JACKSON
“And here is the list of meetings that you need to attend in India…” Ethan said as he handed me the file that contained the list of all the meetings that were scheduled in India.
O took the file from him, opened it, and went through it.
“Then, correct me if I am wrong, but were not there eleven meetings that were supposed to occur in India, as per the decision that I took before visiting New York?” I asked with a frown.
“Correct!” He agreed with a nod.
“Then why are here twelve meetings that I can see in this list?” I said as I raised a brow at him. It was his turn to frown now as he went through the file again. As long as I remember there were only eleven meetings, and even Ethan was visibly clueless about the twelfth meeting. Where did it come from?
“Let me see…” He said as he took the file from me, and rechecked it.
“I don’t know…” He muttered, and looked trailed of, thinking that where it is screwed. He then immediately picked up his cell phone that laid on the glass table and dialled to Stella.
“In Sir’s office, now!” He said and hung up the call without even waiting for her reply. He does not like her because all she does here is throwing herself on me. I am well aware that these women very badly want to be f****d by me, but the hell I care. The only girl that has been ruling my mind, my heart and my thoughts is Misty.
But, anyway!
“Didn’t you check the file before bringing it up to me?” I asked Ethan. Usually, he does not screw up things.
“I have no idea what Stella did with it. It was perfectly fine and accurate when I had handed it over to her. I don’t know why this woman is in the office.” He snorted and continued looking at the file. I know that he wants Stella to be out of the office, but I can’t fire her without any solid reason. He is overprotective of me, and he does not like it at all when women throw themselves on me.
Well, I can’t fire her for the reason that she is slutty, it can damage her reputation in society and corporate people, so all I do is just bear her stupid stares at me.
A knock bought both of us to attention. Stella poked her head inside as Ethan asked her to come inside. Dressed in an extra tight shirt, she came in swaying her round butt.
“You called for me, sir?” She was talking to Ethan but her flirty eyes were fixed on me. Stupid woman!
“I request you to look at me when I am talking to you, Miss Stella,” Ethan said.
“Sorry, sir!” She said as she bit her lower lip seductively and looked up at Ethan.
“Could you care to explain why twelve meetings in this file are there when there were actually eleven meetings that were finalized to happen in India?” Ethan asked directly coming to the point.
“Well…” She started to speak as she licked her lips.
"I have gone through the list twice, and there is no issue with the list." She said as she looked at Ethan.
"But why the hell there are twelve meetings?" Ethan was more frustrated than I was.
“Miranda ma’am had asked me to add this new one. She wanted sir to meet the owner of Pearl fashion…” She said in the lowest possible voice.
"Mom had said this to you?" I asked.
"Yes, sir! She had herself called me yesterday to add this Pearl Fashion to your schedule." She said in one breath.
"And may I know the reason for it?" I counter-asked.
"She had told me that you have to decide on your wedding outfits from Pearl Fashion. Ma'am seemed to be very impressed by the brand's designs." She said in a tone that told me she was upset about the mention of my wedding.
"Okay, I will talk to mom," I said and dismissed Stella. Somehow it did not anger me. I am well aware of my mom and her desire to see me married. It would be finally my decision, whom I will meet in India and whom I will marry.
"You should have scolded Stella for letting us know before changing the list." Ethan hissed from beside me.
"It's okay, Ethan. Let it be." I said with a smile. When he started tow alk out of the cabin, I called his name and said, "Do me a favor?"
"Yes?" He asked.
"We know that the fashion industry is the fastest growing industry these days. I want you to go through the details of this Peal Fashion, and find out if we can get a share in it...my mom is a really choosy lady when it comes to outfits, so this Pearl Fashion might be some interesting thing for us." I told him thoughtfully.
She nodded his head in agreement and said, "I will be back to you after half an hour, with all the details that you need."

"These are the catalogs of Pearl fashion...and they are strangely impressive." He told me as he handed me the catalog. I opened it and saw all the designs, those were really exquisite. And unique, with a glint of purity in them.
"They are really fucking..." I was saying but Ethan completed me by saying, "...awesome, and that's true...so, this is run by a single mother. She does not have many branches yet, but she is looking for an investor to expand her business."
"Hmm...no need to cancel the meeting, I will meet her," I told him to which he agreed.
