Ms. Attractive and inciting CEO

Chapter 355 - Hope

At dancing event, everything around them is as cheerful as ever. Aria is smiling brightly as she danced with Nathan, if anyone would see her glowing face they would not even imagine that she was disowned by her family a few hours back.

After dancing a couple of hours, she sat down at one of the table with her aching legs. She can feel someone boring her back with burning glares but she opt to neglect them. She busied herself looking at Nathan who is dancing with a old woman when a girl tapped her shoulder.

"Can I sit here please" she asked cutely. She is of almost same age as her and she had blue eyes. Her black hair reached her waist and she looked totally adorable.

"Sure" Aria smiled pointing a chair beside her.

"I am Hope. I was actually betrothed to Nathan and we are childhood sweethearts" she introduced herself.

Aria froze and her family smirked. See, another secret...

Before she could tell something nor before they could mock her, Hope got two big knocks on her head at the same time and she winced.

"Enough Hope. Is this the right time to prank on your sister in law? Can’t you act little matured" Nathan scolded her.

"Hope, what are you doing here. Aren’t you supposed to be working as intern in Valdez’s now.....don’t tell me you were kicked out of it" Jean narrowed her eyes.

"OK... OK first, Aria meet Hope, my younger cousin and prank master of our family. You might know her as Clove from mother" Nathan fickle her forehead.

"Owww...brother stop exaggerating. Sis in law I am sorry for how I pranked. But I am a huge fan of yours" Hope smiled.

........

Jeff who is talking with Raymond saw Hope and coughed. "Raymond isn’t she Hope. What is she doing here." He asked.

"She is Nathan’s cousin. You know her?" Raymond asked.

"Well she is intern working under Enrick. Actually he don’t accept any interns to work in his team but now I understood why. It might be because Jean asked him a favor" Jeff said.

"Then what is she doing here. As a intern she is not allowed to take a holiday right" Raymond asked.

"Ahh.....actually she is suspended temporarily because she caused a little trouble. She might have been kicked out because of Rick’s temper but because for Jean he.." Jeff chuckled as he remembered what happened.

During one of the most important surgery, he choose her as a assistant surgeon. But she has been too distracted because of his charms and all most killed the patient.

In one of the meeting she is so dazed in her own dreamland of Enrick that she blurted out that he is looking too handsome. Making him blush a little.

She have done so many things like that but he had been patient with her. When Jeff asked him about this he reasoned it by saying that it is nothing like that. But it is evident that he is little affected by this cute looking naughty girl.

....

"So you like Enrick hmmm" Jean chuckled as Hope told her what is happening in her life.

"Yes sis. I am so enchanted by him.....Ahh...I am becoming like a love stuck fool" Hope exasperated and pouted.

"Well, Hope I can help you with this you know. He never allows his person life to affect his professional life. Though I am his friend he will not tolerate your mischiefs, but he did so it means he have soft corner for you. Just push it a little bit" Jean smirked and winked with mischievous eyes.

Aria chuckled. "Nathan, that ’wink’....don’t you remember anything" she hugged his arm. She could see her parents gloomy face for wrong prediction.

"That sinister wink is the symbol that some poor bachelor is going to loose his single life soon. As someone who personally experienced it, I know the look" Nathan feigned his fear.

Hope laughed as Aria punched him on his chest. Nathan laughed heartily and wrapped Aria in his arms and kissed her lips.

Her parents rolled their eyes with loathe and turned away, but who cares.....

Scott hugged Jean by her neck and rested his chin on her head. "Clove, get ready to date Enrick soon. But promise me that you will not let go of him. I don’t want him flirting with my wife again Hmph.." Scott pouted.

Everyone at their table laughed at his childish tantrum..

Jean rolled her eyes and ruffled his hair as Scott pecked her neck from behind. "Yep... bro. So you are also in my team then. Woww" Hope high fived Scott.

"We will be coming to Country X for some days after this wedding. I will be visiting hospital so I will help you during then" Jean said.

........

Enrick who just opened the link, saw Hope and Jean laughing harmoniously. His eyes softened.

Iris pursed her lips from laughing. "Bro, what’s happening Huh...? You affected by Hope aren’t you? tell me" she tugged his sleeve.

"It is nothing Iris. She is too naïve and young, that is the reason I am being patient with her and she is exceptionally brilliant. How can I loose one of my best team member" Enrick said. But he couldn’t deny that her little actions warm his heart.

"That’s it!! Really? Bro you never showed mercy because they were young. Moreover Hope is just three years younger than you, she is surely special person. Wow... there are chances that she night become my sister in law" Iris squealed.

"Don’t over think Iris. Anyway I am here to tell you to protect Jeff well. He is thinking of interfering in his parents revenge. It will be too dangerous for him and I don’t want anyone to harm him please.." Jeff pleaded.

"Me and my team will be closely monitoring him. I will also not leave his side Okay" Iris assured.
