Love Twist

Three

ANNABEL'S POV

Why did my tummy have to rumble at that exact moment I said those words? I was so embarrassed and Both of them laughing made it worse, I thought to myself.

"WHAT?!" I flinched as Greg's yelling scared me. "Is he still at the guest house?"

"Go to my cabin and wait, I'm on my way to the guest house." He added. I was confused and worried. I hope it was not a big issue.

"Daniel, change course to the guest house," Greg said to Daniel.

"Is everything alright?" I asked

"Yes, it's just work, nothing big." He answered. I could tell it wasn't all right but I didn't want to pressure him. There was a pregnant silence until Daniel broke it.

"Was that Celine?" He asked Greg.

"Yes"

"What's the problem?"

"Dumbass Mr. Robertson"

"Damn!"

"To whom this time?"

"Celine..." he said as he covered his face with his palms, maximizing his frustration over this issue.

"Christ"

"Did she...?" Daniel asked, staring straight at the road.

"She did."

"Alright."

On getting to the guest house, I was in awe of how magnificent it was and how spacious it was.

"Please take Annabel to the penthouse and help fix her something to eat. I'd go see Mr Robertson now." Greg said to Daniel.

"Sorry, but I'll have to join you later Annabel." He tried smiling but I could tell he didn't want me to get worried.

"Alright," I replied.

As we moved towards the elevator I wondered what was going on. Who is Celine? Who is Mr Robertson? I wondered.

We got to the penthouse and it was magnificent. I thought the reception was magnificent but it's nothing compared to the penthouse.

"What would you like to eat?" Daniel asked.

"Anything on the light side, it's quite late" I answered.

"Okay. you can freshen yourself in the bathroom over there." Daniel said, pointing to an area that had lights. "I'd step out quickly to get some things to whip you up something light to eat." He said walking over to the door.

I looked around to enjoy the view. "Wow, this place is big and beautiful," I said to myself out loud. Still wondering about everything, I remembered my bag. I looked over to the area Daniel had pointed and thought of how nice it would be to get out of these clothes.

GREG POV

I hope Celine is alright but first, let me go see Mr Robertson.

"Call me the head of security and head of staff, and tell them to meet me in the CCTV room," I told a staff.

(2 minutes later)

"Pull the CCTV footage of the incident," I said as I walked into the CCTV room.

As I watched the video, I felt rage and guilt at the same time. I shouldn't have let Celine deal with him, knowing how he is with ladies. Such a scumbag.

"Send the video to me and where the hell is the head of security," I yelled at my staff. "If or when he gets here, inform him to go wait in my cabin," I added as I stormed out of the room.

***knock on the door*

"Who is that?" Mr. Robertson answered angrily.

I let myself in, looking at him with disgust. Just as I was about to speak, he cut me off.

"You should fire your personal assistant." He said with his back turned to me.

"That's some guts you have there, especially after what you did earlier today."

"What did I do?" he asked, trying to feign to be innocent. That disgusted me all over again. I threw my iPad on the couch he was sitting on. "That's what you have done."

"If not for your father I'd have sued you for this. You came to drop off a business document and you went and harassed my assistant."

"And she slapped me. I'm the one who should sue her for assault. I'm being nice by asking you to just fire her." Mr. Robertson said with so much confidence like he had not just confessed to committing a crime.

I was so angry and felt like punching him in his guts. I watched as he picked up the iPad from the sofa and watched the CCTV footage of the elevator. I could see him smirk while having a dirty look at the footage.

"Oh, this is my favorite part," he said as he turned the iPad towards me to watch him sexually assault Celine.

That was it. I snapped and went towards him, almost smacking the hell out of him. I took my iPad from him and stomped out. Frustrated, I sighed. I already decided on my next action but first, let me go see Celine and check how she is doing.

*****

I walked into my office in the cabin, and Celine sprang up from where she was looking anxious.

"I'm sorry Mr. Reynold," Celine said with her head bowed. "I'd take responsibility for whatever the outcome is."

I just stood confused and looked at her. "How are you?" I asked her.

She raised her head. "I'm fine," she said.

I sighed. I turned to the head of security. "Why was she alone in the elevator with Mr. Robertson?"

"She asked us not to worry since we were at the guest house, sir." He replied

"Is that true?"

"Yes sir," Celine replied.

"Alright. You can leave" I said to both the Heads of security and staff.

"I'm sorry that had to happen to you, Celine. You can take the rest of the week off."

"No sir. Who would organize your schedules if I took the rest of the week off?" She asked looking concerned.

"Don't worry about it. I can manage and if I need help I can call on the head of staff. Just do as I have said. And don't worry about what happened. I would handle it. You shouldn't go through that at all. I'd make it up to you. But for now, take a break first. I'd tell the head of security to assign one guard to you through your break."

"I don't need a guard, I'd be fine."

"I insist."

"Okay. I would do that. I apologize for any inconvenience I have caused the company." I could tell she felt bad about costing the company any loss that might happen from the alteration.

"It's fine Celine. I said I would take care of it." I watched as she left my cabin. Still pissed at the situation, but I have to stop this from happening again in the future.

ANNABEL's POV

"How is it?" Daniel asked.

With my mouth full, my eyes widened at how delicious the meal was. I couldn't speak so instead I gave him a thumbs-up to show how great it was.

He breathed a sigh of relief. "I feared it wouldn't be to your liking." He said after.

"It tastes great," I said as I took another bite of Daniel's self-made Mexican tacos.

We talked for a while after the meal, and then Daniel left. It dawned on me that I was not home anymore. My sis and mum would be worried. I checked my phone to find out its battery is dead, my charger is in my luggage and there is no way to get a charger here. Daniel left also. I'd just charge it tomorrow. So many thoughts running through my mind, what do I do from here?

I laid back and started planning out my agendas. Greg is not back also, what's taking him so long? I hope the issue isn't a big one. Well, I trust he will handle it. Let's just take care of myself first. Hopefully, my luggage will come in tomorrow.

DANIEL's POV

I walked out of the penthouse Greg had told me to put Annabel in. I was also worried about Celine but I had to make sure his guest was okay too as I trusted he would handle things. Now that I am done with the task he gave me, I need to see and speak to Celine. I saw her coming out of Greg's office and stopped her.

"Hey Celine, how are you doing? How are you? How are you feeling?" I asked all at once not knowing the right words to say or ask

"Daniel, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. You know I've dealt with worse people than that." She said with a smile.

I just stared at her. "I'm just worried my actions might cost Greg and the company." She added.

"I know it would be fine. Greg would handle it. Let's wait and see what happens."

"Are you heading home?"

"Yes."

"Alright. Let me drop you off. That's if you're okay with me doing that."

"Sure, Daniel. Thank you for offering."
