Still You

Still You 5

It was exactly 12nn when Armand arrived in her office, she tried to avoid him. But because she was so busy trying to take off the things that happened earlier. She didn't notice the time. She is fixing her things when Armand arrived. He didn't even knock the door. He just go straight in. What a hapless day.

Armand: I was thinking that you are preparing to meet me this afternoon. But I changed the meeting; I’ll fetch you later, I mean much later this afternoon. I have to meet somebody today. It’s more important than you.

Kam: You shouldn’t have come here. I told you we are not marrying. I’m not marrying you. End of the conversation.

Armand: Why are you backing out? Have you found someone else, who is wealthier than me?

Kam: I’m not after your inheritance or anybody’s. I got mine and I can work on it alone.

Armand: Nice try darling. But I won’t let you win this game this time. You will marry me and you won’t get anything from my inheritance. I’m wiser than you Kathryna; I won’t let you fool me again.I will be fetching you at 3pm sharp. I don’t want to wait for you. Bye.

Then he left. All the more she lost her appetite. She ended up skipping lunch. Do all she has to do. She has to get out of the office before 3pm. She was looking for her keys in her pocket, in her bag and everywhere. She could remember that she put it in her table when Armand arrived. It’s already 2:55 and any minute by now Armand will be back. She called Helen her secretary and asked her if she have her keys. But Helen answered No. Her table was a mess when Armand arrived.

Armand: looking for this darling?

Her keys! It’s with him, but how did it happened? Did he move closer to her table? She couldn't remember.

Armand: Trying to escape darling? I told you, you cannot win this game.

He teased her, she reached for her keys but Armand is much taller than her.

Kam: Give me my keys.

Armand: I arranged everything darling. No running from it now. News will be published in the morning. The trap that is set for me is now set for you. How convenient?

He let out grim.

Kam: You are accusing me of the most stupid things, which even I could never think nor ever do.

Armand: Stop blabbering. Let’s go now.

Kam: I’m not coming with you!

Armand: Huh! Very funny Kathryna, you will come with me, even if I have to drag you form your own office.

Kam: I would call the security. I won’t allow you to drag me anywhere. I will stay here. This is my office so better get out!

Armand carried her like a pig. He asked her secretary to open the door and let her carry her bag. She kept on shouting, until they got to the parking lot.

Kam: Get me down. This is foolishness. Oh please…

Helen: Sir, where should I put this?

Kam: Helen why are you doing this to me, I thought you are my friend?

Looking at Helen with a dismay in her eyes.

Kam: You put me down at once. This is absurd!
