Chapter 59 - Don’t Run (2/2)

” Miss Megan broke her ankle. She's sending me the address. You go and pick her up.” I instructed him to do the job. Call me rude or evil but I am not going there to pick some damsel in distress or what so ever.

” Don't you think it will be better if you go there? If she comes in front of the media, they will gather a crowd around her. If you go with your car it will be the best.” I rolled my eyes hearing his explanation. Seriously?

Now I have to take that responsibility?

Who told her to go there on her own?

” Do I really have to ?” I frowned my eye brows staring blankly at John.

” It's about our company's reputation.”

” There goes my lunch! Fine you also come with me. I can't even stand that woman for a second.” I yelled at John then we went to my car. John drove us to the address that Megan had texted on my phone. It was not that far. John parked the car and we went inside the place.

It was a hotel but there was a restaurant inside it. I looked around to see where Megan was although my eyes could not detect them. Finally I saw Megan. She was sitting on a chair, looking at her phone. We were just standing close to her but she was busy looking down at her phone screen.

” You okay?” She was looking at her phone's screen so, she got startled hearing my voice. As soon I spoke she quickly turned off her phone.

” Oh! Yes... thank you for coming Mr. Lester .... and Mr.John.” She spoke of John's name after seeing him behind me. She forced a smile at him. Her expression had turned sour at that point I could tell easily.

” Uhhh... okay then try to walk supporting on my shoulder.” I lowered my body and she kept her hand on my shoulder. There's no way I'm going to carry her. If that happens John will do it. Anyway John also came forward to give her the support but she was only clinging onto me. She walked two step but then suddenly she fell, wrapping her arms around my body.

Thanks to my quick reflex i was able to hold her down. Her body was literally hugging mine.

” Theo!” A voice filled with anguish and terror ranged into my ears. It was a familiar voice which made me move my head in a hurry.

The person standing opposite me was none other than Stella. Her face was coved with the dark clouds of sorrow even I could tell at a glance. She didn't made any sound after that. When our eyes met with each other we stood still. But it was not for long. With in a blink of an eye she ran away from that place.

It took me few seconds to realise what just actually happened. My heart was stabbed with a dagger and it was bleeding badly. I had no idea what to do at that moment so I ran after her. I was literally chasing her like a manic.

How did everything came to this?
