Address

~PRESENT

I was small but still I remembered that day. I didn't know how to express anything. "I remember. But I didn't know your name. How did you recognize me?" He looked at me and said, "In that restaurant, Mr. Wellington called your name when you fainted. I don't know why but I asked John to search about your information. Well I have to tell you everything now because I know most things about you but promise me we will still be in contact after I tell you truth."

I looked at him confused and nodded and said, "Okay." He spoke again, "Firstly, I am sorry because I know it was wrong but I took out almost every information about you. The next thing is that I hired a girl spy who will follow you every time after you left home. I wanted to know about what you were doing every time and I wanted to keep you safe. She reported me. You were saved once by her but you may not know. She saved you from a thief. After I saw you in that restaurant, I know everything about you. But after I met you in the wedding I have dismissed her because I wanted to meet you in person. I also know that why you left your engineering college and joined the law college. I know the surface of you. But I want to know you more."

I was speechless. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know whether I should have been angry with him for sending a spy or I should have thanked him or I should have expressed my happiness that I met the big guy from the past. I was searching for words in my mind. He said, "I'm sorry, Sarah. I know you are angry but please don't tell me to go away from your life now. You were the one who was so small but still gave me strength in my most hard time. I remembered your words every day and made myself courageous although it was hard for me."

I finally said, "I am angry at you but I am glad that you have been a successful man now. I won't cut my ties with you but you need to know something that I have trust issues with people. So, I need time." He smiled and said, "I am not telling you that you need to be friends with me. I am telling you that I have crush on you. I know it might be sudden for you, but I feel like I have known you for years. I even have seen you graduating. I was not a part of your life. But I was there in every part of your life secretly. I even attended your first case in the court. You don't need to force yourself and I will stay in my limits but please talk to me. Please hang out with me also. I will prove that I am worth your trust."

I just said, "I... Okay, I will see if I can trust you or not. But do not have any expectations from me." He smiled and said, "Thank you so much Sarah. It's already late, so we should get going now." I nodded and we stood up and something hit my mind, "Why did you say that I will tell you my address when you knew where I lived?" He said, "I know where you live but I could not find your parent's address."

"Why do you need my parent's address?"

He said, "I know most things about you but I don't know your parent's address that is the reason." I laughed and told him the address. He dropped me at my house and told that my car will be dropped tomorrow morning. We exchanged our numbers and parted.

The next day, I woke up and after breakfast and getting ready, I found that my car was already delivered as Louis had said. The car key was with the security guard. So, I took the key and headed towards my law firm. In the law firm, just after I reached my office John came and greeted me. We talked about the case and then after talking about the case I asked him, "Can you answer me something honestly?"

He looked at me and said, "Yes". I asked him, "What is your boss like?" He looked at me confused. I assured him again, "You can be honest, I am not testing you it's just like I wanted to know what he is like."

"He is a cold person. He has never spoke to anyone by smiling. It was my first time when I saw him smiling to you when he was talking in the wedding party. I was shocked. He treats everyone same, no matter even if it is his business partners or the employee. When he gets angry, it is very hard for him to get calm. But after working for him I also know that he is a person good by heart. He never discriminates anyone and even helps the needy ones. He has even donated so much. He was only occupied with work until he saw you in that restaurant. He even followed you sometimes just to see you. He stayed in the car and watched you serving customers when you were working as a waiter and he never stayed more than an hour. When you got kidnapped he was so worried. If you had not returned safely then I would not been here."

What he said made me speechless. I just replied "Oh." because I did not have any words to express. He left. After attending few more people, Andrew exactly came to my law firm in lunch time. I had thought of telling him about Louis during the lunch. We went to the restaurant and then we ordered and I said, "I have something important to tell you." He said, "What is it lovey?"

Clank!!! A waitress splashed the food in front of a customer's bag as her tray fell down from her hand. She apologized so much. But the customer looked arrogant. She started scolding her. The manager also came and they were apologizing. I went and said, "Hello miss, it was your fault too. Stop this drama. They are apologizing so accept it."

The waitress said, "Sarah." I looked at her and she was not other than Amy. I was shocked to see her and said, "Why are you here?" Just then that lady again shouted, "So, you both are together! Do you know how much this bag costs? This bit*h has spoiled my designer bag. Are you going to pay for it?"

I looked at her and laughed, "Why would we, and mind your language! It was absolutely your fault that you was looking at your phone while walking and dashed her which made your own bag damage." She shouted, “How dare you!” and raised her hand to slap me but before it touched my face, Andrew grabbed her hand and said, "How dare you raise your hand towards lovey!" She looked at him and said, "Hey mister, I do not know anything, this lowly girl has spoiled my designer bag so I need the full price for this bag."

Andrew looked at the bag and laughed, “This is not a designer bag but a fake.” She again shouted, "How dare you tell my bag fake? Do you even know what designer things are?" I and Andrew, we both laughed at her words and I said, "How can the owner not know his own products?" She was still trying to argue until Andrew took out his card and showed to her.

She suddenly changed her attitude. She said, "Okay, okay I forgive this waitress." I laughed again and said, "It was your mistake so you should know how to apologize instead of saying that you forgive her." Andrew also stared at her and she apologized and then she went. I wanted to talk to Amy, so I asked the manager to let her be with us. We went and sat.

I introduced Amy and Andrew. I asked her why she was in such condition. She was always a bright and beautiful girl but now she looked really different. She cried and said, "Thank you Sarah. I don't know how to thank you. But my life has been difficult for me. I had loved a guy and I left my career for him because I had to earn money for his studies. I just started working in few restaurants for us. We had been together for almost five years and we have saved lots of money in our joint account also. I had collected so much thinking about our future. But now he doesn't want to be with me as he has already got a job now and he is saying that he wants all that money. The money is very much, also I cannot give him. It was the money I earned from my hard work. I... I do not know what to do. I am earning money for my lawyer now because we have to go through the law process now."

I felt very sad hearing her. Andrew was also listening. I then said, "I will help you. I have a lawyer in my firm who is good in these cases and I assure you that you’ll win for sure. You do not need to think about money for lawyer." She looked at me with wet eyes and hugged me and cried. "Thank you Sarah. I’ll never forget your help my entire life." I asked her to stay with me because she said that he always brought girls in their place every day at night and slept with them telling Amy that only because she did not sleep with him this entire time he is leaving her.

[Amy- the one who talked to Sarah firstly in Exohub and even introduced her other friends.]
