"What type of help Sir?"
There was a short silence and Fred broke the silence and said.
"I struggle, in fact, I can't approach and express my feelings to a woman in broad daylight. I feel very shy and uncomfortable."
"Were you raised in a broken home?"
"Yes."
Allen nodded his head and before he could say a word, Fred continued.
"Someone recommended you to me."
Allen smiled and his smile and facial movement gave Fred some confidence.
"Whoever recommended me, I will say, thanks to that person. But I would like to introduce you to my colleague, she specializes in this type of personality disorder. With all humility, you will benefit from her better than me."
"You are very professional. I love your sincerity. So when will I meet your colleague?"
"Presently, she is not in town, but I can persuade her to come by tomorrow. Then the day after tomorrow, she will be here in my office."
"What time?" Fred asked.
"By 2 PM. Will that be okay with you?"
"Yes, I'll clear my schedule."
Fred stood up and they shook hands again and Fred left the office. Fred came with six bodyguards. Three were in the medical complex, while three were outside the building standing behind the three cars they brought. All were wearing black suits and dark sunshades. Fred's guards were the ones opening all the doors when leaving the building. And before Fred could get to his car, one of the guards opened the door of his car and he entered and they all left.
Allen was about to stand up when he heard the text message tone on his phone. It was a message from Bella.
"Is this how you promise to come at the weekend?"
"What a coincidence," he thought.
Allen shut down his laptop and left his office at once. He went straight to his car parked in between two cars at the parking lodge. He had a black SUV and he drove out of the complex. After driving for some minutes, his eyes came in contact with the signboard of a fast food restaurant. He watched his side mirrors and stopped at a fast food place. Allen went inside and bought a big pack of vanilla yogurt and came out and left. After driving for about one hour, he stopped in front of a small house. There was a clean garden on the right side of the compound. He parked his car close to the main door and came down with the ice cream. He knocked at the door, holding the ice cream in his right hand. Seconds after, Bella opened the door. She wore a black gown and her hair was messy.
"This was how you kept to your promise." She stood at the door, resting her back against the frame of the door.
"I was coming here when I received your message."
Bella sighed and said, "but this is not the weekend. This is your working hour."
"Yes, but I have a surprise for you. Where are the kids?"
"They are fine, their grandmother came to carry them this morning. They will come back in the evening."
Fred handed over the ice cream to her and Bella collected it.
"Thanks for your surprise." She nodded her head and smiled.
"This is not a surprise, this is for the kids."
Bella waited for him to continue.
"I know you were not pleased when you left my office the last time you came. I knew you were feeling bored and you wanted a quick solution to move on with your life."
"Thanks for your understanding." She smiled.
"Mr. Fred came to my office today."
"Mr. Fred?" She asked surprisedly.
"Yes. You know him."
"No, I have only seen him on TV."
"He needs my help. He has a personality disorder, and I told him my female colleague can handle his case perfectly."
"And who is that your colleague?" She asked with a relaxed mind.
"You."
"Me?" She shouted, touching her chest. "What does education have to do with psychology? Are you kidding me, please stop?"
"I'm serious. I have a plan"
"What plan?" She changed her standing position.
"First, I need to coach you, then there will be audio conferencing between us. You don't need to rack your brain. I will be sending you what to say in front of the laptop facing you."
"Holy s**t!" She walked away from the door and walked outside, resting her back against the car.
"What if the network slows down? What will I say?" Her eyes filled with wonder and she folded her hands against her breasts.
"The network will be perfect. Don't worry about that, the network will be fine." Allen followed her and stood in front of her.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!!" She tapped his right shoulder twice and continued.
"Where will I get the boldness," she demonstrated with her hands and added, "to confront such a man of caliber? I don't have such confidence. I don't want to be a fool before anyone. Please. Fine, I don't need a man again. I'm sorry, I left your office with displeasure. I'm fine right now. I don't have any grudge against you. You were not the one who broke my heart. You are a nice friend to me, and I cherish that."
"Bella, I have told him much about you. And you are the best person to help him and he is gladly waiting to meet you. Please, don't let me down."
"Am I a psychologist?" She increased her voice.
"I said, I will back you up."
"What about confidence?"
"Bella, look into my eyes." He waited for her to look into his eyes. "Look into my eyes, you can do it. How do you help your student who loses his confidence in his ability? You can do it. First, dominate him with your eyes, but maintain positive eye contact. Tell yourself, you are talking to one of your students. Do you shiver in front of your students? No! Put on the same confidence. It will be fine, I promise you. I will be the one telling you what to say. Yours is just telling him what I am typing."
Bella took a deep breath and blinked her eyes and asked.
"When will this take place?"
"The day after tomorrow by 2 PM" Allen replied.
