Yo fellow Wattpadders!

Sorry it took me a long time to update. I've been really busy with a school project and the school year is almost over so it's getting really busy lately.

Talitha's POV

I really don't know how we ended up like this. Sound's lips are still on mine. The funny thing is that I'm letting him kiss me!

Geez, Talitha!

I kinda want to kill myself right now. 

Siote's smiling face popped into my mind. I pull back from the kiss, leaving Sound dazed. We were both breathless. Well, I have to admit that it was some kiss. It didn't have that spark I felt with Siote though. It felt... weird, for some reason. Do I like Siote that much?

Fudge.

Sound steps closer to me. I shake my head, moving back. I'm not looking at him in the eye. My face is pretty flushed at the moment.

"N-No," I managed to say between breaths "this is, this is wrong, Sound"

Sound shakes his head. 

"It wasn't," he says "it felt so right for me"

Oh man. I really don't want this conversation with him right now. I felt a vibration in my pocket. I fish it out and my eyes widened when I saw several missed calls from Laudia. 

Fudge, I didn't notice. I opened up her latest text.

Talitha-

Please call me as soon as you read this

Sound's eyebrows furrowed. He placed his hands in his pockets.

"What's wrong?" he asks. I shake my head.

"Laudia" I say, dialling her number. I saw Sound tense up. My eyebrows furrow. Why? He seems suddenly nervous for some unknown reason.

Laudia answers after three rings.

"Hello?" I say in a soft tone.

"Talitha?" she says "Talitha! I've been trying to contact you for hours!"

I'm in such big trouble.

"Sorry" I say in a apologetic tone "why are you trying to contact me?"

"I wanted to ask if Mr. Maine is with you" she says. I shudder for a moment. Oh man.

"Y-Yes, he is" I say. Sound is beside me now, listening intently to me.

Laudia sighs relief.

"Thank goodness," she says "he is badly needed here in the company meeting asap. The big boss is having a fit. He doesn't like it if the board is incomplete"

Just fudging great. I glared daggers at Sound but he just stares at me amused and his lips are twitching, trying to suppress a smile.

"I'll make sure he gets there" I say. 

"Good. Thank you" Laudia says.

"Okay, bye" I say and hang up. I angrily place my phone in my pocket again. I head for the stairs.

"Come on" I say through gritted teeth. He is still amused.

Man, he's annoying me.

"What's up?" he says casually. I turn to him, my hands on my hips.

"What's up?" I say in disbelief "Laudia just called telling me to get you to that meeting and the big boss is kinda angry because you didn't show up"

He raised an eyebrow.

"Big boss?" he says, grinning. Darn, he's frustrating.

"Yes!" I exclaim "now come on"

He grins wider. My eyes widened when he suddenly picks me off the ground then heads for the stairs.

What the?

I clutch his neck, afraid of falling. He's carrying me bridal-style down the stairs. Wow, I never expected this.

"What are you doing?!" I cry out "Put me down!"

He merely shakes his head. He's carrying me like I weigh nothing. 

"You're just gonna slow us done" he says. I raise an eyebrow. Seriously? I can't believe he just said that!

"I can't believe you just said that!" I say. He shrugs, grinning.

"You wanted us to go there fast, right?" he says. Okay, now he's using my own words against me.

"But-"

"Say no more, Ms. Stalker" he says. I scoff. He chuckles.

Him and his smart mouth.

Siote's POV

The meeting finally ended. The meeting was only occupied by me, my father and mother and also Sound's mother. Laudia comes up to me, nervously. I can't blame her. The atmosphere is pretty intense.

"Sir, Mr. Maine is with Ms. Stalker" she says, softly. I tense. What?

"And?" I say through clenched teeth. Laudia fliches. Damn. Maybe I said it too harshly.

"They are coming here now, sir" she says. I nod. I dismiss her then she scurries out of the room.

"Siote, what is it?" my father asks.

"Sound is on his way here, father" I say.

"Too late for that!" he says angrily. We all flinch at his tone. He turns to Melody.

"Melody, I would need to speak to your son once he's here" my father says.

"Lim, please don't be harsh on him" Melody says.

"I am just going to brief him about the importance of business and give him some discipline" he says.

"Lim" my mother says in a concerned tone.

"i won't be too harsh on him" my father says.

"But you will be harsh on him?" Melody says.

"He needs to learn discipline, which you obviously didn't show on him, Melody" my father says in a hard tone. Melody winces.

"Lim, that was too low" my mother says. My father sighs then turns to Melody.

"I apologize" he says. Melody just shakes her head. Laudia enters the room once more.

"Sir, Mr. Maine and Ms. Stalker have arrived" she says to me. I nod. 

"Send them up" I say. She nods.

"Right away sir" she says the quickly leaves.

"Sound has arrived, father" I say.

"About time" he says.

This is not gonna be good.
