Arien’s head was heavy and she didn’t wanted to argue. Everything was already blurred in front of her.
Moreover, he had saved her from those people and she should not argue with him.
She layed quietly on the bed and closed her eyes.
“Miss, young master asked me to give you this” Luke came and spoke.
Arien opened her eyes and saw a bag in his hands.
By now Arien could see clearly. But the effect of the drug was still there in her body making her temperature rise.
She got up and said, “I won’t bother you guys. I’ll leave now.”
“Miss, master asked you to stay for today. The effect of drug is still there in your body.” Luke said.
Thinking that she might encounter those people again, she decided to stay there for the night and go back next morning only.
She had not held her mobile phone and thus she couldn’t contact anyone to take her back.
Moreover, Devian will find her. If he comes out and doesn’t see her in the garden he would definitely be worried.
“No no… I shouldn’t let him worry just like that.” Arien thought.
“Mr, can I borrow your phone” Arien asked.
“Oh okay” Luke gave her his phone.
She dialed Devian’s number but he didn’t picked the call.
She tried again and this time as well the call wasn’t received.
She finally gave up and gave back his phone.
“Miss your food will be served. You can have rest here.” Luke saw her helpless expression and spoke up.
“Okay” Arien smiled. “Please say thanks to your young master” she added.
That time she didn’t saw his face clearly. She could not remember his face. But she knew that this man was kindhearted. He helped her and saved her from the thugs. So she had to thank him for his help.
“Yes miss” Luke left the room and came to the man at the next room.
“She called someone from my phone.” Luke said.
“Trace the number, find who the person is.” He ordered.
“Yes master.”
…
At the same time in Lyle Mansion…
Emily kept hiding from Devian. She didn’t wanted to answer any questions.
Devian went out but saw nobody there, neither Arien nor Emily.
Thinking that they might have gone inside he went in. He was worried.
Emily sat between the group of people to avoid Devian.
But Devian saw her. “Emily” he called.
“Yes brother Leo?” Emily spoke childishly.
“Where is Arien?” He asked.
“Sister Arien? She got a call from her friend and went out saying it was an emergency. She said that she won’t be able to come today. She asked me to tell you to not bother her.” Emily was well prepared with a lie.
Devian knew that Arien’s friends were important for her and there was no problem in her meeting them any time.
Emily was so fluent in her lies that Devian didn’t see through it.
He got busy with the guests in the banquet.
He wanted to call her but he left his phone in his room and even thought that she would get disturbed so he finally left the thought of calling her.
…
Arien also consoled herself saying, “He might be busy in the banquet. It’s okay if he didn’t notice her absence. It’s okay if he didn’t pick the call… It’s okay Arien”
But she felt dejected at the thought of him not coming to save her.
Was he so busy that he forgot about her? Didn’t he notice that she wasn’t there?
She thought and thought. Her head was still aching so she gradually fell asleep.
…
“Master, she has slept.” Luke said.
“Okay! Have you found the person she called?” The man asked.
“Master, he’s someone called Devian Lyle” Luke reported.
Devian has his number registered as Devian Lyle and not Devian Ace to keep a low profile in California.
If he doesn’t do so his life would be in eager every now and then.
“Anything else?” He asked.
“He’s the owner of Visight Company where miss works. And nothing else.” Luke said.
“Hmm… Calling her boss? What’s the relationship between them?” He thought.
…
Next day Arien woke up. She was still unhappy.
“He didn’t come to find me?” Arien thought. “Am I not so important for him?” She felt really sad at the thought of it.
She got up and walked up.
“Miss” one of the staff came into the room. “Here’s your breakfast and the dress you were wearing was washed a cleaned. Here”
The servant passed her the dress and kept the food there.
“Umm.. may I know who the person was who bought me here yesterday?” Arien asked.
“I’m sorry ma’am, you can ask about it in the reception.” She was just a worker and didn’t know about it.
“Okay thank you” Arien said.
After having her breakfast she went to the reception.
“May I know who bought me here yesterday?” She asked.
“The person didn’t give his name.” The receptionist said. “But all your payments has been done.”
“Ohh…” Arien thought that he might have his reasons. “Please give him a note for me” she wrote a thank you note for him and left.
Just as she went out the man came.
“Sir” he was walking to the room when the receptionist stopped him. “The person you checked in for has left a note for you.
He took the note and it read.
‘Gentleman thank you for helping me yesterday. I have nothing to give you right now except for my sincere gratitude.
Thank you.’
The man smiled reading it. He shoved the note in his pocket and left.
…
Arien didn’t know why but she didn’t felt like going back to Lyle Mansion.
She went to Ashley’s house and knocked.
“Hey!!!” Seeing her Ashley was more than happy. “I was thinking to call you. Come on in”
Arien was still down. “Ash I’ll sleep for a while.”she said and went to her room.
After so many years of friendship, Ashley and Arien were very close. Ashley didn’t stop her.
“Change and then rest. I’ll make you something.” Ashley passed her pajamas.
“Hmm…” Arien changed and lied down on the bed and fell asleep.
Just as Ashley entered the kitchen her phone rang.
“Mr Lyle?” Ashley said.
“Is she there?” He asked.
“Yes she just came” Ashley didn’t know about the incident that took place yesterday so she told the truth.
“Just came?” Devian frowned.
“Yes and then just went to sleep. Seems like she was tired because of sister Julien’s party.” Ashley added.
“Please give me a call after she’s awake. I’ll come pick her up.” Devian said.
“Yes” Ashley replied. “Has they got into an argument?” She thought.
Anyways she shouldn’t meddle up in their business. After a they were husband and wife. A little bit of arguments were normal.
…
In the office
After hanging up the phone Devian ordered, “check out where she was yesterday night”
“Yes director” Dean replied.
After a while he came back and reported, “Someone took Mrs Lyle to Star View hotel yesterday. She was there for the whole night then went to Miss Collen today in the morning. The person who checked in for her didn’t have his name registered.”
“Hmm…” Devian was angry and Dean could guess it.
“This girl! Why can’t she contact me?” He thought
Devian got up and walked out. Dean followed closely behind
He entered the car and drove leaving Dean behind.
“Master!” Dean could only stand there and look at the car going further and further away.
