FLAMING ROSE

Chapter 13😥

       "I told you that locking her up and kissing her wasn't a good idea"Mr.Fox said.
        When Brian got home he had gone to meet his one and only confidant; his dad.
          But what was I supposed to do?I had no other option"Brian said totally confused.
          "Well, son if you say you can see the love she has for you,then you have to find out the reason she isn't ready to confess her feelings for you"he said.
           "But, how will I find that out? She isn't going to tell me"Brian said matter-of-factly.
           "I think you should talk to her father,Mr.Chris. I'm sure he'll tell you something"Mr.Fox replied.

      When Brian got to the office the next day,he found out that Amber hadn't come to the office. He was sure she was trying to avoid him. He didn't have time to worry about that because he was meeting with Mr.Chris in few hours.
      When Brian got to the place where the meeting had been planned,he met Mr.Victor Chris already seated and sipping a cup of coffee.
            "Hello,Mr.Chris,I'm so happy you honored my invitation."
          "My pleasure. Does this have anything to do with the business deal?"Mr.Chris asked worriedly.
        "No,Mr.Chris this has nothing to do with the business deal. I am concerning your daughter Amber" Brian said reassuringly.
    "Did she do anything wrong?"
       "No,Mr.Chris the reason why I called you here is to tell you how much I love your daughter. I know she has the feels the same way about me but she's not ready to confess her feelings."Brian said.
     "So you are trying to say that you love my daughter?"
    "Yes"
    "And she loves you too?"
    "Yes"
    "But she isn't ready to confess it?"
     "So why am I in the picture? You both are adults and should sort out anything that is needed to be sorted"Mr.Chris replied.
       "That's the main purpose of us meeting sir. I want to know the reason why she isn't ready to confess her feelings for me"Brian asked worriedly.
    "Well, Amber is behaving in this way because she doesn't trust in love"Mr.Chris said sadly.
    "But why?"
     "You see, three months ago Amber was in a relationship with a guy called  Jackson.They had been dating for four  years and Amber was hoping he would propose to her. With the way things were going everyone knew that he won't propose but Amber won't hear a bad word against their relationship"
      "Then what happened?"Brian asked curiously.
      "Well,on Valentine's day, Jackson asked Amber for some money,fifty thousand dollars. Amber gave it to him believing it was for their future. But Jackson didn't feel the same way. He ran away with the money and he never came back"Mr.Chris said getting angry just by thinking of it.
      "Now I understand why she is so ustile to me."Brian said sadly.
      "Son,if you want her to confess her feelings for you is you help forget her feelings for Jackson."Mr.Chris said.
