Impossible Love.

Chapter 24

"He has not called, has he?" Leah asks breaking my chain of thoughts.

"Nope, but i don't expect him to. I mean imagine having nineteen million on line." I tell her the same thing I have been telling myself for the past one and half week.

"Wow, but you are important too." She says.

"I am or may be I am not, but he 200 plus people to feed. So let's leave it at that." I tel Leah with finality and she doesn't budge anymore.

"Let's go clubbing today, it's Friday we can drink to our hearts content and dance too." Leah says excitedly.

"Sounds tempting. Okay let me ask Ryan if he is coming. I am sorry I have never been to the club without him. He acts as my boyfriend so no guys bother me. Not that it's a good thing but you know whatever works." I tell her and take my phone out to call Ryan.

"It's okay. I get it I did that with a friend back at home only difference was i actually wanted him as my boyfriend but he was so intrested in other girls. One day I did find a courage to tell him he said nothing just ran away. I have not seen him since, because I shifted to New York." She tells me and i keep the phone to my ear.

"Hey Z bear."

"Hi, are you free tonight?" I ask him.

"Not really but if you need me tell me I can cancel my plan." Always prioritising me.

"No what plans do you have?"

"I am going on a date." That's a surprise.

"Oh then carry on Ry, I am going for clubbing with Leah tonight."

"You have never gone to a club without me."

"I know I can manage." I tell him.

"I know you can , what will I do is I will go for dinner and if my date gets over soon I will join you two, just tell me where you are going. Also I will send my driver to pick you up. Please don't argue with me on this. He will also be your bodyguard. It will ease my mind and I will be able to concentrate on the date or else my mind will be thinking of all kind of bad scenarios that's happening to you." Well it's makes sense.

"Fine, may be by 9 o'clock send him to my house and thank you for looking out for me even though I am perfectly fine by myself." I tell him.

"I will always look out for you Zara, you are the only family i have and thank you for not putting up a fight. I will send him by nine his name is Marshall." He says. "I have a meeting now even if I don't come to the club, I will come to your place okay?"

"Okay, bye. I love you." I tell him

"I love you too bye." He hangs up.

"So what-." Leah starts but is cut off by my phone ringing again. Checking it's an unknown number. "Who is it?" Leah asks. I shrug my shoulder.

"Hello?" I say when I recieve the call.

"Hello am I speaking to Zara Maccari?" A British accent asks me from the other line.

"Yes you are, may I know who am I speaking to?" Leah looks at me and mouths speaker phone. So i switch it to speaker phone.

"This is Colton Emerson from London." He says like i am suppose to know but when I look at Leah her eyes are big as football.

"Okay?" I say it more like a question.

"Yes sorry actually, I wanted to talk to you about some business." He says

"Mr. Emerson with all due respect I really don't know who you are and i am sure you know I am into fashion." I tell him.

"Yes it's related to your line of business, I am a businessman, investor and hotelier and it's Colton for you." He says.
