Walking back to the apartment I was
Constantly thinking about the lady
back there. who was she ? is she
fine ? was she alone ? what was she
doing there alone ? many questions
came to my mind while walking
back. Out of curiosity Instead
of going back to the apartment
I went back to the place where
the lady was. I saw the cops were
interrogating the lady and the also
handcuffed the man who was there
at the time of attack.
As I went nearer to the lady one of
the cops spoke.
"Mrs. Shelford she is one who saved
you."
the lady Mrs. Shelford turned
around. she must be in her early
fifties I think.
"Hello...I heard that you saved me !?"
"yes Ma'am." I answered obediently.
"Thank you. that means a lot to me."
'yeah. it's...it's okay. I am
Hailey Falcon. I live here
in the apartment near to the main
circle at the end of the 3rd block. "
"Okay. Hailey." It's a good name.
I apologize for my manners. I am
Cassie. Cassie Shelford."
she was amazing I mean she is so
beautiful."Just like my mom. I shuddered at the
thought of my mom.
"Oh sweetie I know I am old... I am
42. don't look at me like that."
"I am so sorry I wasn't..I mean you
look like you belong to a rich family
and you are so beautiful what were
you doing in this kind of place ?"
"I was just taking a walk."don't mind
me darling." huh," as if I would believe
it.
"OH you can come to my place." if
you want too. "
"are you sure I can come?" I mean I
don't want to invade your privacy.
"Sure I mean It's good if you want to."
since Myra is out for two days it
won't be a problem for me. We walked back to my apartment.
"Olease make yourself comfortable Ma'am"
"sure thank you."
I went in the kitchen and got a glass
of water for her.
"Here water ? "
"thank you. just what I needed ! "
" So tell me Ma'am what were y0u
doing down in that alley at this
hour.... I am sure no one in their
right minds will think It's alright to
take a walk at 2 am in an alley at this
side of town " I mean I don't care if
I am harsh but they could anything
have happened to her
" umm.. its quite complicated dear.
just think like I am running from
Someone who is after me for a
long duration...and please call me
Cassandra...Ma'am makes me feel old." she
said with a sad smile.
"okay. but, do you have anywhere to
go ?? you can stay here if you want."
"not yet but I'll figure it out. don't
worry. you are already very kind to
let me stay for a night here."
" no worries. but if you want you
can stay here for another night or
two. you know, my roommate is not
here so....
"are you sure of it ?!" did I hear
happiness in that or surprise??
never mind.
"Yes I am and even after she comes
I don't think she will have any
problems. you can stay here as long
as you want too..It's fine for me.
"thank you so much dear. there
are very less people left here with humanity.
"You are welcome. please come in
I'll show you your room." well yeah
me and Myra live in a big flat apartment which is
have 3 bedrooms just in case..
"yeah"
I showed Cassandra her room and
went to sleep after providing her
everything. " it was quite late when I
went to bed.
Next morning I woke up earlier than
any other day. I freshened myself
prepared breakfast for both of us
and left a note for Cassandra
I tried to reach as early as I can to
the office considering the traffic on
the roads and a never ending line of
cars. I finally took 30 min's to reach
and immediately got the coffee for
him on my way. I knocked the door
of his office.
"come in."
I entered the office with a coffee
and a pile of files which needed his
signature. I sorted the files on the
basis of the department considering
it would be easier for him.
"Ms Falcon I want you to send
an email to Mr. Dixon office
regarding the meeting and tell him
that I have shifted it today during the
lunch and also tell him to bring the
agreement about the project drone."
He started speaking as soon as I kept
the files on his table.
"okay Tim.
"Also, I want you to check the
items representing the outlet of the
manufacturing industry. if there is
any problem solve it. don't bring it to
me until it is very serious. "
"okay." I took notes of what to do on
the iPad he gave me.
"And also book a table in the
restaurant under my name."
"okay. anything else."
He was thinking for a moment of
any work to give me....I meantime
instead of thinking how to manage
my work I was shamelessly checking
him,"my boss- out. Well today he
looked a bit tired as if he was worn
out. though it didn't show on his face
but his shoulders were slumped he
was trying hard to keep his emotions
as firm as he could hmm today's
something different. his eyes looked
red... Wait...red.... WHAT ?????
red..did he drink in the morning ?!
his forehead held lines of tension his
eyebrows were like knitted together
and his like were slightly parted
nevertheless it didn't show any
change in him though if anyone tried
to look closely only then he would
find many reasons to tell that he was
tired. well we can say," He is good at
hiding emotions but not from me ....
that's because I have taken classes of
human body language which proved
Correct in 90% of cases.
He spoke again and this time it much
gentler than before I didn't realize it
until now.
"And I also if anyone comes to meet
me don't let anyone...I repeat anyone
except of Marco to come.. if it is
so important report me first than if I
allow only then let them in. okay ?"
"okay...umm...Tim," are you alright ?"
I asked very cautiously thinking He
might get angry.
"yeah I'm-I'm good. why do you
ask ?, "Nothing," just you look tired so maybe you should have some rest ?" it came
out like a question rather than an
advice
"I am fine princess...PRINCESS !!!! he
paused saying that and I am the CEO
of the place I don't have the time to
rest I have to keep working in order
keep my company going"
"okay then. just don't stress yourself
too much.... and this are some files
which needs your signatures and
I have sorted it out on the basis of
certain department it came from to
make an ease....
"okay. thank you. dismissed."
I left his office and started.

TIMOTHY's POV
I reached the office earlier than
usual maybe because I don't want
Sofia coming again to my place
begging to be f****d.
I was thinking of urge usual affairs of
the company when a certain knock
came on the door. I knew its her I
called her in. I don't know why but
one look of her and it makes my
all worries go. I told her what to do
today she obediently took notes if
what she has to do. she suddenly
asked me whether I am fine or not.
I surprised me but I replied her
nonetheless.
"I am fine Princess..." I could feel her
eyes wide eyes staring me.
well yeah i just couldn't stop myself.
after I finished I told her to go. she
immediately left leaving me to do my work.
