I couldn't think of anything, I was still there where she left me to dumbfound with myself. And I couldn't stop her from going away, I couldn't ask her anything. Her wrist; SHIT!
Her wrist, Oh God No! No! please this shouldn't be true.
They are light marks, We can't see them but we can feel them and the vulnerable look on her face told me everything I wanted to know. Shitttt! I don't know anything yet.
I fucking don't know anything about her, why she had done this to herself? Why she is so closed and away from everything? Why?
There are a lot of questions in my mind and still, I can’t ask her right away. I knew something was not okay with her, she seems too lost to hold on.
And I will drag her out from there. I don't care whatever the hell it takes from me. I can't stand there to see her this way.
I sat there trying to see if I can see anything from my own thoughts.
My office door flew open, I rushed and hugged him tightly. He is the only person who would help me through this. I never felt this way with any other woman. She is practically affecting me all over.
"Hey... Ethy " Evan said, Yeah! He is my best friend, my best support system ever, I know he always loves me much more, in fact, everyone seems to love me enough, but am I that capable of loving?
" Hey, Ethan, are you okay you looked shaken up, what happened?" Evan asked me, looking at my eyes. I couldn't say anything else.
"I need you Eve" Damn my voice.
"Okay, that is why I am here for you always, what's up? What is wrong? I haven't seen you like this before?" He always knew how to make a smile. Bloody dramatic! He laughed.
" Yeah, I'm okay, have a seat, I shouldn't have reacted like that" I turned to take my seat.
"Yeah, No offense, Actually I'm getting used to that now" He stated playfully. That's when it clicked me.
It must be my look which amused him and he laughed quite loudly. Man!!
"So tell me what happened? You look like someone beat the shit out of you" He takes a seat and smirked playfully.
"Don't make fun of me Evan I'm serious! " I shook my head and stated. He rose his eyebrows with surprise, He knows whenever I got serious I used to do that.
"Don't you fucking kidding me, Cole! Are you under the impression of someone? If yes, then I will kill you. You know what happened in your previous relationship. You are a gold-hearted person, don't just mess up with yourself. The one who is meant for you will be yours and will come around" and here it goes on with his What-you-don't-have-to-do-things.
He is my childhood best friend and now he is an architect running his own firm.
"Yeah, I know Eve! it’s not like as you think, but I can't keep that thought out of my mind" I tried my best to convince him but he didn’t.

Yeah, I was in a relationship with someone for a short period but I was serious about her and it turned out, she was cheating on me. She was only after my money. That day I was expecting my anger to flood away with frustration, betrayal, hate, with heart-ripping pain but nothing came out.
I was numb. Maybe I was expecting these kinds of things to happen and then I changed myself but positively. She had taken all bad thing's from me just like immaturity and blind trust, After that, I dropped my nose in my career, my job and it came out that I'm the part of this successful company, and obviously, now she is with someone else who has a lot of money, Fucking gold digger.
It took me all to come out from that and I supposed to be a stone. My all feelings were dead until I saw Ishita, of course!
I don't want to deny that fact. She has some power over me which is confusing the hell out of me. But something is better in the silence than in the loud.

But as I said, it was just one thing that dents my heart. Yeah, that hurt badly for some time and I keep myself busy in the Ocean of work. It’s the only thing which helps me to come out from that.

Before I could say anything,  The door of my office flew open. What the hell?
Ishita stepped in with her head down and she went to her desk, her face is red as if someone just slapped her, her eyes were swollen, Oh No!!
Shit shit shit, She was crying Oh Crap!!
And now she is retrieving files and papers and all the things from her desk, What is she doing? Leaving? Oh No! double Shit...
She didn’t even look at me once, What’s going on?
Before I could ask her anything she was out of my cabin without even glancing on my side. Moreover, I deserved it.
He breaks the silence "Was it " Evan looked at her, walk her exit, and turned around to me., I hide my face behind my hands " Oh No Coles you better not again do that mistake for God’s sake" He shakes his head horrifyingly at me with disbelief.

He is really my best friend and sometimes annoying too.
"No, It was just hell man, actually I don't know anything. And I know I can not dwell into that " I punch my desk and huffed annoyingly.
" Whoa, Man chill. It will be fine she seems so cute and sweet though" He winked at me. Trying to defuse the situation. And it works.
I can't help but smile and roll my eyes. He knows how to handle me.
" hands-off" I warned him,  He just laughed, damn him.

That’s true, She is cute yeah,  but her wrist, Why would she do that to herself? What happened to her in her past?
After Evan left my cabin with hell out promises for parties. Now all I know what I have to do, but I can’t find her where she is? There is not even a single thing of her on her desk.

I called my assistant " Renny, Where is Ms. Ishita?"
" Sir she left early" That’s the last thing I wanted to hear. I knew I messed things up but I can't help myself. When I was about to hang up she stopped me.
"And oh Mr. Nicole's,  She called a few days off and will completing her work as in work from home or something like that," She said and I hung up without any more second. What the hell does that mean? I want to know all the things about her before any conclusions.
Later then,
I read all files of her life, Asked my investigator if there was something, But came out nothing. I must be sounding like a creepy stalker but I can't help it.
This the way I am.
