Burak was restless as he searched for his phone after they left the restaurant. He left in such a rush to get away from Miss Aydin as she kept grabbing his arm inappropriately and he knew that his temper was about to reach it's climax, if he stayed any longer in the same room as her.

His mood was already spoilt by Daisy's call on things in Cape Town and now he had to play this charade game with Miss Aydin because of his mother.

"Yildez Bey, have you seen my phone?"

"No sir. When was the last time you had it?"

"I think it was when we left the office, I recall putting it in my pocket"

"Let me give it a ring for you sir"

"Thanks!"

Burak rested his eyes in the backseat while Yildez tried calling his phone.

"Sir, you're not going to like this..."

He opened his eyes quickly when he heard Yildez tone of voice.

"Tell me.."

"Miss Aydin has your mobile. According to her it slipped out of your pocket when you were leaving"

Burak exhaled loudly.

"Offf! I'm sure this was part of her plan! How can it conveniently slip out of my pocket there of all places?! Must have been when she was grabbing my arm to stay. Oha! I really don't need this right now"

"Sir, do you want us to turn back to fetch it?"

"No, we already almost at the penthouse. You can retrieve it tomorrow on my behalf"

"Yes sir"

Arriving at the penthouse, Burak grabbed a quick drink then went to work out for an hour. He felt much better after burning out all the stress he had in his mind. Getting into the shower, he was relaxing his mind before getting back to work. It wasn't long when reality hit him and his eyes grew wider. Showering quickly and then heading to the landline to call Yildez.

"Hey sorry for calling you, but please make sure you get my phone from that woman first thing in the morning. I just realized that if Izzy called and Aydin answers then I'd have bigger troubles!"

"Sir, why don't you call Miss Izzy and explain beforehand? Lessen the chances of being angry at you"

"I would Yildez Bey.... If I memorized her number. I pretended I did, but never got around to really doing it" Burak admitted ashamedly.

"I have it sir, I will email it to you now"

"Thanks Yildez Bey! You really are a lifesaver!"

After he received Izzy's number he tried calling it, but went to voicemail.

"What time is it now? She should be by the hospital now... Maybe I will give her a ring later again"

Sighing loudly, Burak picked up his laptop , some files and started working. Not noticing the time he spent on work, he stopped when he realized how starving he was. Walking to the kitchen to heat up a ready made meal, he saw the time on the microwave and dashed to the telephone. Calling Izzy's phone again, this time he was confused by the background noises he heard before someone answered.

"Hello? Izzy? Hey? Where are you?" Burak asked a bit flustered.

"Good evening sir. This is nurse Michelle, are you a relative of the patient?"

"Patient???! What's wrong with Izzy? Can I speak to her? "

Burak was in panic mode and kept asking questions instead of letting the nurse speak.
