Chapter 121 - Ditched

"He's sick,"

My eyes widened to what Vin said. Why Noah didn't tell me?!

"He's still sleeping right now and he's barely talks so--"

"Why didn't you tell earlier?!" I stood up and about to get my bag when he suddenly pulled my arm.

"Let go Vin! He needs me!"

"But the shop also needs you!" He shouted.

I paused to what he said. His eyes were pure and saying the truth but my mind was eager to go to him. I wanted to take care of him.

"Vin..." I gave him a pleading expression.

I wanted to go so bad. No one would ever care for him but me..

"He'll be fine, Raine. I made sure that he'll eat and take his medicine before I left. I'm sure Noah would prefer you to stay here than go to him." He said in a calm voice now.

I don't understand it. His shop is important, I know that. But Noah doesn't have someone who will stay beside him but me. The shop can wait, and besides Adrian will be here in any minute.

"You have to guide your new employee. He doesn't know all the rules and policy in this shop," He shook his head like he knows what I'm thinking.

Geez..

Is there really no other choice?

I checked the time and I sighed when I saw how long it takes to finished everything.

That guy! It's so upsetting! I feel like he didn't want me to take care of him!

"Don't stress my brother for ranting like that," he chuckled.

He even covered his mouth with his palm, so I arched a brow at him.

"Who told you that I'm ranting? Do you have proof?" He so annoying.

"It's obvious, Raine." He laughed and went to Noah's office.

"Hey! Get out!" I glared at him.

"Why? Am I not allowed here?"

"Yeah. And I don't trust you." I pulled the hem of his shirt so he could go out.

"You're hurting my feelings." He pouted.

"Don't pout. You looked like a dog,"

I placed him on the side of the wall. He's so irritating. Why is he still here? He's useless after all.

"A cute dog, I think." He winked.

Yuck!

"Just get out. I don't need you here!" I pushed him off the door.

"After I fetched you? You'll only pay me for this?!" He complains but I didn't care.

Noah ordered him and not me, so basically it's not my fault.

"Fuck! Look at my shirt! It looks trash! You crumpled it!" He greeted his teeth.

"Your fault dumbass!" I mocked and left him there.

That guy's really pain in the ass. I heard his curse at my back so I just laughed and walked straightly inside. I still need to clean.

I checked the time and Adrian would be late after 5 minutes if he didn't come here before the time. I just hope he would be here in an exact time. Because if Noah's here, he wouldn't let it pass.

That guy's really depressing! I can't move on that he ditched me!

I heard the door rang and Adrian entered inside wearing his usual clothes and hairstyle.

"Good morning!" He greeted with a wide eyes.

He looked happy, huh?

"Morning." I greeted back. I didn't want him to notice that I'm in a bad mood.

I can't be affected with my work. And after this, I would go to Noah whether he likes it or not.

"I'll do that," he offered.

I just nodded and gave the mop to him. I felt inactive today and I just wanted to go to him.

After a few minutes, I guided him with the rules and policy of this shop. He looked pretty attentive though, because I can see that he's really listening.

"You need to finish half of this within this day only. Do you understand?" I gave him the flashdrive and went inside the office.

I'll be the one to do his works and it feels so lonely that he's not here..

I missed him..

Is this what it feels once I entered college soon? Will he be able to contain it?

I just did my best to do all the works without thinking about him. I always checked the time and I was texting him if he eat already but he's not replying to any of my texts!

Oh god. I'm getting worried.

"Miss Raine?" Adrian knocked on my door so I gestured him to come inside.

"What is it?" I asked while holding my pen.

"Can you check the files that I sent to you? It's on the folder 1067." He smiled.

Was he done?

"Ah. Sure!" I nodded and find the folder.

I was surprised when I saw all the files on the computer and it's all done! Damn. I only told him to finish half of it but..he finished everything! And it's really fast!

I checked the time and it's exactly 5 in the afternoon now! Fuck! How can he work so fast?!

"Did you..edit it well?" I glanced at him and he just smiled and nodded.

I turn my eyes at the computer and saw all of his editing. It's highly edited and clean! The layout was so smooth and the contrast and colors were so damn good!

"Wow.." I just muttered. Like, dude! He's so good!

"Do you like it?" He asked.

He somehow a bit anxious to my answer so I just gave him a genuine smile. I don't have to deny that he's really good. And seriously, I've never seen someone who edits as clear as this! Gosh! He would be accepted to a bigger company!

I want to asked him about the kind of editing he's using because we're different of way of editing. And I think he has a technique on how to make it fast. I badly want to know it but I'm embarrassed.

"So what should I do next?" He asked, looking around.

Ah, right. One of the things that Noah made changes with the contract was our way of accepting projects from the customers.

It has to be appointed so we could schedule its date where we could submit the work by its exact time.

There will be no problem for that..

"You can go home now," and I'm also happy that I could go home and go straightly on Noah's unit.

I've finished my work also so I didn't have to stay here that long.

I grinned as I thought about Adrian's great skill! Damn. I think Noah won't have a problem in the future if he became his full-time employee.

"Okay. So, I'll go now.." He gestured the outside and I just nodded.

"Take care.."

"Thank you, Ms. Scott."

And then he left. I also turned off my computer and prepared for my things. I went inside the rest room to retouch my make up so I would looked presentable in front of Noah later.

He can't think that I'm not beautiful today even if I'm stressed. I should be always looked fresh.

Damn it. Why am I super conscious with my look?

"Yeah right. Noah won't even care if I get ugly though," I said sarcastically and finished what I'm doing.

I still have to take a grab to go to his place so I really moved fast and be there in any minute. I wonder if he's okay now.

"Thanks, Sir!" I happily said to the driver of the grab and went outside.

I immediately smiled when I saw his building. I wanted to see him so bad. I know I'm too old for ranting but that's my boyfriend. I think it's still normal.

I giggled and went inside the elevator. I was checking my phone for how many minutes now but he's still not answering. He replied to my text earlier but it didn't last long. He just simply said 'I'm fine baby. 'Don't worry..', and after that he didn't text anymore.

As soon as the elevator door opened, I run towards his unit and entered the passcode. I didn't have to knock since it's just me. He don't expect any guest here.

When I stepped inside, I immediately smelled the perfume of Noah and its really refreshing. I looked around trying to find him but I didn't saw him. That's why I went inside his room. He only had two place where he could stay long in this house. It's his room and the living room. He loves watching so I assumed that he's inside his room because he's not here at the living room.

When the door finally opened, I saw Noah sleeping on his bed while the comforter was wrapped around his body.

Damn that asshole. I thought he took care of his brother but look at Noah now. He looked terrible!

His face was so pale and when I touched his forehead, damn man. It's burning hot!

I immediately run towards the bathroom and prepared some damp towel and a warm water where I could wiped around his face and place on his forehead.

I was cursing the whole time when his fever was still unstable. I'm freaking worried and angry. How can he not tell me about this!

Fuck! I know I always repeat this but he's wrong! He should be treated right away and his damn stupid brother neglected his brother like this!

"Damn. What should I do with you baby?" I caressed his cheeks.

I don't know but I felt emotional as I stared at his weak face. He has no energy to speak and I'm so worried for that.

"Why are you so prone to illnesses baby?"

I felt his hand on my hand, slowly pressing it and it just made me feel emotional more..
