Part 17
Lia’s POV
I rush into the office and find James waiting for me. His confused expression tells me that he is clueless.
“Is Lucian in yet?”
“He is still on the meeting. He will be here in another 30 min. What is the matter, Lia?”
“It is about Aviation International”
James’ puzzlement becomes deeper. “What’s with Aviation International?”
“Before that, can you tell me what Lucian’s decision on Negotiation is?”
“Why do you want to know it? Out of the blue, you called stating to discuss something important. Then, without giving any information, you want to know about Lucian’s decision on Aviati

His Locked Soul Part 18
Luc's POV I cannot stop shaking with anger. How dare she? I have started believing in her, and she has shown her true colors. I am an idiot to believe in another girl. I should not have included her in such a crucial negotiation. My concentration is not entirely in the meeting, and I left the discussion with the rest of the team. I will check with James later on that. She spoiled my day. I sense James entering the room and sits in front of me, but I never lookup. Finally, after ten minutes of silence, I see him sitting and checking on his mobile. Sensing my change in attention, he looks up and chuckles at me. I utter an angry what. James's smile becomes wider. "Are you not going to ask about the meeting?"

Lia's POV I look up, hearing a soft tap. I see Luc standing at the door. His face doesn't show any emotions, so that I cannot deduct his mood. Why has he come? Does he want to question more about morning? I am sure my face is full of questions. "Are you not coming for the meeting?" I am more confused. "What meeting?" "The follow-up meeting for the Eurasian merger. Cindy had sent you the meeting invite in the morning." "But..." "But what?" Is he playing with me? My anger sprouts slowly. "I don't know if you are playing with me. You have men

Luc's POV The tables are arranged in circles. I am seated at the prime table with Lia on my right and James on my Left. Other than that there is Victoria, the female lead, her husband, and Director Chris. I could see another female at the table who looks familiar. My steps slightly halter when I realize that it is Diaz. Diaz's face brightens on seeing us. I catch her eyes narrow slightly at me, holding Lia close. Being aware of her intention, I know it's going to be a long evening. "Good evening Luc, this is Diaz. Diaz, this is Lucian. But Of course, no need of introductions for our main man." Chris laughs, looking at me. "Hi Luc, long time. How are you?" How dare she talks to me so casually? I feel James stiffening at the sight of her

Luc's POV "Make sure that all the board members are intimated of the changes. I need a detailed plan about the new research wing on my table by evening." Mitchel is taking notes of my instructions. Lia and James are also with me. "Mr. Alastair, Mr. David wants to book a meeting to finalize the draft on contract with Aviation International." Lia's hand stops momentarily on her keypad, but she never looks up. I know she is listening keenly. I admire her stubbornness. "Very well, Mitchel. Ask David to prepare the final draft. But I have to check on that before the discussion." Mitchel utters her understanding and leaves the room after. I turn to look as James is trying to control his laugh

Lia's POV I stare into the screen saver displaying Alastair Corporation's logo. As if the monitor is tossing it across space like a ball. Not that it is the exciting thing in the world to look at. But my thoughts are too chaotic to do any work. It is only two months since we got married. But it seems like years. What an exciting time frame. And I haven't thought about the ball this Saturday. I am not a person who buys a new dress for every occasion. I suppose it is normal to feel like that. Why should I have to buy a dress for every new event? I will use one of my evening dresses in the wardrobe. I shake my head at the thoughts. Why am I thinking about the dress when we have more pressing matters in hand? We have a meeting planned with Stephanos and David on the contract at 11:00 am.

Lia's POV Days fly fast, and it is Saturday morning now. The Ball is in the evening, and Kate insisted I accompany her to a salon. I am not a spa person. I don't understand how people feel refreshed after spending a day in the spa. I feel dead tired and will sleep hours together hence why Kate and I are sitting on this pedicure chair after a good facial. Kate was explaining what and why about the Ball. I was surprised to hear that Kate was a foster child. She and Ricardo met in high school. Even though their start was rough, the spark was there soon, and their love is growing deep till now. Based on what Kate said, the story is entirely worth being a plot for a good romantic movie. Even though Kate was blessed with suitable foster parents, who gave her a roof over the head and three m

Lia's POV I join Thea in the collection booth. The job is quite simple. First, we have to list the items donated, confirm the same with the donating person by signing below the list, put them on a bag, and pin them in with the number mentioned in the form. Then, the cash donations are collected in a separate booth, handled directly by Emma and Kate. I see mom helping Kate, dad and Jax are talking with Ric. I should applaud Kate, Emma, and Isabella. All the booths are working seamlessly. This is not a closed event, and we have much common public attending the event even though there are no significant issues aroused. I cannot help but glance at Lucian's booth here and then. We are set nearby so that I can see the happenings there. To be true, it is the most crowded booth. However, I ca
His Locked Soul Part 25
Lia’s POV “Thea told that you want to see me.” I look up hearing Luc. Seeing my confusion Luc asks me again. “You wanted to see me? Thea sent me here.” Why? That little... “No... Yes... Maybe...” I stop blabbering when Luc raises his eyebrow. I sit down with a sigh, not looking at him. After admiring my beautiful nails for a long time, I look up as there is no movement from him. He is standing with his hands in pant pockets and looking aimlessly. “You want to talk?” I whisper the question, half hoping that he will not hear. But no, my prayers are not listened. He looks at me back. “Do you
