Chapter 200 - 195 (1/2)
Ivanov had a meeting with Mr Liam Davis in the morning and was ready to leave for the office.
He said goodbye to Otis and technically violet too.
Violet would come in before Otis would wake up and stay till he fell asleep.
Even when Ivanov would come in the evening from the office and would want to spend time with Otis, violet would always be with Otis.
”My dad used to say if you do any work you should do it sincerely. And I don't want to get fired from my first work without giving my hundred per cent” said violet.
Ivanov relaxed a bit when she said that 'so she considers this as a job and nothing else' thought Ivanov.
But he still couldn't put his finger on what's wrong with her as at times should act like a little child.
'guess some people are just dumb' thought Ivanov again. And relaxed a bit with violet and to top all the reasons. Otis would love to spend time with violet.
So Ivanov finally made peace and accepted violet as Otis's nanny. Ivanov entered Davis's office and saw a very handsome man seated in the board room.
”Hello, Mr Devonte. I am Rick Davis. Liam Davis's son. Welcome to The Davis's corp.” And introduced Ivanov to the other members seated in the room.
”Will Mr Liam Davis be joining us?” Asked Ivanov.
”He will meet you after the presentation.” Said Rick and the presentation were started.
Ivanov didn't want to give his approval but he couldn't resist smile once the presentation was over.
”I liked how you showed the facts and didn't drag the presentation. It was on the point” said Ivanov, unable to control his feeling towards the excellent work done by the team.
”Thank you, Mr Devonte,” said the head of the team. After the presentation, Rick took Ivanov to Liam's office and Ivanov was welcomed by a very sweet old guy who had the smile of a million bucks.
”I apologise for not attending the meeting but the Devonte's scare me,” said Liam and Ivanov busted out laughing but he stopped when he saw Liam was serious.
”Oh. I mean I bet you have only met Elisio Devonte. We all are not the same.” said Ivanov.
”Yes, we have met on many occasions. And one time he stared at me and scared me so bad for talking to his wife that I was afraid to talk to my own wife for days” said Liam and Ivanov laughed even more. ”By the way. Elisio uncle was the one who sent me to this meeting and was really confident at your proposal that it would definitely stand out” said Ivanov.
”Really? Man that man is unpredictable and I didn't think he had any other personality than scaring everyone” said Liam and laughed but stoped when Ivanov didn't laugh.
”Everyone of us respects him deeply and have been trained under him,” said Ivanov.
”Well you don't look that intimidating so I hope we have to work with you, young boy,” said Liam and both Rick and Liam walked Ivanov towards the entrance when Selena, Liam's wife comes in the office. ”Oh my god, a Devonte,” she says in excitement and Rick makes a foul face.
Liam laughs and says ”forgive my wife she loves the tabloids and considers all celebrities gods”
”I am no celebrity,” says Ivanov.
”You are when your stories are reported on the tabloids,” she says.
”Well, in that case, I have never been reported with any major eye-catching events. It's usually Elisio and Sabrina Devonte who are the media's favourite” say, Ivanov.
”Yes, Elisio Devonte,” says Selena dreamily and then continues ”I like all the brothers actually. Especially Isaiah. He is so cute”
”He is my dad,” said Ivanov.
”Duh. I know” says Selena.
”I understand loving Sabrina I mean why not? Elisio Devonte is a big why? Why would you have a crush on him?” Laughs Liam.
”I am sure Mr Ivanov Devonte has better things to do than gossip,” says Rick.
”Oh yes,” says Selena and insists a picture with Ivanov.
Liam smiles and takes a picture and Rick rolls his eyes.
”Thank you, love,” says Selena and hugs Liam.
Selena seemed very young compared to Liam. Like a good 20 years difference in age. So it was obvious that she was not Rick's mother and that explains Rick annoyed by Selena. Ivanov was about to leave when Selena said ”by the way congratulations on your engagement”
”Excuse me?” Asked Ivanov.
”Yes. Your engagement to the businessman's daughter, what was her name? Oh yes. Jessica Johnson” says, Selena.
”Johnson's from Boston?” Asked Rick.
”Yes,” said Selena.
”Aren't they in for the project too?” Asked Rick to Ivanov.
Ivanov was in shock and didn't answer Rick. Selena showed Ivanov the news in the tabloids in her phone and Ivanov was shocked to his core.
'What's going on' thought Ivanov seeing their pictures leaving the hotel together, having breakfast holding hands, him giving her a gift and in the end the kiss.
