NOTE: As I said before every song which is onthe attachment video will set the context to my every chapter, so please don't skip it.

Pearce Pov:

As I walked into the restaurant, I found that the entire restaurant was full, as if there was a fair going on. Ignoring all of them, I was in dire need of coffee owing to the mammoth headache I have.

While I was staring how the cup was being filled with coffee, out of nowhere came Cindy, and said "oh, good morning Pearce! You have arrived already"? Without answering her question, I started walking towards my cabin. As I was not at all in the mood to talk with anyone.

"Pearce! Wait! Look, I know I was the one who convinced Mr. Roberto to call you on here even on you day off, but I had no choice left. And I beg your pardon too. For doing such things. But as you know, the VIP who's about to come is very, very special and on top of that, he is our chairman's son too.” As Cindy's talk is going on. I remembered the conversation between those three girls in the locker. So, they were talking about VIP. But I stayed silent over there because I really had nothing to talk about.

"And you know what Pearce? Last night our chairman got a heart attack, and now he is admitted to the ICU.” Cindy dropped the bomb. As soon as the words were out of her mouth, I asked her "Omg! What? Are you serious?” I felt like the ground has been moved from beneath my feet. And I moved straight from there towards the washroom. As soon as I came inside, I saw myself in the mirror. I didn't realize that I was crying.

FLASHBACK

Three years ago..

Like every morning, this morning also I woke up early before my alarm went off, which I had set at 6:30 am. I quickly got up and did my morning business and dressed up. As soon as I got down the stairs, I saw that my mom was already awake, and my breakfast was kept on the dining table which was none other than my favourite noodles. I could still see the steam coming out of it as if it had been just cooked. While greeting my mom who was still in the kitchen, I sat on the chair and started devouring my noodles.

"Good morning dear, today too you are leaving early for work?" Mom asked.

"Yes mom. As you can see, it's been a week the rain is continuously pouring, and you know how much I hate being late to work." Saying this, I took out my umbrella and headed towards the door.

"Take care of yourself and keep yourself warm as much as possible and don't get caught by a cold." Mom said with concern.

"Sure. I will” I assured her and stepped out and saw that the entire street was soaking wet. It has been raining cats and dogs since a week and it looks like not an inch of earth has been spared by the rains. I enjoyed rains but when it continues for this long, everything around me feels wet and cold. I hated the eerie feeling which comes with wet and cold.

I already tried pre-booking cab before leaving but this rain is impacting the cab services and I couldn’t find one. So, relying on my two feet I started walking towards my workplace. It might take half an hour walking from here. The streets are emptier than usual because of rains.

I saw a lady trying to cross the road. I screamed and ran towards the lady as she missed the approaching car. Luckily, I could pull her before the car hit her, but she lost her umbrella in this mishap. The driver stopped the car and came out apologizing us. The lady thanked me and asked the driver to be careful while driving in rain. I offered my umbrella to the lady and left for my work as I was getting late.
