After that episode.
Sally’s point of view.
I narrowed my eyes as I heard her. I was not anticipating her saying that.
“What do you mean?” I asked her in an abrasive tone.
Jolene bit into the apple, smirked at me, and then added, “Sally, I’m not saying anything. All that is seen is your face. Your face is the mirror of everything. “
It is quite annoying. Why does she say this to me? Does she have any intentions? I need to stop her from saying things like this. What if Farru Sir learned about it? What will I do then? I’m aware that Sir will react very badly. He might dismiss me from my job just as easily.
But now I have to keep Jolene under control at all costs.I simply do not believe her. At any cost, I am not going to tell the truth.
So I asked, “What does my face say, ma’am?”
“It just goes to show how much you adore Mr. Farru,” she remarked.
When I heard her, I tightened my lips but did not answer.
………….
“But, as far as I know, you usually stalk him at his house,” Jolene remarked, steepling her fingers. ” You made an effort to remain with him when he returned home.”
Sally drew her brows upward. It was normal for her because she was a maid there. Sally, on the other hand, was simply attempting to persuade herself and Jolene. She stalked Farru, that’s right, she stalked him. Then what?
Can’t she stalk him? Can’t she watch her love?
She loves Farru, but she never asks him to return. If that is the case, why is she obliged to respond to Jolene’s query?
Sally answered austerely and brittlely to Jolene. She spoke to her with full consent.
Sally: You’re blaming me without reason, madam. There is nothing else like it.
Jolene: Sally, it is not a sin to love someone. I am just asking, nothing else. If you truly care about someone, you should at least make an effort to win him over. That’s all I intended to say.
As Jolene was saying, Jolene bit into an apple and peered out the window. Sally didn’t take her eyes off of her. Suddenly, she began to consider Jolene’s remarks.
Sally’s point of view.
Try? Will he still love me if I try? He adores his girlfriend, though.
No, what I am thinking. It’s not right. I can’t think of this kind of thing. Jolene was only trying to manipulate me. I won’t be so easily manipulated by her. I don’t need anything; I’m happy just to see him from a distance.
…..
Liam pushed open the door and said, with a broad smile, “May I come in, ladies?”
Sally smiled as she stepped up from the tool and delicately bent her head.
In response to her welcome, Liam gave a little nod and then turned to face Jolene. He gave Jolene a cordial welcome.
Liam: Good day, Ms. Jolene. How are you doing today?
Jolene: Mr. Liam, I’m doing OK.
She remarked with a smile on her face.
Liam: Didn’t I warn you not to call me Mr. Liam? Only Liam is lovely to hear.
In a flirtatious manner, Liam sat down in front of Jolene and stated. He was met with a pleasant gesture from Jolene as she wriggled her eyebrows.
Jolene: Don’t tell me afterwards if I made a nice move on you.
Liam answered her in an ethereal tone.
Liam: I will not let you down, beauty.
He then asked with a smile on his face.
Liam: So what exactly are you two talking about? Did I bother you at all?
Sally was standing behind Liam. She was overhearing their innocent-sounding flirtatious exchanges. But she was thinking about something else. She was thinking of Farru. She was considering what would happen if she touched him as well as telling him how much she loved him.
Would he hate her? Would he treat her badly? Would he refuse her a second chance to see him? Would he throw her out of his home?
Could she see them together? Could she endure the pain if he remained with his girlfriend?
Sally took a long breath, not knowing that Liam was calling her. Liam, on the other hand, snapped and called her name quite loudly.
Liam: sally.
Sally shivered when she heard Liam’s voice. She reacted with widening eyes and a hesitation.
Sally : y-yes.
Liam: What are you thinking?
Sally tightened her palms and answered in a nervous tone.
Sally: Sir, it’s nothing. I wa-.
However, Jolene abruptly halted Sally in the middle of her words. Jolene smiled and said her thoughts in a witty way.
Jolene: I think Sally is thinking about her lover.
When Sally heard Jolene, she paused and gazed at her with wide eyes. She didn’t expect Jolene to say something like that. It’s a really awkward situation. She was worried about what she would say if Liam asked her a question. Liam asked as to what had happened, which was what Sally had been thinking.
Liam: what? Lover? Has Sally found love?
He asked as he turned to face Sally. Sally dropped her gaze while showing a tight expression. She didn’t even consider that Jolene would reveal it to him.
Liam: sally.
Sally raised her eyes and spoke to Liam in a shaky and frightened tone.
Sally: Sir, it’s nothing. Ma’am is making fun.
Suddenly, as Sally spoke, Jolene burst out laughing and remarked.
Jolene: Take it easy, Liam. I was only joking. Don’t take anything too seriously.
Liam: I know you were joking. But I also know she can’t love anyone.
Jolene asked emphatically as she narrowed her gaze.
Jolene: Why?
Liam grinned at Jolene and stated in a funny tone.
Liam: It’s secret.
Jolene sighed and rolled her eyes. Then they began conversing independently. Sally kept her gaze fixed on Liam. Regarding Liam’s statements, she was a bit perplexed.
Sally’s point of view.
What did Sir mean by “secret”? I hope he is unaware of my affection for Farru Sir. I agreed with him to come here because of Farru Sir. So when he offered to take care of Farru Sir, I couldn’t say no. It was as if God had heard my heart’s cry for grapes and then magically sent them to me from heaven.
But whatever it is, Jolene is the trouble.
She tries to frighten me. What exactly does she want?
…….
Scenario 3.
In the afternoon, at Daniel’s house.
Alex returned home with a sad expression on his face. He was a tad nervous about the morning.
James is coming to his house tonight, and Alex doesn’t believe he’ll let him go so easily because of what happened in the morning.
Alex twisted the doorknob to open it. When Diana noticed Alex, she sprang out of bed and asked, “When are you coming, honey?”
Alex responded to her in a drained manner.
Alex: just right now.
Diana: Is everything okay there?
Alex was sitting at the edge of the bed. He closed his eyes, steepled his fingers over his forehead, and said.
“Diana, James will visit our home tonight,” stated Alex.
“Diana asked, “Did James come back here?”
Alex gave a honest nod but remained silent.
“But Elise didn’t inform me about that,” Diana said, with a worried tone.
“Diana, I don’t know about your friend’s situation, but our situation is going to be worse,” Alex said.
“What?” “What did you mean by that?” Diana asked.
While loosening his tie, Alex sighed and muttered.
Alex: Musa is here. And he just insulted James and threw him out of the meeting room today. James was insulted in front of everyone.
Diana placed her hands over her lips and spoke in an undertone.
Diana: What are you really saying?
Alex: Yes. Musa backed Sheetal as well. It’s good for us, but it’s also terrible for us. I called up this meeting and delayed them from dismissing Sheetal, and James somehow figured that I was the one who did it.
Diana placed her hands on Alex’s shoulders and sighed loudly.
Diana: Okay, so we have to put up with his rage now. But I’m thinking about Sheetal and Daniel’s relationship. It would have been easier if I had told you to plan their wedding before James arrived, but it will now be quite difficult.
Alex: difficult? You say it is tough, but I think there is a zero percent possibility that it will happen.
Diana slumped onto the bed while tightening her eyes.
Diana: Alex, if we go with Maria, she will always have the upper hand over us. Just try to imagine. And I don’t want that useless girl to rule over me. Except for the money from his father, she really has nothing. And I think Sheetal may be more advantageous than Maria. And I genuinely think that if Sheetal succeeds as a surgeon, our hospital will be profitable, and she may occasionally help you with some of your projects as well.
Alex pursed his lips and rubbed his neck towards the back.
Alex’s point of view.
I know Diana, I know. But right now, I’m considering those funds. It was a substantial sum of money. It won’t be easy for me when he comes here tonight.
……
Diana abruptly asked while shaking Alex’s shoulder.
Diana: What are you thinking?
Alex: Diana, that jerk took a lot of cash from the institution’s coffers without our knowledge.
Diana uttered at the top of her lungs.
Diana: What? Don’t tell me you were involved as well, Alex.
Alex stretched out his arms and let out a frustrated sigh.
Alex: Diana, no way. Do you believe that bastard would share? I was completely unaware of this. Musa arrived at this location having completed all the planning. He had done so much research that he swiftly caught James. A meeting has been scheduled for tomorrow. If James cannot adequately explain things to him, he may be able to kick him out of the stockholders.
Diana breathed a sigh of relief and gave thanks to God.
Diana: Thank God, we’re all okay.
Alex: No we are not, Diana.
Diana: So what are you thinking?
Diana asked Alex in a serious manner.
Alex: James won’t be able to take this disrespect. First it was his insult, then it was throwing him out in front of everyone, and now it’s all about his reputation. What if he makes another attempt to kill Musa?
Diana tightened and droopy her lips. She was also aware of the consequences. So Diana touched her husband’s hand and attempted to encourage him.
Daniel’s voice appeared out of nowhere. When Daniel knocked on the door, Alex told him to come inside. Diana smiled and remarked after spotting Daniel.
Diana : Baby, you’ve finally come.
Daniel: Yes, mom. James uncle told me to stay tonight.
Alex asked him about it with furrowed eyebrows.
Alex: How did you find out?
Daniel: uncle told me.
Alex: Where did the two of you meet?
Alex quickly asked Daniel questions one at a time.
Daniel: dad
“Dad, last night I was there,” he remarked as he rubbed his neck.
Alex: What?
Diana’s eyes widened and she spoke out.
Diana: What did you say?
Daniel: Yes, mom. I was with Maria.
Alex asked in an abruptly louder tone.
Alex: Why didn’t you let us know?
Next episode.
Musa: Do you even bother trying to find out? Or are you simply showing off that you care?
Farru: What do you mean by it?
Musa: You didn’t do anything; you just showed me your anger. Then look, I find out why she was a target. And why is that the case? And you? You couldn’t find anything.
Farru: “What do you mean, dad?”
Musa: Oh, come on, Farru. Try not to act like Romeo. Do you even know that your Juliet has an admirer as well?
