Chapter 11
Eric was in his cabin, concentrating on his work that he heard a knock on his door.
"Come in" He said in his raspy voice.
He saw Alissa, walking inside of his cabin, holding a file. The same file he gave it to her when she lost
it. She was looking nervous and fragile. Eric never saw a girl, who never tried to make a move on him.
As he is used to it cause his ex-assistant used to do that all the time.
She kept the file on his table and in a shaky voice she said "Sir, you have to sign here"
Eric looked at her, with a raised eyebrow and took his pen and signed the file. Alissa closed the file and
hold it very tight. She wanted to say something but couldn't form a sentence because of nervousness.
"Want to say something?" Eric asked and she nodded.
"Sir, you have a meeting tomorrow with Mr.Jhon Smith, timings are 1:30 to 3:30" She said, tried to
sound confident and maybe succeed a bit.
Eric nodded and asked "Where do we have to meet?"
"He will send you an email, where we have to meet" She said. Eric nodded and said "You are also
coming with me, so please bring a notepad and a pen with you" With that he dismissed her.
Eric got a little tired, also he haven't went to a bar from a long time. He decided that today after work he
will go there.
Time passes and the work was over. He came out of his cabin and started to walk down the hallway.
He pressed the elevator button and the elevator's door opened. He went inside that someone came
running inside of the elevator.
And of course it was no other than Alissa. She looked afraid and embarrassed for a minute. She looked
down and fumbled with her purse. It always took time to reach at the ground floor.
Elevator stopped and more people came inside of the elevator. It was hard to stand with some free
space. Eric and Alissa were too close to each other. Eric's hand unknowingly went around Alissa's
waist. Alissa was feeling uncomfortable in standing in this position.
Finally, when they reached the ground floor everyone went out of the elevator and at last Eric and
Alissa. Alissa quickly wished him 'good evening' and went outside the building. Eric went outside and
sat in his Lamborghini. He started the ignition. He drove to the club.
He stepped outside the car and entered the club. There were people who were smoking, drinking,
flirting, dancing, grinding etc. Eric went straight towards the bar and took a beer. It was strong. He
drank lots of it and when he was finally satisfied that he is tipsy or you could say prepared for tonight,
he left the bar and went towards the dancefloor.
A girl came there and he didn't waste a moment in taking her hand and started to dance with her. She
grand on him, they were doing a dirty dancing.
He lead her towards the room. As soon as they reached there, the making out session started. He was
enjoying it, but couldn't concentrate like other days. The only thing he could think right now was about
Alissa.
He suddenly realised that he forgot to take her number. He was thinking about her so much that he
moaned "Alissa"
The girl stopped and pushed his shoulders so that he can get off of her.
"Listen, I am leaving. You are a jerk" She hissed and got out of the bed.
"Anyway, you were not good enough" he hissed back. The girl gave him a death glare and left. Eric lied
on the bed and sighed. He couldn't understand what was wrong with him.
He was still feeling a little dizzy. He got inside the bed sheets and slowly drifted off to sleep.

He woke up with a massive headache. He put his hand on his head. He was feeling unwell. He
groaned and saw that it is not his room. Last night memories flashed through his mind. He got up and
wore his pant which was on the floor.
He went down and out of the club. He sat in his Lamborghini and went into his mansion. He entered the
house and saw his mother and father on the couch, as they saw him they both got up and rushed
towards him.
"Where were you? We were worried sick?" Josephine yelled.
"You are so irresponsible" Richard said angrily.
"You both are behaving like I am a small child, I have a life and this is not the first time that I've came
home late. You both always overreact" Eric said in an angry voice. His parents looked at him with wide
eyes.
Josephine looked down and turned her face, she was sad. She turned around and went away from
there.
"Eric you are just a heartless man, who wants nothing but money" Richard hissed.
"Look who is talking. You are the one who is getting me married for money. Those lines don't suit you
dad" Eric said, looking directly into Richard's eyes.
Richard frowned and went away. Eric went into his room and quickly dressed into his professional
clothes. He without saying a word left the mansion and sat in his Lamborghini. As he reached the office
he quickly went into the elevator and then to his cabin.
He just put his elbows on the table and started to massage his temples. Suddenly he heard a knock.
"Come in" His voice came out in a low tone.
Alissa came inside and said "Sir, today we have a meeting. We will get late if-" He cut her off by saying Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Cancel the meeting"
"But si-" She was again interrupted by saying "Cancel the meeting" He said sternly and Alissa nodded.
"First gave me your mobile number" He said.
She hesitated at first but gave him. She quickly left the cabin.
