Hearing my words

Chapter 47

Can's eyebrows raised in surprise as Deren answer Polen's call, placing the call on speaker so Can could also hear.

"gunaydin, Polen."

"Deren, is Can with you, he is not answering my calls."

"Well, Polen, do you blame him? After all the things you did to break up him and Sanem?"

"No, but this is important! Please, if he is there I need to talk to him. Huma is up to her old tricks."

Can is shaking his head no "Sorry, but he is in a meeting outside of the agency this morning. I will tell him you called."

"Deren, please, I need to share some information with him that he needs to know."

"Like I said, I will tell him, it is up to him if he calls. I really need to go Polen." she said and hung up the phone.

"What game is she playing now?" 

"I don't know Can but she sounded upset. Maybe you should call her."

"I will think about it. Let's get this day started. I would like for you to call a staff meeting, I want everyone there. And, please ask Aslan to join us."

She nodded her head and walked out the door, still thinking about the call from Polen.

Later in the day, Can had a meeting with Metin, he told him what happened over the weekend.

"are you sure it was Fabri?"

"What other Italian who speaks turkish would be following me?" his voice full of concern. "I am afraid for my loved ones. With someone trying to enter the agency, it just worries me. I know we have it on video but it was impossible to tell who the person was." He didn't mention that he was mostly concerned for Sanem. He changed the subject quickly before he slipped up."Polen keeps calling and texting me."

"What does she want? I can't believe she would think you would want anything else to do with her."

"Well, I haven't answered her calls. She even called Deren this morning to see if she could get me to call her. Says Huma is up to her old tricks, which I already know. But, she said she had something important to tell me."

"I don't know what to think, what if she is really trying to help you. I mean surely she knows that if she continues to do what Huma says she will only cause herself trouble."

"I made it perfectly clear, I didn't even want a friendship with her after all she did. I know Huma can be persuasive but Polen is a smart woman.  Desperate but smart."

"I would be curious as to what she wants to say, if I were you. Maybe she does have something to tell you that might help you to keep Huma out of your life."

"I don't know! I will think about it. Let's go have lunch, I'm buying."

The two friends stood up and walked out of the agency. Neither one noticing the black car that was parked across from Farki Haraki. As soon as they were out of view the door opened and Huma stepped out of the car walking into the agency.

The receptionist looked up and signaled for the guard to stand by as this was Can's Anne but she was not allowed upstairs. Huma, of course, walked toward the stairs when the guard stepped in front of her.

"I am sorry, ma'am but all visitors must check in at the reception desk."

"I am not a visitor, I am Emre Divit's mother."

"I am sorry but I have strict orders, no one is allowed upstairs without a guest pass." He motioned his hand toward the desk as another guard joined him. Huma knowing she would not be given a pass stomped out of the building.
