----------------------

I almost choked my own saliva. "P-pardon?"

"Did I stutter?" He stated cooly.

Fùck you!

"I'm sorry but I don't understand." I stood up from my seat ready to get out of here. Lydia also stood up but I warned her not to so she sat back. None of them stood except for me.

What the hell is going on? What did I do? Did I went to the bar and got drunk then slept with someone? I wanted to scream at his face but I kept my cool and stood still.

"You see Cassie.." He called me Cassie. Only my family called me that. No one would call me Cassie not even Amanda. "You were on the newspaper the day before yesterday and the headline said 'LOVE LIFE SAVER' and it stated that you were single." Old man. I just broke my fling relationship just yesterday  and now I was arranged to marry a stranger? The world is fùcking cruel!

I let him continue since I was speechless. "I wanted to find a perfect partner for my son because he's complicated. He brought unknown girls to the house, dr-"

"Im sorry but there is no program that could save your son or make him better here. I am not in charge of any rehab program. My work here is to come to a family dinner, impress the parents to accept  the girlfriends, fiancé or wife or I don't know!" I half shouted.

"You impressed me."  He said. "You're very good at controlling people and I-"

"Yes! But not arranged marriage!" I finally shouted at him. The two bodyguards almost stood up to shut me but John stopped them. "I can't do that. Not with a person I don't know. Not with the person I don't love!" I continued.

"Cassie would you pleas-"

"No! Don't call me Cassie! I don't agree with this and you can go now!" I controlled myself from cursing.

They froze at my outburst. Didn't expecting me to get mad at this matter. Of course I am mad!

None of them move. I then went to the door to open for them because I really can't face this anymore or I would've punch each of them.

John stood slowly while still looking at me probably shocked at my behavior. He motioned the two bodyguards to stand up and go first.

Both of them didn't mind to look at me. They're bodyguards after all. They don't really mind their surroundings..

John came last he stared at me for a while before he starts "please just help me. Help me get back my son." He pleaded. I could see the sadness in his eyes.

I looked down and sighed. "I'm sorry but I really can't do that. I'm not looking forward for marriage yet because I have a lot of work, I am pretty busy with life. I just can't." I said in a low voice.

He took my hand. "I am relly sorry John I can't help you with that." I repeated feeling sorry.

"It's alright Cass." He replied. Thank god he called me Cass.. "I know it is a hard job for you but I was really devastated. I can't do anything about it to make him better. I thought maybe a wife would do, but I'm also risking lifes just for my son. It's alright.." He paused and then showed me a sad smile. "I might as well send him to a rehab program soon. Thank you for your time Mrs.Mathew." He pat my shoulder and then out.

I rested my head on the door and sighed. Lydia's heels clicked onto the floor and stopped when she is in front of me.

"It's okay Cass. If you need some air you can." She tried to cheer me up.

I looked and smiled at her. "I'm alright. Don't worry." I assured. "I'm sorry that happened and you witnessed that too. Oh god." I slapped my forhead with my palm.

She smiled at me genuinely and hugged me. "You're not wrong for shouting at him. I would too, so don't worry." She winked. "Oh! And don't forget dinner with the William's. Be there as early as possible so you could help them too." She finished. I replied with a nod and then she went out.

Okay Cass, don't cry.. It's nothing serious. You need to be confident to face peoples.. Get the problem out of your head. Pretend it never happens..

I went to the staircase and took deep breaths. Shít my legs are shaking! Slowly Cass.. Slowly.. You're wearing sneakers.. It's better than my high heels..

My legs won't cooperate with me until I my right foot stucked on the edge of the stairs and tripped, face first.  Stupid architecture who made these stairs looked fancy but dangerous..

I groaned and stood up. When I look up, people  stared at me. The office suddenly became silent because they witnessed everything that happened seconds ago.

"I'm alright. No injuries at all." I assured them. All of them then proceeds with their work. Stupid me, stupid mind, stupid legs, stuuuuuu-

"Cass! Are you alright?!" Lydia ran to me with panic written all over her face. She touched all over my face and she literally doesn't care my tounge licked her palm in order for for her to stop. I grabbed both of her wrist and smiled at her.

"Like I said, I'm alright and no injuries." She let out a breath. I brushed out my clothes and straighten my hair. "No more other than the William's?" I asked just to be sure before I went to my office and head home. 

She shook her head. "Nope. Only the William's." She said. "Here.." She gave me a book and I took it. "You need to read all these. It includes all what Mr. & Mrs.William liked about their soon to be daugther-in-law; Marsha Adam and what Marsha does back when thier son; Jimmy William dated. You're going to be there as Jimmy's close friend that knows all about their history." She explained as we walked towards my office room.

"For example, how they met or how you helped Jimmy with the proposal. Anything like that. So don't worry, all you gotta do is read every words and let all that sinks here." She pointed at my temple with her index finger.

"Don't let what up there.." She pointed up. "Get innnntoo your cells." She wiggled her hands in front of me like magicians does.

I laughed. "Okay okay. I'll keep that in mind always." I stucked my tounge out. Lydia is really bubbly. She doesn't let anything ruin her mood and she really laughs a lot like not long after five minutes she laughs, she laugh again. Well.. I'm not complaining . She could literally lift up all my sadness or angers just by a simple jokes or gestures.

"Greeaaat!" She clapped. "Alright go ahead and pack ur stuffs." I then went inside my office and pack everything what I need.

Once I packed, I went out and Lydia walked me to the door.
