Chapter 15 - Inner Battle

She got off and stood outside bending on the level of glass window.

"Good bye, sir."

"Take care, Miss Syna."

She gave me a wholehearted smile and went into the building.

She was gone but took my stupid heart too with her last smile. I was relieved that she was taking things my way.

I stood there like an idiot staring the pathway thinking about her. And every thought intensified these strange feelings. I guess the poison of love was doing it's work very well.

--------------

With a heart filled with volcanic emotions which were erupting slowly within my body, I rushed inside the building without glancing backwards at Mr Sinclair.

"Phew! What is happening with me?"

I banged the door shut behind me with a thud, questioning myself upon these strange sensations that were creeping into my body, like wriggling of insects, pleasurable crawl but infectious at the same time.

Something jumped into my mind and my body unconsciously dashed towards the window, I moved the curtains aside praying for him not to be there, but deep down struggling with the 'demonic me'.

"What the heck is wrong with this man?"

My eyes landed onto Mr Sinclair's shiny glittering limo which was halted in front of the building, contrary to the surroundings. Okay, I understood he came to drop me but why is he still down there now?

"What is he upto now after treating me differently? What is he going to do to make me miserable among people?"

My blood boiled instantly upon placing the things in order, and recalled the incident with other applicants.

Was he intentionally making the situation difficult for me by treating me like, his!

"Oh My God! Why would he do that? I mean I do not owe him anything."

The continuity of thoughts were going on when the abrupt ring of cell phone in my bag snagged my attention. I rattled for not to miss the call.

"Hello grandpa! Yes, yes it went well that day. Do not worry I will be okay on my own. Yes, yes I will be coming to visit you soon."

I ended the call giving him a kiss through voice, and heaved a loud sigh which echoed in my room.

As I glanced back down on the charcoal road and found Mr Sinclair's car nowhere.

"I should get moving to bed now."

Mr Lorenzo loved me like his own daughter as I stated you guys earlier so how could I make him worry about myself.

Yes, yes you guys guessed it right I have not told him about the task assigned by my agency. Instead I informed him that I left that job in search for an assistant vacancy. Though I mastered in different qualifications fit for both jobs.

How? You know how the young teens are. I had many dreams, a variety of dreams you can say. And to fulfil all those or some of them I studied various subjects at the same time and graduated with flying colors. Yes, a genius and crazy lady!

Leaving all this aside I headed towards my wardrobe, picked my cozy pjs and took a bath, slipped into those clothes and did a bed time makeover. When all was done I ogle at my appearance and no doubt I was pretty enough to catch every man's attention.

I tied my blonde hair in a bun, letting lose a few strands and placed a lip balm of cherry shade as a final touch up.

An exhausted yawn graced my face as I was still feeling sleepy, to hell with this new task. It left me a sleepless night yesterday.

Nevermind the reward was enough to live for two years without working and all just for a single big news!

"All set for visit."

I took the gift wrapped in a sheet, brought yesterday with Lolita and placed it in my bag. I loved my grandpa, now and then I bought him gifts whenever I pay a visit to the orphanage.

"Ugh! Mr Sinclair, I wish I had not chosen this job. I wish to escape now, this tingling sensation is creeping in my body and it's very strange. I have never felt this with anyone, my heart beats fast at your very thought."

I laid down on bed with thump and the glowing screen of laptop withdrew my attention, on which 'Sinclair MacLaverty' was placed in the searched bar.
