Her Mysterious Lover

Falak’s POV

.

I sighed and focused on my work. At the same time, the thought of attending the party with Jacob and staying by his side all his evening was making me go all giddy.

At the same time, I heard a sound, and I looked at my phone which was indicating that I just received a new message. I thought to ignore it first but I remembered that my boyfriend’s number was ON today. I quickly checked my phone and felt proud of myself for doing that because it was indeed his message.

‘Seeing you smile, Makes me smile.’

I checked my face on my front camera and I was indeed smiling like a fool.

‘When I want to smile, I know exactly what to do, I just close my eyes and I think of you.’, I messaged him back and started waiting for his message like a stupid teenager.

‘I like it when you smile and I love it when I’m the reason behind it.’

I grinned ear to ear like an idiot reading his message. I was about to text him back when I heard Jacob’s voice.

“I guess you’re here for work.”,

What the fuck!

When did he come here?

I should really learn from him that how to make someone smile first and then scold them later.

“Sorry, sir!”, I apologized and lowered my phone to keep it inside the drawer. Meanwhile, I quickly typed the message which I wanted to send him.

“You’re the reason I look down at my phone and smile. And then get scolded by my cruel boss.”

Immediately, Jacob’s phone rang making both of us realize that he received a message. He checked his phone and chuckled, before walking away from there. He typed something before keeping his phone in his pocket.

At the same time, I received a message.

“Haha! Then I should let you work. Bye.”

“Are you coming to the party tonight?”, I asked Ashley during lunch.

“No. I have heard that only higher authorities staff are invited.”, She replied. “But I’m sure your boyfriend will have to manage to invite you.”, She teased.

“Yeah!! But he said that he needed his assistant by his side, not his girlfriend.”

“As a boyfriend or as a boss, as long as he is by your side. It shouldn’t matter to you.”

“I guess, you’re right!”

“By the way, what are you wearing tonight? Do you have something for the party?”

“I think so. My closet is full of new clothes. I guess I can find something in there.”

She slapped on her head dramatically. “How can I forget that your boyfriend is a billionaire and is ready to buy everything for you, even you won’t say a thing to him.”

“Shut up! Ash”

“I really want someone like HIM in my life. But I know that’s impossible because God hasn’t written my fate with the same ink which he used to write yours.”

“Now you’re speaking TOO much.”

“Fine! Fine!”, She raised her hand in surrender and I was thankful for that. She might want to have the same fate as me by seeing the bright side but little did she know that at the darkest moment comes the light.

‘And HE is my light.’

“This will go perfectly with the dress code.”, Maria said, pulling out a beautiful high low red party dress. I checked the length of the lowest side of the dress, it reaches a little above my knee.

“Maria, this…”

“… will not count in the short dresses. See, the high side is reaching near your knee from the back.”, Maria said, cutting me in between. “And along with like silver heels and silver earrings will look perfect.”

“You sure?”

“Yes. I know you might be doubtful about everything. That’s why let me tell you that Sir has chosen this dress for you.”

“He did?”

“Yes.”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“You’re not lying, right?”

“Why will I? You can confirm from him as well.”, Maria responded and pointed her eyes toward my phone. “And he also asked me to help you in getting ready because you know nothing about makeup.”

“Well, I can’t agree with him more on this topic.”, I grinned because I hadn’t used anything on my skin except moisturizer, body lotion, and lip balm.

****

“You’re ready.”, Maria said on which I opened my eyes to look at myself and I was dumbfounded. “Did you like the makeup?”, She asked in a low tone.

“I…I don’t know what to say? I mean the girl in the mirror looks so beautiful.”

“Because she’s beautiful inside and out.”, She complimented and clicked my picture when I was looking at myself in the mirror. “Sir will not be able to take off his eyes from you.”, Saying this, she clicked a few more pictures.

“Why are you clicking my pictures? I’m not even giving any good pose, you know?”, I asked.

“Well, what can I say? This is my boss’s order.”

“What? NOOO”, I tried to hide my face.

“Too late! He already has seen your pictures.”, Maria giggled on which I glared at her.

“What did he say after seeing my pictures?”, I couldn’t help myself from asking. Did he find me beautiful? I wondered.

“Sorry, he didn’t reply to me anything.”, She said immediately my smile disappeared and my curiosity died. “But that’s because I’m not you.”, She added. “I think you should ask him about that.”

“Oh, okay!”, I muttered.

“Now let’s go! I’m going to drop you there and Albert will bring you from the venue. Just text him before leaving.”

I nodded my head, picking up my matching silver clutch and my phone. A smile broke on my lips when I saw a message from him.

‘You’re worth of millions of compliments and I will spend my entire life telling you how wonderful and stunning you are.’

Tears dwelled in my eyes before I could type anything. Somehow I managed to send him “Thank you.” with a heart emojis at the end.
