Chapter 187 - Soon To Be My Wife!

Javier was coming from the office when he entered his room to find Jennifer busy reading a boom.

Without disturbing her, and letting her know about his presence, he kept his trench coat on another side and took small steps towards her.

Giving her attention, she lifted her eyes to meet his with a faint smile covering her lips, "You are back… good! But.. why so early?"

"There Is a special occasion tonight." with this, Javier too sat by her side and when she closed her book.

A curious glint appeared on her face when she asked her, "Occasion?"

"Yes, an occasion. We will be having some guests tonight. Charles asked all the family members to come together for this."

This amazed Jennifer to some extent.

'Why is he telling me this if his brother wants all the members? I'm not a member of the family..' if corrected, she was s a simple hostage living under their roof.

The puzzled expressions of hers did make Javier understand that she is clueless about whatever he said.

"I mean.. he wants you to be present there too. Since you are living with us, you hold natural to join the dinner."

"But if the others are some private guest.. then I think my presence will not be needed too. Moreover, I'm not a member.. you know." She tried to sound rational.

Deep down, her gut feeling also gave her a negative sign about this dinner, making her all the possibilities to avoid this.

"Correct but brother wants you to enter so why not. You need not worry, I will not let anyone say anything to you. You can rest assured."

Javier gave her entire assurance, leaving no position for her to reject without any solid reason.

Jennifer felt some unknown feeling arising in her heart. As if, a disaster was supposed to come on her way very soon….

….

The night arrived and the man who was supposed to coming was going to arrive very soon, she guessed

Jennifer decided to wear some light clothes since the dinner was held at their house itself. Wearing a blue color Frock of knee-length, and paired it with high heels she looked perfect.

The dress was of none other than Amaira, who lent her to use it for the night.

There wasn't any revokation from her side too which made Jennifer feel great.

Standing in front of the mirror, she looked at her dress from top to both. And smiled in satisfaction, "This is perfect.."

At the same time, Javier stepped out of the washroom while wearing a black shirt whose collars were folded upwards, with dark-colored jeans.

Her gaze traveled on his wear and she gulped the leftover saliva with her heart suddenly hammering out of blue. "Y..you look handsome."

"Thank you. You too, look beautiful in this dress." The comment brought a faint blush on her cheeks which she hid before he would have taken in count.

"Shall we go down now?" Javier asked, extending his hand to her which she grabbed friendly without my hesitation.

"Yes! let's go now."

With this, they stepped out of the room and closed the door behind them.

Walking through the belonging passage, they were right on the way towards the stairs.

But in the middle, Jennifer asked with her curious mind. "Who exactly is the person?"

Since he didn't tell her, she wanted to know if this is a personal meet or not.

"Never met him in person. All I know is that.. the man is the new partner of brother and will be collaborating g with us. He is from abroad a new person in the market."

Javier's explanation was satisfactory but her heart chained more.

"But why would a person come forward to your state and try to establish a market?" Without giving it much of her thought the words slipped so easily when Javier only smiled.

"I have many guesses too. Let us see why the other man is here.."

She wasn't satisfied but knew that there would be a big reason, that is why the man is coming here otherwise he would have simply kept on going on in the abroad market

'Maybe, he is coming with his family too. And a new person from abroad? Must be any family man..' knowing how much time does it take for anyone to set up abroad, she believed the person to be an old man.

Yet the ominous feeling never faded but only grew with each last minute.

Only she is aware, how her guts are telling about this meet and her heart wasn't settled about the same.

Why!? Not like she is doing the deal.

But she never brought her fear on her face.

Following Javier, with their hands into hands, finally descended the stair.

There was a bright smile on both of their faces. What came in the view was a man, with a broad back, talking with Charles happily.

The couple proceeded to meet him when Javier caught their attention.

Charles, firstly for all sensed their presence and asked the man to turn around to give an introduction. "Oh, finally you are here!"

"Meet Austin Brown, from abroad." Moving ahead, towards Javier and Jennifer, he continued to say, "He is Javier, my younger brother, and.. she is Ms. Jennifer Taylor."

Austin nodded his head while taking a glimpse of Jennifer's expressions which showed how dumbfounded she was from top to bottom.. not getting her much attention under which he extended his hand in Javier's direction.

"Nice to see you, Mr. Johnson. Heard too much about your brother." Shaking the hands with a firm grip, Javier agrees, "Pleasure to meet you too."

"May.. I know who is this..gorgeous lady beside you?" Austin, finally moved his eyes in Jennifer's direction to ask about her introduction in a brief manner.

Noticing Austin's lingering gaze at Jennifer's face, made Javier slightly uncomfortable.

To ease the situation, he blurted out without giving it much of his attention.

"She's my girlfriend and soon to be my wife, Jennifer."

...

I know Javier is.. moving too much...Ahem..
