Do You Know Me?

As I rushed to the parking lot I saw a guy laughing in a low pitch and talking to someone. As I went in I saw that guy was Jeremy and on top of that he was with a girl there, flirting. I ignored them and towards my car but as soon as I reached my car I realized that my keys were still on my desk almost 20 floors above. I had to again go up. I turned around in frustration and saw Jeremy standing close to me. In reflex, I pinched him in the stomach, though that punch was very light he acted as if I had broken his some of the bones. He was the one who approached me and not me and asked me to get into his car. Though I refused many times cause he was acting all flirty but the fact that Anna was all alone in the house made me accept his favour.

This all that happened, there was not a single time when I approached him, in the lift too when I squat down and closed my eyes he came and hugged me. Just to comfort me nothing else. But why Mr Niall and everyone is blaming me. Why??"

I said in meditation.

'He is very irritating, he just ruined my whole day again.' I said in low voice, still sobbing.

'So, he scolded you again.' Said Emma who, don't know since when was standing there.

'What! no, it was my fault.' I said wiping my tears 

'Oh! don't be a saint, you can get angry. Tell me what happened.' She said with a warm smile.

How could she be so understanding, How? After that incident two years ago, I had just Lisa as my friend cause I became an introvert. Didn't talked much to anyone. It was just Lisa with whom I used to talk. It was really hard for me to express my emotions, I bottled up all those emotions inside, but Lisa helped me to express it. And now It was Emma, she was the one after Lisa who made me comfortable. How could she be so nice, it's like we've been friends for a quite long time.

'May I ask you a question, Emma?' I asked her.

'Go ahead.' She replied and sat on the chair right next to me.

'Why do you trust me? I mean everyone here thinks am a low living girl and I just trying to woe Jeremy. I've heard them saying that Jeremy is a guy who loves a girl today and another tomorrow, then why do you trust me?' I asked.

'Hmm..let's see.' She said.

'I trust you because I know how my brother is.' She said with a smile.

'Brother?' I asked being confused.

'Yah, Jeremy is my brother.' she said.

'How? How is this possible?' I asked again but also realized that it was a rubbish question.

'What kind of question is that? I mean we're siblings cause....our parents are same.' She said and scoffed.

'Sorry, but I still can't believe it.' I said.

'No more questions, back to work girl. Else Niall will scold you and me too.' she said.

But still, her answer didn't satisfy my soul. She too knows how her brother is, a playboy. Then why on Earth she trusts 'me'?

I was about to interrogate more but suddenly a guy came in between our conversation, wearing a perfect office outfit, a dark green shirt, and a biscuit coloured trouser. He had black eyes and perfectly combed hair. He looked cute.

'Hey Emma what are you doing here? They told me that you're up here but wh...' He said with full energy and then his eyes got stuck on me.

I felt a bit awkward at first cause he was actually staring at me but then he smiled, a warm smile.

'Hey Sarah, how you doing?' He said.

'Do you know me?' I said looking at Emma and then back to him being confused.

'No, he doesn't? Am I right Samuel?' Said Emma pinching him. 

Though she tried to hide it I'm so sorry Emma, my eyes are quite sharp to hide something like that.

'No I don't know you, I just...made a guess. Emma told me yesterday that Niall got a new manager and that her name is Sarah so...I guessed, nothing else.' He said.

'Sarah you may work now and we'll go, alright Sam .'' Said Emma and dragged Samuel out of there.

'Bye Sarah, nice to meet. I hope we'll meet tomorrow too.' He said and winked.

Why all the men I've met in this office are weird.

****

'Are you out of your mind? What was blabbering there?' Scolded Emma to me just after we entered the Lift.

'Sorry, Emma. But why do you scold everyone.' I asked and I got a price for it, smack on my head.

'How's everything going? Is Niall alright after meeting her?' I asked.

'Hmm...he doesn't seem to be too much flown in his emotions.' She said.

'And how's Jeremy got any new girlfriend?' I asked.

'Ask him I don't know how many girlfriends he has. But... what about you?' She said.

'You know, dating is not something of my type.' I replied.

'And what about Lisa, did she took you to a blind date again?' She said and laughed.

'Oh she is a great persistent, but she is still unknown by the fact that I'm here now.' I said.

'Oh! Now I see, well when you'll meet your date tell me too.' She said and winked.

And finally, the Lift reached 14 floors and we both parted away. All I think now is how will this end, I worry too much about Niall. If I think about myself, I'm frustrated and I hate myself. Cause there's nothing I can do in my case, even just thinking about my future feels like a nightmare to me...

Next-Day...

I was sitting in my cabin ready to ruin my Sunday, It was my one and only patient today. The report said that it was an emergency and for my patients, I can do that much. But I already made a promise to myself, that, I, will anyhow catch Sarah today and take her to a nice restaurant. After all, my best friend has got her first job.

'Come in.' I said when someone knocked on the door of my cabin.

'The patient has arrived Ma'am, shall I send them in.' Asked the receptionist worriedly.

'Yeah, hurry up.' I said and she went out.

After a minute two officers came in with a guy in prison's uniform. He looked young like a college guy. He had blue eyes and shabby black hair. Though he looked innocent by face his eyes were filled with anger. He had wounds all over his face and hands, maybe there were more but was covered with clothes. His wounds looked like some were very old leaving a scar and some looked very deep and new. His innocent face was got I'd by those scars.

'You may please unlock his handcuffs and wait outside, I want to talk to him in privacy.' I said to the officers.

'But ma'am he is dangerous, he can harm you.' One of them said.

'That is why I'm saying that you may wait outside and if something happens I'll call you out.' I said and they both looked at each other.

'Okay ma'am as you say, but If anything happens just call us.' One of them said and they left.

'Hmm...so let's see... Mr Leo Rockwell. So you used to stalk a girl and you even approached violently, twice!!' I said, can't believe that this innocent face could be so dangerous.

After reading this I looked at him, but to my curiosity, he was sitting still looking at his hands continuously and I knew that something was wrong...
