My Strong Secretary (Riansh ff)

Chapter 14

Riddhima

I faced him with all the probabilities in this situation.

"Did that boy see your face?" he asked me, I had myself covered up, so I doubt it to happen.

"No, I had it covered, near to impossible if they manage to identify me" I stated matter of fact ly.

He nodded, "I will photoshop this picture to find it in color, that would be more useful" I stated brilliantly.

I had it in the tip of my fingers. I was a computer genius when I was in college.

I used to be the best. I took computer to do a better job and I did! I handled my Masters in Business and computer, effortlessly.

I love to do whatever I do professionally.

"Ok, how long will it take?" since we will not photoshop it in a cyber cafe, it was normal for him to ask but he had no clue what of a genius I am.

I smirked, a wave of confusion passed over his face.

"Less than five minutes" I answered.

He was shocked, I needed to save time, so I nodded. I did all necessary to make it better, editing, filter, clarity. I photo shopped it totally.

A minute later, I came back with a photoshopped copy of the picture.

"Let's start" He stated smugly.

It has been five hours and we have zero to no information on this boy. I chased the boy hoping to stop all this, chased him until I fully lost him.

Did we miss something? Maybe we did or maybe not. The garage, the garage, something.Thinking back, I realised we missed the biggest hint.

My eyes widened, realising what I missed, I got up. The chair fell down with a loud thud.

"Is there a problem?" The question fell to deaf ears as I started ascending my way down the stairs to the road. My feet practically raced down the way I chased him and came back.

Someone was calling me, but I did not stop, I was still sprinting, giving a damn about anything. Was it this?

Was it this street? I came across a crossing, think, I need to think. Left or right? Left or right, left or- Right! I turned my shoes and took off.

Ignoring the calls, I ran till I reached the place. No, not yet. This is not that place. This, a bit more.

"Riddh-" I stopped. Looking around, I saw it from afar. I sprinted till I reached my destination. "Yes!" I exclaimed. The automobile garage is there.

"What on earth were you thin-" he paused, when he noticed the place he was in for, "what is this place?" he completed. I heaved a smile of relief.

"The same place I lost that guy, I lost it here in this maze-like automobile garage" I walked inside and he followed. "The dent here is the sign of my frustration when I lost him" I pointed towards the maroon car on the third stash.

His eyes widened, "No wonder you lost him here, it is like a maze. But why did you run here in the middle of work" he questioned me quizzically.

"We will definitely find something here, something definitely" I looked around the corners "let us break up, separate and search around the whole place" I brought my thoughts up.

"and since there are two roads one here and one there, I will take this right, you take that left." I declared to him, while pointing the directions and he nodded.

I had taken note of the two ways inside when I surveyed it twice while running around the place.

"And yeah, we will meet back here, do not forget the way back, take note of the surroundings and check everywhere. If anything seems weird call me and vice versa" I said in one breath. I was dead on serious on finding this guy.

"or give me a sign." And from there we started searching. The place had a eerie aura. I kneeled down and checked below all the cars.

Vansh

After all the instructions, we parted. I searched on the left side, hoping to find something that could speed up the investigation. I want to find the guy.

I need to. I need to protect whatever I got and I am set on doing so by hook or by crook. I won't leave a corner..

This place's information seemed to slip from my mind. I should have asked her where she went following the guy.

But luckily, she remembered and immediately set off for this place. The place seems weird for hiding or running. It was quite strange that someone escaped from here. This place has no exit!

Someone escaping from anyone's grasp from here is nearly impossible. I examined the place vividly. If I can, this is my only chance to finding answers.

Since I have a very strong weapon aboard, it should give me some advantage. I checked below cars and it seems like I got lost.

Great, just what I wanted! Just great!

I looked around, steadying my arms around my hips. I ran my hands through my hair, ruining my hair style. I licked my dry lips.

I walked a bit more and now it seems like I made some progress in searching. Hope made me want to go more. I walked around checking through every nook and hook of the corner.

Unbelievable, this place has so many cars, it is impossible to check every place but I have to. I have to ensure that my family will be safe and they will not have to look over their shoulder to check if there is someone watching them.

I want to ensure the freedom of my family. I know that I am being selfish by dragging Ms. Riddhima in this and I know that I should be thankful for her to try protecting me from the threat.

But, if it was about me than I would have not dragged her in this mess but now, I need her to ensure my family's safety and freedom.

Their safety and freedom means more than anything to me. And her, her eccentric strength will somehow help. Somehow I know that. It might be dangerous for her but I have no other option than to blackmail her into cooperation.

Again, it looks like I am lost again. I am in front of a brick wall, of height 6 feet.

Frustration took over me. I am lost again. I looked around and now, it looks like I have no way back. I need to call her.

I took my cell out and dialled her number. "Pick the damn phone" I exclaimed. Looking around, while the phone was on my left ear, I noticed something, "pick it u-" my eyes widened and bent down to take a look at what seemed like a card or something.

I picked the item out and my eyes widened even more. If possible, it could fall off.
