4 Bad reputation.
Elena's apartment
Elena was so happy about finally getting a job that met her requirements and was so excited to start working.
Returning home, she ran to her father to share the news and hugged him, she was so happy that she could eat four buckets of ice cream.
"Easy... easy princess? Henry said holding his daughter in his embrace.
Elena was squeezing him like a teddy bear," Dad... dad I'm so... so... so... happy" holding his hands she started swirling him as a merry-go-round.
"Dad I made it. I made it through the interview" saying this she hugged him again.
Elena was always close to her father and admired him a lot, she would share everything with him. When in need he was there for her.
"It's time for celebration princess," he said pulling her cheeks. He was proud of his daughter and her achievements.
"Leave her Henry, let me hug her" came her mother's voice.
"Oh princess, I'm so happy for you.. " she said taking her into a motherly hug.
Henry and Julian were very happy for their daughter, they have seen her working hard in her exams and were proud of her for finally achieving what she wanted.
Getting back to her room she called Maira her childhood friend, a friend with whom she would share everything other than her father.
"What's up Elly baby? " came a sleepy voice from the other side of the call, Maira who was sleeping on the bed said in her sleepy voice.
Maira Williams was traveling and enjoying her vacation in full swing. She was going to join her father's corporation company, until then she had asked him for a vacation before she stepped into his foot.
"Wakey.... wakey Maira... I have some news for you... "Elena spoke in a child-like voice.
" Yes. I am listening "came her sleepy voice.
" Guess....what Maira," she said falling on her bed.
"What? " she said slowly opening her eyes.
"You have lost your bet, darling.. " she said giving her an evil smile.
Sitting straight on her bed Maira shouted, "No..... ways..... don't tell me you got the job? " she said not believing her ear.
"Yes.... yes and don't forget about your promise," she said reminding her of their deal.
Maira had promised her that if she gets a job, she would take her for clubbing as a token of celebration. Elena had never gone out clubbing and she had a curiosity to at least go there and experience the party life.
"But your parent's girl, what reason you are going to give them," Maira asked her, she knew that they won't allow her to go to a crowded place, and knowing what a club is her chances were less.
"T-that I don't know. you think of something, you had promised and now you can't back off okay.." she said in authority.
"Okay... okay so it's done, I will be back in two days then I'll get your parent's permission," Maira said agreeing with her.
"By the way where are going to work?" she said yawning.
" P M Enterprise "Elena said casually making her eyes snap wide open.
"That company whose CEO is into women's, don't say me, Elly you are going to work for that flirty man, ewe I'm already getting bad vibes from him," she said.
Maira's father was in partnership with the company she was very well aware of his reputation, as a playboy.
"Yes, I know... I had already done my research before applying there, I thought I would be working in the accounting department, but they were so impressed with my grade that they told me, to work under as his secretary" she said in one go.
"Listen Elly keep your distance from that brat, just do your work and leave," she said in her motherly tone.
"Yes... darling don't worry, you think he will use his dumb acts on me and I will get impressed. No way, if he tries his stupid move on me I'll kick his balls, he won't able to use his dick for producing her own child" she said laughing which made Maira laugh along with her. After talking for a while they bid goodbye to each other.
Getting ready, Elena went with her mother grocery shopping.

Lucas was very excited for the next day to come, someone, got his attention and he would not give up at any cost on what he wanted. She is the first girl who neglects his handsome face.
"You are exciting me, Miss Carter," he said standing by the window.
Looking at the stars he saw them twinkling "She has the same eyes... "he mumbled thinking about her amber eyes.
Her face was so innocent that he was not able to take it out of his mind. The morning scene kept repeating in their mind repeatedly, making him eager to meet her, but he had to wait for tomorrow.
" You will be in front of my eyes, I won't let you go," he said and kept thinking about the day he first saw her.

Flashback
Corners road
"Sir there's traffic on this road do you want me to take the other route," his driver asked.
Lucas had joined the company taking over his father's position and he was on his way for a meeting. Looking outside the window she was waiting for a green signal, but something caught his eyes, there was this young girl who was helping the puppy to eat the snacks she was having.
She was talking with the puppy not knowing what and as if understanding her words the puppy moved his tale. Finding it cute she smiled at the puppy," So.. cute" she said picking him up and going away crossing the street.
Lucas kept looking at the retreating figure until it vanished from his sight, her smiling face made his heart skip a beat.
"Why did it beat so fast? he questioned himself, placing his hand on the chest he started calming it down.
The signal turned green and he went to the opposite side. From that day he kept visiting the same road hoping to see the girl or at least her glimpse, but every time he was disappointed.
He had no idea why he was doing it, but something inside him told him to do so.
After that day he never saw her, he was going to give up until today when he found her again.
End of flashback
He smile remembering the past," Cute" he said thinking of her beautiful face.
