Eric
I couldn't sleep at night because all I could think about is Alissa. She is a different girl. She always try to
sound confident but fail, which is quite funny. She is always busy in her work. She never try to drool on
me or try to make a move. I always laugh silently when I remember her interview. I always recall her
lines.
"I'm not a sassy little diva" A chuckle escape my lips.
I never had this feeling before, it is something different. I always wanted to know about her. I really lost
my patience when we bumped in that cafe. I am upset that she was in a dark alley with.....Oh god!!!
I hardly believe it though. But when I heard this, I was beyond angry. I felt possessive towards her. All
of a sudden. I know that she worked in a restaurant. Her boss has spread this news about her. But
when I searched for more information, it only came out that she was being molested.
I wanted to do so much of things today. I let her go, thinking that I will get a chance to do it again. But
something hold me back. She is not that type of a girl. She is an innocent minded girl. When I saw her
with Josh, I knew that Josh is the one who must have asked her to go with him. I felt the urge to do so This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
much with her but now something is holding me back.
I left the office and saw our new receptionist. The previous one was annoying me to hell. As I was
passing by Lauren gave me a polite smile and I returned it. I hardly give polite smile, but she just
smiled too sweetly, so it's obvious I had to. I went inside of my Lamborghini and drove off. I was driving
that suddenly I saw her sitting on the bench. Alissa.
She probably must have left the office 25 minutes ago. She is still waiting for the bus. I suddenly felt a
sting of guilt for what I have done with her today. I stopped my car in front of her. I rolled down the
window of the car and said "May I drop you to your house?"
She looked at me and her eyes widen a little. She fumbled a little. Probably not knowing what to say,
when she failed to say something she shook her head. I know why she said no. Any girl would say no if
someone would do like this. I don't know what got over me.
Heck, this is the first time I am even helping someone and she had the audacity to say no.
Eric calm down
I told myself. I looked at her. She was looking at me, probably thinking why am I still here.
"Alissa please, it is already late. Your family members must be worried" Although I don't know who lives
in her house. But I guess it worked cause she came and sat in my car.
She was on the passenger seat. I was looking at her from the corner of my eye. She was telling me the
directions. The car ride was completely silent. I thought whether I ask her something. Or should I keep
my mouth shut. But before I could say anything she spoke which made my breath hitched a little.
"Why are you helping me? So that I won't look at any other boy" She said it with a harsh tone.
I could see the pain in her eyes. As she was looking at me.
I opened my mouth but nothing came out. I know what I have done is wrong. I shouldn't have done
that. But it is me. I don't know why have I done such a thing with her.
"I-I am s-sorry" I stammered, but was utterly shocked at my own words. I have never said 'sorry' before.
To anyone. Not even to my parents or to my teachers. I think I need a psychiatrist.
Alissa was also amazed for a moment. Suddenly she said "Stop"
I quickly pressed the breaks, car came to a halt. She removed her seatbelt.
"Thank you for the lift" She said.
"My pleasure" I said....politely!!!
She exited the car and I saw her house was medium sized. It was good from outside. I drove off from
there. I went to my mansion and straight into my room. I quickly throw my clothes away and wore my
night suite.
It was so relaxing, to come in those loose clothes and I throw myself on the bed, not bothering to take a
shower. I tried to sleep but know that I am not drifting off to sleep any sooner. All I could think right now
about was Alissa.
God this girl is getting on my head. I closed my eyes, hoping to drift off to sleep.
