Are you following me Mr Hiddleston? (A Tom Hiddleston Fanfiction)

Chapter 23

Wednesday 1st September 2021

As Tom and Bobby ate their breakfast, Tom was checking his emails. The top one on the list being from Luke, the header read 'statement' with an attachment with it. So, Tom took a couple of deep breaths before clicking onto the email's attached file.

"On behalf of one Tom Hiddleston.

Tom Hiddleston and Susan Kobayashi have been working closely together on a Unicef project, due to both being well respected ambassadors for the organisation. Both were delighted to have received the opportunity to work closely with the Unicef team and volunteers, in both South Sudan and Yemen. 

During their time on the trip the pair had grown rather fond of one another, and have decided to enter a 'romantic relationship.' However, nothing of a sexual nature took place during the trip, both were professionals and kept everything PG. 

As Tom Hiddleston and Susan Kobayashi continue to date, they would like for their privacy to be respected, especially now as it is still early days of their relationship.

Luke Windsor." Tom read over the attached file twice, both times didn't make him care for the part of romantic relationship, with it's irritating quotation marks. It felt more like a lie than stating actual fact. Things between himself and Susan is real, not everything was about sex. In fact they still had to make their relationship a physical one. Then Tom went back to read the email properly, and read exactly what Luke put about sending it off.

"Tom,

I've already signed and dated the statement to be released ready for 9AM today.

Luke."  Tom sighed heavily while peering at the time in the corner of his computer. 9:31am. Not that it mattered, as the time stamp in the corner of the email said 9:59am. Clearly Luke had sent the email too close to 9:00am, leaving no room for a chance to have a discussion on the final draft. Then again Tom had seen it too late anyway.

Once Tom finished up eating and spent another hour and a half working (returning emails mostly), he placed the washing up in the snick for later, then he grabbed a jacket along with Bobby's lead. The pair were off out for a run once they were ready.

Margot woke up a little more naturally than usual, in itself that was a miracle. But she still barely slept the night before. She kept tossing and turning for the majority of the time, until she had an hour of calm before waking up. Then she went through her normal morning routine and slipping away soon as breakfast was over. Once she was at work things seemed to be normal. No texts from the stalker, nor was there any notes attached to her window screen, not even one on the inside of her car. When Margot had finally finished her shift she went shopping for ingredients to make a lasagne. She was tried of take-ways and packet foods. Also, She'd been craving something homemade all day. After she completed her shopping buying a few other bits and bobs as well, she drove back to her student accommodation, then she unpacked all the shopping before jumping into the shower. She felt a little relaxed afterwards and changing out of her uniform into something more comfortable was a big help. As soon as she was changed she went downstairs, putting music on to listen to as she began making the lasagne. 

As Margot waited for the lasagne to be cooked in the oven, she turned the music off and decided to scroll through her phone instead. She ended up stumbling across many gossip and news sites about Tom and Susan. Her heart snack to the pit of her stomach, but it still kept beating rapidly. Also, her whole body started to feel numb, her breathing was becoming uneven and her entire body was shaking too.
