I looked at him as my tears ran down, wetting my cheeks. I couldn't be more relieved when I saw Callahan was there.

I stood up immediately and I ran toward him. Without thinking, I hugged him and buried my face on his chest as I shook under his embrace. I was still in a panic and I could not ever expect myself to revolt back at Devis.

"Now, now. I don't like to eat sadness, sweetheart." He said as I punched on his chest weakly in which he chuckled.

"H-how dare you enter a private building?" Devis shouted, holding his nose tightly.

"Private?" Callahan blinked innocently.

"I can sue you for trespassing!" He said.

Callahan grinned. "Why don't you try that now?" He pointed at the land line and invited him to call the security. "I meant, sue me..."

His challenging gaze somehow made Devis worried and he reached the phone while holding his nose with one hand.

"Hello, security! There is a man who has trespassed and entered my office!" He shouted over the phone for a while, "How can you not see a man trespassing!"

He growled in anger as he put down the receiver and dialed another number.

"You need to compose yourself now. People are coming," Callahan whispered as I nodded against his chest. I felt weak and didn't want to leave him as if he was going to make everything alright. I wanted to stay like that because I felt more secure when he wrapped me in his embrace.

I somehow stood straight beside him but right there I wanted to go home and get a good bath and sleep. Or, maybe a hug...

I felt so exhausted.

Callahan put his hand on my head and patted, he said, "You did great."

I felt warmth spreading in my heart and once again my tears came out.

He warned, "Don't cry now or I will be very displeased."

I simply nodded but cried. I had never gone through that kind of experience before mostly because I was surrounded by the protection of my parents. Now I know why my parents were against me living alone.

Devis was on the phone shouting at someone and soon the door behind us opened.

Two security guards, the receptionist and Mr Denver entered. Devis looked at them and growled, "This man had trespassed and entered my building yet none of you have seen him!"

Mr Denver looked at me and then to Devis and he asked, "What happened to your nose, sir?"

Devis couldn't say a word as he stood there finding some excuses when Callahan said, "Oh! Cat got his nose."

Mr Denver nodded and said, "Then we have to look out for this cat then."

"You bet, we do." Callahan smiled which made Devis more furious as Mr Denver or others didn't move from their position even if he clearly ordered them to take the trespasser out.

"What are you looking at?" He fumed in anger, "Take him out of the building!"

"Err... But Mr Devis," the receptionist said, "How can we do that to our boss?"

Devis looked at them with a puzzled face and his anger evaporated immediately. "What do you mean? Just get him out of here!"

"Mr Denver, do as he says." Callahan said with a grin playing on his face, "Throw the trespasser out."
