She sat on the bench and was confused about what to do next. Her mind was in a mess when suddenly a young man from nowhere came and stood in front of her. "Arien, where were you? After you went away I searched everywhere but still didn't find you."
"Who are you?" Arien was shocked
"Come on, don't mess around I'm Harry Chester I'm your Harry."
"Huh? Harry Chester? Who Harry Chester?"
"We loved each other so much. How could you ask such silly question?" He reached his hand to touch Arien's nose but she dodged.
She stood up and looked straight into his eyes with an emotionless face.
"He looks very confident and genuine. Is he speaking truth?" She thought to herself.
"You don't believe me? I heard that you were looking for jobs and you don't have anywhere to go. Come, stay at my place if that's the case. I'll help you out to get a good job." With this he held Arien's wrist and pulled her.
Arien was still in a daze. When she came back to her senses she realised that she was already dragged by this man into a car. After 10 minutes of drive the car stopped in front of a house and Harry came out and opened the door for Arien. They walked inside. It looked nice and cozy from inside. It gave a warm feeling but Arien didn't feel comfortable.
She didn't remember anything maybe he's not lying. Then why is she still feeling uncomfortable?
Forget it she still doesn't has a house to stay at night. If this man says that he knows her, why not take his help.
"Come and have dinner then I'll show you your room." Harry said merrily walking inside the kitchen.
She followed him to the dining table and sat there. Her eyes investigated the whole surrounding. Finally she didn't find anything unusual and breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon two bowls of noodles and salad were served on the table by a middle aged women. The women smiled gently at Arien, bowed to Harry and left.
"Dig in before it turns cold then I'll tell you about your past."
Hearing Harry's words Arien's eyes lit up.
"Really. I want to know everything." She smiled and started eating happily.She was so happy hearing his words that she didn't notice anything strange.
Seeing her excited there was a hint of satisfaction in Harry's eyes.
Hey! How does this man know that she has no memory of her past. What's happening. How did he know about it!
After eating Arien sat opposite to him and said "Now tell me everything"
"We always used to spend time together." He glanced at her and then made a long face showing dissatisfaction. "We were the best couple. But suddenly you flew back to Hill city a year ago and we lost contact. From then on I searched you everywhere trying to get your number or whereabouts but was not able to. When I was about to loose hope, I saw you in the park today."
...
Devian entered the house. Aunt Anne greeted him as usual. Devian nodded and went straight towards his room. He pushed the door open but didn't find her. He went to the balcony. There was no one.
For the first time in his life he felt empty in his heart. But...why?He dialed a number. The call was soon connected. "Yes?" A sweet voice came from the other side.
"Where are you?" Devian asked in his unusual tone.
"Oh it's you!" Arien was surprised but soon she remember that it was his phone, definitely he would have the number "I'll return you the phone as well" she said
"I asked where are you?" his voice seemed fierce.
"Anywhere but at least not with you!" with this she hung up the phone.
Hearing the busy tone Devian became even more angry.
"Dean" he called
"Director Lyle" Soon Assistant Dean entered the room.
"Locate her right away" he ordered in a cold voice that could make one shudder.
Dean immediately took the orders. Dean Rian was the most trusted subordinate of Devian. He had worked with Devian for almost a decade now. He knew his director more than anyone else around and followed him everywhere his director went. That was why his personal matters were also naturally handled by Dean.
This was the first time his director was restless for a girl. His director has his hidden motives, no doubt, but is it a better idea to become obsessed with her like this? He could do what he wanted when the time comes. Why to search her? Forget it, he has to follow his director's orders.
Soon after Dean came back and reported "Director, the signal of the spare phone you gave her is coming from Beverly hills area."
"Let's go" Devian rushed out of the house with fast yet steady steps.
Dean wanted to say him something but realized that he had already left.
Seems like director Devian Lyle is becoming obsessed with her!
...
"It's getting late. You should rest. Let me show you your room. Tomorrow I'll accompany you to look for a job." Harry led the way while happily speaking.Arien followed behind him. It was a big villa. Even if it was much smaller than the one Devian owned, it was still enough for a big family to reside in. They walked to the first floor. Suddenly something caught her attention. She glanced inside the room through the half opened door. It was the master bedroom. At the bedside table there was a photo of her. She entered into the room and looked at it closely.Yes, it was her in the photo. She was smiling brightly. She turned her head towards her left and saw many other frames hanging on the wall. She was there in every photo, smiling brightly as ever.Unconsciously, she smiled look
He stood straight, tidied his slightly crumpled shirt and held Arien's hand. Her cold hands were in his warm palm which gave her a sense of security and comfort. But as she took a step she felt a sharp pain in her right foot and struggled to stand clenching onto Devian's shirt. Devian's eyes swept from her face to her leg where there were stains of blood. He knelt down on one leg in front of her."No...stop....!""Let me help you." He didn't let Arien complete her sentence. Held her foot and opened her heels. He pick her up by her waist and started walking towards his black Mercedes parked at the road side.He helped her sit on the passenger seat and buckled up the seat belt. Then sat in the car and drove back.The Sea Bay beach was at a distance. After driving for about an
Arien opened her eyes and saw aunt Anne preparing her dress."Aunt Anne, why do you always prepare new clothes for me everyday? I can manage with only two or three pairs. It's not needed.""Miss, master asked me to take care of you. How can I not listen to him.""I asked you to call me by my name. Why do you always forget that." Arien pouted and acted like a spoiled child.In just three days of her living in the Lyle mansion she had made almost all the workers like her very much, especially aunt Anne. She treated her and respected her like her own mother. She didn't remember who her mother was but aunt Anne was so good to her that she bonded very well with her."Little girl, yo
Anyhow, Arien decided to listen aunt Anne and stayed at the house. However after staying in her room for almost two hours she got bored and decided to go and have a look in the interiors of the house. Since she was not well for the whole time she had stayed here, she didn't get the time to go around. Today she was so bored.She walked out of her room. Just beside her room there was Devian's study. She hesitated for a while and then entered. The first thing she saw was a photo on the wall."Why does he always put on such a cold face. Can't he smile a little." Arien thought while looking at Devian's photo on the wall."No doubt he's handsome, but who will think that such a handsome guy will have such a cold attitude!...sigh!"...
Her sudden action made Arien stunned. When she came back to her senses, the person in front was already in the verge of crying. Seeing that she was so emotional, Arien's intuition told her that she wasn't a bad person. She decided to believe her and tell her the truth that she had no memories of her past. Maybe she would help her get some clues about herself.They went to nearby restaurant. The weather was good for a hotpot. They sat opposite to each other."Is it so. That means you don't remember anything? Not even your parents. Have you lost all your memory?" The girl spoke first."As I told you, I only have the memory of staying in Lyle mansion and nothing else." Arien replied."OK I'll help you. Firstly I'm Ashley Collen.We
Arien visited Ashley back in the Blooms company and she insisted Arien to stay with her. It was not insisting it was purely a command.Arien could not turn her down so she asked her the address."I'll need to get my things from the Lyle mansion. I'll come there at night.""I'll be waiting to have dinner with you" Ashley gave Arien a hug and left."Sigh... I'll have to go there again, only to get my things back, nothing else." Arien looked at her watch, it was almost 6 in the evening. "Great! It's almost an hour before he arrives. I'll run away before he comes back."Arien took a cab and went straight to the Lyle Mansion. But before she could enter the living room she was shocked to see a familiar figure walking towards her.
Devian's attitude stunned Arien. She was so angry that she wanted to throw this man out of the car."Do you want to go back to Lyle mansion with me?" Devian's voice bought her back"Never....I'll " she shouted"Then why don't you go to your friend's place? Or do you want to spend more time with me?" Devian cut Arien's words and spoke casually.Ashley, who was waiting at the door for almost an hour, saw Arien in a black Mercedes car. She walked to the car and waved at the window. "Girl, you're late. I have been waiting for you for hours!"Ashley's eyes swept from Arien to the man on the driver seat. "You bought your boyfriend with you. And why didn't you tell about it. Why didn't you
"I'll drop you" Devian said with a slight hesitation."Ya.....""No need. We can walk." Arien stopped Ashley from speaking further by directly rejecting him and pulled away Ashley along with her.Devian helplessly shook his head. "Silly girl.""Slow down, he's not following." Ashley was out of breath because she has been walking.. No!She has been running for so long. She was so tired that she can't even walk now."It was a bad idea to go shopping with you this weekend. How I forgot that you were also good in athletics! How I thought I would enjoy and you have already made me so tired. My back is already so sore. I can't even move n
