I woke to empty side beside me. Neil was not here. I stood up and went inside the bathroom to freshen up. After bathing and getting ready I went into the living room only to find no one there. Neil left. "Neil?" I called. But I got no answer. "So he really left" I groaned.

What makes you think that he will stay? A voice inside my head said. Neil is starting to get on my nerves. He is making me a mad man. How can he just leave without a goodbye? My head was hurting. Like a desperate person I called him. He picked up on the fourth ring.

"Hello?" he said.

"Why did you leave?" I asked.

"I am sorry that I left without waking you up but daddy called me and it was urgent" he breathed.

"Okay" I hanged up.

I look pathetic. Begging a person to be with me, to talk to me. I guess I should just stop. Stop bothering Neil. Anyways he doesn't need me. Last night he just used me for comfort. The doorbell ranged, I walked to open the door. I opened the door and it was my house maid and cook.

"Good morning sir" Lizzy greeted. I nodded. We walked inside. "Sir what would you like to have for breakfast?" she asked. "No need to prepare breakfast. Just clean the house and leave. I'll be going to office" I started leaving. "But sir-" I cut her off and left.

I reached my office. My secretary came inside the cabin and told me my schedule and damn I was busy as hell today. I started indulging myself in work. I should just focus on work. I should forget about Neil. I have my self-respect and I won't let anyone harm it.

It was already evening. I didn't had my breakfast nor lunch. Heck I didn't even had time to check my phone. "Sir it's already late and you didn't eat anything" my secretary came inside. "It's okay you can leave Thomas" I smiled. "But sir you look tried" he sighed. "Thomas I am fine and it's already past your work time so I suggest you to leave. Your girlfriend must be waiting" I teased.

He blushed and looked down. "I...don't know whether I should tell you this but I don't have a girlfriend and I don't swing that way. I am...I like boys" he rubbed the back of his neck. "You are blushing" I laughed. "Any guy caught your attention?" I asked. "Yeah. But he sees me as boy who talks a lot. He just grumpy and hard to impress. I heard from his friends that he is straight. So my chances are low" he sighed.

"Don't worry. I can feel you" I sighed too. I heard a knock. 'Come in' I said. It was my bodyguard. Head of bodyguards to be precise. Arthur is an emotionless Russian guy who was built huge with muscles and body. He was tall, taller than me. He was 6'5 I guess, with body sculpted like a god. I hired him because he was good at boxing and we had boxing sessions every once a week.

"Sir" he bowed. "Yes Arthur?" I asked. I saw Thomas freezing in his place. He was just looking at Arthur more like giving him heart eyes. "Interesting" I muttered. "Sir Mr. Abhishek asked you to visit him for dinner" he said in his thick Russian accent. "Okay. Let's go" I stood up.

"Thomas how are you going to go home? Heard your car is in repairing" I asked. Thomas had told me that his car was damaged because he is not a good driver. I doubt from where he had the driving license. He used to come by bus so I gifted him a car for working hard and making progress for company.

But now the car was in repairing. "I will take the cab" he stuttered. "It's already late" I pointed. He nodded his head. "A pretty guy like you shouldn't go home alone late at night" I smirked. I could see Arthur looking at me and frowning. And now is my chance to play cupid. "Arthur drop Thomas home, I'll go by myself" I said and threw my car keys at him. He caught it in his hands. "But how will you go? Sir I can go by myself...You don't have to...Arthur must be busy" Thomas rambled.
