The Devil's Sweetheart

Chapter 127 - Brand Is His Name, Gentleman Is His Careof Address

Reese was shocked by Leena's bashful reactions and even more, she was surprised by the realization. It was evident on Leena's face that she is telling the truth but she has a hard time processing it into her brain. At least, she expected her brother to give a heads up if such an important thing concerned to Leena happened at the wedding, but he hasn't.

"And what's his name? I forgot to ask before." Reese asked if she could recall the person from her memory if she listens to the name at least.

"I don't know his name! In fact, I don't know anything about him." Leena conceded.

"What? Without knowing his identity, you liked him?" Reese shouted at Leena for being careless.

"And that's not the only thing! We even shared a kiss. Not once, twice." Leena's hand unconsciously traced her lips recalling their first and second kiss. Even now, her heart thumped when she recalled how he stole the second kiss cloaking everyone with his absurd theory.

"He is such a naughty fellow." With a shy demeanor, she hugged her pillow and even started rolling on the bed thinking it was Devin.

"OMG! What have you turned into, Leena? Now I want to know his name and see his face." Reese regretted going to the wedding. Leena was not even letting Ethan hold her hand in the past and right now she shared a kiss with an anonymous person and it seems she doesn't regret it and even shying away from thinking of him. Just who is he? Reese was very curious to know about this magical man.

"You don't need to know his name or see his face, Reese. Just his presence from far can set the world on fire. Brand is his name, gentleman is his care-of address. My man! Sadly I don't know his name." Proudly, Leena brandished him, if only Devin was here, he would have got a heart attack listening to her praises.

Reese " "

'She should have done certification in the crazy course and how come the great self-centered girl is praising someone other than her? No doubt! She has fallen for him completely.' Reese thought. But the way, Leena was praising, even Reese got goosebumps all over her neck wanting to see that manly creature.

"I never knew you would one day turn out to be crazy for a man. So, has he proposed yet?" Reese asked, pulling out her mobile to text Jane. Such an important matter, she can't let her best friend miss it.

"He hasn't. But for a change, I am planning to confess first." Leena explained the incidents that happened between them excluding Trent's matter thinking that Reese would freak out again.

"Wait, Wait! You have a premonition that he likes another woman already, but still, you both kissed each other? Seriously, Leena! I suggest you to stop brooding on your delusion before it gets worse. He is no good. There are plenty of fishes in the sea." Reese tried to explain to Leena. If she is not condoning, she made a note to take it to Francis and only he can reprimand this brat.

"I am sure there are plenty of fishes, Reese. But for the first time, this mermaid got her eyes fixed on that one specific salmon and I will not let anyone touch it." She flashed a brilliant wicked smile.

"So you are going to become a villain in his story and separate even if he has a girlfriend?" Reese asked, she knew about this crazy girl. If she wants anything, by hook or crook she would get it and until then she doesn't stop. 

'I have to take this matter to Francis when I meet him. Otherwise, this crazy girl would not even think twice to create chaos in some other person's life.' Reese thought to herself.

"Villain? Sounds good. But all in honest, no one can match my impeccable beauty except him. So only he can stand next to me, proudly." Leena replied.

There she started again! Reese bid goodbye and dashed into her condo not aiming to listen to her self-love drama again.

...

Soon after, Reese left, Carrot and Leena jumped onto the bed but her sleep was nowhere in reach. It's not even a day, she was missing him already. Leena got accustomed to sleeping in the same room just that it was separated by a door in Seattle. His presence mattered a lot when she was with him and now his absence is affecting her.

"When did he become such an important figure in my life?" Leena wondered.

In frustration, she pulled out her mobile and opened the contacts. She giggled seeing the name she saved his name on to her contacts. 

[My Deep-V-Diver]

She stole the number from Leah's mobile when she was not in her room. Leena thought at least she would get to know his name but to her annoyance, it was saved with his nickname again.

"He seems to have forgotten about me. Dirty fellow! Should I message him?" Leena glanced at the contact name for a long time and threw her mobile onto the bed recalling Drew's words.

"His grandfather is not well. He might be busy taking care of him." With a pout, she closed her eyes and slowly drifted into her sleep with a positive mind that he would contact her just like Drew said.

...

The light of dawn seeped into her room. Leena woke up and rubbed her bleary eyes. Getting fresh, she got ready to leave for the office. It's been ten days since she stepped into the office and suddenly going there she was feeling like a foreign world.

Reluctantly, she dragged her body to the office and the entire building was in a pin drop silence the moment she entered along with Reese and Carrot.

Clad in a black leaf printed vestido, the dress stopped at her mid calves giving an alluring look on Leena while Carrot was donned in a black polka-dotted tulle dress which Leena bought for her, she paired with a black hairband that was tied to her crown of the head. As for Reese, they didn't care to describe th dress. Carrot quietly entered her playroom right after entering the office not to disturb Leena with her work.

"My sweet employees! Did you all miss me?" Leena greeted cheerfully to get the spotlight and all the employees started greeting the witch except one girl and Leena wants the attention of that particular person and she went in her direction to annoy her. Until the woman got up from her seat, Leena rooted her spot batting her eyelashes innocently.

'She wouldn't bother even if other employees greet her or not but when it comes to me, she becomes an attention seeker. Why does she always target me?' Mandy thought internally. With no choice, she has to welcome the witch.

"Hello, Leena! How are you?" With gritted teeth, Mandy greeted her. 

"I was fine until you greeted, Mandy." Leena flashed a wink unable to resist the urge to mess with her enemy.

'Then why did you come and stood in front of me until I greeted, crazy witch. You deserve that name with all rights reserved.' Mandy wanted to shout out her thoughts but didn't dare to. She silently stood there flashing a smile but internally she was burning.

"You look cute with those chubby cheeks. Maybe you should seriously consider dating. Try the Wooplus app, I heard they have super hot guys for chubby girls." Pinching her cheeks, Leena walked away with a triumphant smile.

Mandy " "

"Did she hit her brain after going to a wedding or her soul got switched with someone?" Mandy couldn't believe that the man-hater she has been seeing for a long time is talking about dating now.

....

Right before Leena entered her office cabin, she spotted Renya coming out of the studio.

"What's up Renya?"

"Hey, Leena. How are you? Did you enjoy the wedding?"

"Well, Definitely yes and you should stop wearing grandma costumes." Leena strolled towards her and whispered in her ear. "Wear a sexy dress and go home early today. Seduce your husband by giving a full body massage. You understand what I am implying right? You should grasp him tightly in your clutches. There are many white lotus bitches lurking around. You shouldn't give a chance to them."

Renya " "

Reese shook her head witnessing Leena's drama. She wished Leena was better at being a man-hater.

"Reese, is she our Leena or a doppelganger?" Renya asked, her eyes bulged upon witnessing the scene. Renya couldn't believe the woman who asked to file a divorce on the first day of her marriage is talking about seducing a man.

"You know about her right? We never know how her crazy brain works. We don't have a choice except to follow her."

...

Three days later...

It's been three days, Leena neither received a call nor a message from him. All though she was acting calm and smiling to the outside world, she knew the burning pain she is enduring. She lacked the concentration to work and every time she tried to focus, his teasing smile or calling her sweetheart would torment her brain continuously.

"Did you forget about me? You must have met that woman already and that's why you are ignoring me, right? Bad fellow, teller of lies. You told me that you will always be there for me in my dream." Leena tried to hold into it, but her eyes cried out.

Wiping the tears away with her sleeves, she took a deep breath and opened her mobile to message him.

"Did you forget about me?"

Leena erased the message.

"I borrowed your jacket and I want to give it back to you..."

She erased the message again.

She felt like killing him once for all for playing with her feelings. Not able to concentrate on anything, Leena closed her eyes leaning on the chair to catch a nap but that was also disturbed by Reese.

"I am in no mood to listen to anything, Reese. Can you leave me alone?"

"Will you kill me if I tell you it's very important?" Reese asked feeling bad for Leena's state. For the past three days, she is acting worse than when she is on her period. Just who is this man torturing her endlessly?

"Even if you don't tell, I am planning to kill someone today. You better tell it now." In a weak voice, Leena replied.

"I got an email from WD and the CEO has personally dropped this time. He got information from his friend that you have been spreading rumors of him, having an affair with Emily Harper. If you fail to appear at his office tomorrow, he will have to sue you for trespassing his privacy." Reese gulped when Leena started burning with anger. She was wondering when Leena accused Devin's affair with that vile woman, Emily Harper.

"What!!" Leena jumped from her chair, her hands balled into fits not to strangle him.

"I shouldn't have believed that shameless idiot. He dared to deceive me and vomit out everything just because he is his friend? No wonder he has become the friend of that WD CEO. Both are chickenshits."

"Accept it, Reese. He wants me to be the model right? I will give him a big rejection in front of his employees tomorrow."

If Leena was fuming in anger, Reese was internally rejoicing thinking that she could meet her prince after a long time.

…

When the twilight kicked in, Reese and Leena walked out of the office to the hospital to meet Leena's mom.

Leena doesn't know what's anticipating tomorrow, but she was bound to get the biggest surprise.
