Fated to You

Chapter 6: Accidents and Conferences

RG Holdings

"Alright, when you are done, give us the call and we'll come to pick you up." Heng says over the window of the passenger seat to Freen, "We'll take your bags to our apartment."

"Thanks Heng." Freen bends down to the passenger seat door level and smiles at Heng, "You are an awesome friend to me."

"Don't mention it baby. Pablo and I are more than happy to have you at the apartment with us." Heng assures her.

Freen kisses him over the window then walks away from the car to let them go. She stands on the other side of the street looking at the huge building of RG Holdings headquarters. That is where she is about to start her new life and show off her management skills that she acquired at the small investing firm in Paris. She takes the new breath of air and starts taking her first step towards her new life journey.

She crosses the street without looking from either side of her and does not notice the incoming car that also did not notice her in the middle of the road. Someone yell for Freen to notice the incoming car but it was too late. The driver, from the screaming, stops looking at the person next to her and notices the girl crossing the street but too late. She stomps her feet on the brake quickly and stops short and bump barely into Freen's side knee and avoids a tragedy. The small impact nonetheless had Freen falling down on the concrete ground.

A small crowd quickly surrounds her. "Somebody call 911. The girl has been hit." A man advises the audiences in the crowd.

Someone else kneels by her side, "Young lady, are you alright?"

Freen winces in pain as she struggles to sit up.

The driver takes panic and runs out of the car and pushes past the small crowd, "Excuse me! Excuse me!" she says, pushing past and kneeling down by Freen. Once she sees who she just ran over, she froze.

Freen looks up and stares at the familiar figure, "You?"

Sam laughs quietly, "Looks like we meet again – twice in the same day too. I'm saying it is fate."

Freen tries to get on her feet with the help of Sam as she supports her up, "from the way we meet again, I'd say it's an unlucky blow." She winces as she holds her back trying to appease the pain. A few of the people from the audience also supports her.

"I think you should go to the hospital." Someone from the crowd concernedly offers.

Freen shakes her head feeling a little bit of her strength coming back, "That won't be needed. I'm fine."

"Are you sure? Why were you crossing the street without looking?" Sam asks as she walks Freen to the car and rests her there, "Did it ever occur to you that there are laws to follow in this city?"

"And you who call yourself a cop? How did you not see me crossing the street?" Freen snatches her arms away from Sam.

"I had the right of way. The light was green."

"Well the street was empty and I did look before crossing. And from what I could you tell, you were speeding. So technically, you are the one at fault in all of this." Freen spat.

"Oh. Am I now?" Sam steps back in shock, "Are you seriously going to blame for your carelessness?"

"I wasn't careless. I did check the streets before crossing. You were speeding above the legal limit. You're a cop, you should know." Freen starts raising her voice. The nerve of this lady accusing me of being careless when she was the one who was speeding in the first place, what the fuck! Freen gets off the top hood of her car and pushes Sam out of the way, ignoring the slight back pain that hindered her to stand upright. "Excuse me!"
