Chapter 11: Taking responsibility.
On my way to the lab, I met Brent.
He asked me why I was running and where I was going?
I told him that the head of the department wanted to meet me and asked me to see him in the chemistry lab immediately, so I am going there.
He asked me to walk slowly as I may trip and hurt myself. I smiled and said, "ok, I will be careful. see you later at lunch ".
Brent left for his office and I walked quickly towards the lab. When I reached the chemistry lab, I found that the door to the chemistry lab was opened.
I entered the lab but the lights were turned off and there was no one inside that lab.
I called whether someone was in there or not but didn't receive any reply.
Suddenly, I felt as if someone was standing behind me.
I turned back and found a shadow of a female with long hair holding a bottle of chemical in her hand.
She was abo
Everything was going well, I and Mr Brent were getting along very well. I was working as his assistant and our research project was also going well.One day, things started to change in the town as many females were being raped and killed by a serial killer.Everyone in the city was terrified by such a horrible thing going on. Everyone avoided staying out late.Days went by and nearly one to two murders were reported each month.I didn't know whether it was fate or a bad karma that I ended up as a witness of one of such cases.
Being stalked.Now I lost my hope of having a normal life for a while as I became the only witness of a serial murder case.I had a nightmare when I reached my home that day. In the nightmare, I saw myself as a child. I was playing in our old house. I was in my room that was as huge as our current house. My room was painted pink. I had a huge shelf filled with toys. I had my own separate playing area as well. I was playing inside my room, when my father knocked at my door and told me that Brent was here to play with me. I jumped with joy and ran outward in order to meet Brent. I had never seen the childhood images of Mr Brent before but in my dream I saw the child version of him. He was sitting in the drawing room and was waiting for me. When
Next morning, I woke up late as I did not have a sound sleep. I totally forgot that it was the most important day for me as we had to submit our research proposal inorder to get the ethical approval but I got late for my work. I woke up at 8:30 and I had to report to the department at 9:00. I quickly dressed up and did my hair and left in a hurry.I reached the department by 9:20. I was afraid that if the head of the department found out that I was late, he would deduct points from my final assessment as I was still in training and needed good remarks from the research department in order to further apply for fellowship in the same hospital.In order to avoid meeting the head of the department, I sneaked through the back gate of the department but I guess that day was not in my favor because as soon as I entered the gate, I spotted the head doing a monthly surv
Love got in trouble:I sneaked into my office as quietly as I could because I was afraid that if I ended up waking Mr Brent, he would again start lecturing me.But as soon as I passed by the sofa, Mr Brent woke up. He looked at me and was about to say something when he saw my burned hand. After looking at my hand, he held my hand, asked me to sit down on sofa, and again gave me an angry look. I felt as if burning my own hand was my mistake. Before he could say anything I started giving excuses for my burned hand, " I didn't intentionally do it. It was an accident, I swear."He didn't say anything after hearing my excuse and went to his office in order to take the first aid box.I really thought that I would get scolded for burning my hand but I guess that day was not as unlucky as I thought it to be. He came back from his office with a first aid box in his hand. He applied ointment on my burn hand and then wrapped my hand with a band-aid.He didn't ask me how I got this bu
I followed what Lisa's father told me and called Mr Brent , "Mr Brent, Lisa's father wants to talk with you." Lisa's father took phone from my hand and started threatening Mr Brent," If you do not return my daughter in next 2 hours, you will not be able to see this Bitch live again. This is my promise to you." He hung up the phone after threatening him. I didn't get the whole situation as why he was asking Mr Brent to free Lisa. How Mr Brent was related to all of this. I asked Lisa's father regarding the whole thing. He told me that My Brent is the one who kidnapped Lisa in order to get revenge in your stead. I know what Lisa did to you was wrong. She shouldn't have burned your hand but don't you think that its a bit too much to kidnap her for such a small mistake. I could not believe his words at first as Mr Brent was not such kind of person. I knew that he cared about me alot but he would not go to such an extent.
Chapter 17: CEO got sickI changed into my jogging clothes and opened my door. As I opened the door, I saw Mr Brent sitting in front of my door. He was asleep. I tried to wake him up by calling his name but he didn't respond. He was murmuring something. I got close to him to listen to what he was trying to say. He was actually calling my name, "Linda, Don't leave me again. I'm sorry for all I did. I will never do it again. "I told him that I was not leaving and asked him to come inside the house but he didn't seem to be in his senses. He kept on repeating the same sentence over and over again. I shaked him in the hope that he might wake up but all in vain. Then I touched his forehead, he was burning with fever. It was all my fault. I shouldn't have pushed him away. I took him inside the house and laid him on the sofa. He was too heavy so I couldn't take her to the room. I went to the kitchen in order to take some water. I put some cold cloth on his forehead so that his
chapter 18 : Was it all a dream.I and Miss Sandy both sat down on the bench by the tree in the park. I told the whole story to her. She looked at the sky and sighed loudly. She started talking in a calm tone, "Love is something that can turn even the wiser into fools". She reminded me that everything is okay for person who is in love. Someone madly in love don't knows any limits or restrictions when it comes to the love of their life. She asked me to think Brent of as such a mad person. It might seems that he had a perfect life as he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and was at the peak of his career but no one was aware of his loneliness and how sad his life was.Sometimes a small misunderstanding can ruin the whole life of a person and somehow that was going on with the Brent. He was the victim of that one small misunderstanding for which he had payed a bit too much and was still paying for it.He never had any friend beside me as he couldn't bear get
I immediately hurried towards my home as I was afraid that if I didn't reach the home in the next few minutes, Brent would start looking for me.As soon as I reached my home and rang the doorbell, Brent opened the door swiftly as if he was standing behind the door waiting for me.I knew he would start nagging as soon as he would see me and that was what actually happened. " Linda! Where have you been? Don't you know that I would get worried after getting up if I didn't find you by my side?"I replied saying," Stop nagging Ben. You act like my mom all the time. I'm a grown-up adult and can take care of myself."I ended up offending him because by mistake I referred to him as Ben."Ben?" He stared at me in surprise."I'm sorry. I mean Brent." I apologized and looked away.The jealousy was all over his face. After that he kept on asking me over and over again how close Ben and I were. I told him that we were best friends for a long time now and
