Chapter 3 - Shocks And Surprises

Kathie was surprised to see Adrian holding her with his hands and instantly her eyes widened with shock. 

Their eyes locked as it had been a long time since they both so close. His eyes scanned her eyes and her lips. He felt as if it was a dream. 

" Thank God, you saved her from falling…." Emily interrupted them.

Katherine stood nervously coming out of his grip. Her heart was racing fast with Adrian's stares.

" Meet….Miss. Katherine, my loyal employee and also my well-wisher"  Emily introduced her to Adrian.

" What a nice joke? Loyal and she? But what is she doing here? Why is she working in her company? " Adrian thought in his mind.

" And he is Mr. Adrian, my fiance, and my good friend." Emily introduced Ardian to Katherine.

" Nice to meet you, Sir," Katherine said with a small smile while covering her nervousness.

" Pleasure is mine to meet your loyal employee, " Adrian said to Emily but looked at Katherine with disgust.

" Have a nice time. I have to leave now." Katherine informed Emily.

" Are you not feeling well? " Emily asked worriedly.

" I am fine. No need to worry." She informed Emily.

" If your employee doesn't mind, I will ask my driver to drop her at her address. " Adrian interrupted them.

" Nice thought. You are so kind…..Adrian." Emily said and gave him a side hug.

" His driver will drop you at your address. I think it's a good idea to not go alone in this condition." Emily advised.

" I can manage myself. I don't want to cause trouble, to anyone" Kathie replied.

" Kathie….You always think about others. For one time, listen to me. Please.." Emily said placing her hands on Katie's knuckles

Adrian looked at Kathie with a sharp glare. Kathie felt uncomfortable under his glare.

" No need to worry. My driver will drop you at your address safely" Adrian said with a sharp look but in a polite manner.

She looked at Emily helplessly as she could not escape from him now.  From his looks, She understood how much he hates her. She knew his hatred for her is beyond the limit for what she did to him in the past.

" I will come with you to show you my car…"  Adrian said to Kathie looking at Emily.

Meanwhile, Emily got a call on her mobile. 

" It's a call from my father. If you don't mind, I have to go inside…." Emily said and left them alone.

Kathie thought it would be a good opportunity to escape from the place and started walking quickly towards the main gate.

" Miss. Katherine Davis…." 

Adrian called her name in a hateful voice.

She ignored his call and walked forward without looking back. Adrian lost his temper and quickly took long strides behind her.

" How dare you ignore your boss's fiance?" He yelled at her.

" Don't show your attitude like in the past. I am not the old person whom you know…" he mocked her.

" Sir...I am not showing any attitude. Please let me go…" Kathie said, lowering her head.

" Unbelievable…   What a drastic change in you?" He said doubtfully.

" Let me go…." She asked again.

" Why? Don't you want to go in my car? Or your boyfriend waiting for you outside?" He asked her while tightening his grip on her wrist.

" Tell me…" he shouted, luckily no one was around.

" Leave me…." She pleaded.

" Tell me…" He asked her again.

" It's none of your business, Mr. Adrian Wilson. I am not answerable to you," she replied.

" Oh...yeah….I forgot…..I am a perfect stranger to you. Isn't it? " he asked in a dangerous tone. 

She looked at him and wanted to express her feelings that he is not a stranger….but... 

But she thought there was no use telling the truth to him as everything between them was over in the past and he is engaged to her boss. Mostly he is not the ordinary man like in the past and changed himself with the time. She doesn't want to mess with his future. 

" I think it's better if you spend your time with Miss. Emily." She advised him.

She took her hand forcefully from his hand and ran quickly from the place. Finally, she came out of the Green's Mansion with teary eyes.. She started walking on the side of the roadway like an aimless traveler.
