Chapter 12 Twelve
- Sanaya had lost her mind. While wandering to her desk she had her clenched fists. What did she do! Now it was proven that she was not interested in girls, she lied. Nick could easily make her fall into his ambushes.
- She wanted to kill herself for being so stupid, how could she just fall for his trap that easily? O damn! She needed to jump in the pool to cool herself down.
- Settling on the chair she put her elbow on the desk then she touched her cheeks with both of her hands. "I need to calm down." She inhaled a lot of air in her lungs and then exhaled them. She was muttering something when one of her colleagues put a file on her desk and she glimmered denoting, "Boss might be very demanding…"
- "Huh?" Sanaya gave her a confused look. She couldn't possibly show them that she was hot-headed. But she saw everybody there looking at her. Except for her everybody there knew what exactly happened to make them look at her in different ways. Their boss, Mr. Nicolas has never even liked it if any of them would enter his cabin when he personally ordered Sanaya to get him coffee. Jealousy sucks.
- "I can guess, boss might didn't like the taste of the coffee. Don't worry, he has got quite a high temper. Next day, you can ask me if…" it took a while for Sanaya to understand what might she was trying to say.
- "He liked it." She announced with confidence. The girl seemed to mind as she mumbled, "It's because you are new."
- Sanaya gave her a questioning look when she asserted, "Work on this file first. After you translate it, go for printing." Then she went back to her desk. Sanaya peeked at the file. She has got a load of work.
- She was quite fast, she easily finished working on all the files in time and when she looked at the screen of her phone she let out a sigh of tiredness.
- Sanaya didn't tell Clara to pick her up. She was going back alone. Taking her belongings from her desk she got up.
- As she strolled out of the building she was thinking, "Uber or Lyft? Or metro rail station… I need to save money too… the bus fare is a bit… but I don't have the tape card..." suddenly she saw whom she was hoping not to see.
- "Boss has been waiting for you for a while. Please get in…", Kyle opened the car door for her. She grinned sheepishly, trying to conceal her rage at him." Why didn't I bite his lips that time instead of his shirt? At the least he would know I am capable of making him feel disgusted, he would not dare to come near me again…" she thought.
- "What are you thinking of?" Nick's husky voice interrupted her imagination.
- "I am not getting in. That's what I was thinking. Now bye.", As she said it he got out of the car and then he took her in his arms suddenly.
- "Keep thinking then." He dragged her in the car. Sanaya was surely angry at him but she didn't want to act angrily but make him leave her using sweetness if possible. "As far as I can understand, he might have some disorder. I don't know what it's called. I should act nice and then get myself out of this problem. He doesn't seem fine at all, it won't be a good idea to talk to him rudely now." She thought.
- "I need to go to the washroom.", And she had to find an excuse again. She was not really in a hurry but it could help her to stay away from him for a little while so she lied. She got out of the car immediately. She could only go back to the building of the corporation.
- She messaged Clara immediately as soon as she was not near him.
- Sanaya: I think I am in big trouble.
- Clara: What's wrong? Are you okay?
- Sanaya: No I am not. My boss is waiting for me to go with him in his car. I don't want to go. Today, what he did… I will tell you once I come back but now, what to do? I don't know how to go back now. I don't want to go with him. Absolutely not!
- Clara called Sanaya immediately.
- "Wait, let me think… ahh, there are some ways to get out of there without getting seen by him. I can go there and take you with me or you call someone to go tell him that you left already. Or you can walk out and escape his eyes." All the options seemed to be effective but Sanaya had another plan in her head. She smirked sinisterly. "I got something new in my head. I think I can absolutely make him understand that he can't marry me."
- "Eh? What are you up to?", Clara was getting a bad feeling. Sanaya might get overthrown by him again, that's what she could think at that moment.
- "I'll tell you about it in detail when I get back home. See you soon, bye.", Cutting the call Sanaya searched in her bag but she couldn't find any nail polish. Then she could only depend on one thing.
- **
- Kyle opened the car door for Sanaya. Getting in the car she stared at Nick. She sat next to him, he was calm and didn't talk to her.
- "Why is he calm? Exhausted? Not feeling well?" Sanaya was looking outside the car window but she didn't ask him anything. She was worried about him unknowingly. Both of them were silent, she thought he was going to be silent all the while but finally, he recited, "Let's have dinner together."
- "Are you hungry?", She inquired him.
- "Hmm.", He answered shortly.
- "Ohh… then let's go." She was not talking back nor did she try arguing as she did before. Kinda fishy but Nick did not think of anything. But looking at his face she was thinking that he was ok. He seemed drowsy, his eyes were closed and his head leaned against the backseat.
- "Whatever it is. You don't need to know. You are going to make him dislike you, don't forget your mission, Sanaya.", She encouraged herself.
- "Why are you giving me… this?"Nick gave the menu card to Sanaya, so she would choose the food. "Order what you want to eat.", He explained.
- "But we don't have the same taste…"
- "It's ok. I want to know what you like to eat.", He smiled at her. Did he ever behave that way with anybody else or was she the only one? Sanaya was thinking of what she heard about him till now. She didn't order what she liked to eat but it was different from her taste. To achieve success for her mission, she had to sacrifice her favorite dishes.
- "Sanaya be ready!", Sanaya went to the washroom after having dinner and she came back soon. She was looking at Nick who was standing a lawn away from her.
- Nick turned around, he glowed watching her. She smiled back at him but then when she was close to him, she threw up. She threw up on him. She smiled sinisterly thinking that he was going to say 'eww' but surprising her, he patted her back slowly land called Kyle, "Give me a bottle of water."
- "I need to go to the washroom.", She ran towards the washroom. Nick took the water bottle and followed her to the washroom. He helped her to wash her face, her head, and the back of her neck too. He was not like anybody else she met in real life nor was he, someone, like she thought he would be but he was different, he was caring and he was worried about her.
- She looked at him with surprise, she didn't expect that. He took his coat off and helped her to put it on then he took her in his arms in bridal style. She was totally surprised, "What are you doing?" She asked.
- "Taking you to the hospital.", Said he while walking out of the washroom.
- "What? No, why would I go to the hospital? I am ok."
- "You just vomited. No more saying, you are going to the hospital with me.", He declared leaving no room for argument.
- "Huh?"She commenced grieving for what she did. She should have stayed put, not trying to throw up. Who knew he would react that way?
- Sanaya recalled once she threw up when one of her friends left because he felt like vomiting seeing her throw up. She thought Nick would react the same way but here, he was taking her to the hospital...
- Right now she could see his worried face, he was taking her to the hospital. Sanaya seriously thought, like most of the boys she saw, he would also feel like she did not have manners. She was not lovable, he would better stay away from her. But this… she remembered that she was going to the hospital and she was afraid of injections.
- "Wait!" Suddenly she shrieked louder, making Nick order Kyle to stop the car.
