Let Me See How You Will Do That
While going back to her office, a junior staff spoke up, “Mrs. Brigitta, you seemed very disturbed, what is the matter?”
“It’s nothing, thank you.” She continued working to her office but the junior officer followered her.
“You are clearly worried. I know I’m a junior staff but what if I can help in some way?” he asked.
She finally paused and turned to him, he looks young, probably younger than her, “I lost some files.”
“Oh… I may be of help,” he said.
“Really? These files aren’t even in my recycle bin. Is there a way to get it?”
The junior staff smiled, “I’m a computer scientist, why don’t you let me give it a try?”
“Well, “she opened the door of her office and he walked in. She permitted him to begin to work on that particular system, about five minutes later, he said, “can you check if these are all the files?”
Brigitta looked at her recycle bin and saw that all the files are now there, she immediately recovered it to their original folder. She looked at the male Junior staff and apologized, “I’m sorry for how I reacted to you earlier.”
“It’s okay,” the junior officer took steps back from her table and smiled. “I’ll leave now.”
“What’s your name?”
“Grisah,” he answered.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Thank you Grisah.”
“You are welcome, Mrs. Brigitta. Feel free to contact me anytime.” He said.
“Let me just have your contact,” she handed over his phone to him and they exchanged contact then he walked out of her office.
Instead of going to his hall, he went straight to Cassie’s office. “What’s your progress, you have been taking time?” Cassie asked as soon as he appeared.
“Well, patience is needed. I have her contact now as I have helped her recover the files I deleted earlier,” he scoffed.
“Good. Keep me updated and work fast,” Cassie was impatient.
Grisah nodded and walked away.
When it was an hour to closing period, she went as usual to Ragnar Marshall’s office, she had to remind him of his schedules tomorrow.
Once she was at his office, she began to read his schedule out loud.
“Noted.” He dismissed her with a wave of his finger but she didn’t leave. She noticed that Ragnar Marshall had distanced herself greatly from her these days and she didn’t know why. Did she offend him? Just when she was happy that he was softening up to him, he became tough again.
“Did I offend you, sir?” She asked. She didn’t like the silent treatment he had been receiving from me.
“No.” He answered briefly. This was how he had been answering her questions, it’s either a yes or no.
“That day you took me on a walk at the backyard of the house, I’m so sorry for the question I asked. I didn’t mean it that way. I…”
“How did you expect me to be cool with you having a potential enemy as your bodyguard? Do you not know how to ask for advise before making decisions?” Ragnar Marshall asked. Ever since he found out that she had chosen Rollo as her bodyguard, he had distanced himself from her.
“Sir…” She didn’t know what to say for a few seconds. “I have my reasons, sir.”
“Fine. Get out of my office!” He commanded.
She sighed. So this was what had been making him distance himself from her. She turned, ready to leave when he suddenly spoke up, “If this decision that you make about Rollo caused you or your kids to suffer, I won’t help. I will turn a blind eye.”
She nodded and walked away. She was certain Rollo will not hurt her. Afterall, he has feelings for her and for the past few days that he had been her bodyguard, he had been doing his work deligently.
About a few days later, Brigitta was on her way going home when she received a call from a strange number. On answering it, she was told that Beocca was severely injured.
Beocca was injured? Knowing that Beocca was her children’s protector, she asked the stranger, “how about my children, where are they?”
But the call already came to an end. She drove faster to her children’s school and stepped down from her car at once. Then she ran speedily to her children’s classroom but unfortunately, the kids were not there.
She called the strange number again but it wasn’t answered. She was frustrated and scared, then the strange number called her again. She answered it immediately, “where is Beocca?”
“At AA hospital, ward 1, “the stranger answered.
“And my children? Where are they?”
“Beocca said Alex came to pick them.” The stranger answered.
Her heart flew a hundred meters away. Alex came to pick her kids? She drove speedily at once to the seaport but the seaport was about three kilometres to where she was. She had never driven as fast as she drove in her life.
All of a sudden, she noticed a familiar car on the road, this car looks like one of Alex’s cars. Afterall, she was once married to him.
She thought of hitting the car from behind but her children could be inside so she overtook the car and blocked it, after seeing that the car had come to an halt, she also packed.
This road was a narrow road and not many cars pass this place cause it wasn’t so safe. There are forests to the left and to the right. She stepped down from the car and ran to this car she thinks was for Alex.
She was unsurprised when Alex stepped down from the car, “you evil man! Is it not enough that you took Chester, why have to come for my other kids?”
“I’m obsessed with you.” He said, “I want you and I’ll have you.” He said. “I want to own you. I don’t want any many around you, not Ragnar, not Rollo, nobody, I want you to be mine and sadly, I am and will not give you a choice.”
She ran to the doors of the car and opened it, she saw her four children stepped down and hugged her. “mom, we were taken forcefully away from school.” Rome reported.
“By this man.” Henley pointed at Alex.
“Don’t worry, you are all safe now.” Brigitta said.
Alex chuckled, “Actually, I’m taking everyone one of you to Maridonna kingdom.” He was so sure.
“Let me see how you will do that.” Brigitta said, standing on gaurd as if she was ready to fight with Alex, afterall, she had been undergoing training lately but Alex just laughed. Swiftly, he covered her nose with an handkerchief that she accidentally inhale. She passed out at once.
