The Misunderstanding

" its not what it looks like." Sammy tried to explain. Her family only calls her by her full name when she is in trouble.

"Please listen to me." She implored.  All through this Matt was just looking at them with an impatient look.

"Sam, I see you are some what in safe hands. Here is my business card, call and let's discuss my payment for the inconvenience." With that Matt entered his convertible Mercedes and left.

Chase,her third brother was the next to ask. " Sam?, did he just call you Sam?"

" when do strangers call you Sam? We, your family aren't allowed to call you Sam apart from Grams, yet, a stranger does! Or may be he is not a stranger given the picture we just saw a while back."Fumed Chase.

"Answer damn it"  Thomas her second brother shouted.

"Boys, allow your sister time to answer, you are bombarding her with questions." Her mother Jeanette came to her rescue. Her father Carlos on the other hand was supporting his sons.

" Sammy, answer your brothers! Do you know that gentleman?" From the looks of things he isn't from our circles given the car he is driving and for the life in me I can't remember where I have seen him.

With glittering tears in her eyes
" Everyone please, polly broke down and he was the only person in this God forsaken path that stopped to help me. Now instead of judging me and putting me through interrogation can we go home am hungry and tired."

Her teary face pulled strings on their hearts and they nodded to her request. Chase volunteered to drive polly with Luke, as the rest rode on their jeep. Her mom couldn't help whispering to her,

" Sammy, why did that good looking gentleman ask for payment?he doesn't look like he needs the money" She was caught off guard, for she had hoped that  none will remember that part of the conversation.

"Mmmm.. he requested I treat him for lunch as a his pay for fixing polly." Her mum didn't push the conversatiom further, for she saw the fatigue written in her daughters face.

As the family was eating dinner, Sammy couldn't help remembering Matts face wondering if he ever smiled. After they cleaned up the table, Sammy excused her self to go and study as she was in her last semester in college. She was studying Public relations.

As she was studying, Kathleen, her best friend called to ask a few questions on the assignment given in class. Sammy was in a close knit group of three close friends whom she grew up with; Kathleen, Lisa and Brooke. They knew everything about each other.

"Hey Sammy, are we still up for drinks tomorrow evening?" Asked Kathleen.

" Yeah sure, why not. Will ring the others and we agree on the venue and time."

They did a teleconferencing call and they agreed upon the venue and time. During the call, Brooke told them she had a shocking story to tell them tomorrow and now everyone was eagerly looking forward to tomorrow's date.After a minutes of talking they finally said their good byes.

On the side of the town, Matt was in a call with his  P.A Ethan.
"I urgently need contacts for a young girl I met in highway 65 at around 7.30pm. I don't care how you do it,but  you have 45 minutes to do so." Commanded Matt.  After 6 years of working with Matt he was used to being assigned impossible tasks and this was no different. He called in favors and a cctv image from the highway was sent to him, with that his friend in the force was able to get Samantha's details and sent to him. In less than 30 min Matt had his contact.  He was always pleased with Ethans efficiency. With him running a successful multi billion company, he needed a competent team. From his cook to the PA everything had to run seamlessly.

Matt,owned Visions enterprises a successful tech company which had affiliates in different sectors. He was a self made billionaire having grown up in a middle class family.  The Richard's  family was made of David, Pamela and Matt Richard's. They were neither poor nor were they rich,so, he didn't lack growing up. Since child hood Matt had always had a knack in technology so it wasn't a surprise to his parents when he majored in electrical engineering.  From then, he put his efforts in establishing his company and developing products that filled the gap in the market. His success was from his hard work.He lived and breathed work. The only time he relaxed is when his two friends Tony and Max are in town since they also run their successful businesses.

Cling....cling.....cling..... rang Samantha's  phone. She was half asleep when she picked her phone.

"This is Sammy" she said groggily.
"  Buy me dinner tomorrow"  the deep voice said. Sam looked at the caller ID but didn't have that number.

" who is this?" Gently she asked.

"  The piped piper that you owe."
