Mystery
"What do you mean by hiring a cab?" Theo asked with displeasure when Nina refused to come with him and instead decided to hire a cab. She agreed to come with him in front of his mother. After coming outside, she doesn't want to come with him. He understood that she was still upset by his behaviour when she got into an accident. He knows that he made a mistake. He thought she would revert back to her old self sooner. But as the days tick by, she is only going away from him.
"It means that I don't want to travel in one car with you. I prefer taking a cab. If you have time today, we can go and finalize our divorce agreement in the Civil affairs bureau. It's useless to drag a dead relationship. We can hide this from mom untill she recovers. No one except my family and mom knows that I am your wife. So it wouldn't be an issue" she spoke coldly. Just then, her cab came and she left him standing infront of his House, reeling with complex emotions.
It was true that he initiated the divorce. He wanted nothing to do with her. But now, he is not feeling as happy as he thought he would when she agreed to it.
In the 'Fragrance', Ella was waiting for Nina anxiously. When she saw Nina walking out of the elevator, she rushed towards her.
"Nina, are you alright? He didn't do anything to you, did he?" Ella inquired about Theo.
Nina sighed and massaged her head.
"He didn't do anything. He never touched me in this one year when we were legally married. Why will he touch me now when we are divorced? But this hangover is killing me, Ella. How much did we drink last night?" Nina massaged her temples. Ella grinned and placed a pill infront of Nina.
"Here, take this. It helps " she supplied helpfully.
Nina chased down the pill with a glass of water.
"I don't remember how much we drank last night. All I remember is being protected by two perverted people who tried to take advantage of us. You Ex husband beat the shit out of the man who was trying to pull you inside that private room" Ella supplied what she remembered.
After watching Theo beating a man over his wife, Ella started to change her mind about that man. He is not that bad after all.
Nina snorted sarcastically.
"He wanted me to hide about our divorce infront of Mom Agatha. That's why he spared a few minutes of his time to save my ass" Nina spoke feeling bitter.
Ella's shoulder's slumped, strangely feeling disappointed. What she saw last night and what Nina said just now didn't match. Theodore Morrison was truly anger.
"Well, in that case, it's a good thing that I arranged a blind date for you" Ella grinned.
Nina is taken aback by what she just heard.
"Ella, what are you talking? My divorce with Theo is yet to finalize. And moreover, I don't want to get involved with another man again. Please cancel that blind date" Nina refused. Ella sighed heavily.
"Fine, you are so boring. Wait I will call him" Ella mumbled and dialed that man's number reluctantly.
On the other hand, Theo and Francis Dankworth are in a meeting regarding their new company, 'MD Perfumes Originally this company was founded by Francis Dankworth a decade ago. But a few years ago, their company saw a gradual toss overall. So Theo invested in the company upon the request of
Francis, who was like his mentor in business after Theo's father passed away.
"This is shocking. I never thought' The Fragrance will bounce back at all. That too so quickly and so
powerfully. Now they monopolet
the entire perfume market. We have seen a considerable reduction in our sales this last one month. We are going to see loses this quarter if this continues" Francis spoke with a deep frown.
Theo is shocked too. After the CEO of 'The Fragrance' company passed away, MD perfumes started to see better profits than they expected. But all of that has changed in just one month. "How is this possible? Vincent used to be the brain behind their Incenses and perfumes. Then how is it possible to regroup and launch new perfumes without him?" Theo demanded to know. Francis sighed and removed his specs.
"Their new CEO Ella Vincent hired a
new perfumer. She was said to be quiet talented. Look at how she took the entire perfume market like a storm. I heard that their new
het
perfumer is so talented, that they are planning to release new kind of Incenses which can help to help fight anxiety, depression and help fight insomnia. If they release those and it becomes a success, then I am afraid we might never be able to capture the market again" Francis spoke with a frown. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Theo is quite. He is a strategist and very competitive. He doesn't like to lose at all.
"Why don't you hire their perfumer? Offer double the salary what Ella Vincent offered her. This is business, Francis. Think sharply" Theo advised.
Francis shook his head.
"We tried to talk to that new perfumer. But she refused to even meet us for a meeting. She is a mystery. No one knows how she looks like. But tales of her talent are widely spread across Neopolis" Francis spoke. Theo smirked.
"Leave it to me. With right incentive, it's not impossible to change her mind. I will find out who she is" he spoke confidently. With that said, he stood up to leave. But Francis stopped him.
"Theo" Francis stood up from his chair and rounded his desk before approaching Theo.
Theo looked at Francis expectantly. Francis placed his hand on Theo's shoulder in a fatherly gesture.
"Theo, you are not growing any younger. Chelsea is still interested in you. I heard you are divorcing your wife. Why don't you marry Chelsea? You both are childhood friends. Who knows you better than Chelsea? You will be happy with her" Francis advised. Theo smiled softly and shook his head.
"Francis, I tried to think about her as my wife. But I could never look at her as anything but my friend. As my bestfriend and my mentor's daughter, I will always be there for her when she needs me. But apart from that, don't force me into marrying her. It would ruin our lives" Theo said in an apologetic tone.
Francis forced a smile and watched while Theo left. He has a complex look on his face.
