Falling in Love : I love you, Today and Forever

Though Mia was cursing the lowly assistant, she did not show it on her face. It was not yet time for her to release her wrath on him. She smiled at him sweetly, making Shane raise his eyebrows wondering what she was up to now. Her sickeningly sweet smile was quite eerie and Shane could feel goosebumps rise on his hands. It was a smile which the female ghosts in movies gave when they were about to feed on their prey and for a moment, Shane had a notion that Mia, the ghost, had come prepared with a plan. He was worried that she would feed on him. At that moment, the only thought he had in mind was 'Why her?' 

Shane did not mind if those female ghosts were as beautiful as Jessica Alba, or as smart as Blake Lively. But the woman who wanted to hunt him down was worse than the female professor, Umbridge who was always behind Harry Potter and his friends.

"Assistant Shane," She drawled. But all the man heard was a high pitched screech which made him fear if he would become deaf before she fed on him. But he kept a poker face and stared at her innocently.

"Yes, Miss Stevenson?"

"This is a project which my Dad wants to discuss with Mr. Carter. So, I was thinking of talking about it with him before my Dad came to him. We could get inputs from Mr. Carter that could be helpful to us."

Shane was taken aback by her shamelessness. The woman was working in Carter Enterprise and she wanted to discuss a project from another company. How ridiculous! It was not uncommon for many people to work in other companies to gain experience before they took over their own company. But never had he heard anybody bringing a proposal this boldly.

"Miss Stevenson, you do realize what you saying right? Do you have any idea how ridiculous your ideas sound?" Shane reprimanded her, his face stern and annoyed. 

"Yes, I know what I am doing. What is wrong with me talking about a project proposal? It's not like I brought a marriage proposal." Mia blushed after saying the words and Shane was scared of her all the more.

Sane huffed in anger. This woman was testing his patience and he was just short of snapping at her. Mia was nothing but foolish and stupid. He wondered if she was born with a roasted brain or if her father had sold her brain in the market when he was short of money in the past. He took a deep breath to curb his anger before he responded again.

"Miss Stevenson, Boss is busy right now. You can come back later." Shane gave the most plausible reason and tried to shoo her away. But who she? She was Mia Stevenson who was more stubborn than a mule. Now that she had reached the top floor after a lot of thinking and planning, she would not leave before meeting Noah. No way.

"Look, Mister. This is an important deal I want to talk about. So," She stopped suddenly when she realized what she wanted to say next. Though she was hesitant, she had to say the word to get her work done. "Please allow me to go in. If everything turns out well, I'll give a percentage of profits we make. Or I'll ask Noah to give you a raise."

Shane scoffed listening to her. He wondered if this so-called rich lady even realized that she was nothing but a clown in his eyes right now with the way she was behaving. And what was with she giving him a percentage of from her company's profits. The mere amount would not even accumulate to even one-tenth of his salary. Moreover, how dare she call his Boss by his name. They were not even that close for God's sake. Just like the manager, he too wondered if his Boss even remembered who this woman was. He would have long forgotten about her existence, no doubt in that.

Just when he was thinking about how to stop the haughty woman from going in, the elevator door behind them opened and Ronnie stepped out. Shane heaved a sigh of relief seeing his savior. Ronnie would take care of this troublesome woman. He was the best when it came to shooing unwanted flies and cockroaches away. If he was unable to shoo them, then he would trample over them and wash his hands and legs. Matter handled successfully.

Ronnie was exasperated to see the woman he least wanted to meet on reaching the office. She was nothing but a leech in his eyes, money-sucking leech, completely opposite to his Madam. Seeing Shane's pleading eyes, he could deduce the matter without even asking. Mia wanted to meet their Boss and Shane was trying his best to stop her. He padded towards them and without even asking anything, he smiled at Mia.

Ronnie's arrival had ruined all her plans. She wanted to get things done in his absence. But now she couldn't. This man was like a strong wall that could never be demolished. Nothing could ever budge him. Compared to him, Shane was easier to move. But Ronnie's next words surprised her beyond words.

"Miss Stevenson, are you here to meet the Boss? You can go in and nobody will stop you."

"But.." Shane interrupted them, but swallowed all that he wanted to say when Ronnie signaled him to stay quiet.

"You can go in Miss."

Mia gave him one skeptical look before she walked towards Noah's cabin, her chin held high in the air.

When Mia was far away from them, Shane whispered to Ronnie, "Are you sure this is a good idea? What if Boss gets angered by this?"

"If Boss is angered, then so be it. We will put all the blame on her. She was the one who forced her way even though we stopped her. Let her face his wrath herself. Only then, will she learn her lesson."

"You are right. But I highly doubt that even Boss would be able to fill some sense in her. I think her brain is missing or to be precise, her brain is filled with trash to fill any sense into it."

Ronnie laughed out loud hearing Shane's references. But what he said was the truth. She was really stupid.

After getting Ronnie's permission, Mia approached Noah's cabin and knocked at the door. Only after she heard the order from him to go in, did she open the door and step inside.
