Chapter 572 - Wake up

Ryan hit his forehead and ordered people around him, "Disperse."

'My image ruined, ruined, ruined....' He was muttering when Sam spoke.

"You guys should pay more." Sam jumped over and took another elevator.

Ryan had raised his hand to stop the security from chasing them. When he went near the gates, all gates opened automatically.

Sky entered the fifth floor first and saw Loran sitting and playing on mobile. She furrowed her brows and went to him, "Loran! How did you reach here?"

Sky didn't notice Loran controlling his smile as her eyes were checking around. "President said he knows you and brought me here."

"Idiot!" Sky pulled him towards the elevator. Seeing Sam enter, Sky handed the pistol, "Take him out safe."

Sky entered an elevator and pressed the last floor button still holding on to Baton. Sam looked at his hand which had Sky's pistol. "President Smith will be alive as her handgun is here."

Ryan who exited the elevator saw a pistol in Sam's hand before he kept it inside. "Do Sky have another pistol? Does she?"

Loran rolled his eyes and entered the elevator. Sam followed him saying, "Maybe."

Panicked Ryan took the general elevator as the Designated elevator and two higher-level management employee's elevator was taken. He didn't let anybody enter the elevator and cursed employees whenever the elevator door opened on different floors.

Sky who reached the top floor asked the secretary who was present near the elevator. "Where is your President?" Her tone was cold as ice.

Secretary was alarmed seeing the baton in her hand the cold air around her. "Miss... You... Do you have an appointment?"

Sky pulled her by the collar and repeated each word glaring right into her eyes, "Where. is. your. President?"

The scared secretary pointed towards Arlo's room. The latter was seeing all her activities sitting in his room chuckling looking at Sky who was scary enough to keep the people stay away from her. He had breathed a sigh of relief knowing she gave her pistol to Sam for taking Loran out safely.

All the secretaries ran behind Sky thinking she was there to cause trouble but they didn't dare go near her. One of the secretaries called security and Arlo's guards. 

Arlo's office door and the attached wall were glass hence he raised his head and saw her coming inside. Her speed remained the same till she entered the office, "You psychotic! How... dare... you..."

Her raged voice faded away as Arlo stood up looking at her. The baton fell from her hand.

'What's wrong with me? Why am I seeing things?'

She turned back and saw more than ten men and women behind her, she vaguely heard, 'Miss leave from here.' One reported to Arlo, "President Smith, This lady barged inside.'

She again turned to Arlo. She shook her head and looked at him, 'Am I dreaming? Am I still sleeping? Why Arlo is in President's office of Sigma headquarters?'

She took out her phone swiftly and called Arlo. As soon as she heard the caller tune, she also heard the ringtone of Arlo's mobile. The latter was leaning on his desk wearing a slim business suit looking refined and sophisticated. His hair was groomed showing his perfectly sculpted face. His one hand was stuffed in his pant pockets as the other hand was holding his mobile, waving it at her.

She dialed another number from which she got a message. Like previously, Arlo again waved his mobile at her which had 'Wifey(Heart emoji)' as the contact name.

Sky's head started throbbing. 'I'm dreaming. How can Loran get kidnapped and still play with his mobile?'

'How can Sam leave me alone and leave?'

'Why will Arlo be here?'

'Or does this president look like Arlo?'

'He just said he had some work, how can I imagine him here?...'

She had many questions. Probably she even knew the answer but she was not ready to believe it.

Sky went towards Arlo but stopped after a few steps, She called David, it was received after a few rings. "Dad! Who is Arlo?"

Sky asked as soon as it was received. Her tone was neutral, her face didn't leave any expression.

"Your husband!"

"Dad!"

"He is President of Sigma industries." David replied as he laughed at the other end.

'No, No... How can he be president, he stayed with me all day all night. If he is the President of Sigma, how can he work as my secretary...'

"No! He is my secretary." Sky said firmly and hung up.

She went ahead and raised her left hand near his neck keeping her eyes on his face. Arlo's lips slightly curled up making the few women standing near the door to go aww.

Sky knew that smile. She knew his eyes, she knew his mole. His collar pin was demon wing which she designed. Both their wristwatch was from the limited Couple Edition. She could feel the slight bump of the mole near the neck. She retracted her hand immediately and left that spot.

But Arlo held her hand after she took a few steps "Sky!" His confused tone heard in the office. He couldn't make out anything from her expression.

Sky released her hand instantly from his grip and took a step back. "You! You are not Arlo. He is my secretary. He is my husband. That idiot was speaking President of Sigma when I was sleeping and because of it I'm getting this dream or I may be imagining things. You are not him."

Sky started shaking her head mumbling "I never wanted him to be rich. I love him as he is. I have to wake up first. I have to wake up." Sky took a few steps back and turned to leave when she was pulled to embrace before he kissed.

'I never wanted him to be rich. I love him as he is.' That's what he always wanted to hear. The one who loves him for what he was, not for his money. That was the reason he never wanted to date thinking 'all girls are gold diggers'.

'Why am I getting kissed in a dream? Sky! Wake up, Wake up, wake up....' She was repeating the same sentence in her head.

Seeing her not respond, he pulled her close to him as he pressed her lower head and deepened the kiss. Sky came out of the daze and reacted to break free but latter intensified leaving her no option other than responding. Or appropriate to say would be fighting back.
