"I was just saying that I know her well. Sarah is a very smart, intelligent, mature, loving, and understanding woman.
Nowadays she has been behaving a little childishly, also coquettish and stubborn because of her pregnancy and her mood swings.
"You know, she has made my brother's life upside down by her demands. Daily a new drama. In fact, nobody can expect what new thing she will do and that has made Stefan irritated to the core while dealing with her. Still, nobody can take care of her better than the way Stefan is doing."
Ronald was still looking with a doting gaze towards Sarah and Stefan, who were sitting on the bench, and still, Sarah was looking like she was nagging for something. He showed proudness in his words for Stefan, and Valerie sensed that.
Valerie's lips also curled into a smile while thinking about a past incident she had experienced with Sarah.
"Yes, I remember when she was nagging for Mexican Tacos the other day. She was so stubborn, like a small child. I am still shocked how Stefan had convinced her and later when he had cooked for her what had happened. Even her anger melted like butter with the warmth of Stefan."
Even Ronald was wondering what had happened. Then Valerie told him about the entire incident when she was going shopping with Stefan and Sarah. Then they both started laughing full-heartedly.
Ronald adored her laughing face. "Valerie, you look exquisitely beautiful when you laugh, laugh more often," Ronald said with truth in his eyes.
"Thanks," Valerie said shyly.
Ronald zoomed out in his thoughts, but controlled his emotions and averted the topic.
"Valerie, did Sarah tell you about the interview?" Valerie answered through a nod of her head.
"Great, don't be late and be completely prepared because brother Stefan is going to conduct the interview, and he is very strict. For the business he wants everything to be the best, did you get it?"
Valerie got slightly nervous and chewed her lower lips with a crouched head, and Ronald noticed it and cursed himself to scare her.
"Relax, don't be nervous. However, though slight nervousness is obvious, but remember don't let it reflect on your face, answer all the questions with full confidence, alright? Still, if you need any help, please let me know." Ronald said softly, in a gentle tone.
Valerie nodded her head and thanked him again.
The way Ronald helped her just now and gently let her know how to behave for the interview was so heartwarming. Also, it's her first interview so Ronald's advice was very helpful for her. She accepted it sincerely.
Then Ronald and Valerie started talking on many random topics, and Valerie felt very comfortable with Ronald.
Stefan and Sarah were still sitting on the bench a little farther from Ronald and Valerie and were adoring them who were looking good together while laughing and chitchatting drowned in their own world.
"They look so perfect together, right, Stefan?"
"Hmm, yes they do, but if they want to be together in the future, they first have to reach the office on time for the interview, and for that, we have to go back home, do you get it? So, let's go back now."
"Hmm, my business owner husband." Sarah while mumbling, nodded and got up from the bench.
Stefan told Ronald and Valerie that they were getting late, and they all headed back home.
They were just a few steps away from the palace when Sarah got actually tired and asked Stefan to pick her up.
"Ronald, Valerie, you both move forward, I am coming in a few minutes."
After sending them, he picked Sarah in his arms and walked towards the palace gate.
Ronald and Valerie entered together, and that Jack and Stella saw and noticed. A few minutes later Stefan and Sarah also entered the hall and Stefan helped Sarah stand on her foot. They both were looking at Ronald and Valerie keenly, who was standing in the living hall and talking casually just then. Jack and Stella came there from behind.
"What is going on?"
Sarah got startled by the sudden voice and fumbled with her words. "No, nothing, it's just, just nothing....."
"Stefan, you tell me what is going on?" Jack asked Stefan.
"Regarding what are you asking, Jack?" Stefan said casually.
Jack and Stella knew there was something wrong which Stefan and Sarah were hiding, but they knew that the more they will ask the more they both will pretend to be oblivious. Still, they didn't let it go.
"Then why are you both looking at Ronald and Valerie keenly. I am surprised why they are together and how?" Stella said, looking at them tentatively.
"Perhaps they are talking about work, as they are going to be working together in the future.
Today Valerie is going to be interviewed in our company? Sarah said hurriedly.
"But, it's not looking like a boss and a subordinate type aura, there is something fishy."
Sarah was about to retort, but Stefan stopped her.
"Sarah, there is no point to hide it anymore. Actually, Ronald has soft feelings for Valerie but he is not still aware, whereas Valerie too has a soft corner for him, and as you can see they both are getting comfortable with each other."
"Then what is the problem?" Jack asked.
"There is no other problem. We think they should spend some more time with each other so that they can be sure about their feelings. That's why I have asked Ronald to appoint Valerie as his PA." Sarah said.
"That's good, I guess, but in the office, they will get lesser chances of communication about anything else other than business stuff."
Jack shared his experienced perspective.
"Then, we should think of some other ways too," Stefan said thoughtfully.
"I have an idea," Sarah said, after thinking for a while.
"What?" all of them said in unison.
"Let's make them come back from the office together they will get more time together, to share their personal details."
Sarah's idea was good, but Stefan found a fault. "Valerie will not agree to this, she is very self-reliant." Sarah nodded with a thoughtful face.
"I have a plan and Sarah, you will execute it," Stefan whispered and then told them his plan.
"Valerie, how will you go for the interview?" Sarah asked.
"I will take a cab."
"But Valerie..."
"Sarah, please now you will not help me anymore, and don't worry I will be safe." Even before Sarah could finish her words, Valerie cut her off and also assured her.
After breakfast, Sarah asked Valerie to get ready, otherwise, she will be late.
