John's POV
In-car
After I finished all my bending work, I went home directly. Today, my work finished a little bit earlier than usual time. Roy asked the mechanic out in our usual spot, but I didn't want to go there, as I was already very exhausted.
I asked my driver to go home.
I had some water and laid my back lazily on the seat.
I closed my eyes and sighed heavily. Today there was so much work in the company from the morning. I had no time even to have my lunch. I had some chocolates and snacks that Roy gave me.
Whenever I have some chocolates, both my mind and heart go to the night when I spent with Judy. It automatically brings a smile to my mind. Whenever I feel very exhausted or frustrated, I think of her cute face nowadays. It has become one of my habits. And I think that I'm addicted to it. As usual, the thoughts about her made me blush.
I looked at the way to check whether I'm near to my home or not. Suddenly I saw a little figure who was trying to stop the vehicle.
"Why is she on the road at this hour?" I thought.
"Is it her or my imagination?" I doubted myself.
"Driver, stop the car near that young lady," I ordered my driver.
I called her Miss. Brown even though I wanted to call her Judy so badly. I know my limit very well. She seemed to be surprised when she saw me.
She was reluctant to get into my car. But she obeyed my words when I said it was an order from her president.
Her location was not in my way, but I don't want her to travel alone at this hour as it was not very safe.
She looked very tense and panicked.
I tried to make her relaxed by giving some water and asking her what’s the problem? But she was still reluctant to open up with me. I could understand her situation somehow but I don’t know why. She got the water bottle and had some sips. She stopped the car near a beach.
What does she have to do at a beach at this hour? I thought in my mind. Anyways, that’s her privacy my mind told me again.
She thanked me and ran very fast towards the beach.
Why is she in so a hurry? I thought for a few seconds.
I asked my driver to start the car. It was not even two seconds after I dropped her. I asked my driver to go back to the beach. When I reached the place there was no one present. I could see a small building filled with darkness at a particular distance. My legs walked towards it automatically
What is she doing in such a place? Is she in any type of danger? I gulped the saliva when some crazy questions popped into my mind. When I reached the door, it was locked from the inside.
How can I get into the building? I looked for something to break the door. I saw a medium size stone on the ground. I took it carefully and was ready to attack the lock. Suddenly the darkness inside that building was replaced with light. I couldn’t understand what was happening for a minute. I scanned.
I scanned the area carefully. To my wonder, I could see through the walls of the building and see what was happening inside. I sharpened my vision when I saw two figures through the glass wall. A boy and a girl were standing facing each other. I couldn't see their faces clearly, but I could 1000% surely say that it was Judy. I can always identify her even in full darkness. I felt proud of myself for a second, but something happened next to break my heart badly. I didn't know who was that man, but he kneeled in front of her.
What hell is happening here? Who is that i***t to propose my Judy? My tongue slipped the words automatically before I realized it. I stood motionless for a few seconds. When I returned to the present, I saw Judy hugging him
Did she just accept his proposal? My mind went blank again and I left the place immediately. I didn't know when I reached d
My place until I heard my driver's voice.
Young master, we have reached home he said. I don't know how many times he called me. I got down from the car silently and went inside.
Next day in the office
Judy's POV
I had to fetch some files from the president's office. I knocked on the door and he said to come in.
Good morning president I gave my warm smile as usual. He replied to me with a good morning, but I could sense something wrong in his voice. What happened to him? Is he sick? I just wondered. I told him about the files I wanted.
You can ask Mr. Roy about those files, he said barely and focused again on his computer.
Should I ask him? I thought. I was hesitating to ask and was standing in front of him without moving. He finally looked at me and surprise in his eyes.
Sir, are you alright? You don't seem as usual today? Is anything wrong with your body? Do you have a fever? Did you take any tablets? I began to ask many questions as possible. He was just staring at me without answering my questions. Then only I realize that I am asking too many questions.
Sorry, sir, I apologized for my behavior and was ready to leave his office.
I'm okay I heard his voice. I turned towards him with surprise. I could sense the eyes on me. They looked very gloomy and they didn't shine as usual. What are 5hey trying to tell me? I just wondered, for a few seconds, I couldn't move my eyes away from his eyes as they were tightly locked from a particular distance.
I somehow managed to break the eye lock and excused myself. I reached my office as fast as I could and fell onto my seat.
I kept my hand on the left side chest to realize how my heart was beating. I was sweating very badly even in the air-conditioned room. I good the glass of water from my table and gulped it fully. I breathed heavily and tried to decrease the tension that had been created suddenly.
John's POV
I was just sitting in my chair in my office. There was a large bundle of files in front of me. I had to finish all the work with 8n today, but I had barely finished the first file. I couldn't forget the scene I witnessed on the beach yesterday. I tried to forget that telling myself that it was just a dream, but I failed very badly again and again. I came to the present when I heard a knock on my door. I adjusted myself and pretended to focus on my computer. I was surprised to see Judy with a cute smile as usual.
How fascinating is her smile? Why do I feel like she had been hiding something heavily behind her smile? Or am I overthinking again? Of course, she would be happy now that she has a boyfriend now. What are you thinking, John? Just control your f*****g mind and focus on your work?
I could scold myself only in my mind.
She asked me something, but I didn't hear anything she said.
"Sorry, what did you ask?" I asked her again.
"I asked you if you are okay sir. Your look tells some story," she said with a concerned expression.
"I... You... I'm okay. Don't worry about me," I said and turned my eyes towards the file on my table.
"If there is nothing else, you may leave now," I said and tried to avoid her eye lock.
"Okay sir, Thank you" I don't know why but I could sense some disappointment in that voice.
After I heard the sound of closing the four, I sighed and closed the files and laptop.
I called the cafeteria and ordered a cup of coffee for me. I was standing near the window and staring at the distance as usual. It's my habit to be like this, whenever I feel stressed or I have negative feelings.
"What happened now," I heard a familiar voice.
"Nothing, I'm just getting bored," I told without turning my head toward that person.
"Really? But I could sense someone's heart bleeding heavily," Roy said.
"Ass hole, Roy. Are you my friend or enemy?" I was now annoyed and shouted at him.
"Of course, I'm your best friend. First drink this special coffee and refresh your mind," he didn't seem bothered by my swear and gave me the coffee cup.
"Special coffee? Why do you say that?" Did I ask him?
"Just have a sip, you might know the reason, the special reason," he said and grinned widely.
"Don't tell me that you have mixed some poison in it?" I said playfully and took the coffee cup.
"I knew well that only Roy can make me smile other than Judy"
"Wait, Judy? Oh God, why are you doing this again to me? I was constantly out of the world. I felt a sudden tap on my shoulder.
Roy was standing near me tapping my shoulder gently.
