Chapter 13

chapter THIRTEEN - PLANS

Klinns's POV.

I could see the expression of bewilderment on her face and I pulled my hands away from her almost immediately.

I didn't want it to seem as though I was some freak to her.

Coughing slightly, I placed my hands on the car wheel and started the car engine while she searched for her words.

"Is there anything wrong? Or something that you wanted to ask for?" She inquired but I shook my head, trying to wade away her worries.

"Don't worry about that. You will have as much time to talk today." I replied.

I have a deep sigh looking forward while trying to concentrate on driving. I heard strange sounds as though she was trying to say something to me but when I turned around towards her, her lips weren't even moving.

"Are you okay? Were you trying to say something?"

"Oh. Didn't hear me? I thought you wanted to ask me about where I live or maybe you already know about that." Her hands swayed in the air while she fully mastered the speaking act.

For the first time, I realized my mistake, I parked the car and turned around slowly towards her.

"My bad." I said.

"Or you want to leave with me? To recover faster?" I saw myself saying.

"What are you saying Klinn?" I growled inside of me.

For some moments, it seemed as though I was out of control of my actions.

There was this strange bond that never really allowed me to think straight whenever I was this close to her.

My mind flashed to my therapist. I had to see him as soon as possible so that he was going to provide me with an explanation of my experience.

I wasn't able to go as planned the other day, it turns out being absent from work for a day and missing a board meeting could possibly crash your company.

"Tomorrow would be a perfect day for that." I thought.

Staring at her eyes, I noticed that she was embarrassed by the suggestion I just gave to her and she pulled her face that had turned pink away from me.

"I guess that would be a NO then." I said quickly while starting the car again and heading into the road just ahead of us.

"So where do you live again?" I inquired.

"Down street." She replied. "New Zealand estate number 22d." She replied to me and I sat on the trail.

While I continued to drive, the aura that emitted from her became much stronger as the minutes went by.

And soon, I realized that I was already gasping for breath and I couldn't wait for us to get to her estate as soon as possible so that I would be free from this burden.

We finally got to her estate and I drew a stop at her Suite but it didn't seem like any of us was ready to make the first move and get out of the car.

"So, we are here." I finally said when I could no longer bear the silence.

"Yeah. Have to say thanks a lot, I would not be alive if not for you." She appreciated me.

I tried to force through a smile but due to the burden, I barely knew how to do such. For the first time, I realized how much I had been lacking until she came along and opened up the mini gate to my heart.

"She certainly needs to have some great supernatural powers to be able to do that and that is certainly what I am going to find out about tonight."

"My one-way ticket to be free from the curse and I certainly cannot misuse it."

"You don't have to thank me yet. See you tonight." I took my hands off the steering.

Her feet swayed away from the floor of the car down to the contract floors as she waved at me.

Soon, she vanished into the gate and it was all gone.

Once again, I felt empty without a sense of direction.

A slight sigh escaped from my lips as I returned to the steering and I began to drive back home gradually.

But when I got to my mansion, I noticed something really strange there. There was a car obstructing me in the parking lot.

"Who could that be?" I thought.

Drawing off from the car where I sat, I shut the door closely behind me and I nosed over to the strange car that was on the premises.

Getting closer to it, I recognized it well now. It was the car of my PA, David.

"But what could he be doing here? I never asked him to come."

"Good day, sir." He greeted me getting out of the car and without saying a word, he took the door keys from me and opened the door for me to walk in.

"What are you doing here?" I finally got the Chance to inquire when we got in.

He shot a stare at me, making my face twist into a sudden frown.

He straightened up immediately and brought out a few documents in the bag that he had been clutching onto all this while.

"It's the resume for the meeting." He tried to explain to me but I was somehow confused.

"Resume?" The words escaped from my mouth with a confused expression on my face.

"You don't remember sir? Your meeting with the stakeholders that you have been getting ready for a month now sir, is tonight!" He announced and I gasped.

Due to my meetings with Isabelle, I had forgotten everything about it.

"Shit...What am I going to do now?" I exclaimed.

I thought about Isabelle. We made plans tonight, I can't make her think or believe I am someone so irresponsible.

"Is there something wrong sir?" He inquired but right now, I was hardly listening to a word that he was saying.

"There is only one way to do it now." I thought.

I stared deeply at David with a strange look on my face that was enough to get him confused.

"I am sick." I said to him but I was sure he did not understand what I was talking about.

"I don't understand sir." He returned to me.

"I am sick and you are going there to represent me. That will do." I ventured but there was a worried look on his face. It wasn't going to be that easy.

"But sir. There is a problem." He replied.
