Unexpected Love

Masihah?

Jia Davis.

"There is a party at my place this evening. I want you to do all the preparations." announced my boss as soon I had placed his coffee. Note- on the left-hand side of his MacBook, that to 2 inches away.

I could not believe my ears what I heard.
I kept staring at him cause one — Mr. Viktor Anderson and party can never go together and second — even if I had heard correct, how on earth would he think I can make preparations in half a day?

"Are you listening, Ms Davis?" He said in irritated tone and frown on his face. Today he was wearing a grey suit with black shirt, and it was difficult to not admirer his physique.

"Y… Yes sir"

"Take Sofia's help if you need" He sat on his chair and started his MacBook.

"Ok but can you please give me details"

"I have mailed you all the details. You can go to my place and start with the preparations, Bruce is already there. You will find the address in that mail and I will handle all the invites." He stated.

I was waiting for him to say anything more, but he got back to his love, his laptop, no MacBook. He is so much in love with it that he can't keep his eyes and hands off it. When I thought he had nothing more to share, I turned to leave, but stopped When he called me again.

"Ms Davis, you will be attending the party, so get something appropriate to wear." He said not looking up. I went to my workstation annoyed, How can a person be so dry? First thing I did was to message Richie.

'Hey there is a party at your house, so I am going there for preparations. We will go for lunch tomorrow and meet you in the evening.' — Jia

I waited for some time and then came his reply

"Hey ya Sofia just told me about the party. We will have lunch tomorrow. It's not at my place, and I am not invited" — Richard.

WHAT?

Does these brother stay in different houses? And Mr. Snobbish didn't even invite his brother. I lost my all interest from this party. What kind of person does that.

I read the mail sent by my boss, I had to do decoration, arrange fine buffet and drinks and also manage the seating arrangements. Total guest would be around seventy-five.

Let's get to work then.

Sofia and I reached at Mr. Snobbish's place, and it was an outstanding space. A two-storey house stood in front of us, all in off-white with slopping roof and wooden windows… There was a garden in front full of different colors of flowers. It was difficult to digest that someone like my boss liked flowers. The whole place gave out a serene ambience. I would do anything to live in this place.

"This is beautiful" I was astonished.

"Yes it is, the interior is even more beautiful." Sofia replied.

"You have been here before?" My curiosity taking over me. I can't help it she was interested in Mr. Arrogant isn't it.

"Ya at last time party a year back. Each year Mr. Anderson gives a party for all his ex army friends, there is free food, free alcohol and lots of problem-solving." She said and looking at the confusion on my face she explained further.

"Mr. Anderson listens to all their problems of day to day life and tries to solve them."

"Woah he sounds like some Masihah" Sofia nodded to that.

"He also donates lots of money to one orphanage and runs a shelter home for ex army personnel whom are disowned by their family because of their physical incapability." Sofia informed me. I had noticed considerable transactions, but didn't know it was going for some good causes. He has my full respect now.

"But why both brothers don't live together?"

"You know Richard's life is full of noises, his parties, loud music, gaming sessions with friends, pool parties... Girls. Mr. Anderson can never adjust to that." Well, I can surely understand.

"You see that house there?" she pointed at the adjacent house "That is Richard's"

"Ohhh"

"Hello ladies, I was waiting for you." Bruce invited us inside. As Sofia had said it was wonderful done in full white. I thought it would be all dark, just like his office, but this was a pleasant surprise.

"Hello Bruce." Sofia said and I nodded. This man scares me.

We started with the work, I called the decoration fellow, Sofia contacted caterers and Bruce handled the music system.

For lunch, Bruce got us some burgers. Everything was arranged by 6pm. I had got myself a dress and was looking for a place to change. I opened one door thinking it to be a powder room, but it was a huge ... Children's room, filled with toys books, games and what not. Does my boss have a secret child.

"Ms Davis, can I help you?" Bruce asked from behind. I turned to face him.

"I..I was just looking for a place to change."

"Please come this way" he took me to some guest bedroom. I locked the door and changed. When I came out, guests had already started filling in. I saw Mr. Anderson too, dressed in different attire than he had worn in the morning.

All the guests were from army, some on wheelchair, some with crutches and some with missing body parts, but they were enjoying themselves, laughing and making fun of each other. I saw Mr. snobbish laughing, that was a sight to behold, cause that happens every leap year.

Sofia went away just after making all the preparations, as she had a date with her boyfriend. So, it's just me in this boring party.

It was 11:30 pm and most of the guest had left, just a few remained chatting with each other. I stepped in the garden and sat on the bench, feeling tired like hell. I closed my eyes for few seconds, but soon someone gripped my wrist and jerked me up, he started dragging me towards the exit. I was so taken a back that I screamed.

"Leave me alone, you jerk." I started hitting him with my other hand.

"ROGER, LEAVE HER." I heard Mr. Anderson's voice and this fellow left me in instantly. I rushed towards my boss and stood behind him, holding his hand firmly. I was scared like Fcuk.

This Roger fellow too turned to face Mr. Anderson. He was old and was wearing a very worn-out suit. He smiled, and I noticed he had most of his teeth missing, under normal circumstances, I would have laughed out loud.

"Viktor... I just wanted someone to drop me home, you see..." He tried to explain, clearly scared of Mr. Anderson.

"That would be me" Mr. Anderson told him. "Ms Davis, I will drop you too." Saying that, he went towards his car. Both of us followed him, but I didn't dare go near that fellow.

We reached Roger's house, it was more like a shed. He got down and came to Mr. Anderson's side of the window.

"It will start raining next month." He said looking at his house. It should have been thank you and isn't it.

"I will get it fixed" Mr. Anderson said and started driving towards my house. I was confused.

Mr. Anderson is full of mysteries.
