Chapter 335 - You didn't marry
At late afternoon...
The atmosphere is as lively as ever. The guests are busy in talking with each other and they constantly moved from one table to other meeting all their business partners.
All were in very happy mood to meet like this. Some have even found their childhood friends and are as delighted as ever. Some of them have started introducing their children to one another in a hope that they would start dating.
Meanwhile the 'power couple' are no where to be seen. Though most of the businessmen wanted to meet them but they haven't found them anywhere and later got to know that they are busy in preparing for wedding.
Maria who don't like socializing sat down in far corner and started sipping her wine.
"You haven't changed at all Maria" a person sat down across her.
She looked at him and sighed. She took a another sip a continued watching a small glass idol in front of her. Totally ignoring his presence..
"We met after a long while. At least talk now…please" he softly asked her.
"I have nothing to talk much Thomas. My life is always same…" she scoffed.
It is Thomas Smith(Elena's husband)
"I have been seeing your progress. Congrats for becoming such a successful doctor unlike me" he smiled.
"Like father like child. There is nothing special about me…right. At least you did something you wanted" she smiled back sadly.
He never wanted to become a doctor but because of his father's pressure he got forced to join. But later he retaliated and started his own company with the help of his mentor.
"You didn't marry…" he asked her the question that had been bothering him for years.
"No.. I didn't" Maria pursed her lips. A tiny drop made its way from her eyes and fell on the wooden table.
"But Why?" he asked her with a same sadness throbbing his heart.
For gods sake….she 'was' his best friend and he couldn't see her tearing up.
It is same like Jean and David. They are that close 'once'.
"Huh….what is that question. I never thought you will ask that question Thomas. You don't know me well enough then" she mocked him but her voice trailed away with the overwhelming emotions.
"Of course I knew Mar. But he is dead…you should move on….you can't stay single forever" he softly scolded her.
"He was my only love Thomas. I can't forget him nor I can move on. Sophia gave me a new life when Jeff came into my life and I will also get Jean soon. They are enough for this life" she smiled.
"I am sorry Maria. I have not contacted you since that incident…I am extremely sorry. I was guilty" he choked up.
"Yes, you are guilty. A big a***** I ever met and you are the worst friend he have got. If you would have been more cautious he might be alive now" Maria controlled her tears.
"Sorry Mar. I am really sorry…For Sophia and also for him." He apologized sincerely as tears welled up in his eyes too.
"Fine…fine. Don't become crybaby again. Tell me, how is your daughter…" Maria is one of the very few people who knows about his hidden daughter.
After all they have been friends since 'he' died…
"Because of gods grace she is in safe hands. Her boyfriend is powerful enough to protect her…she is lucky to have him" Thomas smiled.
"It's good to hear. But I am warning you…take care of Vanessa and her schemes. I don't want Jean to face problems because of her and her brother" Maria warned him.
"I will Mar. Let Jean have her revenge first. Later I will take care of it." Thomas said.
"But Thom…you should talk to Elena about your past and first wife. She will surely understand and don't delay it any further" Maria suggested him.
"Hey… you called me Thom. So are we friends again" he squealed happily.
"Don't take it as granted you idiot. I still hate you" Maria giggled.
"I know about the group photo you still have in your lab. You didn't forget us…" he smiled warmly.
As Elena started searching from him, He stood up and before going he looked at her again. "Maria, don't worry about Jean and Jeff. There are someone more powerful protecting them in shadows. Just bring Jean to her home. Don't think about anything else" he said and turned away.
"You know something more than what I know. Right…" Maria asked him.
"Yes. But I cant tell you now" He purses his lips and went back to his wife and son.
...…..
Jean and remaining girls are taking a short break before getting their make up done. Right now they have a face pack spread on their faces and their eyes were closed with cuc.u.mber.
They are enjoying the silence in separate rooms away from their possessive boyfriends. The doors are left opened to allow the spa staff to help them.
But like always Scott missed her and sneaked into Jean's room and sat down in front of her, staring at her intimately while he waited for her to open her eyes…
But after some time he felt bored and thought of some mischievous plan. He walked to her slowly from behind and cupped her mouth preventing her from shouting.
However even before he could kiss her neck, Jean twisted his arm and swiftly evaded him before opening her eyes.
"You…" Jean shouted.
"Ta da it's me. You got startled aren't you? Baby" Scott hugged her though she pushed him away .
"Idiot, because of you my face pack got spoiled. Can't you just kiss my shoulder or hug my waist…" Jean pouted and sprinted to washroom.
Scott grinned foolishly and followed her inside, so he could do what she asked him earlier. Besides it he also want to kiss the hell out of her before parting away for more than four hours.
The other thing he noticed is, like always, she didn't deny his affection. She just wanted him not to touch her face and neck…
After cleaning her face Jean turned towards Scott and kissed him passionately. She exactly know what was going in his mind. Moreover she couldn't deny it because she too wanted him..
"Another… please" Scott pouted his lips and pointed to his lips.
Jean giggled and gave him a other kiss. "One more" Scott asked again, but however Jean throwed him out of the room mercilessly. Because she knew very well what this would lead too…
After that she applied her face pack again and closed her eyes. But anyway as she expected the door creaked open again.
Jean sighed as she thought how stubborn Scott is, so this time she decided to stay calm and let him go whatever he likes…
But the person who entered is not Scott but Sean..
