Secret Love Of The Ceo 137 Lucas Again?

               She called his number. She heard it rang near her bed. Yes, it was lying on the table. So, John even did not take his mobile also. 

              She called the guards on the main gate. But they too said that he has not left the home. After checking all the rooms, she decided to search him in the garden.

              As she was going downstairs, something caught her attention. She saw a dim light from the balcony of the house. It was a big balcony, which was separated by a gla.s.s wall and curtains. The front side of the balcony was facing the garden. She forwarded towards the balcony. 

             She shocked to see the scene. John was sitting on an inclined chair there and smoking nonstop. A lot of cigarette b.u.t.ts had already thrown to the ashtray. Zinu never saw him smoking. But this scene broke her heart, She felt like a dagger was stabbing in her heart.

'Does this bomb incident has such an effect on him that he started smoking? I have to help him to relieve his stress.' She thought and went near him.

               The whole balcony was covered with the smell of tobacco. She felt suffocated. But how could she leave him in this state? She stood beside his chair and kept her hands on his shoulder. John was lost in his thoughts that much that he did not notice Zinu. When he felt her hand on his shoulder, he looked at her but said nothing.

"Hubby, I am going to ma.s.sage you."

                Zinu started to ma.s.sage John's shoulder. John closed his eyes. Zinu took the burning cigarette from his hand and throw it to the ashtray. John said nothing. She continued her ma.s.sage. From shoulder to his forehead and then head. John did not open his eyes. He was enjoying her ma.s.sage and felt relieved. She ma.s.saged him for almost half an hour.

              Zinu could hear John's heavy breath. She checked on him. He already slept in his chair. Zinu sighed. She brought a blanket and covered him with it and left.

              She tried to sleep in the bedroom, but could not. How could she sleep in the bedroom alone, when her dear husband is sleeping in the balcony? So, she brought another blanket for herself and slept in another chair near John.

               Next morning she woke up early. She looked around her and surprised to found herself in bed. John must bring her here. She smiled and searched for John. He was not in bed with her. She got up and hurriedly go to the balcony. But he was not there also.

"Wifey are you searching for me?" Zinu heard John's voice from the entrance of the balcony.

"Where were you? You were not in the bedroom, so I was worried." Zinu said pouted.

"I was in the bathroom. Come with me ." John hold her hand and went to their bedroom together.

"Zinu, I am sorry. You had to go through a lot for me. Last night you could not sleep properly."

"It's ok hubby. How can I sleep in peace, when you are in so much stress? Thank you for bringing me here. I am going to take a shower. After that, we will have our breakfast together. Ok?"

            John nodded. Zinu left him with a smile. John again lost in thought.

"Hubby doesn't worry too much. It will affect your health. You have a family behind you. You should think about yourself too. "Zinu said when she came out of the bathroom and see him in the same state, as she left. She was worried about him.

"Zinu, I am worried about the workers. He is my enemy. If he attacks me, I can counter-attack him in a strong way. But if he attacks the innocent people for me, it is unbearable for me. Today luckily you saw the message in time, so we can save the life of the innocent people. But what about tomorrow? I know he will attack again in future. He knows that it would affect me more, if he attacks my people, instead of me."

"Hubby, don't be weak. If he wants to make you weak by attacking the innocent employees, you should show him that it is not so easy. You have got the current position in the business world by showing your own talent and presence of mind. Getting this position must not be easy for you to get in the past also. You must have to go through many hards.h.i.+ps. Now, why are you afraid? It is not a difficult challenge for you. You can do it. I know you will find a way to solve this problem too. I believe that you would get rid of this enemy very soon."

"Zinu, I know I can destroy this enemy, but what if he harms my people before that? I am feeling guilty about that. They had to suffer for me."

"Hubby. Don't worry. I know you will save all the people from any trouble. Just believe in yourself. And apart from that, we are all with you."

"Thank you Zinu for your support. I need help from you too."

"What is it?"

"I will discuss it in the office. Now let's go and have breakfast. It's already late for the office."

             They had their breakfast together and left for office. As they almost reached the office, John received a call from Karl.

"Boss, please don't come through the front gate. There are some reporters waiting for you, near the front gate. I am waiting for you at the back gate."

"Ok," John replied and instructed the driver to go through the back gate. They reached John's private parking place, which he rarely uses. Karl was waiting for him there.

"Good morning boss. Some reporters are waiting for a long time. There is two union leader also present. They want to speak with you."

"Call the union leaders to my cabin." He said and entered his private lift with Zinu.
