Next day, Lisa woke up with heavy eyes and head. She looked around, it wasn't her home. Home, than she remembered Ted, his evil smile. She looked down panickly, she was wearing clothes. Thank God.
What.? She looked again and it was a man's pyjamas she was wearing. She stood up and went outside taking baby steps. She went down and saw someone sitting in the living room.
She approached to the room and coughed. The man turned around, she met the blue gaze, and there was a puzzled look on her face.
Augustus saw her reaction and understood that she doesn't remember anything.
"Last night, you came in front of my car. I didn't know, what to do. So, I brought you at my home." He explained.
"My... clothes.." She stuttered.
"Oh... that my housekeeper. Ms. Davis she changed it. Your clothes were wet because of rain, last night." Augustus said nervously.
"Hmm..." She nodded and lost in her thoughts.
Augustus saw her being lost,
Augustus frowned and tried to push her hand away, but he failed after several attempts. When he saw that she was talking nonsense from the fever, his heart softened. He then sat by the bed and accompanied her, letting her leaned on his arm.After sitting for more than half an hour, Lisa again started to tremble. He saw this didn’t work. So he patted Lisa’s cheek, whispering, “Lisa, you’re having a high fever. I’ll take you to the hospital. Get up quickly.”However, Lisa turned a deaf ear to it. Instead, she suddenly hugged Augustus and kept shouting. “Don’t.. Don’t go... Don’t leave me..”Augustus got frustrated and finally held her in his arms tightly and comforted her. “I’m here, I won’t leave you ever. I promise. Lisa.”The room was quiet, Augustus who was holding Lisa tightly in his arms, lowered his head and looked at this woman who suddenly appeared like a chil
Lisa was hesitating, just then Augustus held her wrist and pulled her to sofa. Lisa got panicked and asked, “What are you doing.?”Augustus touched her forehead and then held her left arm to see the swelling because of injection. Lisa frowned, when he touched the swelling wound.Augustus got frustrated and he spoke in a serious tone, “Which Bastard dare to inject you? Tell me..!” He demanded.Lisa got frightened by seeing him so furious, she has never seen him like that before. She can see his veins bulging on his forehead. She lowered her head and didn’t dare to say anything.Looking her quietly sitting, Augustus got more frustrated. He stood up and walked back and forth and rubbed his temples to calm himself.After a while, he said “The man who injected you, wanted to rape you. Do you know that?” He asked her through gritted teeth.Lisa nodded without looking up at him.“Thank God, I f
Somehow, Lisa felt very warm she didn’t know why she felt so happy when she saw his concern for her.Smiling stupidly, Lisa went up to her apartment. The door was opened, she remembered she didn’t lock the door when she invited Ted inside.Thanks to her instinct, if the door was locked it would be difficult for her to escape. She felt very unpleasant while thinking about the incident.She then saw her purse at the table, she got suspicious. That night she left without taking anything with her. She checked her phone and everything in living room what if Ted left something here or put some secret camera. Now, she doesn’t trust him at all.She checked the living room carefully and after being satisfied, she sighed with relief. She than started cleaning her apartment normally. She took shower and then go to the bed tiredly.At The ApartmentAugustus was flipping over pages of a document reading it carefully. There was a sudden
Augustus than thought of something, “Giovanna can you go first, I need to handle somethings.” He turned to Giovanna and said in a low voice.Giovanna was not interested in these school meetings, she doesn’t like kids at all. Just because her aunt, Rheena Carlos forced her to attend the meeting with Augustus to get close to him so she couldn’t refuse her at all.Giovanna’s eyes sparkled and she nodded, “Okay”Augustus called Lester to drop Giovanna safely at home. Giovanna felt touched by his concern but she didn’t know that it was Rheena Carlos’s strict instructions given to Augustus to never left her alone just the last time he did.Giovanna stood up, hugged him and left gladly. Augustus then went out to search for Lisa.Lisa came to her son’s class and talked with her teacher about Simon. Teacher praised Simon a lot. Lisa felt extremely happy and proud of her son.Since, he had gr
As Lisa was standing at taxi station, A black Bentley stopped in front of her, the window pulled down and she saw the handsome face of Augustus.“Get in” he barked.Lisa widened her eyes and said calmly, “No need, Mr. Augustus.”Augustus got more furious. He got off the car and held her arm tightly, pushed her in the car and then put seat belt on her. Lisa tried to struggle but when she saw his bloody eyes, she sobered immediately.Augustus sat in the car and started driving. After a while, he parked the car at a quiet place and turned to look Lisa.“You’re ignoring me? Huh?” Augustus said with displeasure in his tone.“Where is she?” Lisa asked confusingly. Wasn’t he with his fiancé just now. Where did she go?“She?” Augustus asked irritatedly.
Augustus took a soup bowl and started drinking it, just when Lisa asked in a teasing tone, “Don’t you want me to feed you?”Augustus was very hungry, he said bluntly, “What if you feed me with your dirty hands? Huh? I don’t want to get sick.” He then continued drinking soup.Lisa chuckled and said, “Well, I didn’t even wash my hands while cooking it..”“Pheww” Augustus spit out the soup. “You’re not serious?” He asked seriously.She couldn’t help but burst into laughter covering her mouth and then Augustus joined her too. Both laughed heartedly and finished all the dishes.After finishing the dinner, Lisa went to kitchen to clean the dishes and Augustus went to his study for work.After cleaning, Lisa took out the chocolate cake she had prepared with dinner. She then hea
“What about your mom.?” Augustus asked changing the topic.“My father cheated on her. She couldn’t take it and passed away.” Her face twisted on mentioning of her mother and there was deep pain in her eyes.Augustus sighed, “My father also died when he caught my mother with someone else.” He revealed unexpectedly.Lisa frowned and looked at him. His face darkened, he looked sad and lonely. At this moment, she felt pity for him. Even money can’t buy happiness.Both sighed sadly and said together, “Love is cruel.”Minutes passed and both went deeply in thought of their loved ones. Lisa shook her head and saw the time on the wall clock. It’s past eleven, too late. While chatting with Augustus, she didn’t realize the time at all.She said hurriedly, “it’s too late, I should go.&rd
“Then ... why you’re here?” She asked nervously.“This is my mother’s restaurant, everything cooked here is made by specific chefs chosen by my mom for me.” He explained.Lisa felt a bit of jealous, how lucky he is to get so considerate mom. She lost her mom at young age and couldn’t got a chance to be pampered by her.“Lucky to have a mom.” She murmured sadly remembering her mom as both continued eating.After lunch, Augustus sent her off. Lisa came back to her office and thought about Augustus. He is such a gentle man, why would he be interested in a common woman like her?She felt distressed and after thinking for a while, she called Sasha and asked her out for dinner. She needed someone to talk....At The Restaurant“So... tell me..!” Sasha demande
