Chapter 25
Well, that's for me to know and you to find out." Justin smirked.
"You know what Fi, your hubby is really annoying the hell out of me." Em was irritated now.
"What's gotten into your pants? I was just building suspense."
"Well, you are really bad at it, then." James sound bored.
Fiona was yawning now.
"Ok, ok, I am telling. Well from now on you people are going to work for Me." he clapped his hand.
"Excuse me," both the girls said in unison.
"Dude, you are not making sense to them." James butts in.
"My dear wife and her scary BFF, from tomorrow I will be working with Fi and you in your workplace. Instead of dad I will your boss."
"What!!" girls said in unison.
"Yes Fi, we will be working in the same office."
"How that is supposed to be good news for me? Fi is the one for whom it is a winning situation." Em said.
"When did I say the news is over," he smirked again.
"What do you mean?" Fi spoke.
"Well, Fi because of your hard work and your mind-blowing presentation we signed a deal with one of the most successful companies. So dad decided to give you a promotion," he said with a big smile on his face.
"Oh my god," Em squealed. "That's great news. You totally deserve it checked. I am so happy for you."
Em jumped from her seat and hugged Fi.
"Congo Fi, I have personally seen the presentation and it was mind-blowing. You did your job cleverly." James said.
"Thanks, guys," she said with a shy smile. But Justin noticed that there was something that was occupying Fi mind. He made a mental note to ask her later.
"ahmm ahmm. There is more to It," he said "Now what," Em asked him in an exasperated tone.
"Don't you like surprises?" James asked her curiously.
"I do. But the person sitting in front of me is disclosing the news slowly."
"As you guys know due to the deal company has earned a major profit, but along with the presentation, the financial strategies had also played a major role. Em, the strategies planned by you have also bought a huge profit to the company so from now on you will be assisting our finance manager. That means even you are promoted."
"That's a brilliant news Em." Fi hugged her.
But this time she was genuinely happy which was missing when he told her she was promoted.
"Wow, well I don't know how to respond" Em looked surprised.
"Then don't." James smiled innocently.
"Shut up" Em glared at him.
"Wait a minute; did you just say assisting the finance manager of the company?" James asked "Are you deaf? Assisting a financial expert is a great opportunity for me. And the expert in our company is really hot." Em was in her dreamland now.
"Umm Em, The expert of the company you are working in has been switched with the branch I used to work till now" Justin stated.
With that, Fi started laughing "Sorry, but Em had a huge thing on him" Fi was chuckling "Shut up Fiona, if it's not him then who? Please say he is hot and cool and not a grumpy old man" Em prayed.
"Well, he is definitely hot and sexy as hell. One of the best guys in-universe. And far from a grumpy old man." James smirked "Who?" Em asked expectantly.
"And that would be me," James said proudly.
"Oh no. Please God bury me alive." Em said dramatically "Ha-ha Miley we will be seeing each other more often. Like Justin even I have been transferred to your workplace," he said with a smirk.
"My bad luck"
"It's your good luck"
In the middle of the whole conversion, Fi looked awfully quiet and distracted.
"I should get going it's getting late" Em broke his thoughts.
"Me too. But guys this news should be celebrated." James agreed "I agree with him. It's party time. Tomorrow, what say?" Emma asked "Yeah, it's a great idea" Justin agreed with her. It's time for a celebration.
*after an hour*
Fiona was sitting on the edge of the bed deep in thought.
"What's wrong?" Justin took her completely off guard.
"What?" she asked, looking baffled.
"I asked you what's wrong. Are you not happy?"
"Of course I am happy it's a great opportunity for me irrespective of a fact that James and Em are going to have lots of arguments."
"But what about your achievement," he asked her curiously.
"I am happy," she smiled at him, but he could see that it was forced.
She got up and was going to leave, but Justin grabbed her wrist and made her sit down beside him, "you are a terrible liar."
"I am not lying."
"I know that, but something is eating you up. Fi, our relationship is making great progress. You can say anything to me, seriously."
.....
"Fi, look at me. Talk to me"
"It's just I don't ruin things between us. What if you just got bored with me? Come on Justin, We will be with each other almost 24/7. Work and then home. You will tend to get bored with me. And are you sure the promotion everyone due to my work till now and not because of our marital status? "
"Are you kidding me? I am looking forward to it. We will be working together. You will be by my side every time. I don't have to worry about other employees hitting on you. And I would never get bored of you remember that. You are the best thing that happened to me. And yes, you got your promotion for your hard work. "
"You sure?" she whispered "Yes"
Fiona hugged him. This time he could see the genuine smile on her face. She doesn't know, but eyes twinkle when she is genuinely happy.
One day she is going to be the death of him.
"You know from tomorrow you can't argue with me about me driving you to office."
"I am going to Miss arguing to you about that" she pouted adorably.
"and from tomorrow I am your boss," he said with a bit of arrogance "Aye aye, captain. Your wish is my command" she saluted him.
"So my wish is to do this now" he kissed her passionately and she responded it with the same passion.
"You know this is going to be my frequent wish."
"I guess that and I am not complaining about it"
"Good"
Justin was really excited about tomorrow. This news has been a win-win situation for everyone. He and Fiona will be able to spend a lot of time together. And Em has been promoted which is a great achievement her career well about James he thinks that things are going to go better for him also with Em in his life.
Justin doesn't think James realizes this now but Em is bringing good changes in him.
As of now, it's time for a celebration. Party time!!
