Caught You In My Arms

chapter 21

Damon's POV

(After priya ran away from CEO's room)

"Riya ", I shouted to get back the girl who haunted my mind day and night and whom I've been desperately searching for the past two weeks. I never expected that I'd meet her in my father's office.
This is not dream. she's real.I've to get her back otherwise within a second she will disappear just like last time, that day I barely left her for a minute but she vanished right under my nose.
No, this time that won't happen.' I will not allow her to escape me ever again', I declared to myself and started to walk towards the direction where she ran,
"Son relax", I stopped when I heard my father's calming voice.
I took a deep breath and turned back to find my father standing right behind me.

I quickly changed my face into the usual cold one.Fu** just like that, I lost my composure.

My father smirked at me, seems like he already found my unusual behavior.

" dad lets talk business, "I asked with my usual business tone.
" oh ", he said while raising his eyebrows," why not?", he casually shrugged his shoulder and walked towards his desk.
He stopped just beside the spilled coffee, looking at that my mind flashed the scenes of me hugging her, she fitted perfectly in my arms, right now I'm having the sudden urge of imprisoning her in my arms again.

Damon control.

Suddenly Dad turned sideways facing me, who is standing right behind him,

" care to explain son ", he asked while looking at me with a mischievous glint and moved forward and sat on his own chair.

Like hell I'll explain my infatuation with him.

I too followed after him and sat on the chair opposite to him, across the desk.

"I want her "

"Excuse me ", he asked while raising his right eyebrow.

Fu** .did I answered bluntly.

"I mean I want her to be my assistant in return I'll compete this 'starlight' project for you "

He nodded his head understandingly while tapping his fingers in desk.
I know this familiar gesture, which means he's calculating something, did I got myself into danger.

After a few seconds of thinking something, he moved backward and sat comfortably in his chair, this gesture proves that he already formulated a plan.

Now All his playfulness is gone, he changed back into his usual serious business mode.
"Is priya is the one whom you have been searching for recently?"

Listening to him calling her name, remind me of something.

"Dad, how did you pronounce her name correctly. I'm not getting it as perfect as you " I said helplessly. I know just now I called her differently, but what to do, this is the first time for me in calling an Indian name.

In return, he laughed at my embarrassment,
"yeah..you called her 'riya' right ", he said with amusement in his eyes," its priya .you have to add 'p' sound before .come on try it, my son," he told like teaching a child .seriously did the great Damon become that much laughable.

"P_priya " wow I got it now

She had a beautiful name.

Priya Priya Priya Priya Priya

"Finish practicing my son "

"Not yet dad"

Fu** did I called her name aloud .another blow to my ego.

"Damon you didn't answer my question yet.
Is Priya is the one whom you have been searching for recently?"

How did he find that?

"I don't know what are you talking about?"

"Damon you can't lie to me .im your father .i know everything about you .if you don't answer truthfully, then you will see the consequences "

"Yes "

"So she's the one .anyway no one can neglect that girl's charm even I myself accepted her in this short span of time "

What ? he accepted her? that too within a short span of time..this is record-breaking .even his previous Secretary Mrs. Margaret itself took around 1 year to get acceptance from my dad .but my Priya got accepted with 2 weeks. I feel myself getting proud of her.

Did I felt proud? anyway, I already started to accept my unusual emotions which seems to arise only when comes to Priya.

He sighed, "if you want me to accept your demand I'm having my own two demands "

"What is it?"
