Chapter 10 - Weakness to be exploited

2 months later...

Ruhan was feeling utterly bored in his office. Nothing seems to interest him now-a-days.

His father had assigned him to this job in order to train him properly to the join main office. But it was useless as Ruhan had conveniently found 2 capable juniors to assist him. Other than signing some papers he didn't need to do anything.

Recently he even had the juniors copy his signatures for him. Isn't it just approving some funds and operations? He didn't think he needed to be that careful for it.

Moreover, would those juniors without any background dare to deceive him?

He even thought of picking some girls and play with them. But gave up that idea. None of them are fun enough. They just couldn't wait to climb his bed. He also didn't have the mood to blackmail any girl. They always cry too much. Too disturbing.

Ruhan felt some regret. Why couldn't they be more like that little kitten Lisa? Then life would not be so boring.

He was also disappointed with Lisa very much. He thought that Lisa would at least fight back. At least resist a bit. Then it would have been more fun to slowly make her his.

Who knew that she would admit defeat in first wave of attack and go into hibernation?

LiCorp was already declared bankrupted and was bought by an unknown company. After changing ownership, the company shifted its main office from the capital, Dhaka to Chittagong.

As for Lisa...he didn't hear any news about her for 2months. He could investigate her. But why bother? She was just like other girls. All bark no bite.

When the company faced real difficulties she just ran with tail inbetween her legs.

Ruhan sighed. It seems like that girl is really ruthless. She did sacrifice her brother for herself. If she had begged to him, Ruhan might have even spared her. But it seemed that she prioratised her ego more than anything.

Of course if he had investigated the unknown company, he would have seen Lisa in a whole new light.

.

.

It was at this time Ruhan got his long awaited phonecall.

"Hello, who is this?", Ruhan asked in a polite voice. His voice was melodious and pleasant to hear. For this reason he used to be selected for presentation and speech in his school.

It must be admitted that in bushiness world, it doesn't matter if you can produce good product only. You need to learn how to sell them well.

Even if we the project wasn't good enough, Ruhan could still make people like them merely with his presentation skill.

That's why in group works his teammates did most of the hardworks and all Ruhan had to do was presenting them. Isn't it irony? Other people would do most of the hard works but he got most of the credits just because he had the looks and voice. Who knew how much others contributed to the project? People only saw Ruhan presenting them and only recognised him.

"Can we meet?" the caller didn't introduce herself but how could Ruhan not recognise Lisa's voice?

Hearing her voice, Ruhan became ecstatic. Finally the rat has come out of her hole!!!

Although he recognised her voice but how could Ruhan not make things difficult for Lisa?

"I am sorry but do I know you?" he asked in a confused voice.

"It's Lisa", Ruhan clearly heard the sound of gritting teeth through the cellphone. Little girl must be trying to suppress her anger.

Ruhan chuckled, " Oh my dear friend Lisa! You have no idea how much I missed you! How is brother Liton? Is he alive and kicking? "

Lisa almost cursed Ruhan.

"Just forget that I called". She is too lazy to bother with him.

"Wait wait! Don't be so short tempered. Isn't it a normal courtesy to ask about the wellbeing of your loved ones?", this girl had contacted him after a long time. How could Ruhan let her hang up the phone?

" Who is your loved one?" Lisa snorted, "I have called you for an important reason to if you are in a playful mood then forget it."

Lisa really didn't sound like someone who was about to ask for a favour.

Ruhan decided to stop teasing her 'for now'.

"My office welcomes you 24/7 dear. If you want to talk, you can come at lunch time."

He paused and then added, "but if you want to do something else, make it dinner time," he said in a suggestive voice.

He seemed to be completely addicted to teasing her.

"Go to hell Ruhan", Lisa finally lost temper.

" Gladly if you accompany me little kitten.", Ruhan was amused. The boredom had already evaporated.

Lisa directly hung up the phone.

Ruhan thought Lisa would not contact him again today. He was surprised when his secretary notified that Lisa was there.

He didn't understand why he became nervous. He even looked at his reflection at the mirror lest he should look messy. He just took a nap two hours ago.

Lisa came up to the office and entered unceremoniously without waiting for permission.

Ruhan chuckled. This is really typical of her. Other than her who would dare to walk into his office like this?

"This young master is at your service. What can I do for you madam?", he winked at her.

Lisa bit her lip. She was still angry when she stormed into the office.

But when she remembered the reason of her coming here, she became nervous.

The words she had to say no longer came from her mouth.

Ruhan also noticed her nervousness. He became amused.

" Why are you so nervous dear? I will not eat you."

Then he suddenly thought of something and his smile widened.

"Well, I might eat you in a way..but I can assure you that you won't feel bad."

His words made Lisa nauseous.

"I want a non disclosure agreement and full treatment of my brother will be conducted here. None of the procedures will need your approval anymore. "

Ruhan became speechless.

Non disclosure agreement? Are you serious? Is he bitten by a dog that he would go around disclosing this shameful matter to anyone? He has a reputation to build.

"By not telling anyone I meant ANYONE. Features of a birl flock together. I don't want those feathers know about our matter."

Lisa didn't believe Ruhan wouldn't brag about this to his friends. Afterall Lisa was famous for being cold to the opposite sex in their circle.

"Why do I feel like I am being treated like an object? I have feelings you know." Ruhan feigned grief. "Would it kill you to say something sweet to me?

You treated that scumbag Miraz so well! Am I not handsome enough? "

He started to act like an abandoned wife.

Lisa was speechless again.

If he wasn't a business man he could easily make a fortune out of his acting skill.

Lisa chose to ignore him.

"The papers, the location everything will be decided by me. You will just have to sign and the operation of my brother will start after you have set for the location."

Ruhan frowned this time.

He always liked to be in full control. He didn't like the idea of letting her decide the location. And in usual cases the treatment would be started after the other party had fulfilled their promises. Not other way around.

Seeing his expression, Lisa mocked him, "What are you scared of?"

Lisa really felt Ruhan was funny. She was the girl here. Okay? She is the one who should be scared.

Ruhan also pondered. Why should he feel uncomfortable? So what if the operation was done earlier?

Bone marrow transplantation is a difficult surgery and needs many follow ups. She wouldn't dare to deceive him.

Even if she disregards her reputation and life, she still has her brother to think of. If she was that indifferent to him, she wouldn't be here right?

Her family was her Achilles' heel.

Thinking about this he became more cheerful.

"Ok. Thinking about our past relationship I will make an exception and leave you in charge of this matter."

Then he gave a lecherous smile and said, "You can even dominante me in you want. If you know what I mean." He was really looking forward to it.

Lisa almost vomited after listening to him. She would be really happy if she could skin him alive.

"Go to hell", Lisa turned to leave. If she stays here any longer she might really lose herself and kill him.

Ruhan sighed.

"If you had agreed to my proposal earlier, you would not have suffered like this. Your brother's condition would not have deteriorated this much."

Ruhan started to laugh like a devil..

Lisa froze.

"No one ever agrees to live like a living dead without putting up a fight", she said with tears in her eyes, looking very pitiful.

"Love is a weakness that can be exploited by anyone anytime", Ruhan said smugly.

However, Lisa didn't look back and increased her pace. So he didn't notice her mocking smile.

" So is overconfidence", Lisa curved up her lips.

In another corner of the city:

The person smiled after listening to Ruhan and Lisa's conversation.

He then called a number and said, " The fish has taken the bait. What now?"

The other side replied, "Good.

we can proceed to the next step of our plan.

The person cut off the phone and threw the phone into the lake. It's a pity that such an amazing phone was thrown away as if it was nothing.

However, there was strict rule that a phone can be used only once.

He sighed and started to prepare for their next plan.
