Secret CEO || p.jm (On Hold)

Previously on "Secret CEO" :

Divisha goes shopping and to her surprise finds a 'Secret Garden' showroom newly opened. She goes in to buy herself a dress and receives yet another surprise when she is told by the staff that she has won a "LIMITED EDITION DRESS" designed by the one and only CEO of SECRET GARDEN! She tries the dress and it fits her perfectly, much to her delight. It appears as if this girl had the best day ever.

After taking the dress and the one she bought, she heads back to their hotel, by then night has descended on the streets of Paris and the city itself looked magical in its clutches... but as she heads into a deserted street, she finds a stranger, wearing a black hoodie over his head and his face was covered by a mask, behind her and by the looks of it doesn't seem that the man is taking a nice and calming stroll in the magical night...

Chapter 3: "A stalker??! Or is he not?"

"Haah... Haah..."

I start to fasten up my pace without taking a break to catch my breath. I glanced behind to check whether that guy was still following me, but to my surprise, he was nowhere to be found. I sighed in relief, but the feeling of dread didn't escape yet.

Maybe I was wrong .... he might have been just talking a stroll as well since today's night is really beautiful, might has well enjoy it a bit too...

Don't freak out Divisha. You're just being delusional...

But it seems my luck has drained out today following all the lucky events that happened to me before. Just minutes after I thought the man stopped following me, I again find his presence hovering behing me.... and this time, he's a little too close...

I again picked up my pace and too my surprise he picked up his speed too. Earlier I couldnt see his face but now that I got a good look at him I can see that he is not bad looking... well more like, he's rather charming...

But you know as they say 'Appearances can be deceiving' and the moment we were out of the dark street into the main street of the neighborhood, I went straight to a lady police officer who seems to be doing her evening strolls.

"Umm... excuse me officer?"

"Yes, Maam... How may i help you?"

"Actually, I think... no... I'm sure that... that man over there is following me... I was hoping if you could help me a bit." I replied pointing at the man... who now seems to be talking on his phone, as if to appear busy.

Wow... nice acting mister. but you are busted!!

I see the police officer looking at a card which I think is his ID ... then she suddenly bows to him  and shakes his hand. I am astonised... like WTF???

I walk over to her and say "Excuse me...Why arent you taking any action? That guy over there was definately stalking me..."

"Miss, I have checked sir's ID and as per as his statement he was not stalking you ... Yes he was following you but it had a reason and i can assure you that its not one with any hidden motives."

"But I—" I paused and stared at the man.

By this time my patience has run out and I was getting annoyed, "I  dont need your assurance or whatever .... if you say that, this man is innocent then might as well show me his ID and tell me the 'not bad' reason he was following me for. As if a stalker has any not bad reasons for following someone." I whispered the last part but I am sure the man heard it because he comes towards us with an offended face.
