Chapter 22 - Painful Past (2/2)

I can understand why she became depressed. When emotional people gets hurt they don't like revealing it in front of others. They think that it's a bother. Even if it's your close person they still don't feel like confessing their problems with them.

I tried to get up after finished the breakfast but suddenly my head was stricken with pain.

” Oow!”

” You okay?”

” Yeah I'm fine just a little headache.”

” Why don't you take the day off? It's better to stay at home.” The idea was not bad but only issue is that I don't want to stay at home by myself. Calling Regina would be useless since she's not available all the time.

” Will you stay here with me?” I asked hesitantly.

” Yeah actually I have the day off so don't worry.”

” That's great then. What should we do today?”

” Let's watch a movie.”

” Cool.”

I had made a movie theatre here since I don't like going to watch movies in a crowd. So having my own movie theatre was the best option for me. I had a good collocation of movies stacked up in here. Stella looked around and choose the best one.

She picked 'The Hangover' and the irony of this situation is just perfect. We watched all the three parts. This is one of my favourite movies. We laughed so much while watching this. Lucy brought the popcorn and some cold drinks. Time flew by, and it was about noon. I looked at my side and surprisingly Stella was asleep in her sit. I wanted to wake her up but she looked so peaceful like a kid. I stared at her pale face. Her long eyelashes rested upon her cheeks. Short bangs were hanging, covering the forehead area. She didn't looked uncomfortable for a bit while sleeping on the sit.

I can't just let her sleep here so I carried her to her room. She was so light weighted. It was really easy for me to carry her bridal style in my arms. I laid her body on the bed. I don't usually come to her room so I looked around her room. It had few more new decorations this time. The walls have new posters. Probably some new anime character. Well I am in no position to judge her likings. But seriously I don't understand her obsession with this imaginary characters at all. This is what happens to those who locks themselves inside their rooms and watches cartoon shows to spend their lonely time.

Just great!

I walked downstairs to the dining table. Lucy was there placing the food on the table. She noticed me walking at the table.

” Where is miss?” Lucy asked looking at my direction searching for Stella.

” She fell asleep while watching movie so I kept her to her room.” I replied and walked away from the dining table to hall room.

” Aren't you going to eat sir?”I stopped and moved my head back at her.

” No I'll go do some work. Call me when Stella wakes up we will eat together.” After giving her the instructions I went to do my work.

I wasn't that hungry but I wanted to eat the lunch with Stella. I knew that she'll wake up soon since she didn't ate anything else except popcorn.

I logged in to check the project files that John sent me. I had informed him about my day off so he will be handling the work. I'm so glad to have a secretary like John. He is a life saver.
