The two seemed to move a little closer.
Yanis looked hesitantly at Megan, who had a smile on her face and the look of a loving older sister.
-If you have any questions, ask me.
-Megan…
-What?
-You have been the secretary on Zain’s side for so many years, do you know why Zain has been single? -After saying that, Yanis also lowered her head a bit embarrassed.
Megan only knew that she had doubts, but she had no idea that she was asking such questions. After a moment, Megan noticed that the girl’s face was flushed.
-You, like Zain?
Yanis didn’t expect her to be so direct and looked up sharply, blushing at Megan, -I….
-Well,” Megan took the initiative to interrupt her and spoke lightly. You don’t have to say it for me to know that, in fact, there have been many people who have liked Zain over the years, but Zain’s heart was always with his sister in the early years, probably because his parents passed away early and he was always alone, so even after finding Alice, I think he still longs for family more than anything else.
-Is that so?
-Yes,” Megan smiled and nodded, “People, once something becomes a habit, it’s hard to change it, not to mention that Zain has no need for that aspect of relationships, so he doesn’t need to change his habits and his current state at all. As someone who has been there, I advise you to forget about it.
-Forget it? -Yanis was a bit puzzled, she didn’t expect Megan to be so direct, to simply tell her to forget about it?
-Yes, feelings simply don’t exist for him, and it would only increase the sadness if you liked him.
Yanis was speechless.
It seemed so, but she was undeterred and always felt there was hope for her if she tried.
-By the look on your face, you were rejected by him?
-You, how did you know?
-That’s how clearly he rejected me before too.
Yanis was speechless.
-At that time, I was afraid to show him my heart, I only liked him in silence, I knew it would be difficult for him to change his habits, so I followed him silently in everything, trying to make him get used to having me, and the day I was gone, he would feel that he was missing something. At that time, I will have succeeded.
Hearing that, Yanis couldn’t help but stare in amazement before giving Megan a thumbs up.
-You’re so smart, why didn’t I come up with this kind of solution?
Megan was speechless for a bit as she saw the young woman in front of herself looking at herself in admiration.
-And yet, what’s the use of me being clever? What he doesn’t want isn’t going to change, even if it’s a habit. Look, I’m married now, with children, and he’s still single, but I’m still by his side as his secretary. Now, you can understand that, can’t you?
-So why did you stay with him as secretary?
-It’s a bit cruel really when it comes down to it. After he told me in no uncertain terms not to have that thought about him in the first place, he even asked me if I would hold a grudge against him for it and then I didn’t plan to continue working for the company. I didn’t even think at the time that he would actually ask, so what could I do? If I left him, wouldn’t it look like I was really upset and that I would hold a grudge for it? So I had to keep being like that.
-Shit, I thought he was a particularly laid back guy, I didn’t expect-
Megan stood up and patted him on the shoulder, -Anyway, you make your own plans, I have things to do, so I’m not going to be chatting with you.
After Megan left, Yanis was left alone in his chair, holding his chin in thought for a long while.
***
As the days passed, Alice remained alone in the living room, recovering, eating and drinking normally, but not wanting to see anyone else.
Jack cried several times for his mom, but all to no avail.
In addition, Zain had come several times to persuade Alice, but finally Alice told him to leave the room with a cold face. Zain, the titular head of the Nelson group, left the room with a grimace, shaking his head helplessly.
The phone rang suddenly and Zain looked at the caller before picking it up.
-What is it? -His tone was muffled.
-Zain, we have news of what you ordered us to do!
Zain froze, what had he ordered them to do? Quickly, his brow furrowed, “You mean?
-We’ve found it!!!!
Zain’s breathing almost stopped as he pulled the phone away to look at the caller ID, fearing he had misheard the call.
Once the call was confirmed, Zain coughed slightly and then asked, -What did you find?
-Uh,” In contrast, the other party gaped slightly at his question, “Weren’t you the one who instructed us to look for someone? Could it be that it was our mistake?
-No.
Zain closed his eyes and took the opportunity to take a few deep breaths as a way to calm his agitated affairs. After a few times his mood had finally calmed down and when he opened his eyes again, there was clarity and calm beneath them.
He pursed his lips and then said in a cool voice, -Did you find the man?
-Yes.
-Give me the address and I will come now.
Zain said as he began to reach for the car keys from his own pocket, a subconscious movement, he knew he was only coming to see Alice and had had the chauffeur bring them to him as he got off the plane, without driving.
So his movements stopped for a moment, -Forget it, send the location to my phone and I’ll come with the address.
-Okay, I’ll send you the location right away.
After hanging up the phone, Zain put it away and walked out of the hospital.
He didn’t notice that his steps were a bit anxious, only that in his mind he thought that if those people found Kennedy, then his sister would be spared from further torture.
-Zain!
Zain’s footsteps stopped and he turned to see Yanis running quickly towards him and then stopping in front of him.
-I just heard him say that the person was found? Did you find Kennedy? Can I come with you?
