<Flashback ends>

Caroline’s POV

After a hot shower for almost an hour and after popping 2 tablets for headache, I am finally feeling good (if I ignore dizziness and vacant feeling in my head). Dude! This was the worst hangover of my life. ‘Umm… Actually, no Carrie.’ Whoa! Now I am talking to myself.

This is second time. Except for the first time no one was there to hold me, to bring me home, to give me a coat and to make me feel so secure. Sometimes, even if you move on, even if it is now that you are strong enough to handle yourself; it hurts badly when you think of the time when you were not. Sad but true.

And here I am. The person, whom I loved the most, left me long ago and whom I hated the most, is here with me.

Marks has left soon after I came out of shower. I have my brunch and decide to watch a movie to pass my time. But my mind is just somewhere else. I hear the door of my room open.

“Hey, how are you now?”

I turn in his direction. He enters the room and removes his coat.

“Umm hey, I am fine. Just watching a movie. How was your day?” I say while pausing the movie I was not even watching.

“It was good” he says and starts pulling off his tie but it’s kind of stuck. I move closer to him.

“May I?” I ask sheepishly while bringing my hands up to his collar. He just sighs and brings his hands down to his sides. He has been trying so hard with his tie that a tough knot is formed. It takes me two minutes to finally remove the knot and loosen his tie. He sighs again and looks at me, “Well, it has been a bad day though.”

I nod and then I notice his messed up hair out of running his hands a thousand times and his tired eyes. “You look tired.”

“Yeah, I am tired.” He moves towards his closet, “It’s our new car launch. Everything is planned though, tomorrow is a big day for me and Dream Automobiles. I really want it to be successful.”  He closes his closet and throws his tee and sweats on bed.

“Relax Klaus. It will be all fine. You have planned everything. You have given this project everything you had. But…” I trail off unsure of my words.

“But, what?” he turns to look at me.

“It feels as if you are worried of something else.” I see him clenching his jaw a little, “And it’s fine if you don’t want to talk about it.”

“No, nada, it’s nothing like that. All I am thinking about is catching public attention. I need something, that spark which will ignite public interest in our car launch. Rest will be carried out by my employees. The car’s features are worth.” He finishes with a swoosh gesture. His eyes are twinkling with excitement and determination to achieve his dreams.

“So you need is to grab attention. That’s it?” I ask to confirm.

“Hmm…”

“Would you mind if I do that for you?” I ask unsure. I think he will say no. why is he staring now?

“And how would you do that?”

“Leave that on me.” I smirk.

“Am I not the one you hate? I mean I should be careful.” He winks.

“Well, right now you don’t have to be. I woke up on my good side.” I smile and he laughs.

“And why is that so?”

“Klaus, thank you for bringing me home when I was like wasted. I don’t even remember a thing. Except for the dinner and dancing… that’s all.”

“It’s just fine. It was my first time too.” he chirps getting out of his shirt.

“You first time too? How? Were you drunk?”

“Nope, I never had any chance to bring a drunken girl home” he winks and grabs a towel before I rush to punch him.

“I hate you!” I yell trying my best not to laugh.

“Aww… it hurts Mrs. Wife” he quickly closes the bathroom door.

I compose myself and grab my phone and punch in the number. Dear friend, it’s time to return the favor. She picks up the call after second ring, “Hey sis! How have you been? How is life after marriage?”

“Hey Amanda. I need a favor.”

Klaus’s POV

45 minutes are left for the launch and I really have no idea what is going to happen. Since the moment I have told Caroline about my problem. It’s like she has taken all the responsibility for it. She had been working late night on planning something. She asked for my assistant and secretary’s numbers. The whole time they were reporting her, when they were supposed to be reporting to me. Here I am! Clueless!

“Mr. Hall” I hear Martha, my secretary calling me.

“Yes”

“Sir, I have the whole layout for you.” She shows me plan sheet. I nod and she continues, “This is the main entry sir. You will be sitting here with your father and your wife. After speech you will be called on-stage. Followed by ceremony and other formalities. Few questions by press members. If you want it can be avoided.” She pauses and looks at me expectantly.

“It’s fine.”

“This is all sir.”

“What? This is all you have to tell me?”

“Yes Mr. Hall. This is all I was told by Mrs. Hall.”

“So now you are following her orders?” this is enough for me. I can’t just sit and take orders. I am the boss here. I can feel volcanic eruptions in my brain.

“Umm… Sorry Mr. Hall”

Before I could fire her, I hear someone clearing throat. I turn to see and find Caroline standing there, at the entrance of my cabin.

“You may leave Martha.” I ask her to leave. And she gushes out, closing the door behind her.

“Hi, how are you? I am sorry I woke up early today so came here to see if everything’s fine.” She smiles and moves closer to my table.

As her fragrance fills me, her soft gaze and that smile on her face, it makes me feel relaxed a lot. I smile a genuine one.

“So shall we head towards the venue?” she brings her hand forward. I stand up, move beside her and bring my arm forward for her to lay her hand on, “With pleasure Mrs. Wife”.

After a drive for about 20 minutes, we reached the venue. And hell! That IS a very big attention than I expected. Reporters are throwing themselves on the car to grab every single bit of happenings.

“How does it look?” she asks.

“I am impressed.”

“Really? You are easy. By the way there’s lot more to come.” She winks.

Our car stops at the main entrance and armed guards rush to our car to open the gates. I come out first and bring my hand out for Caroline. Amongst those flashes, I can see really uncomfortable Caroline. Amazing! A girl who has spent her life behind camera is shy to face one. I bring my arm forward for her again and she lays her hand rather nervously.

We head to our seat and I find father already waiting for us. I must say this whole place looks grand. We seated ourselves and then lights are out. The stage lights up. What next?

A little surprise for Klaus. What do you think? Will Caroline be able to help Klaus out? Or will it be a tragic shock for him? Do comment.
