Chapter 116_ His return 2
Dylan turned back once more, he felt as if he was being followed. He turned to Clara who was deeply engrossed in eating her cotton candy.
“I don’t know why you didn’t get any, we both are sad we deserve some sweetness at least” Clara mumbled.
“Hmm…. so do you notice that someone has been following us around?”
Clara’s lips parted, she stopped walking and turned around to check if they were truly being followed but all she could see was people living their normal lives.
“Nah… I don’t think so… no one knows where we are and so what if we are being followed? what is their aim?”
Dylan’s ears picked up a small sound piercing through the air, he quickly pulled Clara out of the way and an arrow swooshed her cotton candy nailing it to a tree.
Clara and Dylan turned back in surprise but they found no one suspicious.
“Try telling me about its sweetness once more” Dylan scoffed.
“It’s not funny…. someone tried to kill me!”
Dylan rolled his eyes and pulled her out of the vicinity hurriedly.
“Listen to my advice and let’s go back home, our hideout is no longer a hideout”
Clara folded her arm “This is coming from a guy who is so desperate to meet his lover again!” she teased.
Luciana banged her fist on the tree where her arrow landed, she pulled the arrow out of the tree and tossed the cotton candy away in anger.
“First it was Louisa and now this b*tch! how much more can I handle? and Dylan? was he seriously going to take an arrow for that s*lut?”
She turned to leave when she saw a few people looking at her, she scoffed at them, they must be thinking that she was a mad lady.
“What are you all staring at? it’s not my fault that he has an interest in ladies with bad reputations and disgusting background!”

Amelia stretched her arms wide open, she turned to the other side of the bed to see it empty. Today was her last movie shoot and she was so excited about it.
She drew the duvet to cover her bare body when Liam came in.
“You are looking so energetic, I bet I didn’t wear you out like I had thought”
Amelia smiled and accepted the bowl of soup he brought for her. She noticed he was all dressed up for the office. “what says the time?” she asked taking a sip from the bowl.
Liam glanced briefly at his wrist watch “It’s past eleven”
Amelia spat the soup out of her mouth “What? it’s so late! why didn’t you wake me up? I’m supposed to be on set by now, today is my last…..
Liam placed a palm over her running mouth “I spoke to the director, you can go whichever time you deem right”
“And by the way I’m heading to the hospital to see dad”
Amelia who was about to sip the hot soup paused for a while, was it her hearing or did Liam just address mark as his father?
“W… what did you just say?” She asked just to be sure.
“I’m sorry it escaped my mind… he was admitted into the hospital yesterday but he is alright now”
Amelia drew her brows in worry “What happened to him?”
Liam tilted his head to the side, if he ever told her the truth he could already imagine what she would do.
“He slipped and hurt his arm but he will be fine” Liam briefly explained, he picked up his briefcase.
“Abby has been waiting for you to wake up for a while now”
He walked back to the bed where she was seated and planted a kiss on her lips. “I love you”
She smiled at him, he turned around and began walking away. “Liam” she called out.
He stopped walking and turned around “It’s good to see that you’ve started addressing uncle mark as dad please consider Chloe too”. Liam nodded and left the room.
Amelia sipped her soup slowly, today started on a good note for her how she wished it ended on a good note also..

Louisa picked up her phone when she saw it flashed on. “A new message? from who?”
She dropped her mug of tea on the dining table and sat down to read the message.
“Hmm… from the Wesley’s…. You are to officially resume work on Tuesday by 8:15am failure to do so will result in a strict punishment…..”
She sprang up to her feet….” Why am I seeing this now? it’s past eleven and by the way Dylan isn’t around for me to work with! I better get down there to see what this is about!”
..
Louisa panted slightly as she ran into the building surprisingly for her no one was in their respective post.
“is this some joke?” she mumbled irritably.
She returned to the front desk to make some inquiries everyone’s whereabouts.
“hello please where is everyone?”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
The new receptionist smiled sweetly at her “Oh they are in the meeting room it started twenty minutes ago”
“Meeting? but Dy… I mean the boss isn’t around yet”
The receptionist shrugged her shoulders, Louisa sighed and left for the meeting room.
She slowly opened the huge door to sneak in and mix with the other employees.
“Where do you think you are going?”
A low icy voice pierced into her ears, the other employees turned their attention to her.
Louisa’s lips parted in disbelief as she stared at him, he was resting on the table with his arms crossed.
Louisa clutched her purse tightly as a thousand questions ran through her mind. She was happy to see him and at the same time angry to see him.
Dylan raised his hand to stop the presentation going on by one of his employees, he walked towards Louisa in a slow pace.
“What makes you think that you can come to the office anytime you want?” he growled at her.
Louisa raised a brow at him, she noticed the change in his tone, no matter how angry he might be he never raises his voice at her.
“I’m… so.. sorry I didn’t know…..”
“Sorry?” he said cutting off her speech.
Louisa avoided making eye contact with him, she knew he was upset with her and that’s why he was lashing out at her.
“As per the rules of the company which states that every late comer will be punished, and I don’t think that you are above that rule”
Louisa snapped her head to him Punished? this wasn’t the first time she was coming late to the office, infact she has never been to the office on time.
The employees murmured among themselves. “I thought they were engaged” a lady whispered.
Dylan turned sharply to the lady who just spoke “Hey you! I want your resignation letter in the next twenty minutes for saying rubbish”
