Chapter-48

Ariana

"Ariana."

I heard my name being called by Xavier. I was in the closet of his room—our room, changing into my nightclothes. True to his words, he asked Mrs. Molly to transfer my clothes to our room.

"Yes?" I came out of the closet to see him sitting on the bed. He gestured for me to sit beside him on the bed. As I sat, he took my hands in his.

"I'm sorry Ariana."

Sorry? Again?

"You're saying too much sorry for the past two days. Now for what?" I asked, frowning.

"Even hundreds of sorry are less to the mistakes I have committed." He shrugged his shoulders.

"And this time, I'm saying apologizing for forcing you to work as my P.A. I was so blinded in revenge that I ignored that being my P.A. is not your field of work. Today, I realized that you're made for something else." He said in a low tone, not looking at me but my hands. He was feeling guilty for what he did. He melted my heart again.

"Xavier look at me." Slowly, he craned his eyes up. I smiled and clasped his hands tightly.

"Xavier, you don't have to be sorry about this. By employing me as your P.A., you made me realize what I'm capable of doing. I had never imagined myself working in a huge company. You know, people are ready to kill each other to grab the opportunity to work in your company." Xavier laughed at my comment.

"And I got the opportunity without even asking for it. You made me stronger, boosted my confidence, unleashed my worth. And you most definitely have not to be sorry for making me see my worth." I reasoned out.

"You have a very positive approach, Ariana. You inspire me." He smiled faintly.

"And this time I won't mess up. This time I'll give you a perfect offer. *Ahem* So Would you like to work in XDS AUTOTECH as IT security head?"

"Wh..what?" Did I hear it right?

"You heard me."

"B..but how? Wh..when? I mean I'm not trained to work in big companies. I work as your P.A and what will others say? Just like that, I'm appointed as an IT security head? What about the current person working on that position?" I said everything in one breath.

"Do you really think after what you did in my office I'll ask you about training? You have worked with the Cybercrime branch which is more than enough for any company to recruit you. And no one can question my decision of employing someone in my company. You're the perfect choice for that position. And besides, your favorite brothers want the same. So will you?"

"What about your P.A?" I asked.

"As much as I want to be selfish to keep you as my P.A, I can't. Now that I know what you can do, I can't let you waste your talent. And about my P.A, with a heavy heart, I'll appoint a new one." He said, showing fake sadness.

"As much as I want to work as your P.A, your new offer sounds too tempting. And if I accept your offer, it'll be a dream come true. So I think I'll take your offer." I grinned.

"Good. So, it's settled. After coming back from France, you'll work in a new position." He replied, giving me a most dazzling smile.

"Coming back from France?" I asked in confusion.

"Yep. Because my Ari.. you're coming with me to France." He grinned.

"Now, stop talking, and let me give you a small reward for saving us." Saying that he pressed his lips on mine. Without breaking the kiss, he pushed me softly making me lay on the bed, and hovered over me. He groaned and abruptly broke the kiss and pulled away balancing his weight on his arms by putting them on either side of my head.
