Taming the Devil (EDITED AND REVISED)

Chapter - 25

Waves of electricity travelled through her touch inside me making me halt my actions. My features softened.

Then i realized what was i doing. What was wrong with me?! She is not my girlfriend or anything. She hates me.

Without another word i left stunned scarlett behind and got into car and instructed my driver to drive me to hotel.

I was furious. Seeing her like that made me want to rip that motherfucker apart. Plus he had audacity to argue with me.

I was calmed a bit till we reached hotel. I wasn't going to give up like that. The want for scarlett doubled after tonight. It was like i wanted her to keep away from everything. Forever. Only for me.

"Get a grip romeo. It's your fault she hates you. Because you are asshole." My conscience snarled.

Before going to sleep i vowed to win scarlett forever.

With my beauty in my thoughts i buzzed off in darkness.

After completing my morning routine i called my mom.

"Hi sweetie. How is australia?" Her sweet voice came. I smiled.

"It's really good mom. You should visit sometime."

"Definitely. I have never visited it. Now that the company is passed on to you me and charlie have all the time in the world for a world tour."

"Of course mom. Dad will be happy to take you on tour. Anyways how are things over there?" I asked.

"Things are pretty good. Everyone is missing you, even charlie asks me about your phone calls. You should call him." She mildly scolds me at last part.

"Yes mom i will call him. I also miss you all. I will be home in three-four days."

"Okay honey, i'm gonna hang up now. Take care. Love you."

"Take care. Love you too." And we hung up.

I called dad after that to tell him about meeting. He sounded relieved that i called him. My father was never expressive about his feelings. He had straight business face all the time but we all knew he loved his family more than anything in the world.

Talking with them made me feel more good. I decided to visit scarlett first before going to work. J had to sort things out with her.

Today i gave my driver day off and drove myself to my scarlett's office.

I went to reception. The same lady from yesterday was sitting there while typing away something on computer. She smiled when she noted my presence. She became nervous

I maintained straight face and asked her about scarlett.

"She has gone out for some work and will be back in sometime." She informed me politely.

"No problem. I will wait in her office." I told her. She nodded hesitantly.

I walked in her office. It was small and neat. A small bookshelf was aced near right wall. There was a small table and chair in middle. Two chairs were arranged in front for visitors.Table had few files, stationary and office stuff on it. Walls were light blue and creme colour with an air conditioner. Few picture frames and a calender was hungon wall. There was a small couch beside door for sitting. The office unlike me wasn't flashy or luxurious. It was neat, cozy and welcoming.

I began thinking about scarlett's reaction after seeing me here. The things didn't go well yesterday. Not that i expected them to go but didn't expect to go that bad either.

I was brought out of my thoughts by clicking of heels. She came and sat on her chair opposite of me. Her face was set in hard frown.

"What are you doing here micheal?" She asked. Her voice was like melody.
