She taps her feet anxiously sitting in the admin office of her school she had been teaching in for years. She was anxious when she came here this morning because she doesn't know what to expect. She hadn't been in for almost two weeks (1-week abduction and six days after being rescued).

What if she can't keep this job?

"I can explain". She said to the man who has her job in his hand

"I regret to inform you..."

She didn't even hear his unreasonable comments on her performance and all. She loved teaching children and she had worked hard on it for years and because she did a mistake, they got rid of her.

She sighs.

She looks at the papers in her hand when she heard a loud sound and her head turns to the luxurious car she was too familiar with.

"How can I miss this?" He asked walking out of the car with that smirk, "They kicked you out?"

"Shut up". She said groaning but she felt light

"I did tell you human are disappointing but a human can also be opportunist".

"I get it. The human can be unpredictable, despicable and whatnot. I am not mad at being out of the school just that they could have just said that I disappeared for a week is the reason, not my performance".

"You love the school that much?"

"Just teaching. I can hardly stand school".

"So build your own".

"You made it sound easy". She said rolling her eyes

"Because it is. It only seems hard because you let yourself believe it".

"Who will ever invest in it? And help me with the land? Building? Structure and whatnot".

"You are just so oblivious. I don't know if that's a good thing anymore".

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"I will invest in you, Sarah. Even if it means every last penny of my wealth".

"Are you crazy? Why will you do that?"

"Simple. Because it is you".

"That's not good enough reason. And if I meant to do it by myself then I am doing everything on my own. For now, I have to find a new job".

"Work for me". He said and she narrows her eyes at him, "The post is clear and no one was selected. It isn't that bad to get a little help and help me a little too. You know because I can't take stress, it's not good for my heart".

"You are really something else".

"Thanks".

He opens the door for her and she sits inside and once he settled in she spoke, "You know your sarcasm isn't going to get you out of the psychiatrist appointment you have in an hour".

"Damn. I thought you will forget it in your sorrow".

"Not happening. And I have mine to be at so turn the car in the direction of the hospital".

He sighs.

She can be persuasive when she wants to. He didn't feel anxious when sitting in the waiting room as he looks around at people. No thoughts of people thinking he was crazy to be here passed him. Just the thought that she has asked for him to let go and if it means this- so be it.

"Do you think you can let go?" The doctor asked him after listening to his story for an hour

He shrugged, "I don't think so".
