Worlds Apart (Completed)

Chapter 38: Dinner Like Friends

"It's been four days Samuel since my interview and he didn't call back," I grunt as I put down the cardboard box filled with papers rather forcefully on the tiled floor. I heave a sigh and put my hands on my hips and turn back.

"Calm down. Everything takes time." Samuel says, coming inside the room with a large box in his hands filled with my clothes and puts it down in a corner.

We are shifting my things to my new apartment. Apparently, Samuel thought it would be safe and easy if I lived on my own and also for my aunt. Of course, my aunt wasn't ready for it and didn't approve of it right away but Samuel had his way with her. He told her that it was a big job for which I would be handed private documents of the company so it was to be done for privacy purposes. She was obviously not sure about it but she agreed in the end but what I wanted was for her to talk to my mother which was the hardest thing.

If I talked to her, it would be hard to explain and she would get all worried and emotional rather than being understanding so my aunt talked to her and explained that I got a great job through my boss and would start living in an apartment of my own, hearing it she obviously got worried and said that;

'What Kind of job suddenly gives you an apartment, I know I live in a town which is very different from the city but it doesn't mean that I have no such knowledge.'

My aunts assured her that it was all because of Samuel, she knows the guy and has known him for so long and she should be happy for me because I'd have my own apartment and good pay. My mother finally gave up and wished me her blessing.

"It's too long already! I don't know if your source even works..." My voice lowering at the end as I think over the cause of delay for their reply. "I've ruined the interview I'm telling you. It was all useless what I did." I sigh.

"No, it wasn't. You were perfect according to me. Trust me he'll get back to you." He says, picking up another set of box and placing it to the corner. "And besides he owes this much to us. SILLA has a big share of his company he can't refuse Mr. Garrison."

"But you said that he can prefer someone of his own too."

"Well, that may be but he won't. I'm sure he wants to build good relations with SILLA." He says with a smug smile. "And besides you did a good job I assure you-"

"And what did you do!?" Suddenly remembering his mistake, I snap at him. "I thought you made sure to hide anything that may give a clue about my family!?" I hiss at him. Rage boiling inside of me.

"I thought we were done discussing that Sarah?" He gives me a bored and tired expression.

"You can never get away with this! My aunt is part of my family how dare you not hide about my acquaintance with her?!" My fists clenched and hanging beside my hips.

"Sarah... it was necessary-"

"Necessary my foot!" I spit out as rage flares up a notch. My eyes not leaving his as he looks at me with hands in the air.

"Okay listen to me-"

"I've had enough! It's about my freaking family Samuel! I can't let anything happen to them, whatever happens, it should be me! Not even my aunt! She helped me reach here! She gave me a place to stay, I don't know what could I have done without her." The empty room echoes with my raged voice.

"She was broken once I told her that I was moving out of the house, she was more than suspicious of this job, she was doubtful because she cared about me. It doesn't matter if it were you to convince her she still was afraid for me! She wanted me to be safe. I want to keep her safe too... You don't understand... I don't want to hurt her." I pant and cautiously he steps to move closer to me. "She was so happy to have me there with her... It was like she never had someone close to her for so long."
