MEANWHILE

AT THE HEADQUARTERS 

It was getting dark already when the headquarters still had few employees overworking their shifts, all the rush was due to tomorrow's event for the new boss's welcome. 

Master Ethan Thompson. 

The arrangements were almost done which was one good sign of accomplishment for the employees who had been working strictly since last few days just to please Great Master Thompson's wish. 

The entire headquarters was decorated like stars, it was the Great master Thompson's demand on which nobody raised any questions at. 

Everyone knew that after all these long years of 10, finally Great Master Thompson's son was coming back home. It may be due to business purposes but still the fact that his blood was returning back to him was enough for him to celebrate as such. 

Great Master Thompson wanted to celebrate his son's welcome grandly but also with a slight greed in his heart to spend his last few days with him. 

The fact was not hidden from anyone that the Great Master Thompson's health was not going well since past year and now, he it had been even more worse. 

Doctors even predicted that he had not much time left with him to live now, which was one great worry for the Thompson's business empire. 

And concerning that issue, Master Ethan was the only rescue at last as he was the only heir of Great Master Thompson who can take over the dynasty after his father. 

Thankfully. 

Sylendra has helped Great Master Thompson at her very best to always be there with him in difficult times. 

But she still knew that no one can ever fill the space of his own blood in Great Master Thompson's heart. 

He loved his son to no end. Great Master Thompson always missed Master Ethan since he left him. 

As the schedule was still tight and busy for Sylendra, she rushed back to the highest floor where the new cabin of Master Ethan was located, in urgency. 

It was still the prohibited area for any normal employee to enter except for her. 

As it was the brand new cabin which was being designed and also arranged by Sylendra for Master Ethan, followed by the orders of Great Master Thompson. 

Holding no hint of emotions reflecting on her features but only anger, she sure was disturbed internally. 

The issue with the two men earlier, was stressing Sylendra truly as she held her device up to her ear while walking on the silent and dark hallways leading her towards the new cabin. 

"We need to hurry, it's already 10:30!" 

Sylendra spoke over the call in hurry as she finally approached the new cabin with all strictness while turning the knob and entering inside.

"I have told my secretary to contact the farm as soon as possible, need not worry about the rest Lendra."

The other man on the other side replied politely making her sigh, she has got no time to even watch herself right now than to actually mind the mess caused by the two men earlier. 

She knew she needed to find an urgent and early solution at her very best. Acknowledging well whom to contact at such urgencies, she couldn't think about anyone else but only one at the moment and it was...

None other than the man on the call, Dareek Grandbell.

Dareek was one of the most person of Sylendra outside the matter of Thompson's industry. 

That was one benefit actually. 

He was one very important social and public name being the very well known character in the entertainment industry. 

He was the most talked about celebrity in the industry at the moment of time, the rising star with the most promising future. 

Sylendra had many high profile contacts being at the position she held in the Thompson's industry for years now but the bond with Dareek, never limited till business purposes. 

Their relationship was actually very hard to be named. 

They shared one confidential friendship which was questionable for both too, they knew they always had each other at difficult times but deep down their bond confused them at the very same time too. 

Yet none cared to confess one another fearing the outcomes. 

It was sure one advantage of Sylendra having Dareek's back always at instant, it could be because he never helped her out of the difficult situations for his personal greeds and benefits. 

It was always because Dareek respected her and adored her as a woman. 

While same goes for the other way round, Sylendra respected her bond with Dareek equally too but still her priorities always held her back from confronting Dareek in that manner. 

She knew well that she owed a lot to the Thompson's to pay off. 

Hence, she had to mind her feelings for Dareek till she was done performing her responsibilities for Great Master Thompson.  

She never took anything for granted never, her loyalty always won for Thompson's more than her feelings for Dareek. 

Also he never complained either. Dareek always understood her complications. He respected her before loving her and that was enough for him to acknowledge that she was at least ready to invest her feelings for him before working any relationship with him out of trial. 

She was one beautiful woman in and out. 

"I cannot trust those two men with the job anymore, they have been lazing over everything which is beyond my limits now." 

Sylendra spelled out exhaustedly before dropping her things on the couch of the new boss's big office. 

"Why don't you report them to your uncle?" 

Dareek, on other side of phone replied in an understanding tone.

Obviously the matter with the two men was getting out of her hands already, she should report them if they are of no use. 

But again she really got no time to mind the two men's petty issues, all that mattered to her now was tomorrow's event. 

Master Ethan was going to take the charge of Thompson's business empire and till the entire process, Sylendra got no time for even herself. 

"Later, I would find time for that issue. Anyways, thank you. I couldn't think of anyone else-"

She uttered momentarily only to get cut off in the middle by Dareek on the other line, before she could have even completed her words. 

"You will have me... always, Lendra!" 

Hearing him smoothly, Sylendra took one short breath of shyness before soon letting a delicate chuckle out, she moved ahead and started taking her heels off to walk around comfortably in the new cabin and resume her work. 

"Dareek..." 

Sylendra uttered with her airy tone before smiling through all her worries which bothered her since the morning. 

He truly owned the power to make her forget all her tiredness with only few words of care. 

Dareek was a man of dream for Sylendra. 

"Goodnight." 

She wished softly a minute later tearing the peaceful silence of the two, which caused Dareek to chuckle out at her choice of smart words. 

She has always been one lady of intellectual senses. She was such a goddess in every way. 

"Goodnight, Lendra." 

Dareek greeted back before then disconnecting the call. 

Sylendra sighed a long sigh of relief erasing her uneasiness away before walking ahead more into the dark cabin to switch the lights on. 

She usually goes off after 7 but today it's already past 8 and she was still working. Working extra hours has been one normal thing for her but today was quite exhausting already.

Sylendra couldn't deny that she was tired, she really was! 

Her eyes got shut for a second to collect herself properly and concentrate then getting ready to resume her work again, she then eyed the new office briefly. 

It was well designed and spacious just as ordered by her foster father, Great Master Thompson. She was the one to design it making it spacious yet warm for one. 

Lights dim with nice ventilation totally opposite of Great Master Thompson's taste. He ordered her to arrange this new cabin for his son who will be taking over the work tomorrow. 

It was supposed to be his gift for him. 

Great Master Thompson is retiring and taking his place is the one and only son of his. A business economic and statistic master degreed tycoon from England who has never for once showed himself up in Newyork for more than 10 years.

It wasn't much surprising much either.

The rumours revealed that the son of Great Master Thompson, Master Ethan had been ruling his mother's territory in England for over 8 years now. 

He had been benefitted well in his mother's hierarchy. 

Sylendra never knew much about him growing up but one thing she did knew was how much he meant to her uncle. 

The foster father of Sylendra, Great Master Thompson! 

She momentarily threw her phone on the couch making it bounce on it before starting to approach the cabin's desk. 

Her eyes then went to all the huge boxes and undone furnitures making her tilt her head in uneasiness, reminding her well that she still had a lot to do. 

Roaming her sharp eyes again around the blank spacious cabin, she too discovered that only the couch and shelves were arranged but still it needed some hands, as she expected... she cannot trust anyone with all the duties. 

She need to do it all by herself only.

It was because the matter of Master Ethan was highly confidential till tomorrow's press conference. 

None should disturb his belongings either, which was strictly ordered not to be displayed without any care by Great Master Thompson himself. 

It contained important documents and many of his personal stuffs which could possibly cause a huge disaster if it gets leaked by any chance. 

Sylendra understood the protocols well, hence she was the best for this duty.
