Lorraine International has claimed a compensation of almost 150 million dollars."
"What?! How dare they do that?!!" Lillian shouted over the phone, startling Rose.
Rose was actually stunned at her mother"s reaction. She did not expect that it would be so easy to convince her.
"Shall I send the company "s legal team to you?" Rose jumped in glee, her fingers crossed.
"That won"t be required. Just tell Rhehan, to not think about it. Lorraine International will take back their claim in 2 days."
"What??! Wow mom you are amazing!" Rose was too ecstatic hearing her mother"s words. She knew her mother"s capabilities and if she had given her word, she would do anything to fulfill it. The mere thing that she was helping her boyfriend was also bringing her immense joy!
"But that doesn"t mean I have approved him as your boyfriend . I am doing it for some other reason, which I can"t tell you now. Tell him to mail me the copy of the contract." Lillian sighed, hearing her daughter"s gleeful voice. Offcourse she was not doing it for Rose. But in no way she could let Rhehan suffer. He was obviously somebody very special to her! She had to protect him against any potential harm or danger. Atleast to her full capabilities, that"s what she has been doing all her life. Fulfilling her duties towards him!
"Thank you mum! You are the best." Rose was almost dancing in joy.
Lillian could not help but smile at her daughter"s words. "See you tomorrow. Miss you my baby."
Soon the call was disconnected and Rose rushed back to the room. She could not wait to tell Rhehan about the good news.
She rushed inside the room and jumped like a kid. "Guess what happened?"
"You are pregnant, already?" Rhehan chuckled and starred at Rose mischeviously.
"No idiot," Rose lamented him slapping her forehead.
"Then what?" Rhehan chuckled, looking at the cute little bunny, hopping around in the room with joy.
"I had a word with mom regarding your law suit. She has told you to not worry about it. She will have Lorraine International take back the claim in two days". Rose exclaimed in excitement, jumping on the bed, besides him.
"What? But how?" Rhehan was baffled at Rose"s words. He did not doubt her mother"s competence, but his legal team was also at par to her. How can she be so confident about it? Does she know the owner personally?
"I don"t know how, but, if she has given her word, she will do it. Just mail her the contract. Rest she will handle".
"But Rose, I told you already, you don"t have to worry about anything." Rhehan did not want Rose to get involved in the dirty politics of his business. Obviously, he did not always play fair to reach the pinnacle of business world.
"Silly! I just want you to know, that this time you are not alone. I know you have always handled things all alone and you would have handled this too. I just want you to feel that you are no longer alone. I am there to back you up everytime!" Rose sat on Rhehan"s lap again and hugged him tightly.
Rhehan did not reply to Rose. Infact he did not know how to reply to these kind of words. It was true, he always did things on his own. This alien feeling of being backed up by somebody was too hard to digest for him! It was like having a family suddenly, after 30 years of struggling all alone.
"Thank you! You complete me!" Rhehan said, and hugged her back.
