The atmosphere in the room became more pleasant and romantic."Brother...", Darren walked into the room opening the door with Varun in his hands. Ria pushed him away and walked to the gla.s.s walls. Darren was puzzled to see their action, he thought, "Were they kissing? Did I interrupt them? Oh G.o.d! Save me!"
Ren gave him a death glare. Darren forced a smile and said, "Varun wanted to see you!" He let him down and rushed out of the room. Varun ran to Ren and asked to lift him by extending his hands. Ren picked the little guy up and tickled his sides. Varun"s giggles filled the room.
Ria was still standing near the gla.s.s wall and repenting on her actions. She thought, "Ria! What the h.e.l.l are you doing? You actually wanted his kiss! Are you mad? He is seducing you so openly, that cunning *ss. You better get a hold of yourself".
Ria then heard Varun"s continuous giggles and turned around to find the father and son playing on the sofa. Ria took few steps towards the drawing stand on the room. She asked, "You bought this for Varun?"
Ren looked back at Ria and said, "Yeah, for my sweetheart! It also means, my big sweetheart can use it too." Ria gave him a look and said, "I have my own drawing board!" Ren chuckled and said, "See! you too know that you are my sweetheart. Accept me anna! How long are you going to protest?".
Before Ria could scold him for calling her anna, a knock was heard on the door. Ren frowned and said, "Come in." A maroon silhouette walked in carrying a tray with Juice jar and two gla.s.ses. Ria was looking through the drawing pencils and stuffs.
Peggy saw Ria standing near the bed then she kept the tray on the tea table and said, "There is pomegranate and orange juices, sir".
When Ria heard the voice, she looked at the girl who was speaking to Ren. He replied with a "Hmmm" as he was focusing on Varun who was looking at his phone searching something. Peggy asked, "Is there anything else you need, sir?"
Ren lifted his head up, looked at her face which was sparkling then he turned back to look at his woman, who was surveying the drawing materials. He then asked Ria with a blissfull smile, "Sweetheart, Do you need anything?"
Ria looked at him with disdain expression and she replied, "Nothing." He replied lovingly, "Okay, sweety!" Ria ignored him. Peggy"s heart just broke into small pieces and she was forcing a smile on her face.
Even if she didn"t have a deep crush on him, when she knew her boss who was single for 3 yrs was now taken she felt heart broken. The way he looked at her is something she can never ever dream about. Ren didn"t say anything and played with Varun.
Peggy nodded her head and turned back to leave the room. Before she could leave, Ria asked her, "Were you the one who bought this, Miss?" Peggy turned back with a professional smile and said, "Yes, Mam". Ria didn"t even think about anything, she asked directly, "Want to work for me?"
Peggy was stunned by her question. "Did she just try to recruit me in front of my Boss?", Peggy thought. She looked at Ria without saying anything. Ria continued, "Your choice of selection is very much good. I think you must a secretary here, you have to do the same for me. Manage my schedule and give some opinions on my works."
Peggy still remained silent. Ren stood up carrying Varun and walked towards the bed. He placed Varun on the bed then walked to Ria and stood beside her. He then said to Peggy with his eyes on Ria, "Miss Peggy, don"t mind me. When my wife is present, she is the boss. Choice is yours."
Peggy opened her mouth atlast but Ria interrupted, "I am not your Boss or anything. Oh! I didn"t introduce myself. I am Rianna Raj, CEO of Diva Fashions, Milan. I would like to recruit you as my secretary."
Peggy"s face suddenly brightened, the minite she heard words like, "Fashions", "Milan". Every girl with a bit of fashion sense dreams to work on a fashion company and Milan is a must to visit place, working there is not bad right? Peggy looked at Ren but he was only looking at Ria.
And Ria was looking Peggy. Finally, Peggy said, "It is my honour to work with you, mam". Ria smiled at her and walked towards Peggy. She extended her hand, they both shaked their hands and Ria said with a smile, "Diva fashions, welcomes you." Peggy nodded her head.
Ria looked back at Ren and asked him, "Where is my work s.p.a.ce?" Ren didn"t even hesitate, he said, "You can use my office!" Ria also didn"t even hesitate, "I don"t like any disturbances, when I work. I need another room. Arrange it for me, I prefer a bright room like this. My secretary will pick equipments for me."
Ria took her bag and pulled out two cards. She then gave it to Peggy, "There is my Vice president, Emma"s number. Talk to her, get familiarize with our company. I will send you the list of necessities and I will get your number from Ren. Use the credit card for shopping, the pin number is at the back of it.
And one more thing, there will be an audition in 30 minutes for the upcoming commercial of Kozhaksi"s Corporation. Co-ordinate with Mr. Rodriguez and arrange it. After the audition you can deal with my work s.p.a.ce." She nodded and left the office.
When Ria looked back at Ren, he was talking to someone about altering the room.
Ria sent a message to Emma saying, "Congratulations! You have been promoted to Vice-President and there is a new employee named Peggy has been recruited. She will be you calling today give her a gist about our company and us. Work Hard, Miss. VP".
Ria lifted her head to find Ren staring at her with a devilish smile. She ignored him and went to the tea table. She picked pomegranate juice jar and pour some into two gla.s.ses. She walked to the bed and kept one gla.s.s near Varun"s mouth.
Varun was using Youtube in Ren"s phone. He was watching pencil stroke types. He didn"t move his eyes but he gulped the juice, his mother feeded him. After he finished the gla.s.s, she caressed his back untill he burped.
Then she kept the gla.s.s on the floor and stroked Diya"s stomach and whispered in her ear, "Wake up sweety. Have some juice".
Diya furrowed her eye brows and rolled in the bed. Ria had a blissfull smile and pulled Diya towards her with one hand. Then she rubbed her nose with Diya"s and blowed in her eyes. Diya slowly her eyes and looked around. Then she moved into Ria"s embrace and hugged.
Ria slowly caressed her back, after her eyes are adjusted to the light she let herself away from the embrace. Ria fed her some juice and she picked both the gla.s.ses. She went to the bathroom to wash it.
Ren was watching the mother and daughter pair cuddle, silently followed her to the bathroom.
