Chapter 17

Ryan's POV:

196...197...198...199...200. Okay. The number's right. I should pass these copies out now-

"Go and die you fucking bastard! I have enough of you already! I'm done with you! Go and burn in hell!" A sudden outburst made me stand rooted to the ground as I peered around the corner. Isn't that Dawne from the editorial department?

How I imagine Dawne to look like^

"Dawne?" She spun around quickly to face me while wiping her tears away swiftly.

"Oh. H-Hi Ryan."

"Are you alright?" Wait...that's a stupid question. Of course she's not alright. "Sorry, ignore that question." She chuckled softly at my stupidity making my cheeks redden. Seems like I just made myself a fool in front of another...damn...

"It's alright Ryan. Thanks for asking. I'm fine. Just some couple quarrel." Doesn't sound like 'just some' to me...oh well...

"If you have any problems, you can find me any time if you want someone to spill your heart to...if you don't mind?" Laughing awkwardly, she laughed lightly before nodding slightly.

"Sure. Thanks Ryan. You're really a great guy."

"N-No problem?"

"Then I'll get going now. Thanks Ryan." She chuckled lightly for the last time before rushing away. Oh shit! The documents! I'm going to get killed!

Adrian's POV:

"I'm sorry I'm late! Here are your documents Adrian." Ryan spoke frantically as he burst through my doors. Haha. I can't help but think that he looks so cute looking all flustered and all.

"Don't worry love. I won't kill you or anything even if you're more than an hour late." He smiled sheepishly before placing my required documents down neatly. "Thanks."

Finally. Now I just have to collate...shit. Where is it? I remembered that I brought it to work...where is it? Did I drop it on the road? Shit shit shit!

"What's wrong Adrian?"

"I can't find my folder..."

"The one for today's meeting?"

"Yeah."

"You left it on the coffee table this morning. I reminded you to bring it just before we left the house...I guess you forgot..." I guess I did forget about it...oops?

"Sorry! Um...can you help me grab it? I don't think I have extra time to spare..." Glancing at the piles of paperwork stacked around me dejectedly, he chuckled lightly before nodding. "Thanks love. You're the best."

"No worries. Just focus on getting your work done or you'll have to burn the midnight oil again." Ah damn...don't remind me...

"Yes Sir!" Mock saluting at him, he grinned slightly before leaving my office quietly, leaving me in utter silence which I don't really appreciate. I want to hear his voice and laughter more often...tsk...oh well, time to get working.

Ryan's POV:

Oh. Adrian's dad is out. Thank goodness. Shuffling my way to the coffee table, my eyes landed on the forgotten folder sitting comfortably in solitude. Thank goodness it's still there.

Just before I even turned around, a voice which I'm not expecting and not wishing to hear entered my ears.

"Ryan?"

"Hi Master."

"What are you doing back here? Where's Adrian?"

"Young Master forgot to bring his folder to work so I'm helping him pick it up. He's at the office currently."

"I see...Okay. You should get going now."

"Yes, Master. Then I'll be taking my leave now. Take care."

"Wait." Stopping mid-step, I turned around to face him hesitantly. "Have you found out who's Adrian's boyfriend yet?"

"Not yet, Master. Sorry."

"Really...I see..."

"Then I'll be taking my leave now, Master. Young Master's meeting is going to start soon."

"Ok. Go."

Adrian's POV:

What's taking him so long? Don't tell me that I really dropped the folder somewhere...crap...I better check on Ryan just in case.

"Hello?"

"Ryan, are you reaching soon?"

"Yeah. I'm on my way now. Got held up by your dad just now."

"My dad?"

"Yeah. I'm-shit....shit...."

"What's wrong love?"

"Shit. The brakes are not working." What?! The brakes are not working?!

"What?! What do you mean-"

" *CRASH!* " Fuck...the call cut off...shit...shit!

"Ryan? Ryan! Can you hear me?! Hello?" Shit. This is bad. Really bad...

"Jeremy! Bring the guests to conference room when they arrive! Don't question me." I instructed one of my staff at his desk hurriedly before entering the lift, leaving him in a dazed state.

"Y-Yes Boss."

Ryan's POV:

"Thanks a lot Sir. I really appreciate it. I'll be there soon. Thank you." Finally...

"Ryan!" Huh? Adrian?

"Adrian?" Why is he here?

"Are you okay?! Are you hurt?" Adrian? Oh shit! The folder!

"Sorry! I forgot to pass this to you." Handing him the folder, he took it from me gently before enveloping me in his warm embrace. Um...what happened?

"Thank goodness you're alright. You scared the hell out of me. What happened anyway?"

"Sorry. The brakes weren't working suddenly so I took a sharp turn to avoid hitting a pregnant lady when the traffic lights turned red suddenly. I jumped off before the bike hit the streetlamp. But..." I'm fine but I doubt the bike is...

The state of the bike^

"But?"

"The bike...sorry."

"Who cares about the bike. As long as you're fine, then all is well. By the way, why the hell didn't you check the brakes before going?!" He chided worriedly as he glanced at the remaining debris on the ground.

"I did. They were working perfectly before."

"Then how did that happen?!"

"No idea...um...I think you should go back now...you may be able to make it back on time for the meeting if you leave now."

"How about you?"

"I'm going to settle the insurance stuffs."

"Okay. Take care and watch out okay?"

"Yes Adrian. Now go. I'll be back soon."

"Bye love."








Hi loves, sorry for not updating so often. I'm really lacking on inspiration here and kinda hooked on Naruto. Pardon me. Sorry!
