Chapter 215 - 210 (1/2)
Ivanov had been spending sleepless nights working and he was very happy with the results of his hard work. And was happy to have violet in his life taking care of Otis and him.
Enrique had once told him once that ”a man can fight the world alone but when he comes back home. He would want his women's arms wrapped around him. His kids getting excited to see him. That's what we want at the end of the day”
And Ivanov could see what he meant.
Every time he entered his villa he was welcomed by Otis running to him and violet kissing him and welcoming him home.
Violet was making his house their home.
Today after a long day Nevio almost dragged Ivanov with him back to the mansion.
”You need good sleep to focus clearly. I know this is one of your first major projects and let's not mention a very expensive one. We all saw potential in you, that's why you are given this responsibility to choose wisely. But remember the last call is always of the board. So don't be nervous and only show confidence. The announcement is just three days away and tomorrow at the presentation to the board you have to be at your best” says Nevio and drops him at his villa.
Ivanov walks in and doesn't find anyone. He walks to Otis's room and sees him fast asleep. He looks at his watch and that's when he realises how late it was.
He goes to his room and freshens up and wonders where violet was.
He sees his study's light on and goes to its direction and peeks in a slightly open door.
”I am sending you the images now,” says violet and sends images from his computer.
Ivanov didn't know how to react.
What was she doing?
He stood outside the walks away after contemplating if he should or should not go in.
He goes into his room and walks to and fro thinking of reasons she would be using his computer at his absence. And what images was she sending?
He was still deep in thought when violet wraps her arms around him from behind his back.
”You are back,” she says and he turns to look at her.
”Where were you?” Asks Ivanov.
”I was... Ahh. I was in the guest room” she lies.
”Hmmm,” says Ivanov.
”You have freshened up. Come have dinner” she says.
”Mind warming it up for me? I'll be down in a minute” says Ivanov and violet nods and kisses his lips and walks away.
Ivanov tries to find the images she sent from his laptop but couldn't find anything. She had deleted all the history.
He had his dinner in silence while violet told him about her day with Otis.
He watched her laughing. He was trying to figure out what she may be hiding.
”Have you been in contact with your family?” Asks Ivanov.
”Kind off. Called dad after a whole month last week when I got my first salary. I had promised him that I'll prove to him that I can take care of myself. I talk to mama every day. She freaks out if I don't call” she says and laughs.
”What about your brother? And do you have any more siblings?” Asks Ivanov.
”No. It's just me and my elder brother. Mama could not have kids and she said she didn't mind as she was already my mama” says violet.
”She is your brother's mother too. Step-mother but mother” says Ivanov.
”He never accepted her,” she says.
”Hmmm.. so how was working here?” Asks Ivanov.
”Was? Are you firing me?” Asks violet.
”Not yet,” he says and gets back to his dinner.
Violet notices his change in behaviour but doesn't push the topic.
Ivanov without another word walks to his study without helping her clean up.
He was still watching the laptop blankly when violet knocks on the door and walks in.
She gets close to him and sits on his lap.
”What's wrong? You look distracted” she asks.
”Too much in my mind,” he says.
”How can I help?” She asks.
”How can you?” He asks.
”I can tell you a joke or kiss you,” she says.
”Will you give me a blow?” Asks Ivanov.
”Blow what?” Asks violet.
Ivanov holds her head from behind and kisses her lips. He bits her lower lip and she hisses in pain.
”Why did you do that?” Asks violet and he wipes the little blood off her lip with his thumb and sucks his thumb.
Violet smiles a little and says ”can I taste your blood?”
”You can taste something better,” he says and pulls her hair and makes her kneel in front of him.
”Ouch” she hisses in pain and he leaves her hair and unzips his pants.
