HIS SECRETARY

67

Z A C H A R Y

I wore my usual outfit and went to the company. I'm going to work first before I visit to the hospital. I plan on talking with Kendra today. But I still have to work so I have to deal with my work first. I'll handle things today and go to the hospital to finally start my plan.

Claiming my girl.

"Good morning, Sir. Here's the report you were asking for." the head of the HR department came to see me this morning.

I had asked her yesterday to give me the monthly report. She quickly took care of it and I couldn't be more satisfied. Although it'd be nice if Kendra was the one giving me these reports. I kinda miss her now more than ever. She's the light that brightens up my office and it's gloomy without her here.

"Sir? Did you hear what I said?" I blinked and looked at the HR chief. I smiled apologetically and flipped one page on the document I was reading.

"Sorry, I couldn't catch up." the chief smiled before fixing her coat.

"It feels different without Violet, right Sir?" she suddenly asked and I was taken aback.

"Yeah...it is." I replied nonetheless. I stuttered a bit while answering and I coughed awkwardly.

"She's doing well, Sir. Aren't you curious of her?" she asked me.

Kendra must have talked to her already. I can fondly remember how Kendra was so close to the chief of the human resources department. It's nice to know that Kendra wasn't that sad while being here. I'm thankful that she managed to have friends even if she was battling some issues. 

I looked at her and closed the document. "Hera, right?" I asked and she nodded.

"I'm Hera, Sir. That's right." she answered and I smiled while reminiscing how she took care of Kendra whole she worked as my secretary.

"My curiosity's already been fed. I met her already and we both know her situation. Thank you for understanding her, Hera. I'm sincerely thanking you." I said because I knew they were friends and for sure Hera knows about what Kendra did.

"I'll be cheering for a happy ending, Sir. Have a good day." she said before leaving me alone inside my office.

A happy ending. That'll be so great of a story if it really ends up in a happy ending. I just hope that it's our story that will have that. And I'm going to do mt best so that I'll have that happy ending at the last page of our story.

After being left alone here, my mind drifted to Kendra again. I remembered the first time I saw her in her penthouse. Her shocked face was so priceless yet precious. It was the first face I saw and it holds a special memory. I already know Kendra from before because she's Kendrick's sister but it was still different to see her personally. Haven't met her face to face before but I already saw her face on the telly. Her face was always scattered on the media as a prominent business woman.

Thinking about how destiny led us to each other was so overwhelming. Imagine if I wasn't asked to go to California, would I still meet Kendra? What if I refused to go? Then I couldn't have met her. Good thing that I really met her. I would have regretted it if I chose a different action back then. Thank God that he helped me make the right decision back then. 

Thinking back, I couldn't help but despise myself. I was so drawn by my emotions that I ruined my chance. I didn't even think about what Kendra went through and just thought about my own. I was so fucking selfish. I sighed and pulled myself. I shouldn't be thinking about this right now. I need to finish work early and go visit Kendra as soon as possible.

When I focused on my work, the time passed by quickly. The speaker roared and the daily alarm that reminds the employees that it was time to get off work echoed in thewhole building.

"Good day! Thank you for hard work. See you tomorrow!" a male's enthusiastic voice said from the speaker and I stood up to also get off work. I grabbed my coat from the hanger and wore it.

I made sure that my office was locked and head out of the company. I was currently in my car when Zaria called. I answered her call and wore my seatbelt.

"Still in the company?" she asked.

"Just got out. Why do you ask?" I answered because she wasn't the type to check up on me.

"I was growing impatient with your lovelife and I'd like to have some updates. So?" she asked and I chuckled at that. She's so excited.

"Zaria, I still haven't went to the hospital. I was chained by work and I couldn't go this past few days. I was on my way to the hospital today when you called. So?" I mimicked her last word just to tease her a little.

I heard her groan from the other side. She probably got what I meant with the 'So?' at the last of my sentence. That's what she get for being impatient.

"Okay, good luck brother. Bring me my soon to be sister-in-law. I'll be waiting." Zaria cheerfully said and ended the call. I couldn't help but smirk at that statement.

Sure. I'll bring Kendra as her soon to be sister-in-law. Well that it was I am hoping for.

Not so long, I arrived at the hospital. I got out of the car and asked the nurse where Kendra is. She told me her room number and I rode the elevator. Wheb I looked left, my brows creased when I saw four bodyguards outside Kendra's room.

What the hell?

Doubting, but I still walked towards the door. The guard stopped me and asked for my ID. I pulled my identification card out of my wallet and showed it to them. When he saw it, two guards quickly got hold of my arms and was starting to drag me away.

"What the fuck? Let me go!" I said and tried to get away from them but they were just too strong.

I wriggled for a few more minutes before the door to Kendra's room opened and Cyan went out. When he saw me, he approached the guards. With just one tap on the guard's shoulder, they stopped dragging me away. Why are they obeying this guy? Is he the one responsible for these guards? 

"Please tone it down. You're making a scene." Cyan said at the guards and that pissed the hell off of me.

"Aren't you gonna help me? They're hurting my arms! Care to help?" I desperately asked even if I was pissed at him.

"I'm in no position to order these guards." he answered and I find it ridiculous.

He was able to order them just fine. What does he mean that he wasn't in a position to order them around? The guards even obey him.

"What the hell?" I couldn't help but mutter and I was forcing myself out of their grip.

Cyan grimaced and bit his lip. He looked at me seriously and I met his gaze. He stopped and his staring intensifies.

"I'm not stopping you from seeing her." Cyan said and looked at me pitifully.

"If you're not, then tell these guards to let me in." I ordered and I sighed.

"Visit some other day. Her parents are inside and you can't enter." he sais and I finally got it.

That hit me. I'm sure Kendrick already knows about what happened. He might have told them where Kendra came from and why she had an accident. That explains these annoying guards. I fiercely removed my arm from the guards' grip and looked at Cyan. He's right. I won't be able to go out of that room alive if I push to visit Kendra.

"Take care of her for me." I said before walking away.

Beat. Now I don't know how I'll be able to talk to her.
