The First One...

Chapter 28

"What? Mike?..I can't believe this. Why is he doing this?" i asked confused and shocked.

"Don't know Sammy..But this is the reason Ben is pissed."

"But then why is Ben acting like this with me?" i asked him.

"Sammy..i think he needs time to calm down and he fears that he will lose you if he acts something wrong."

"This isn't a reason to act like that to me." i said getting angry.

"Sammy..i can understand. Just calm down. okay?" Jim said.

I nodded. This is too much..Ben is acting weird..what the hell is my fault in this?....now i am seriously feeling annoyed. Let him do whatever he wants. I am not going to call him again..and what is wrong with Mike?

"Jim..i have decided i will not talk to Ben unless he responds. I'm tired trying and this is not the reason to act like this to me if he really loves me."

"Sammy..don't worry. He will respond soon."

"I hope so."

Later, that evening, i didn't talk about Ben with Jim or anyone...

Next morning i was feeling bit dizzy but decided to go to work. I entered my office and saw Margaret wasn't there yet. I sat on my chair and let out a sigh. Just one day i am on leave and i have so much pending works.

Without any thoughts to disturb me, i started my work. I heard a knock on the door. It was Margaret.

"Hi..Morning Sammy..How are you feeling now?" she asked.

"Morning Mrs. Trevor, I am fine." i gave her a weak smile.

"You are not totally fine i can understand. Just take it slow. I will help you in some work if you need." she offered.

"Ohh Margaret that would be great. Thank you so much." i said nodding.

We both got back to work and she explained me what all i missed yesterday. I was glad she didn't mention Ben anywhere while we were working.

After lunch i got back to work, i noticed my phone buzzing. It was an unknown number.

"Hello?"

"Samantha.." a husky voice said. I stood their shocked as i guessed who it was..how did he got my number?

"Who is this?" i asked to confirm.

"You know who i am Samantha." he said. Anger flared within me.

"What do you want Mike?" i asked cutting the crap.

"There you are straight to the point. Well to answer you..i just want you to meet me."

"and why would i meet you?"

"Ohh Dear Samantha...you know why Beneddict is not talking to you?"

I gasped at what he said. How does he know Ben? and how does he know that he is not talking to me?

"How do you know that?" i asked.

He laughed out loud.

"Well.....Ben will not talk to you unless i tell him to. I am Emily's fiancé. We are engaged in front of their parents two days before. His dad has signed an agreement where the Sawyer's will have to handover their entire business to me if Emily disagrees to marry me, which is impossible and if she marries me i will be one of the Board of Directors having one-fourth of the ownership of your company's share. The only person who could dissolve this agreement is ME.. so Ben and his family has no choice....
