Ouch! My CEO Fiancé Fell For His Maid

81- Not Allowed

“You need a haircut babe!” Eve lifted my hair strands and started examining them, “When was the last time you used hair conditioner, Ash.”

“I am hell busy, Eve.” I said still engrossed in my laptop, “By the way, they have assigned me a residential project near Arguli beach.” I told her excitedly.

The name Arguli beach still rang so many bells in my head. One year back, I visited the place with my friends but never went near those cottages. That was too painful for me.

“Wow! That’s interesting. A job with a nice view!” Eve said, sitting across the table, and started munching Doritos, “Want some?”

“Nah! You know very well how I hate those.” I scrunched my nose and ignored the offensive looks she was throwing my way.

“Never met a girl who hates Doritos.” She shrugged and resumed munching them.

“Oh, I hate those too.” Aniya came inside and grabbed the pack from Eve’s hands.

“Hey. Give me back!” But Aniya was filling her mouth with supersonic speed, “Aniya! You don’t even like them.” Poor Evelyne protested.

“Yeah. I hate them. I was taking revenge for messing up my blood pressure. They have sodium and salt content and it’s harmful to…”

“Guys.” I didn’t let her finish, “I need to finish this before my deadline. Go somewhere else. Shoo away

now!”

“What’s your next project?” Aniya came to sit beside me, dropping the Doritos wrapper on the floor and ignoring the killing looks Evelyne was shooting her way.

“Residential area near Arguli beach.” Eve snapped, “pick that up, Aniya otherwise I swear. I will sue your cleaning company. Look at the owner who can’t even clean her mess.”

“First, the mess is yours. It was not my wrapper. Second… I have got cleaning staff. The owner is supposed to chill.” She leaned back and placed her feet on the table.

I tried to hide the smile teasing the corner of my lips, “Aniya! Don’t push your luck.” I tried to warn her.

“Speaking of luck…” Aniya took off her feet from the table and leaned towards me, “When are you planning to visit Arguli beach? Maybe Eve and I can accompany you.”

I closed my eyes for a moment and moved to face her, “If that’s the case then I guess I won’t need to ask someone for the lift.”

Evelyne was the only one among us who owned a car.

I never needed it because most of my outdoor stuff could be done on foot. We both were now looking at Evelyne waiting for her to make up her mind.

“I will look into my appointment records. If it allows me then why not?” Evelyne announced and Aniya was on her feet in excitement,

“Oh, I love you, Eve.” She said kissing her cheek.

“I love you too, Aniya.” Eve smiled and shook her head. Sometimes I felt Aniya was not a grown–up but a kid in adult’s clothing.

“I still can’t believe… you met Rafael Wyatt!” Aniya said sitting behind me. Right now, we were en route to Arguli beach, and I told them all about my ted talk with the movie star.

“Yeah. Just one moment ago I was all alone trying to avoid Rayan and the next moment he was sitting beside me,” I shrugged and turned to see Eve who was busy driving.

“Ash. Open the maps on your phone.” Eve said and took the left turn, “And I agree with this movie guy. Look for signs, Ash.” She said busily.

“I am not against this sign idea, Eve. What if my past accidents were a sign from fate that I should stay away from Justin?”
