Pacing to stand by the window, Mike looked out without really seeing the car park.
Suddenly, he dialed a number and made a call.
“Hello Mark, this is Mike Stanford. I want you to drop everything you’re doing and work on this for me. I don’t mind the cost, but I need you to find this guy. I don’t have much information on the guy but his name is Tom and he used to date one of my employees, Liza. I will send you a picture once I can get it from her phone, but until then, do your own research and find him for me.”
He told the other person on the phone and after getting an affirmative response, he dropped the call to continue his pace by the window.
If only Liza will just wake and talk to him.

It's possible to be alive but deep inside; you know you're dead. . . ****** Dropping the phone back to its cradle at the other end and walking slowly to his parked motorcycle, Tom gave an angry growl of pain. So, Liza has been unconscious for several days now and they are not sure if she will ever come out of it? All thanks to him. Wow! What a way to reward genuine love and affection. He knew he wasn’t fit to date and love anybody, yet he went ahead to accept Liza and her love. And now, see what he did? He’s on the verge of destroying another life, just because he couldn’t get over his hell of a childhood. He’s busy taking out the anger and garbage he felt for his parents over innocent victims. And now, the most decent thing that has ever happened to him is lying in the hospital, comatose.

Persistence can open doors. . . ***** Walking into the hospital later that evening, Stella wondered if Mike knew what he was doing. Having called a few days back to give a report on Liza’s health and also instructed Stella to cancel anything that might need his personal attention, he hadn’t made a single call of appearance to the office and neither had he called again. Just a brief message in the morning telling Stella what and what not to do till he is back at the office. And now, having noticed Liza’s absence and of course the boss’s absence, there is a rumour brewing and puzzled and confused, Stella has decided, as a friend and not just an employee, to come to the hospital and see for her eyes, exactly what was going on. And now, here she is, waiting for a nurse to lead her to Liza’s private room.

Hope should never be lost. . . ***** Getting news that was different from what he feared, Mike almost fell from the joy of it. He felt like dancing and at the same time, he felt like putting his head on the doctor’s shoulder to weep deeply like he had never done since he was a child. This of course was more than absurd. He had never been the type to give rein to public emotions and display, so he wondered where that came from. Raising his shoulder as if that would get rid of the unwelcome emotions, he closed his eyes tightly before opening them to look at the doctor. Smiling, he moved to the doctor to take her hand in appreciation but her next words stopped him in his tracks. “Unfortunately, I also have some bad news.” Having decided to just say it, the doctor quickly informed him in a rush before he c

Love is a strong man's weakness…******“Okay, what do you want to know?” Mike asked with a brave face while shivering deep inside, praying she didn’t ask him anything he wouldn’t be able to answer.“Who am I? And what’s my name?” She asked in an anxious tone.Finding that to be simple to answer, Mike gave a breath of relief. “Well, your name is Liza Stacey and apart from being my assistant secretary and my newly promoted PA, you are also the most important, beautiful soul I have ever met.” He told her simply and truthfully.Wondering and blushing at this description, Liza nevertheless gave a nod of acceptance.“Okay. So how old am I and since when have I been working in your company?” She asked again and Mike smiled.&ldqu

Chemistry will always be a strong pull…******Forty five minutes later, Mike walked into the room and found her that way, soundly asleep. He gave a breath of relief as he dropped the tray of food he was holding on the table.Moving to stand beside the bed, he couldn’t help but touch her face with a light finger. Brushing a strand of hair from her face, he bent his head and gave her a very light kiss on the head. And that was when Liza opened her eyes to look directly into his blue eyeballs.Having felt a light feathery touch on her face and forehead, Liza opened her eyes and was not so shocked to see Mike as she looked directly into his sexy eyes. Hmm, what a way to wake from sleep! She thought dreamily.Seeing the dreamy look on her face, Mike almost kissed her full on the lips. But remembering why they were there, Mike abruptly gave a small cough and straightened from the bed.Oh dammit! The dre

Never be scared of a man who places you above money…******Gazing into his eyes, Liza wondered at this mood of Mike. He is just too passionate about her case and once again, she was forced to wonder.‘What exactly is her relationship to Mike? Is it just boss and employee relationship or it’s more than that?’ She pondered.Seeing Liza’s gaze on him and the pensive expression on her face, Mike wondered if he hadn’t been too obvious in his eagerness to calm Liza. Deciding to brace it out, he gave her a very dazzling smile of distraction and Liza blinked severally like an owl.‘Wow, what a smile!’ Liza thought dazedly while blinking and looking into Mike’s eyes.Seeing that she was already distracted, Mike quickly made a swift but smart move by putting some words on the scrabble. He clapped his hands gleefully and Liza took her eyes away from his face to loo

Always protect what is yours….******From the other side of the room, Mike stood by the window with his gaze beyond the hospital walls. Looking at him, no one would suspect he was aware of every movement of the woman in the room.He knew Liza was nervous and tensed about this visit of Stella. And earlier, when he saw she was potently worried about meeting her, he had decided to cancel the meeting, he did not want Stella or anybody coming around if it’s going to disturb her this much, but stubborn as she was, Liza had become more upset, telling him not to dare call it off else she would never forgive him.Well, here they are, waiting for his secretary who might step in through the door at any moment from now and the more the time of their appointment draws near, the more the woman on the bed grows tense.And the more she felt that way, the angrier Mike feels, blaming himself for having suggested the meeting

A good ending for all… ****** Two weeks Later, Mike sent a bunch of flowers to Tom’s room at the hospital, having heard he was responding to treatment and would soon be discharged. He had also heard that with the help of his father’s team, his father was flown to London to be with his son at his critical moment. Mike felt for them but he knew they would get through it and survive together. That’s just life! It will throw you but if you are willing to stand again, everything will work out. Liza had heard him on the phone when he was ordering for the flowers and she had thought the flowers were to wish Tom a quick recovery and to also cheer him up. But only Mike knew that the real reason he sent the beautiful bunch of flowers was to silently thank Tom for indirectly bringing them back together. By pointing out some home truths to Liza, he made her see what she should have known, ‘That Mike would always be there for her’. For that alone, it shows the guy had some redeeming trait

We all deserve genuine love… ****** For long moments, they looked into each other’s eyes with trusting eyes that suddenly turned passionate. Mike’s eyes flared with a knowing light and Liza gave an unconscious gasp. Mike grinned as he lightly pushed her to continue walking to the car! “You always seem to be surprised every time I make my love and passion obvious, why?” He had always wanted to ask her. “I don’t know, Mike. Maybe because I never truly believed you could really love me, so I am always surprised when I see the evidence of it.” She admitted softly. Mike did not say anything to that as he opened the door for her to go in. Then he circled the car to join her and only then did he turn to look at her. “But that’s bullshit, babe. I have been showing you nothing but my love since we started dating.” Mike reminded her. “I know, Mike, but I guess it was just hard for me to believe and understand. I mean, I grew up without knowing much love, so how would I have recognized i

Give an option of doubt…*****Putting the phone back into his pocket, Mike turned to go back to Liza and that was when he saw her, watching him with a dazed look.“You heard everything, right?” Tiredly, he asked her, unable to hide it again.Liza nodded slowly.“I am sorry, Liza, but it is not what you think. I can explain, okay?” Mike was worried she might misunderstand.Again, Liza nodded slowly.“I am sure you have a reasonable explanation Mike and I promise to listen without judging you.” Liza acknowledged softly.Relieved, Mike nodded as he walked to her.“Thank you. I promise to tell you everything without hiding a word.” He embraced her soft body to him, knowing that he needed the warmth.Liza accepted his words and actions with a smile as she returned his embrace.******The following morning, Liza and Mike walked out of the old building with Martha who was holding tightly to the purple eyed, immensely bruised Tom.His left eyes were almost closed and Liza feared he might nev

Be honest with your loved ones… ******* What happened the next moment was so sudden, Mike was sure he was about to have a heart failure. “Oh my God—Oh my God—-Oh my God.” Liza kept crying. Recovering himself, Mike quickly left his seat to hold onto her shoulders. “Liza? Are you okay? Talk to me.” He saw the distressful emotion she was in and he could not bear it. It’s a fact that whatever affected Liza would get to Mike. Her joy and sadness were equally part of him. “I totally forgot, Mike. I did not mean to, but I forgot. I am a bad person. A very bad evil lady.” She cried softly while holding onto him. “Whatever it is Liza, we will get through it together, but I will not accept any disparaging word on your person. You are not a bad person and neither are you evil. So right now, I want you to take a deep breath and tell me what this is all about.” A little bit calmed by Mike’s reasonable voice, Liza took a calming breath. “It’s Tom, Mike, I totally forgot about him.” Liza exp

Apologies don't make you less of a man… **** Helping each other to dress up four hours later after a short nap on his office sofa bed, Liza sent a smug smile across to Mike. “You need to apologise to your staff Mike, they did not deserve the treatments you have been melting out on them.” Liza pointed out and Mike groaned. He did not have to ask Liza, he should have known Stella would tell her all about it. “I am serious, Mike, you need to apologise. Just imagine if any of your staff is acting unprofessional just because they are going through a lot at home. Would you accept that, even if you try to be understanding towards their plight?” Liza demanded to know. “I am the boss, Liza, it is different.” He pointed out arrogantly, trying to cover up. but he knew she was right. ‘That’s the thing about Liza, she was always almost right.’ He thought fondly with another groan. “No Mike, there is nothing different about it. They are humans and if you are truly the man I know you to be, I

A forgiving spirit is a kind one…*******Typing furiously away at her system while equally muttering furiously to herself, Stella was not aware of the person at her desk until she heard a chuckle which made her jump in fright.“Is the building on fire or what?” Liza asked with an amused gaze while watching the different emotions flashing across the face of her former senior colleague.“Liza Stanford, you scared me.” Stella cried, turning her full glare on the innocent Liza.“Uh oh wow, take it easy with the glare okay? I’m innocent of whatever the crime was.” Chuckling, she raised her hands in mock surrender.Stella snorted, unimpressed.Innocent her foot! Whatever their boss was going through, Stella knew Liza had a hand in it and even if it’s not in Stella’s place to say it out loud, she just hoped they could settle whatever it was between them.Having been married for several years now, she knew it was not always smooth sailing between couples.Just look at her and her husband Leo

Correct your mistakes once you know it… ******At the other end, Liza kept staring at the silent phone in her hand. Mike had dropped the call. Without telling her it was a joke. Which meant that truly, he was pushing for a divorce? ‘No way! Over my dead body.’ She swore violently as she ran to the bathroom. Almost tearing off the clothes on her body, she hurriedly lathered the washing clothes with soap as she switched on the shower, full blast. Dressing with haste, five minutes later, Liza was walking down the stairs, smartly dressed in one of her office clothes. But before she could cover the last step, one of the maids walked in from the hallway to greet her respectfully. “Good afternoon, Mrs. Stanford.” “Good afternoon Mary. I am on my way out and I might not be back for a while.” She said in a distracted tone while checking her bag to make certain she had all she wanted. “Oh okay Madam, but I was just on my way upstairs to tell you there is a visitor at the door asking fo

A disappointed heart is always heavy…****Glaring fiercely at the door of his office, willing any of his staff to walk through the door so he could at least have an excuse to vent his frustrations, his eyes caught the favourite coffee mug on his table and picking it up, he threw it violently at the wall and the smashing sound gave him a momentary satisfaction.At that exact moment, the Head of Sales Department was on his way to discuss the latest marketing pitch with the boss after deciding to brave the lion’s then. Even his colleagues had teased him when he casually told them he was in to see the boss.There had been teasing calls about his head and they had all laughed, saying by the time Mike Stanford was done blasting him off, his considered small head would become bigger as it rolled on the floor. Someone had even said he was sure he would come out without his tongue in his mouth.Of course, he had scoffed disdainfully, not giving them the chance to see his fear.Only the Head o

The surprise package…*****Liza dismissed the maid and, turning with a determined step, she hurriedly walked to the door just as the person pressed the bell again. Liza groaned ferociously as she pulled the chain from the back of the door.“Who the hell are you that you want to bring down the whole house just to get what you want?” Liza blasted the person with furious eyes even before the door was completely open.The short bald man that was standing at the door blinked owlishly up at her, surprised by the unexpected attack.“I—I didn’t--hmm aha…” The man stopped coughing slightly but when he took a little glance up, he saw Liza was still furious, so he dropped his eyes to try again.“I—I’m—sorry madam. I was just trying to do my job.” He stammered in a voice that was a bit scared.Liza glared the more upon hearing this silly talk. “Excuse me? You mean your job is to disturb my peace?” “No—No—of—course not, madam. I was just trying to get the attention of whoever is in the house.” H
