Chapter 367 - Next to my door...

"I said that my boyfriend is my boss" Hope blushed.
Enrick almost lost his balance and tumbled listening to it..
"Are you nuts Hope. How can you use my name. Did you loose your mind" Enrick deadpanned and he almost shouted.
But magically he didn't feel this hostile towards her. And unknown to him, he is already slowly falling for her.
He like how she interacts, be carefree and naughty. She is a lively girl with full of playfulness and positive vibes.
But contrary to her, his life is full of threats and danger. He must be vigilant every time and also have to put a cold and aloof mask to mold himself as perfect leader.
What if she have to sacrifice everything after coming into his life. He remembered Danielle who is now surrounded by almost twenty to thirty bodyguards where ever she goes.
Moreover she started liking to stay in home rather than going out just because she don't want big brother to worry about her. But he don't want Hope to change herself just to be with him.
It is the reason he never encouraged any of his ideas to get close to her. But however his friends are constantly trying to pair them up. But he knew his limits.
However Hope saw a sudden changes in his expressions. Anger to tender and then confused. Later he felt a guilt which again morphed into determination. She didn't understand what's happening.
"Boss, don't worry much. You are not the only boss I have. As I work as intern under you I also have to learn business classes from my other boss...so don't be angry" she said dully and her eyes misted.
"I might have a crush on you but that doesn't mean I will use it in all aspects. Sorry if I offended you" She mumbled and turned away.
He felt sudden guilt for talking rashly with her. He could tell that she is hurt by his words. Again.. He never felt this immense guilt anytime in his life.
He knew that she is indeed special to him. After all she is courting him since almost one year...though she got a job as chief surgeon in one of the hospital she still opted to work under him.
Jean smirked inside. Hope is really too good with her words. Firstly, she have once told Hope that Rick is not a jealous type. Unlike Scott he is very logical minded. But when it comes the factor 'love', Scott is too jealous type. Even a single word praising a other man is enough for him to open up.
And that is the reason Hope didn't nag about it long. Secondly, Enrick don't like to make others sad because of him. So by now he would be drowning in guilt for talking rashly with Hope.
As they moved into the restaurant, Enrick approached Hope. "Sorry for talking like that. I don't know that you will get hurt by it" he apologized.
"No worry boss. Actually when I said that I have a boss as boyfriend it is not my other boss. Because she is a woman." She giggled and ran into the restaurant.
Enrick didn't understand whether to laugh or cry. This girl is surely a one kind...rare and unique it is the reason he don't want her to get into his dangerous life.
He went inside the restaurant only to find the couple's immersed in kissing their partners. He shook his head slightly and turned to see Hope who didn't even mind the dog food being thrown at them.
Little he knew that they are doing this deliberately so he will at least imagine his first kiss with a woman sitting beside him.
As they expected he started to imagine her cute and rosy lips on his red lips. It felt good, but this thought vanished as fast as it hit his mind.
Coughing loudly he at last succeeded in making this shameless couple come back to reality.
After ordering food, Jeff looked at Jean who is sitting stiff. He didn't understand why she is acting nervous till he noticed Scott's hand skimming on her thigh and his feet teasing her legs.
"Jean, you both will be coming to country X on this Sunday right" he started their conversation.
"Yep, what about you. I think you are in charge of Valdez hospitals in country X" Jean asked.
She is not aware that he begged his grandfather to send him to country X, just because he can see his twin sister everyday and if lucky strengthen their relation.
"Same here. This Sunday I will shift to Iris's penthouse" he said and Iris blushed.
At last her dream to live together with Jeff came true. Thanks to her sister in law Jean for that.
Instantly Enrick frowned. He thought that Jeff will be staying with him but he is going to live with his sister…
"Hey, you never told me about it…" Rick asked his little sister.
"Brother I am grown up and I can take decisions. So let me enjoy my time with Jeff. If you feel alone why don't you get yourself a girlfriend" Iris retorted.
"And brother, the penthouse you are living now is actually mine. So I should ask you to vacate it for me and Jeff" she ordered.
Enrick sighed. "Three of us can share it right. Iris you know that my house is so far from the hospital.." he pouted.
Jean laughed. "Rick, you are too bad when it comes to love and relationsh.i.p.s. A couple should be left alone so they can spend some quality time with each other. You will be the third wheel" Jean explained.
Scott agreed. "Otherwise they will be frustrated" he said.
"Fine.. Fine. Jeff at least give me your condo and I will stay there" Enrick asked.
Jeff agreed and told him the address.
"That is next to my door" Hope's shocking voice trailed off.
