During a night out, Freen, the daughter and heir of a conglomerate awakens a part of herself when she locks eyes with a young physics professor, Becky.
They fall HARD and FAST before realising all the obstacles that prevent them from being together...
Freen finally opened her eyes. Her sleep interrupted by the breaking news. She looked calmer and more alert now. Her head was still on their lap but her eyes were fixed on the tv.
"Miss Chankimha, how are you feeling?" Freen recognised that voice and it definitely wasn't Noey's. She looked up to see who had called out to her and as she suspected it was Becky.
"How are You feeling?" Becky repeated Freen felt quite self conscious all of a sudden. She didn't often expose her vulnerability to others so the thought that it was Becky and not Noey who had nursed her earlier on made her feel a little exposed.
Freen got up. "I'm fine." Freen replied Freen made her way over to her desk. She had no idea where Becky had come from and why she was there. She logged into her computer dismissively.
"Aren't you going to ask me why I'm here?" Becky asked tilting her head. Freen stared at her trying to hold back. "I'm your new secretary," Becky said
Freen maintained her cold expression and continued with her work. Becky got up and exited the office. "I'll be outside if you need me." She said
It was already late and most of the other staff had gone home for the day. Freen had slept through the entire day after her panic attack and wasn't able to get much done after all. After a few more hours she packed up her stuff and exited her office. When she opened the door she saw Becky still sitting outside at her desk.
"You're still here," Freen said Those words reminded Becky of the night they met and she blushed. Those were the same words Becky had said to Freen that night Freen waited at the back of the club for her shift to finish.
Freen also realised what she said and knew why Becky was blushing. "Go home," Freen said "Uh yes. I just wanted to make sure you were ok" Becky said
Freen locked her office door as Becky packed up her things. She headed towards the exit but stumbled. Freen was still physically drained from the panic attacked she had earlier that day. Becky got up and held her up.
"Let me call you a taxi." Becky said "I have my car" Freen said "I don't think you can drive" Becky said Freen tried to stand on her own for a moment but she couldn't. "Fine. I'm going to my grandmother's tonight. Here's the address." Freen said
The taxi arrived just a few minutes later and Becky helped Freen into the taxi then entered herself. "What are you doing?" Freen said "I have to make sure you get home safe" Becky said "It's going to be an expensive taxi ride. Above what the salary of a physics professor who's thrown away her career to become a secretary can afford" Freen quipped Becky smiled quietly as the taxi pulled off.

Freen rested her head on Becky's shoulder all the way to her grandmothers house. Being vulnerable or held by Becky felt natural when she was out of it enough.
When they arrived Becky met Freen's grandmother at the gate and introduced herself. "I'm Becky. Freen's new secretary, today is my first day." She said "Freen!!" Grandmother exclaimed as she held Freen up and led her inside. "Hi Becky, thank you for bringing her home. It's very kind of you to come all the way especially on your first day. I guess I can feel at ease when she's in your care in the future." Grandmother said.
Becky blushed as she entered the taxi and headed home.
