Unexpected trip on a train.
At Zak's residence:
“She left the house without telling us anything. We don’t know where she lives. I told you to be careful”. Mrs. Zak scolded Dylan.
“She has gotten more daring in the past years.” His eyes were filled with disdain. Now, he was seeing her as a new person. He used to love seeing the fear in her eyes which was nowhere to be seen right now.
“At first, I thought we had succeeded in getting rid of her but now she has become a totally new person. Even I am shocked. She is just like her Mom, hard to get rid. Carissa is like a lice, sucking the blood from our bodies”. She complained.
“This time I will make sure she will never be able to get up". He paused for a while as something flashed in his mind, “By the way about Noah......I saw him with Carissa last time.”
“You saw what?” Mrs. Zak was shocked.
“I think their relationship is not normal and if I am right things will be difficult.”
Mrs. Zak became worried. “This bitch will never let us live in peace. How much…… just how much will she make us suffer?" She sighed.
He again spoke, “But when he will know the reality I am sure he will throw her like used tissue paper. Don’t you know who he is? Noah does not need a stigmatized girl like her” He raised an eyebrow.
Mrs. Zak was convinced. Dylan is right too. There is nothing in the world that Noah can’t have. He can get any girl. He is such a great man so naturally every girl wants him. Mrs. Zak wants her daughter Jia to end up with Noah. She was against her husband when he told her Carissa will work at his company. She is very beautiful too which makes her have all types of insecurities. Now, she wanted her daughter to come back as soon as possible from abroad.
“Make sure to ruin her completely this time". She ordered Dylan. Who received an order obediently.
“Don’t worry. Before Noah could do anything I will take action. Now, she lives alone, things will be much easier". An evil smile appeared on his face just at the thought of it. "No one can save her now".
"Be careful and handle everything perfectly". Mrs. Zak reminded him once again.
Meanwhile, when Carissa came to office, Noah was already working.
“Good morning”. She said with a very beautiful smile. But when she saw his stunning face and thin pink lips, the incident from the day before flashed in her mind. Her face blushed and she felt hot. She shifted her gaze quickly. Noah was very carefully examining the changes on her face. Carissa immediately turned away her face making his lips curved into an arc.
‘So, I do affect you". He thought.
“Good morning”. He replied from behind.
She went to her desk and started to do her things Noah did not bother her too.
After some time, Aaron entered the office with a very serious and anxious face. Noah looked up to meet his eyes, “What?” He knew something must have happened.
“Boss as you know we have to go to solve the issue of resort. The weather is very bad today. It is very dangerous to go on a plane there.”
“So?” He asked with a questioning look.
“It is snowing heavily. The roads are slippery and we cannot travel such a long distance by road too."
Carissa was listening to their conversation from the side.
“Will you come to a point or not?” Noah roared at the pitiful soul.
“I am sorry sir. But the only option is to go through the train". Aaron was worried because Noah didn't go to a crowded place. He always travels in his personal planes or by car. Going through the train was something unimaginable. He was reading his face very carefully and Aaron knew he was going to flip out in the next second. But before he could say something, Carissa ran towards them. She first looked at Noah then at Aaron, “You are going to travel by train?” She asked like the decision has already been made. There was an excitement in her voice. Noah met her grey eyes with his cold one.
“It is the only option we have. If we will not go there today we fill face a very huge loss” Aaron told her.
“Oh.. really? Then shall I come too?” She spoke with her sparkling eyes.
What is meant by should I come too? Noah hasn’t finalized anything yet and she is ready to go. Aaron thought.
“Make arrangements we are going". At last he said the thing which has never happened before.
Aaron was surprised but he took a sigh of relief silently. He was very thankful to Carissa, she made things easier for him. Before, Noah could change his decision Aaron ran outside the office to make the arrangements.
“Wow, the weather is perfect to travel by train. It's been a long time since I travelled like this. But wait for how long we are going?” She spoke in the office to Noah. She was settling everything on her own without asking him anything but she realized if they are going to stay she hasn’t packed anything.
“I have not allowed you to come with us yet". Noah said while resting on the headrest of the chair and locking his ten long and beautiful fingers intermingled with each other in lap.
All the excitement vanished instantly. “Hey don’t be like this. I know it is not a big deal for me to come. When my dad used to go on business trips I would always tag along.” She said while placing her arms in front of the chest in a manner saying that she is not going to back off.
“Then, promise me that you will behave yourself”. She always makes him worried.
It was the best choice to agree with him now.
“Okay". She said half-heartedly.
“Good. And we are going for 2 days and 1 night".
“But I have not packed anything”. Carissa pouted.
“Don’t worry.” He was now packing his gadgets in his bag. Actually, at first Noah was going to deny Aaron. Even if he loses his deal, it doesn’t matter. It was like a water droplet in an ocean for him. But when he saw her glistening eyes and excited face his heart and mind betrayed him and all he could do was to accept the things the way they are.
White’s empire was building resorts in the recreational and therapeutic environment. The director of project management was responsible for this project. But he gave the tender to his friend and all the material for construction was of poor quality. They started construction, there wasn’t much progress but the building collapsed. The material was not firm enough that would cope up. This project was causing a huge loss to them.
Ultimately, Noah wanted to go on a site personally to handle the things.
Their train was leaving at 12pm. At 11 am they left for the station. Aaron had already made all the arrangements. Upon arriving at station Mr. Martin was there with two suitcases. Noah ordered him to pack all the necessities for Carissa and him.
With the help of Maids he bought everything that she needed. Now, he was here to deliver their things. Carissa looked at Noah gratefully. Sometimes, this man is too sweet. He melts the heart of people. But before she could say words of gratefulness a familiar yet unfamiliar figure was coming towards them.
“Is he going too?” Carissa happily asked him.
While he just glared at him in response. Carissa turned her face towards Aaron to know the answer of her question. He nodded, “Yes, he is coming with us. Mr. Harrison has to analyze the financial situation”.
“Ohh".
A Little bit of sourness spread in his heart.
As soon as Harrison came near her a very beautiful smile danced on his lips. Carissa raised her hand in the air to give him a hi fi. He immediately did the same gesture and their hands touched each other. Instead of releasing her hand he grabbed it in his palm.
“Are you going too?” Harrison asked.
Carissa nodded but she was feeling awkward because he was holding her hand.
Noah wanted to kill the person in front of him. How dare he touched her?
His eyes were throwing missiles, grenades and all types of life threatening weapons. As Harrison saw Noah, he was going to release her hand but he did not do it. The feelings Noah was having for Carissa, Harrison could read them clearly and he does not want to lose to him. The tension between both of them was rising. Carissa carefully glanced at her surroundings and tried to ease this ongoing tension, she pulled her hand from his grip.
It was not that she likes Harrison she just loves to tease him too. But he was always very good to her so she could not say anything to him.
“Let’s go". She dragged her suitcase and started to walk forward. Noah gave another piercing ‘don’t mess with me or it won’t be good for you' look to Harrison before following her.
