Francessa's POV
Weird! Why do people think that I am someone who will third-wheel son couples. No only Aida but many of my friends also thinks the same. They have stopped talking to me because I was affecting their relations. But is it my mistake that their men are not loyal? I mean I can't do anything if I am beautiful! My mother and father both having given me amazing genes.
"Don't mind please... It's just that you are so beautiful! Anyone would fall for you." Aida said after she interpreted my thoughts I think. Psychologist after all! Who can she not read?
'Yes! Anyone but him... I am getting everyone's attention but he looks at me as if I am nuisance!' I muttered while combing Aida's hair.
"Ouch!" I jerked hearing Aida's shriek.
"What happened?" I asked her in confusion.
"I know you are lost but please take care of hair. I only have few millions left now." She winked at me making me laugh slightly.
"Sorry... I will comb slowly." I said and started combing her hair again.
"By the way... I know you are disturbed. I am here if you want to talk." She said making me smile.
"And you will charge me?" I asked playfully.
"Yes, obviously!" She smirked and I made a beautiful braid with her hair giving it a messier look. Organised messy look.
"Then I will let it pass. But if you give advices for free then I am in." I said and again it was all joke.
"Okay... Then for you it's free." But she took it seriously I guess.
"No... I just worry about my charitable institutions." I said while smiling.
"If you say so... Am I looking good?" She asked as I applied a bit of hair spray to set the look.
"Look at yourself in the mirror. You look absolutely gorgeous." I said while she smiled.
"Okay... My work is done here. I will take your leave now." I said and picked up my clutch.
"Okay. Thanks!" I smiled and let myself out from her house.
*****
During the whole day, I was so much absent-minded. Even after being here physically, my mind was somewhere else. I am just not realising how I fell for him in just a day. This has never happened to me ever... This kind of irritation when I got to know that he is married. All this is just so weird. I don't want to be another woman in anyone's life but how do I stop myself from falling for him?
I just hope that this charity event will be the last when we meet and after that never. And I also hope that this charity event lasts a lifetime.
I am just being delusional!
All thanks to him! Why did he have make this grand entry in my life?
"Franny? Are you alright darling?" I looked up to see Gabriel Uncle tensing over me.
"Yes... Why?" I smiled lightly.
"You are so lost." He said while smiling at me. This man handles everything in this old age home in my absence. I am so grateful of him.
"Yes... This time charity event is a bit different. I am just fretting over how will it go." I said.
"We can do the event here only if there is any issue. Our home is not less than any five star hotel."
"No!" I shrieked lightly hearing his words.
"I mean, yes... Our home is not any less. But... Umm... We should... I mean I am..."
"You want to meet that guy once more, right?" He smiled looking at my read face. My face feels so heated now because of embarrassment.
"Uncle, he is totally arrogant idiot fellow. I don't want to meet him." I huffed but secretly I knew just once more. He is someone's husband but just this time.
"Really?" He asked but I could feel his smirk even though I averted my eyes away from him.
"Yes!" Atleast I am proud to be this stubborn.
"If you say so..." He said and left to mingle with his friends.
"Why everyone is saying this same dialogue!" I muttered frustratedly.
And just then my phone decided to ring and he called. He, whom I am trying so hard to forget.
And involuntarily, my finger swiped green icon and I absolutely have no idea when my hand brought the phone near my ear.
"Hello." I said meekly.
"Wow... What happened to 'My Dad is Commissioner'?" He said as he realised the tone of my voice.
"Nothing. Do you have some work?" I asked trying to be as unaffected as I can sound.
"Yes actually. Before I go, I think we should discuss everything once again. Because I will land here on the day of opening ceremony." He said to which I snickered lightly. Obviously, alone time with his wife.
"Okay... I will meet you in an hour?" I said but it felt more like a sentence seeking confirmation.
"Okay. Come to the hotel directly." He said.
"Okay." I said and disconnected the call. I only have an hour! Am I looking good? It's beeb whole day and my hair would be like bird's nest. What should I do now!
I hastily took my bag and ran for my house. I will just use dry shampoo for my extra frizzy hair.
"Franny!"
"Later Uncle! I have an important meeting." I shouted to Uncle Gabriel without turning back.
After reaching home, I corrected my attire, make-up and hair as soon as possible. Though for make-up there was not much because I prefer no makeover look with pink gloss. And I should not look like I am trying to impress him. Which I am not doing!
Yes! You go in every meeting after putting so much efforts.
Shut up!
I took my bag enrouted towards his hotel.
Hopefully, he does something that whatever feelings I have suddenly started to feel just disappears in thin air. Can we unlove someone? If yes then someone please help me!
