A Call?
Ch-185
Esther pressed the bell in her room calling Michelle. "President," she responded as she entered the room.
"Schedule a meeting with the Brunette family. Also… as for the Vritra groups, inform them we are no longer collaborating with them! But I want to meet the CEO of the Vritra groups. For that schedule a meeting. And… Call my family lawyer here tomorrow, I need to talk to them," she said.
"The presentation for Vritra groups would not be needed. We need a presentation for Brunette. Make proper changes according to that company!" Esther said.
"Anything else president?" she asked.
"Nothing. I am having a headache. Get me a headache pill," Esther replied.
From the time she got that dream, her head was having a splitting headache. She couldn't get rid of it no matter what she did. Pills are her last resort. Sigh…
Michelle knew Esther's headache. She faced a migraine headache which was hard to get rid of. There was even a time where she had to bear it for three days.
She ran out and went to the pharmacy. She brought pills for migraines. After that, she went to the canteen to grab some ice for Esther. After taking all she went to her cabin and gave the meds. After giving her meds, she pressed ice to her head and took care of her.

Later that day…
Nicholas handed over all his work to Michelle and left. He felt sad when he saw no reaction from Michelle. But what could he expect when he acted like an animal. He needed to make it up for her and treat her well. With determination, he went out. Also, the Miller's were in shambles. Her brother bought their business completely. He needed to show her, he was also capable of doing business and could take care of her well. Nicholas served Esther for a long time but still, he got kicked out. It hurt him but Esther did it for their good. Even though she was breaking them up, she wanted them to know how to respect each other.

Esther reached home after an arduous day. But she was stopped by her family. "Esther… Where did you go the last three days? We are so worried about you. I even planned to give a police complaint when you didn't even lift your phone. But grandfather said he sent you to the old palace for some work. You should have at least picked the call!" Lia vomited her list of complaints.
"Mom, sister is tired. Don't you see, she became thin. Grandfather, what are your servants doing not serving her properly? It's as if she is not fed for three whole days," Henry interjected.
"God! Could you guys give her a breather? She came from there and directly went to the company and worked her ass off. She did so many tasks in a day that even I couldn't do it.
"Lia, set the dining table by the time Esther comes here after freshening up," he said as he removed the flies that were surrounding his granddaughter.
Esther heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her family leave her alone. She went to her room and filled the tub and added lavender oil. After the water is at its right temperature she stripped and soaked in it. She closed her eyes while resting her hands on both sides of the tub and leaning on the tub.
The lavender started soothing her nerves as seconds passed. Her stiff muscles got relaxed making her feel a bit loose. Her migraine went away after taking meds and with the help of Michelle, it was better. Her eyes were burning hot but she forced them to open all day. So, now she closed them.
As she was relaxing, she heard her phone ringing resounding in the wide bathroom from Reggie.
A smile bloomed on her face when she saw the caller. She picked the call with her racing heart. Esther doesn't know why, but she doesn't want to disappoint the kid. After her talk with the lawyer, she would do the things that needed to be done. She will go to any lengths to get the little guy to her side.
"Hello, Mommy~~~" a hushed tone of Reggie could be heard from the other side.
"Why are you talking like that?" Esther asked with a frown.
"Dad is not allowing me to talk to you for two weeks for the hotel review incident. He made me study the whole week and didn't let me meet you," Reggie said with a pout by puffing his cheeks. Even though Esther couldn't see it, she could imagine his cute little actions. She smiled at the thought of this little guy's actions.
"Oh! Reggie, Will you come to dad's office the day after tomorrow. Mom will go there," Esther said.
"Okay! Mother!" Reggie shouted, forgetting the fact that his father gave him punishment. And the worst thing was Cyrus was in the room. Little Reggie forgot that his phone was bugged by his father, the moment their call connected, Cyrus came to his room to check.
"Reggie~~~" the voice of Cyrus made Reggie turn into a stone. He broke down just like that at the realization that he was caught.
"With whom you are talking, give me the phone?" The words of Cyrus sounded like a death song for his ears. He wanted to hide away but he knew his father was a shameless and powerful man. Reggie sighed at the harsh reality and his pathetic condition.
"Dad~~ What are you doing here?" he asked as a million invisible sweat drops appeared on his head.
"Give that…" he said.
"Nope, Dad. I am not using the phone?" Reggie said as hid the phone. The poor little guy forgot to hang the call. Cyrus felt annoyed and flicked his hand, the phone flew into his hands directly.
"Hello!" he said in his masculine voice
Author's Note:
Cyrus: I will give you the chance of being my woman. It's your boon to be my woman. Many women would die to be my woman but I am giving this chance to you.
Esther: Then give them a chance. I am not dying. I already chose a man. You may get lost.
Cyrus: (calls Ben*) find the man who is liked by Esther and make him a beggar. *burns in the pot of jealousy*
