The words I said at the moment hurted me, but I knew well that it was the best thing to be done. The look on Noah's face was devastating. I was starting to hate myself for it when he suddenly decided to show all his disappointment in the police and told them about ending the session.
"I think we are done briefing you guys about the case and about what we found uptill now. So we should go until you come up with some kind of decision about this case further," A police officer grabbed Noah's attention who was busy giving me death stares.
Noah nodded and shook hands with the police officer.
"Thanks for your time. We'll think about it,"
With that, the police officers greeted me too and started walking towards the way where I came from earlier.
"What was that Layla?" Noah asked and I ignored because I was busy looking back at all the officers exciting out of the lobby.
"I need to make a call Noah," I said trying to bring Noah back to reality so that I could excuse myself.Everything he have told me so far was so overwhelming and I was so confused about what to do next just like Noah. That's why I wanted to freshen up my mind and think properly.I wanted to go to terrace of this hospital and think carefully and peacefully there. But I knew that I'm not only going there to think properly. I knew that at some point this shield I'm wearing of being strong would get broken too, no matter if it's bullet proof or not."Are you okay?" Noah asked.I nodded and tried to smile but he knew that something was wrong with me. Rather did he knew that everything was wrong with me and not just something."I just need to make a quick call if you don't mind. I'll be back soon enough," I made up a story which I think that he might have believed as he nodded and slo
It was a deja Vu that Noah appeared out of nowhere just like Aiden appeared that day. I didn't minded that Because my mind was thinking about what Noah said.All the time when I was growing up, I had the answers to every question life has thrown upon me. Whether it was related to my friends, my family, my relative. I had every answer which was good enough to comfort my heart but now, I'm more clueless than ever.Whatever is happening in my life makes no sense to me. I don't understand it and I might need to accept the fact that I don't even make an effort so that I can understand the situation."He told me about you when I came to New York to meet him there. It was a brief description about you but I could feel that he was somehow feeling peaceful," he told me as soon as I settled besides him with a small smile on his face and continued."Then I finally met you for the first time while it was h
"Do you want some coffee?" Noah asked as soon as we entered the waiting area."Yes please. I want to alive and not look like a dead zombie all day," I naged."Be right back miss," he said with a smile and disappeared down the hall.I was now left alone with me and my thoughts. Thankfully, my thoughts weren't self doubting my actions anymore. They were now clouded with all the things happened at the company. I was briefing down everything regarding to the company in my mind because I needed to tell Noah the details.Out of a sudden, I had a sudden urge to check the time and I remembered that I had a phone too. I quickly grabbed it from my pocket and powered it on. The phone started buzzing with the series of messages as soon as the screen opened. I was a bit taken back by it, but I quickly checked the time and battery.Both time and battery of my mobile disappointed me. The buzzing sound of the phone w
After the heartbreaking topic we just discussed regarding Carlos Vincent, Celine and I started talking about random things. Talking with Celine is like a free therapy which automatically changed your mood for good.Same thing happened today. Celine managed to make my mood better and made me forget all my problems till I finished eating my sandwich and drank my coffee.Although it wasn't much, but Some food going into my stomach gave me energy. The caffeine made me energized and removed all the tiredness on my body and my mind.We were still talking when Noah entered the hall."Missing me?" He sarcastically asked."Yeah, We were wondering with girl you were busy with," Celine sarcastically replied back.Noah chuckled a bit and took a seat Infront of us. Thankfully, he looked fresh and alive too. But still being fresh doesn't mean that the other person is happy with thier li
I needed to know that what was going on with Noah. He was behaving totally weird all of a sudden. Something was not right and I needed to know immediately. So I tried my best to excuse the doctor away from us."Thanks for all the information doctor. And thanks for trying your best,""No problem. Let me know if you have any more issues or concern you want to share with me,""We will,"The doctor nodded,"Well if you excuse me then,"With that, the doctor slipped past right us.I waited for the doctor to disappear into his office. And when he finally did, I turned towards Noah and looked at him. He was still standing there and was still pale and horrified.Everything about Noah's expression seemed wrong. They weren't right and now I need to know the truth."What happened Noah?" I asked and crossed my hand against my chest me.He didn't seemed to listen an
All of the things Noah told me could be completely understood. Our plan was finally making sense. There was this one problem of which we need to find a solution for. And that was the company of Aiden. The company obviously need to be ran by someone and I asked Noah about it."Aiden and I are partners. Well most shares are of him but after him, I'm the only one with most shares. So I think that I have authority to make it work until Aiden wakes up,""Ok that's great. Everything is settled than," I stated with a relieved feeling in my heart."Nope it isn't. Because I'm very rash with making decisions sadly. I can't suddenly handle the whole company. We don't want the company to get down more. We need to win back it's image once again," Noah whined."But Noah there isn't any other solution. We have no one else other than you. I believe in you. The decision aren't going to be that hard. Even if they are,
After all the discussion related to me handling the company, it was the night time. I asked Noah to go home and rest while I'll stay here. But then he insisted that I should be the one going home to rest as I have been awake and working for quite long. Besides he had some things to deal with so he was good staying with Aiden.I finally agreed and exited hospital although I didn't wanted to. I took the first cab and went straight to my home. When I reached home it was almost 1 am. Our discussion about everything related to the company got pretty late.As soon as I came back to my house, I went straight to bathroom to take a nice and hot bath. After that, I went straight to my bed without even eating anything.I was just too tired to make anything at the moment. And it would have taken a lot of time for my delivery to arrive if I had ordered. So I decided to skip that eating part and landed straight into my bed.
Sometimes I wonder how everything has a turning point in it's lives. How fast everything changes overnight. It just like expiry time of some moments like good, bad , sad moments etc. And Just like that, it was expiry of one more moment. Which I am not sure about what exactly was it.Things were changing for me currently in minutes. Just now I apparently discussed my whole life with a stranger or at least that’s what I thought who he was. And now when that stranger stopped me from rushing out and told me his name, I felt like someone just punched me in my face. That someone being the reality.This can’t be happening right now. As soon as he said those words which were apparently his name, my soul left my body. Was I really talking to Carlos all this time? I saluted my stupidity before sitting down as he suggested. I was still furious because whoever he was, he shouldn’t have wasted my time and energy like this. I crossed my arms against my chest and threw daggers with my eyes in his di
